NFL Legend Jared Allen’s Tick Bite Diagnosis Every Athlete Needs to Know About

When a Tick Changes the Game: Jared Allen’s Battle with Alpha-Gal Syndrome

Most athletes know the importance of diet when it comes to peak performance; what you eat fuels your training, recovery, and overall health. But what happens when something as small as a tick forces you to rethink how you fuel your body completely? That’s precisely what happened to former NFL legend Jared Allen, who recently opened up about his battle with alpha-gal syndrome, a tick-borne food allergy that has reshaped his lifestyle—and his plate.

What is Alpha-Gal Syndrome?

Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS) is an allergy caused by the bite of the Lone Star tick, commonly found in the southeastern and midwestern United States. Unlike typical food allergies that react to things like peanuts or shellfish, AGS is unique: it causes the body to have a delayed allergic reaction to red meat and other mammal-based products. That means beef, pork, lamb, venison, and even hidden mammal-derived ingredients in foods or supplements can trigger severe symptoms.

The reaction doesn’t always happen immediately after eating, which makes it tricky to diagnose. Symptoms can range from stomach pain and hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis hours after a meal.

Jared Allen’s Diagnosis

For Jared Allen—known for his grit and strength on the football field—the diagnosis meant he had to completely cut mammal meat out of his diet and switch to what he calls a “fins and feathers” lifestyle, sticking to poultry and fish. Imagine going from fueling your body with steak or burgers after grueling workouts to suddenly being told those foods could send you to the ER. That’s a massive change for anyone, let alone a professional athlete used to finely tuned nutrition. (See link for article)

**Comment**

My son was recently bitten by a Lone star tick.  Well, I should say he was nibbled on by a LS tick, leaving a minuscule red pin prick.  The tick was not remotely engorged.  I received the frightening text from him but admitted I needed to brush up on all of this as so far Wisconsin patients are still mostly dealing with black legged ticks and Lyme/MSIDS even though Lone Star ticks have been found here.

But, the nibble was enough to cause profound illness in 2 weeks time.  (Yes, I’m kicking myself for not demanding prophylactic treatment, but we all grow slack at some point and need a wake-up call.  This was it!) 

His symptoms sounded exactly like Lyme but he was worried he had also developed Alpha Gal as he would get diarrhea within a few hours of eating red meat.  Thankfully this dreaded symptom quickly went away.

All I initially remembered was that LS ticks transmit not only Alpha Gal Syndrome (AGS) the meat allergy the NFL star got, but also STARI, which looks, smells, and acts just like Lyme disease, despite the fact at least 9 transmission experiments involving B. burgdorferi in Lone Star ticks have failed to demonstrate vector competency.  The offending agent of STARI is B. lonestari not B. burgdorferi, but the illness looks the same.  Go here for the nuts and bolts.

BTW: STARI is also called Masters’ disease, named after famed rebel Dr. Ed Masters who took the CDC on single-handedly and outwitted them.  All of Masters’ patients improved dramatically with extended antibiotic treatment despite the CDC’s belief that antibiotics should be used sparingly, if at all.

So, what to do?

Well, I figured if this looked and felt exactly like Lyme, it would respond to Lyme treatment.  My son went on the following (reminder: I’m not a doctor and I don’t diagnose or treat anyone):

  • 100mg minocycline, twice daily for two weeks; however when discontinued his symptoms returned, signaling that a layered approach was needed.  This is common.
  • he then pulsed 500mg tinidazole once a day for two successive days weekly
  • he then layered in 12mg ivermectin every other day
  • he did daily red light and sauna therapy
  • he did two rounds of EBOO (extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation) 3 weeks apart.  He said the EBOO completely knocked him on his butt and he had to take a day off work to sleep, but that shortly he felt the best he had felt since starting treatment.
It took every bit of that treatment for three months to finally knock it.
 I’m happy to report he has remained symptom free.

On a side note, ivermectin and/or fenbendazole has:

This was not a fun experiment but I know how important it is to share our experiences, as that is often all we patients truly have – each other.

Autism Reversal in Twin Girls & RFK Announces Thimerosal Ban

https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/autism-reversal-in-twin-girls-through-lifestyle-and-environmental-changes-new-study

Autism Reversal in Twin Girls Through Lifestyle and Environmental Changes: Case Study

Article Excerpts:
 
The twins received routine vaccinations at three and six months, but no further vaccination until 14 months. The girls were given acetaminophen before and after vaccination.

Initial Symptoms

The girls’ parents observed some initial symptoms. One twin had sensitivity to changes, eczema, and digestive issues, and the other had problems making eye contact, babbling communication, difficulty breastfeeding, and decreased muscle tone (hypotonia).

 
In March 2021, the girls received the series of vaccines that had been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After this round of vaccinations, their parents noticed a worsening of some symptoms, including “significant language loss” for one of the girls, who began communicating using only single words.

ASD Diagnosis

Due to the worsening symptoms, the twins were evaluated for ASD, and both subsequently met the criteria for DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition) ASD diagnosis.

Lifestyle and Environmental Interventions

After their diagnosis, the twins’ parents began a comprehensive, personalized approach to address their daughters’ condition. Their approach was holistic and non-pharmacological and considered a variety of potential environmental and biological factors influencing ASD.

 
The interventions and support for both the twins and their parents began after the twins’ diagnosis at approximately 20 months of age and continued over the following two years. The following is a summary of their interventions and support:
 
Brief SUMMARY:
  • Dietary changes
  • Supplements
  • Speech and occupational therapy
  • Addressed environmental toxins

The twins achieved a reversal of their diagnoses of level 3 ASD. Significant improvements were seen in their social interactions, communication skills, and behavioral patterns.   Both twins “improved dramatically,” with one going from a score of 76 to 36 in seven months, and the other from 43 to 4 over the same period.

The study notes that the improvements were so profound the pediatrician exclaimed that one of the girls had undergone “a kind of miracle.”

HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. Announces Thimerosal ban.

After more than 20 years of delay, I’m proud to finally deliver on a long-overdue promise: protecting our most vulnerable from unnecessary mercury exposure. ~ Robert F. Kennedy, Secretary HHS 

More and more experts are calling for a retraction of the terribly flawed Danish study supposedly proving aluminum in vaccines isn’t harmful or in anyway cause autism.  RFK calls the study a ‘deceitful propaganda stunt,’ and Steve Kirsch states an AI analysis cites 5 reasons for retraction:

  1. the ‘evolving’ supplement and data manipulation which now reports 5,200 neurodevelopmental events (autism, ADHD, etc.), up from the 2,239 events in the original version  Oops
  2. the short follow-up period which gives a systematic underestimation of risk
  3. institutional conflicts of interest and data suppression
  4. statistical obfuscation and suppression of supplementary data
  5. the erosion of public trust if left as is due to conflicts of interest, data manipulation, selective reporting, and institutional whitewashing

How Much Undiagnosed Lyme is Driving the Chronic Disease Epidemic of Our Time?

How much undiagnosed Lyme is driving the chronic disease epidemic of our time?

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
My son tested positive for Lyme Disease.
https://community.babycenter.com/post/a55368175/my_son_tested_positive_for_lyme_disease

Consider the following…..

“We will only treat those with a bullseye rash and/or a positive two-tier serological test. All else will filter into the healthcare system and if the spirochete is anything like syphilis left untreated it should turn into a moneymaker.”

I have heard through the Lyme community that only 15% of actual cases test positive; those with a robust immune response typically seen in the swollen knee presentation of the disease (Lyme arthritis). The 1994 Dearborn Conference established stringent testing setting the bar too high which was more likely to be positive with the swollen knee. They also removed the two most important markers (band 31 and 34. Outer surface proteins A and B)

Those markers needed to be removed for vaccine development of an OspA based vaccine because everyone who received those shots would test positive for Lyme disease.

The CDC estimates yearly cases of Lyme at 476,000

If 476,000 represents 15% of the actual cases, the other 3,173,333 filter down through the medical system to be treated for something else.

Interviewed Lyme patients in the documentary Under our Skin say the following:
 
-I was misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome
 
-I was misdiagnosed with MS
 
-I was misdiagnosed with Lupus
 
-I was misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia
 
-I was misdiagnosed with ALS

Study detects tick-borne illness in teens hospitalized for depression
https://www.lymedisease.org/hospitalized-teens-lyme-depression/

June 10, 2021

-Ten patients were diagnosed with DSM-5 Major Depressive Disorder, seven were additionally diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and three had made serious suicide attempts.

-Ten adolescents picked at random with mental illness severe enough that they required institutionalization—nine of them had evidence of tick-borne infections and nine had evidence of autoimmune encephalitis

What was it that the CDC learned from the Tuskegee experiment when senator Ted Kennedy exposed the crime?

What happens when Lyme is left untreated as the Tuskegee Airman were?

There are dozens of studies from two continents identifying borrelia in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients and one NIH study claiming they could not find the Lyme disease spirochete. A coauthor of that single study is Adriana Marques, gatekeeper of who receives funding for Lyme disease research at the NIH. Marques used serology to claim there was no evidence of an association between Lyme disease and autism.

How many grants has Marques awarded to research chronic Lyme disease?

There are 700 peer reviewed studies identifying persistent infection and 2 NIH studies (by the same researcher!) that claim they could not find the Lyme disease spirochete in those treated following the IDSA’s treatment guideline.

Currently There is a Lyme disease vaccine in stage III clinical trials.

Does a chronic relapsing seronegative disease fit the vaccine model?

How do you prove vaccine efficacy in the general population if we do not know who has or does not have the infection? (immune suppressive infection)

Pfizer is using culture, PCR, DNA sequencing and serology testing in the trial participants to gauge efficacy because serology is so unreliable yet it has been the only lab test offered to the public for the past 30yrs. Let that sink in!

The current serological test for Lyme disease cannot be used to gauge treatment failure or success which makes it the ideal tool for concealing chronic infection.

Advanced Laboratory Services developed a culture test claiming 80% positive results. The CDC’s Barbera Johnson effectively put them out of business claiming contamination issues.

If that is the case why didn’t the CDC work directly with Advanced Laboratory Services to perfect their direct detection culture method?

Milford Molecular Diagnostics was working directly with the CDC on proficiency testing of their DNA sequencing test for Lyme disease. When Dr Sin Lee published a case of chronic Lyme proven through DNA sequencing all communication with the CDC ended abruptly with no explanation. As a result, Dr. Lee filed a $57.1 million lawsuit against the CDC.  Proving chronic Lyme disease threatened the existing false public health narrative.

George Mason University’s urine antigen test was eliminated from the LymeX prize competition and voted out by Adriana Marques but in the same month received a $1,176,645 grant in federal funding from the U.S. Department of the Army “to revolutionize Lyme disease detection and diagnosis with urine testing.” Many of us believed that the urine antigen test offered the best hope for the detection of Lyme in all stages of disease. Was this technology eliminated because the test threatened the existing IDSA/CDC dogma as it could detect chronic Lyme (which must never be identified) as this would expose the truth? By the way, Galaxy validation data (unpublished) shows that their Nanotrap® Urine Test will often confirm active infection in patients with negative TTT (Two-Tiered Testing) serology results.

SUMMARY

Is it possible that a large portion of the chronic diseases of our time (with no known etiology) are in fact a result of Lyme disease left untreated and there has been a concerted effort into hiding/avoiding the truth to preserve that profitable revenue stream in treating these chronic diseases? Finding the correct treatment for Lyme in all stages of disease is not in the best interest of a pharmaceutical industrial complex hell-bent on treating (not curing) with a lifetime of expensive drugs.

Autism Guide

April is Autism Awareness Month

According to one Lyme literate doctor Lyme disease is present in over 65% of autism cases in her practice, and a case report showed substantial improvement in a child with autism after using treatment for vector-borne infections.

Another doctor has stated:

‘I Never Had a Single Unvaccinated Patient with Autism’ — Dr. Ben Tapper

Many are unaware that CDC scientist William Thompson admitted scientists purposely destroyed data that showed:

“The omitted data suggested that African-American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism.” ~ Dr. William Thompson

Please see: https://kirschsubstack.com/p/over-300-pages-of-evidence-from-the CDC show vaccines cause Autism.

A study has confirmed that ‘vaccines’ are likely responsible for nearly 80% of autism in the U.S. and the government has misled the public on thimerosal link to autism for decades, falsely claiming it’s been removed from ‘vaccines.’

Clarke et al from UCLA as summarized that ‘profound autism’ (those who require 24-hour support and assistance) a severe childhood neuropsychiatric disorder is rising at alarming rates:

New prevalence estimates from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found that over a quarter, 26.7%, of children with autism in the United States meet criteria for profound autism (26), suggesting that in the United States, a substantial minority of children with autism may be at increased risk of experiencing stigma due to the nature and intensity of their autism symptoms. Additional work is needed to further understand the prevalence of profound autism, particularly in clinical and community-based samples, so we can better understand what proportion of autistic individuals and their families may experience stigma related to profound autism. Such information is also critical to improving service planning for this population, as most profoundly autistic individuals cannot speak for themselves and are likely to need intensive support services for much or all their lives.

Agencies That Betrayed Public Trust: mRNA ‘Vaccines’ the Most Destructive & Lethal Medical Products in History

The Agencies That Betrayed Public Trust

New studies confirms that those of us who reported waning and negative efficacy were right.

James Lyons-Weiler
Feb 08, 2025

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the entire Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have demonstrated a shocking dereliction of duty in their handling of the COVID-19 vaccination program. These agencies set a clear standard: under the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), COVID-19 vaccines had to demonstrate at least 50% efficacy in preventing symptomatic infection to justify their use before full licensure.

That benchmark was not met. Not only did the vaccines fail to prevent infection, but their effectiveness against hospitalization and death declined rapidly. Instead of pausing, reassessing, or at the very least acknowledging their failure, these agencies doubled down, pushing new boosters with no new randomized controlled trials (RCTs), censoring dissenting scientists, and manipulating public perception to sustain a broken public health narrative.

A bombshell study published in Annals of Internal Medicine “Effectiveness of the 2023-to-2024 XBB.1.5 COVID-19 Vaccines Over Long-Term Follow-up: A Target Trial Emulation” (February 2025) has finally laid bare the truth. Over a six-month period, the real-world data from the Veterans Health Administration showed that the XBB.1.5 monovalent COVID-19 vaccine had a negative effectiveness rate of -3.26% against infection—meaning vaccinated individuals were more likely to get COVID-19 than their unvaccinated counterparts. Effectiveness against hospitalization was a mere 16.64%, and against death, only 26.61%. Worse yet, these numbers collapsed over time—by day 176 post-vaccination, protection against hospitalization and death had declined so much that any claimed benefit was effectively negligible.

The FDA’s own standard required vaccines to demonstrate at least 50% effectiveness, yet these numbers didn’t prompt any course correction. Instead, the agencies covered it up and moved the goalposts—first from stopping infection to preventing hospitalization, then from preventing hospitalization to merely reducing death, and finally to the vague and unmeasurable claim of “mitigating severe outcomes.”

This is not public health. This is scientific and medical malpractice.

**Comment**

Since ‘public health’ isn’t doing the science, there’s now a private $3.5 Million foundation grant for honest scientists to publish papers documenting the existence of ‘vaccines’ causing autism, which has already been confirmed by a top government expert.

If you can’t go with it, you must go around it.
Similarly to Lymeland, if you want any decent research you have to fund it and do it yourself.

Weiler also wrote,  How to Talk with People as They Wake Up from the CDC’s Mass Propaganda on Universal Vaccine Safety and the Very Definition of Science, in response to Leana Wen’s a WaPo Opinion piece on how to respond to loved ones ‘lured’ by RFK’s ‘anti-vaccine’ stance.

Excerpt from Weiler’s piece:

Instead of manipulating the public’s perception of risk, public health needs to earn trust—and that won’t happen until it stops minimizing vaccine injury and death instead of manipulating the public’s perception of risk.

Internal CDC emails, FOIA documents, and whistleblower testimony have exposed a disturbing truth: the CDC’s primary concern has not been minimizing vaccine injury and death—but rather manipulating the public’s perception of those risks.

The question isn’t whether vaccines have risks—the government’s own reporting systems confirm that they do. The real question is: why has the CDC spent decades hiding and dismissing these risks instead of acting to reduce them?

The CDC’s strategy: Control the Narrative, do not do science.

(See link for article)

Boom!  Truth bomb front and center.

This CDC strategy has ruled Lymeland for over 40 years.

Powerful presentation from Dr Christine Drivdahl-Smith before the Montana House Judiciary Committee on the bill to ban the use of MRNA “vaccinations.”

“Gene based vaccines, or MRNA vaccines are the most destructive and lethal medical products that have ever been used in medical history. I am asking you to support this bill banning gene based ‘vaccines’ so we can halt continued harm, disability and death of our citizens.” ~ Dr. Christine Drivdahl-Smith

Several other States including Florida, Washington, Idaho, Texas, and Iowa are expected to follow suit.

Scientists and doctors have been screaming about the dangers and that surges in deadly cancers in the vaxxed were caused by DNA fragments in the shots, not to mention they contain at least 55 undeclared chemical elements.  Now, a peer-reviewed study shuts down years of dismissals by revealing DNA levels exceeded safety limits by 6-470 times.  

The FDA is expected to comment on the findings this month.  (Don’t expect anything)

Despite repeated warnings that align with earlier reports from independent laboratories in the United States, Canada, Australia, Germany, and France, the agency has yet to issue an alert, recall the affected batches, or explain how they were allowed to reach the market in the first place.

Warning after warning after warning  after warning has gone unheeded.

The vast amount of death and maiming don’t seem to matter either.
