John Miller Was So Sick With Chronic Lyme Disease He Was Passing Out

In the following article and video, Dr. Julian Douwes of St. George Hospital states that Miller was ‘cured’ of Lyme disease. Please note what I wrote in the comment section:

“BS. I spoke with Douwes’ father at a convention on this very topic and he was at least honest enough to admit patients need follow up or ‘tune ups.’ This is not cured. There is no cure for Lyme/MSIDS – you maintain it like diabetes. I’m not stating the treatment doesn’t have merit and won’t help patients. I’m solely addressing the ‘cured’ issue. Further, 3 weeks is far too soon to be declaring anyone ‘cured.’ Since this is relapsing in nature due to pleomorphism (organism shape shifting to go dormant when threatened) it might take weeks, months, or even years to relapse with symptoms.

It’s important to note that under Jauregg’s treatment of syphilis with malaria, several patients died after being given a potent strain.”

John Miller was so sick with chronic Lyme disease he was passing out

Question Everything

John Miller was so sick with chronic Lyme disease he was passing out and could barely take part in life.

He flew to a clinic in Germany and after three weeks, he came home cured.

“We heat the body to 106.8 Fahrenheit,” says Dr. Julian Douwes of St. George Hospital. “It has been shown that the spirochetes, the bacteria behind Lyme disease, actually dies off at that temperature.”

Antibiotics can’t reach chronic Lyme. “It’s in the brain. It’s intracellular. They have a lot of immune evading mechanisms.”

The idea won a Nobel Prize in 1927. Syphilis comes from the same family of bacteria as Lyme, and back then there were no antibiotics. So Julius Wagner-Jauregg injected his syphilis patients with the blood of malaria patients. The fever spikes cured them. He had 18 patients. 16 came out of a wheelchair.

Meanwhile, chronic Lyme patients today are being “ignored and tossed away.”

“They actually have a positive lab test and people still tell them your symptoms are not valid, your symptoms do not exist, chronic Lyme doesn’t exist.”

The treatment isn’t available in the United States.

It’s also important to clarify that hyperthermia is NOT the only modality used at St. George’s. IV antibiotics are also used as well as detoxification protocols and physical therapy. It also says that with patients with ‘confirmed’ coinfections, they use photodynamic therapy and apheresis. It’s important to point out that it’s highly likely you must test positive on tests that are wrong upto 90% of the time. So – you won’t get treated for coinfections which are as bad if not worse than Lyme.

Actor Dennis Quaid Joins Secretary Kennedy to Discuss Lyme Disease

Kennedy and Quaid do not discuss treatments for Lyme. The title below is misleading. What they do discuss is that HHS is supposedly throwing a lot of money at research which up until now has done ZERO to help sick patients. I don’t expect this latest PR stunt to do much either. I pray I’m wrong. Go here for the reasons why.

Actor Dennis Quaid joins Secretary Kennedy to discuss treatments for Lyme disease

by CHARLOTTE HAZARD | The National News Desk Mon, August 17, 2026

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and actor Dennis Quaid teamed up Monday to make an announcement about furthering research about Lyme disease.

“At HHS, we are taking bold new actions against Lyme disease, alpha-gal syndrome, and other tick-borne diseases—accelerating research, improving care, and driving new treatments,” Kennedy wrote on the social media platform, X. “Millions of Americans need faster diagnoses, better care, and real answers.”

In a video attached to the post, Quaid said that his friend, the late Kris Kristofferson spent years living with Alzheimer’s.

“But Alzheimer’s wasn’t the problem,” Quaid said. “He actually had Lyme disease and when the doctors finally diagnosed him correctly in 2016 and started the right treatment, his symptoms did improve.”

Kennedy said that HHS is investing millions of dollars in innovation to develop AI-powered tools to help improve patient care. (See link for article and videos)

**Comment**

This would be a tad more believable if it didn’t include a Hollywood actor, but here we are.

I don’t trust AI powered tools as far as I can throw them. Throwing millions of dollars into research won’t do a thing either as long as that research continues to skirt truth of persistent/relapsing infection, pleomorphism (shape shifting organism), and polymicrobialism (the involvement of other organisms).

The physician locator on the HHS website takes you directly to the ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Syndrome) website. Further, when I typed in Wisconsin, a bunch of doctors popped up I do not know at all, which is not a good sign. They might have taken a ‘fundamentals’ course but that does not make them experienced in treating this beast.

Further, this is a pretty tough thing to treat via telemedicine, which many of the doctors on the list offer.

Another Take on Dapsone Protocols: Dr. Marty Ross

Dapsone for Lyme Persisters. A Miracle Antibiotic?

https://treatlyme.com/guide/dapsone-lyme-persisters/

Updated: July 31, 2026

Horowitz Dapsone Protocols: Risks vs Benefits Explained

About Dapsone & Persisters

Dapsone, a Leprosy drug, can help some with treatment-resistant Lyme and Bartonella due to persisters plus treatment resistant Babesia. In 2016, Richard Horowitz, MD, and Phyllis Freeman, PhD, published research on 100 patients. The study showed 59 percent of people had improvements with dapsone of 100 mg or less.

More recently, Dr. Horowitz has continued refining a higher-dose approach, publishing a more detailed double-dose/high-dose protocol in 2023.

However, my experience with dapsone is mixed. While it helps some, it is also a very difficult medicine for many to take.

In this article, I review:

  • my experience with this novel medicine,
  • a specific antibiotic protocol that includes dapsone as a normal-dose regimen,
  • how to decrease side effects and Herxheimer reactions on dapsone,
  • the risks of using dapsone,
  • the chances for treatment success using a dapsone regimen, and
  • a detailed look at, and critique of, Dr. Horowitz’s newer double-dose/high-dose protocol and why I don’t support it.

**Comment**

I always appreciate doctors who share their clinical experience. It’s sometimes the only way we can gather intel on whether or not we should try a certain treatment. Case in point – I wrote about my severe psychosis after taking disulfiram, followed by another practitioner’s experiences in ameliorating symptoms as well as an update on a few points of consideration.

So, while Dapsone may be a perfect fit for some, it may not for others.

This is another point that never makes the news. Reactions to treatment varies widely in Lymeland, probably because some have been infected for years and their bodies are simply overwhelmed, making another drug appear to be a toxin by the body.

Dr. Ross points out the following issues:

  • You shouldn’t take Dapsone if your G6PD levels are low.
  • Dapsone blocks folate metabolism which can lead to anemia
  • Dapsone suppressed bone marrow which can also lead to anemia
  • Dapsone is a harsh drug that causes severe herxes, allergic rash, methemoglobinemia, and many side effects

The article contains Horowitz’s 2016 Dapsone regimen. Ross states he does not recommend the Dought or high dose Dapsone protocol and doesn’t offer it in his practice. He also points out that Horowitz’s 2023 paper which offered HDDCT to 50 patients, but only 25 are considered in the results leaving one to ask how many dropped out due to side effects. Further, Horowitz is the treating physician, the sole study author, and one of three others from his practice who performed the validation and analysis. There was no control group, no blinding, no independent review, and no oversight.

Ross does feel; however, that some sho failed other treatments could consider the normal-dose dapsone 100mg protocol if carefully monitored.

Bella Hadid, ‘Nothing Helping’ Chronic Lyme Flare

Bella Hadid says ‘nothing helping’ in emotional update amid chronic illness flare-up

Model shared a series of Instagram Stories detailing her current condition

Caitlin Hornik in New YorkFriday 26 June 2026

Bella Hadid has opened up about the challenges she’s facing as she deals with a chronic illness flare-up.

In a series of Instagram Stories shared Thursday and Friday, the 29-year-old detailed her current condition, likely related to her Lyme disease diagnosis. She was first diagnosed with the condition, along with her mother, Yolanda, and her brother, Anwar, in 2012. Other celebrities who suffer from the illness include Miranda Hart, Shania Twain and Justin Bieber.

Hadid said it was “intimidating” to explain her symptoms, which include brain fog, fatigue, pain, anxiety, infections, and more.

“You demand answers that no one can find. You fight. You finally have a few good days. You think you’ve found the right protocol, the right routine, the right treatment… and then a flare up comes back and all of a sudden nothing feels certain again,” the American model, who is of Dutch and Palestinian descent, wrote.

“Haven’t been able to shake off this flare up,” Hadid wrote in another Story, accompanied by a teary-eyed selfie. “Slept 11 hours. Again … Nap everyday. Took every protocol from any and every doctor I’ve seen. Still nothing helping. (See link for article)

Bella Hadid health updates have taken a serious turn as she battles a brutal Lyme disease flare up, revealing her hardest fight yet. This video examines the latest news surrounding Bella Hadid and the reality of her ongoing health challenges. Despite the designer outfits and high-profile campaigns, this update offers a candid look at the physical toll her condition is taking behind the scenes. We break down exactly what she shared about her current state and why this specific Lyme disease update is being described as her most difficult period to date.

**Comment**

Sadly, this is the reality of Lyme/MSIDS.

It’s also proof that no matter your station in life, this monster can cripple you.

I do wish; however, that these news stories would take on the coinfection issue, that testing is abysmal, that it quite probably was tweaked in a lab to be more virulent and harder to find, that it remains extremely controversial, as well as the fact every case is different. We need to move past the shock and awe factor of someone being extremely ill to meaningful, helpful information, but the majority of journalists are beholden to their bosses whom are beholden to Big Pharma whom buy up ad spaces – shaping the narrative.

Go here for a a few well done pieces by Wisconsin Watch on the complexities of Lyme/MSIDS:

Alpha-Gal, The Tick Was Always a Needle

Alpha-Gal, Part II: The Tick Was Always a Needle

The one question I left standing in Part I — if it was the shots, why the tick at all? The scientific literature answers it in one word. Three questions that collapse the tick story from the inside.

Russell Schierling

Jul 10, 2026

For my children and grandchildren…

In Part I, I built a fence. On one side, I put everything solid — Richet’s Nobel Prize, the route problem, the Japanese gelatin admission, the billing codes, and my own Amish patient base, covered in ticks, completely unvaccinated, and, at least as far as I can ascertain, free of alpha-gal — with a single imported exception I’ll come back to shortly. On the other side, I put my suspicions about a declassed clandestine program, telling you where the record stopped, and my hunches began.

Today, there will be no discussion of Fort Detrick, Plum Island, or other biolabs / bioweapon labs. There’s no need for that when answering a question that several readers asked via the comment section. Before I had finished my morning coffee…

If it’s really the shots that cause alpha-gal, then why is the tick needed at all?

I’m going to answer this by asking and answering three very specific questions from the tick research community’s own filing cabinet — CDC-funded papers and the industry-disclosed authors. From the scientists who are certain the Lone Star tick is the primary cause.

I’m going to let people far smarter than me answer these questions using their own studies…

Question One: Why Is a Tick Needed At All?

But the condition has no historical precedent. It appears in the literature at a specific moment in the late 1980s, in multiple countries simultaneously, at a time when gelatin-containing vaccines were being introduced into childhood immunization schedules worldwide. Japanese researchers documented, confirmed through intervention, and published the direct causal relationship between gelatin-containing DTaP vaccines and alpha-gal sensitization in children who had never been exposed to ticks. That evidence is in the peer-reviewed record. It has been there since 1996. -From Dr Travis Johnson’s June 2 piece in Medium (The Allergy That Shouldn’t Exist: Vaccines, Gelatin, and the Strange Origins of Alpha-Gal Syndrome)

To answer question one, it isn’t — at least not as the origin. Vaccines alone can do it — the tick isn’t required for the mechanism. But historically, before the schedule ballooned, cases clustered in tick country. And the scientific literature already told you why.

Go pull the 2021 paper from Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology that tick researchers themselves titled “Tick Saliva and the Alpha-Gal Syndrome: Finding a Needle in a Haystack”. Read that title again. A needle in a haystack. They picked the metaphor, but pointed it at the park instead of at the vial.

Let’s watch what the tick actually does and why the needle in the haystack might be apropos, but maybe not in the way the authors intended…

Another 2021 study, this one on a tick enzyme, describes the alpha-gal sugar as being — their word, not mine — “injected into humans from the lone-star tick bite”. Injected. Not eaten. Not digested. Injected — straight through the skin, past the gut and its digestive processes, and into areas where food is not supposed to be. And as I stated in Part I, this is extremely similar to the phenomenon I have referred to for over two decades as “The Leakies”. Example: (Systemic Leaky Barrier Syndrome (SLBS): A Systems-Level Framework for Chronic Disease).

Earlier studies localized the sugar to the secretory vesicles of the tick’s salivary glands — meaning it’s built to be squirted into a bite. In other words, it’s not wrong to think of ticks as syringes with eight legs — light enough to cross your skin without tripping pressure receptors, and armed with saliva loaded with painkillers, anti-inflammatories, and anticoagulants that let them latch and drink for days without ever setting off the itch that would make you look down and flick them off.

What these devilish little creatures are loading into you is galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose — alpha-gal for short; the “ose” tells you it’s a sugar, like glucose or sucrose — a bit of mammalian sweetness squirted straight under your skin. And here’s the kicker nobody thus far has answered…

When it comes to the animals the tick commonly feeds on — deer, cattle, dogs, rodents, goats, hogs, etc — alpha-gal is “endogenous”. In other words, they build it, they carry it, and their immune systems recognize it as native (“self”) so that it’s not attacked as an invader. So the best answer for why it’s in the saliva at all isn’t that it works some mechanical trick like the anticoagulants and painkillers do — it’s camouflage. Dress your spit in the host’s own sugar, and it reads as ‘self,’ letting the tick guzzle until 100X normal size, all under the immune radar. Which means the sugar is doing exactly its job on a deer.

**Comment**

Probably the most comprehensive article on the subject and is deserving of your time. I also highly recommend Part 1: Alpha-Gal: Why it Might Be the Shots, Not Just the Ticks. The Amish as a community due to defying government dictates, flourished during COVID as well.

The most important take-away is the fact that the Ozarks are full of deer, lone star ticks, and ‘vaccinated’ people, with the exception of the unvaccinated Amish whom are smack dab in the middle of the same area and free of AGS.

“Geography is an alibi the ‘forced vaccination community’ at large is hiding behind because ticks and the heavily vaccinated live side by side in so much of the country.” ~ Dr. Shierling

The good doctor also states he’s only come into ONE Amish person who got AGS, but that she grew up in Minnesota and received some vaccines as an infant…..

Another important take-away is that the younger the child and the larger the ‘vaccine’ dose(s), the more likely they are to develop sensitivity rather than tolerance. The Journal of the American Dental Association now quietly lists topical numbing gels, Gelfoam, prophy paste, catgut, bone graft materials — while noting manufacturers aren’t required to disclose animal-derived ingredients, as containing alpha-gal bearing excipients. This website has also posted the fact that graphene oxide was found in all three dental anesthetics tested.
