Entire Climate Narrative Shown As a Sham By Science Magazine, AAAS, and WaPo

UPDATE:  A groundbreaking study from the University of Nebraska reveals that cows are actually carbon negative and that they produce MORE oxygen than the methane and carbon they emit.  The pastures where they graze can capture more emissions than what the cattle produce & also offset methane.]

Entire climate narrative shown up as a sham by Science Mag (AAAS–the biggest scientist organization in the US) and the WaPo. How long till everyone finds out?

They did a great job burying this HUGE story. Turns out we are in a several million year cold spell and nothing bad will happen if we get a bit warmer. Go to the WaPo article to see all the graphics

An ambitious effort to understand the Earth’s climate over the past 485 million years has revealed a history of wild shifts and far hotter temperatures than scientists previously realized — offering a reminder of how much change the planet has already endured and a warning about the unprecedented rate of warming caused by humans.

The timeline, published Thursday in the journal Science, is the most rigorous reconstruction of Earth’s past temperatures ever produced, the authors say. Created by combining more than 150,000 pieces of fossil evidence with state-of-the-art climate models, it shows the intimate link between carbon dioxide and global temperatures and reveals that the world was in a much warmer state for most of the history of complex animal life.

At its hottest, the study suggests, the Earth’s average temperature reached 96.8 degrees Fahrenheit (36 degrees Celsius) — far higher than the historic 58.96 F (14.98C) the planet hit last year.  (See link for article)

Compared with graphs based solely on climate models, which tend to depict smaller and slower swings in temperatures, the new timeline is full of sudden spikes and abrupt shifts.

Ivermectin & Doxycycline For Lyme Disease

LYME DISEASE CURE: Ivermectin & Doxycycline Combination Therapy – Testimonials & Research

This article is too long for email and must be opened in a browser.

2nd Smartest Guy in the World
Nov 12, 2024

This first account is courtesy of a molecular biologist’s journey in treating their Lyme Disease:


Introduction

Lyme disease, primarily caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, has been the subject of much research and debate. Commonly transmitted through the bite of an infected black-legged tick, Lyme Disease can present a complex array of symptoms.

While most focus on the bacterial aspect of the disease, there are also protozoan co-infections, such as Babesiosis caused by Babesia parasites, to consider. Here’s how a personal experience led to some thought-provoking insights into treating Lyme Disease and associated co-infections.

Disclaimer: I am not a healthcare provider. The following narrative reflects personal experience and should not be considered as medical advice. Always consult qualified healthcare professionals for diagnosis and treatment.

The Challenge of Diagnosis and Treatment

After experiencing severe arthritic pain that we initially attributed to ‘long Covid,’ my wife observed a classic ‘bullseye’ rash indicative of a tick bite. With some medical school training, she immediately suspected Lyme Disease. As a molecular biologist, I was aware that Lyme Disease can be accompanied by protozoan co-infections like Babesiosis.

However, the majority of research focuses on the bacterial aspect, with Doxycycline often being the mainstay treatment [1].

Anecdotal Evidence and Off-Label Treatments

During our quest to manage the debilitating symptoms, we came across an anecdotal case that reported benefits from combining Doxycycline and Ivermectin [2]. While Ivermectin is primarily indicated for parasitic infections [3], we questioned whether it could have a role in treating protozoan co-infections like Babesiosis. We consulted specialists who, although hesitant, acknowledged the potential of this combo.

An Unexpected Turnaround

After a week on this unconventional regimen, my wife’s symptoms were entirely alleviated. While this is a single case and should not be generalized, it adds to a growing list of anecdotal evidence supporting a multifaceted approach to treating Lyme Disease.

The State of Lyme Disease Treatment Today

Currently, Ivermectin as part of a combination treatment for Lyme Disease is becoming more widely accepted, although this still remains an area of active research and debate [4].

Conclusion and Caution

Our experience highlights the need for more research into comprehensive treatment options for Lyme Disease, particularly for those with co-infections. While anecdotal evidence can provide valuable insights, clinical trials are necessary to establish efficacy and safety.

Always consult qualified healthcare providers for the most current and personalized medical advice. Self-prescribing medications, even if they seem to have worked in the past, can carry risks.

SUMMARY & Comments:

The article then goes on to give another entry by a patient-turned-Lyme Disease researcher who improved on an ivermectin and Alinia combination after five years of using other antibiotics including Ciprofloxacin and Bactrim.  This treatment took away their muscle, arthritis, and heart pain, light and sound sensitivity.  It’s important to always dig into what a patient has used over time because they tend to only credit the last thing they took.  This would be a mistake as typically numerous drugs are required over time for a majority of patients.  To my knowledge there is NO magic bullet to this complex illness.  If there was, I’d be the first to tell you, believe me!  Most patients are coinfected with multiple pathogens all requiring fairly specific treatment.

Treatment nuances are given in the article – particularly the need to use anti-parasitics for the long-haul once a week or every two weeks to address all stages of the life cycle.  Ivermectin has a long half life so taking it too often will create too high of a toxic dose, (although doses vary widely for COVID on the FLCCC website) but even for COVID it is typically higher doses but only for 5 days.  

I would also like to remind the reader that in 2016 Dr. Alan MacDonald found three strains of borrelia living in parasitic nematode worms, worm eggs, or larvae in the brain tissue of 19 autopsies.

MacDonald states that both worms and borrelia can cause devastating brain damage and that:

“while patients are wrongly declared free of Lyme and other tick-borne infections, in reality, too often they contract serious neurodegenerative diseases which can kill them.”

MacDonald made his discovery from 10 specimens from the Rocky Mountain Multiple Sclerosis Center Tissue Bank.  All 10 showed evidence of borrelia infected nematodes.  Five patients who died of Glioblastoma multiforme, a malignant brain tumor, and four patients who died of Lewy Body dementia also showed infected nematodes.

MacDonald used FISH, Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization, which uses molecular beacon DNA probes to identify pieces of borrelia’s genetic material which fluoresce under the microscope with a 100% DNA match.

In other words, this is no mistake.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZnY871HZhM&feature=youtu.be  YouTube of MacDonald explaining the results

Lyme discoverer, Willy Burgdorfer, wrote of finding nematodes in tick guts way back in 1984 and in 2014 University of New Haven researcher, Eva Sapi, found 22% of nymphs and 30% of adult Ixodes ticks carried nematodes.  

Knowing this information makes it obvious why treating patients for worms is prudent.

It’s also important to note; however, that caution must always be used with Lyme/MSIDS patients due to potentially severe herxheimer reactions.  Similarly to how dogs treated for heart worm (D. immitis) have trouble due to the heart worm medication causing Wolbachia to be released into the blood and tissues causing severe Inflammation in pulmonary artery endothelium which may form thrombi and interstitial inflammation, it is not a stretch at all to compare this deleterious reaction to a Lyme/MSIDS patient treated for worms who has borrelia hiding in worms, eggs, and larvae.  When the worms are killed, borrelia will be released into the body causing sudden widespread inflammation.  This is why treatment should most probably include things that kill and disable borrelia as well.  The patient should be closely monitored and treatment put on hold or at least have dosages lowered if severe reactions occur.  This will be particularly true of patients with central nervous system involvement (which is most of us) due to severe inflammation of the brain, particularly the meninges which can wreak all sorts of havoc including chiari.

Lastly, the author proposes doxycyline.

While doxycycline is a standard front-line drug for Lyme/MSIDS, as it addresses many infections, it also is not a perfect drug in that it does not address the non-cell wall form of borrelia or biofilm.  Further, Eva Sapi’s research showed that while doxycycline reduced spirochetal structures ~90%, it increased the number of round body forms (cysts) about twofold. Tigecycline and tinidazole treatment, on the other hand, reduced both spirochetal and round body forms by ~80%–90%.  In terms of qualitative effects, only tinidazole reduced viable organisms by ~90%. Following treatment with the other antibiotics, viable organisms were detected in 70%–85% of the biofilm-like colonies.

Persistence of viable organisms in round body forms and biofilm-like colonies may explain treatment failure and persistent symptoms following antibiotic therapy of Lyme disease.

Similarly to needing to address worms at each life cycle, ALL forms of borrelia must be addressed for treatment success.

This almost always equates to long-term treatment.

New Study: Immediate Global Moratorium on COVID Shots – Citizens Take Action, Attack of the Replicons Has Begun – Against Our Pets

BREAKING – New Peer-Reviewed Study Calls for Immediate Global Moratorium on COVID-19 ‘Vaccines’

Study reveals alarming breach in safety signal threshold for cerebral thrombosis amid mounting calls for market withdrawal.

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
Nov 06, 2024

With the election behind us and immense government public health reform on the horizon, the study by Rogers et al, titled COVID-19 Vaccines: A Risk Factor for Cerebral Thrombotic Syndromes, was just published after successful peer-review in the International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science.

They found that brain clots (cerebral thromboembolism adverse events) are 112,000% more likely to occur after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine than after receiving an influenza vaccine. When comparing COVID-19 vaccines to all other vaccines combined, the likelihood is 20,700% higher. After COVID-19 vaccination, there were 5,137 reported cases of cerebral thromboembolism in just 3 years (36 months). For influenza vaccines over the past 34 years (408 months), there were only 52 reported cases.

Accordingly, the authors concluded:

There is an alarming breach in the safety signal threshold concerning cerebral thrombosis adverse events after COVID-19 vaccines compared to that of the influenza vaccines and even when compared to that of all other vaccines. An immediate global moratorium on the use of COVID-19 vaccines is necessary with an absolute contraindication in women of reproductive age.

Their call for a global moratorium echoes the comprehensive study by Mead et al and many others:

Attack of the Replicons

The Biopharmaceutical Complex’s self-amplifying mRNA assault has already begun.

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
Nov 07, 2024

The Biopharmaceutical Complex is preparing for the large-scale deployment of replicon (self-amplifying) mRNA injections. There are currently at least 33 candidates in development.

These products behave like a synthetic virus. The replicon mRNA is designed to encode not only the target antigen but also viral replicase, enabling the mRNA to replicate itself within the target cells. This replication machinery allows for an unknown period of toxic antigen production. Concerningly, none of the clinical trials have addressed the major concern of product shedding.

The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) are the primary funders behind this technology to combat ‘Disease X’. This is an extremely high risk ‘vaccine’ platform that should be avoided at all costs. Cellular installation of synthetic replicons requires decades of intense safety testing.

The very first replicon injection for human use received emergency use authorization (EUA) from The Office of the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) back in June 2022: Gennova Biopharmaceuticals’  GEMCOVAC-19. This was followed by reckless EUA approval in June 2023 for GEMCOVAC-OM, a replicon booster shot that targets the Omicron strain.

In November 2023, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) fully approved CSL and Arcturus Therapeutics’ replicon shot: KOSTAIVE ARCT-154. Dismissing all concerns, Japan’s MHLW approved the updated booster shot in September 2024 to target the JN.1 lineage of Omicron subvariants.

In the clinical trials for ARCT-154, 5 deaths occurred among the injected in study phase 3b. Injected participants experienced a 90% adverse event rate (74.5% systemic – 15.2% required medical attention) after the first dose in study phases 1, 2, and 3a combined. Many of the authors are full time employees of Arcturus Therapeutics, meaning their conclusions are likely biased.

Meanwhile, the USDA quietly approved an experimental self-amplifying RNA injection for dogs developed by Merck in June 2024: Nobivac NXT Canine Flu H3N2. It appears that Merck is attempting to camouflage the fact that this product is self-amplifying. The primary product description only indicates that it uses “revolutionary RNA particle technology.” However, the novel platform works by RNA particles targeting dendritic cells, where they self-replicate and result in sustained antigen production.

The possibility of product shedding from dogs to humans or other animals was never tested. This injection is currently widely available for online purchase and canine administration. While the Biopharmaceutical Complex struggles to get self-amplifying mRNA injections approved for humans, they seem to have no problem targeting our pets.

Deployment of this experimental platform has continued in September 2024 to target cats: Nobivac NXT FeLV. Nowhere in the product brochure does it mention the RNA self-amplification mechanism of action. They hope that unsuspecting vets won’t think twice about accepting the ‘new and improved’ product. The so-called ‘safety’ data for this product is as follows:

“Demonstrated safety under field conditions” from “Data on file. Merck Animal Health.”

In other words, no public safety data is provided. It’s become abundantly clear that the pharmaceutical industry and captured regulatory agencies have zero regard for the massive safety concerns of undefined synthetic mRNA replication resulting in uncontrolled toxic antigen production. These experimental injections must not receive further regulatory approval for humans or animals if we are to prevent another public health disaster. All self-amplifying mRNA injections currently available for humans and animals should be immediately withdrawn until comprehensive, long-term safety studies are conducted.  (See link for article)

‘This Is a Winnable Battle’: Experts Explain How Citizens Can Work With Local Health Authorities to Get COVID Vaccines Removed

Local public health agencies don’t have to blindly follow federal agencies on COVID-19 vaccinations or public health and safety issues, Dr. John Tribble told The Defender. “They have the power and moral obligation to protect and educate their constituents.”

covid vaccine and word "remove" on keyboard

Removing COVID-19 vaccines from public health departments across the U.S. is a “winnable battle” — but the battle won’t likely be won “from the top down,” according to Dr. John Tribble, a physician and board member of Idaho’s Southwest District Health.

Last month Tribble and his fellow board members made history when they voted 4-3 to pull COVID-19 shots from 30 healthcare sites.

The local health agency — which oversees six counties in southwest Idaho — became the first local health department in the U.S. to remove the shots from its taxpayer-funded clinics.

Other health districts in Idaho and beyond are now considering similar moves, Tribble told The Defender.

“There are two health districts in Idaho that I know of that are definitely considering it and one in Washington state,” he said. “My hope is they will be successful and continue the momentum we currently have.”

Tribble added:

“Local public health agencies aren’t obligated to blindly follow federal agencies when it comes to COVID-19 vaccinations or other issues of public health and safety. They have the power and moral obligation to protect and educate their constituents.”

In other words, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends COVID-19 vaccines  and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves them — but that doesn’t mean local health departments have to promote the shots. Tribble said:

“So much of what was inflicted upon us during COVID-19 — the COVID-19 vaccines, the mask mandates, the business, school and church closures — would have been prevented with local health departments that prioritized personal freedom and critical thinking over blind trust in federal health agencies.

“We need individual citizens willing to take accountability for their own local health officers and health boards.”

**Comment**

Idaho’s vote to remove COVID-19 shots came right after the board heard presentations from several doctors who were informed about COVID-19 safety and efficacy concerns.  Individual citizens need to ask their local officials if they’d be willing to hear such presentations and then arrange for presenters to share evidence.  Constituents in Idaho’s Southwest District Health sent 300 public comments to board members — before their vote — urging them to stop promoting the shots.

Babesia Rates Surge 9% in U.S. & 42% of Patients Are Coin-Infected

https://www.lymedisease.org/babesiosis-rates-surge-in-us/

Babesiosis rates surge by 9% annually in US; 42% of patients are co-infected

Penn State College of Medicine News

Oct. 8, 2024

Rates of babesiosis, a tick-borne parasitic disease, increased an average of 9% per year in the United States between 2015 and 2022.  And four in 10 patients were found to be co-infected with another tick-borne illness such as Lyme disease.

These were findings of a new study led by researchers at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Penn State College of Medicine.

“These findings suggest that clinicians should have a heightened vigilance of co-infection of other tick-borne illness among patients admitted with babesiosis,” said Paddy Ssentongo, infectious disease fellow, Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and lead author of the study.

“Ticks can carry other bacteria that cause Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases like anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis.”

They have published their findings in the journal Open Forum Infectious Diseases.

Babesiosis, sometimes referred to as “American malaria,” is caused by the Babesia parasite and is transmitted from bites of black-legged ticks. It’s found primarily in northeastern and midwestern states.

Similar to malaria

Like malaria, the parasite infects red blood cells, and the condition shares many similar clinical symptoms. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), although some people do not develop symptoms, others experience flu-like symptoms. The disease can be deadly for older adults and those with certain health conditions, such as a weakened immune system or lack of spleen.

“Understanding the drivers, dynamics and control of endemic and emerging vector-borne diseases is critical for global health interventions,” Ssentongo said.

The prevalence of babesiosis has been rising, according to the CDC. Ssentongo explained that climate change may play a role. Changing factors like temperature, humidity, rainfall and length of season have influenced the population and distribution of vectors like ticks as well as the population of animals that serve as reservoir hosts, like deer. As a result, ticks may be present in a wider geographical area.

The team set out to assess the current prevalence of babesiosis and Babesia co-infections as well as the effect of Babesia co-infection on mortality risk.

Using the TriNetX, a large, national database of clinical patient data from over 250 million individuals, they identified 3,521 individuals who were infected with babesiosis between October 2015 and December 2022.

Co-infections: Lyme, ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis

The researchers found that the incidence of babesiosis increased an average of 9% per year. The majority of cases peaked during the summer months and were reported in northeastern states. Of those diagnosed with babesiosis, 42% were infected with one or more additional tick-borne diseases. That is a higher rate than what’s been found in previous studies.

The greatest percentage of those patients, 41%, were co-infected with the bacterium responsible for Lyme disease. A smaller portion of patients were co-infected with bacteria that cause ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis, 3.7% and 0.3%, respectively.

When the team examined if co-infection amplified the risk of complications or led to worse outcomes, they found that there were no significant differences between the babesiosis-only group and the co-infection group. However, when they looked at mortality risk, they found that the risk of death was higher among the babesiosis-only group.

“Having both babesiosis and Lyme disease seemed not to be associated with worse mortality,” Ssentongo said, noting the finding was surprising. “It’s speculated that the concurrent presence of other tick-borne infections in the blood could alter the immune response by possibly ‘boosting’ it to effectively fight infections.”

The role of doxycycline

The difference in outcomes may also have to do with how other tick-borne illnesses are treated, Ssentongo said. In their study, the team found that the co-infection group was more likely to be prescribed doxycycline, the first line antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease, anaplasmosis and ehrlichiosis, compared to the babesiosis-only group. Ssentongo said that it raises a compelling question: Is doxycycline also effective in treating the Babesia parasite?

Currently, the treatment of babesiosis depends on disease severity. Treatment typically includes a combination of the antibiotics azithromycin and atovaquone. Red blood cell exchange, where abnormal red blood cells are removed and replaced by healthy ones, can also be considered for severely ill patients such as those with serious organ dysfunction. However, the survival benefit of red blood cell exchange hasn’t been studied extensively.

“For patients with babesiosis, we add on doxycycline as we’re investigating whether or not the patient has Lyme disease or other tick-borne diseases. We’ve seen better outcomes at our medical center with this approach,” Ssentongo said.

He said that there are other case reports where babesiosis has been successfully treated with doxycycline. However, more research is needed to understand the physiological pathways that underlie co-infection and how that might influence treatment protocols.

The most effective treatment approach is preventing tick-borne diseases in the first place, according to Ssentongo.

“If you live in areas where babesiosis is endemic, mostly states in the Northeast and the Midwest, take precautions, especially during the summer months,” Ssentongo said. “Practice tick-bite prevention practices. Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants and light-colored clothes. Use tick repellent and check for ticks after spending time outdoors.”

Morgellons and Treatment: Insights from Marty Ross, MD

About Morgellons Image

What’s Behind Morgellons

What’s happening: Morgellons, a condition marked by painful skin lesions and systemic symptoms, often faces skepticism. Dr. Marty Ross, a Lyme disease specialist, delves into the complexities of Morgellons, its symptoms, and potential treatment strategies.

Why it matters: Those affected by Morgellons struggle with symptoms that extend beyond the skin, often feeling dismissed by mainstream medical communities as having psychosomatic disorders. However, Dr. Ross uncovers critical links between Morgellons and Lyme disease plus tick-borne infections like Bartonella and Babesia.

Reality check: The hallmark of Morgellons is the formation of sores and ulcers that can itch, burn, and produce black and other colored filaments—concentrated keratin fibers, not parasites. Laboratory studies confirm, the lesions and fibers are not caused by parasitic infections. Complicated further by co-infections like Bartonella and Babesia, over 90% of Dr. Ross’s patients with Morgellons also have Lyme disease or other underlying tick-borne infections which are the cause. In Marty Ross, MD’s opinion, Morgellons is a skin manifestation of Lyme and other tick-borne infecions.

The big picture: Connecting Morgellons to Lyme disease guides treatment strategies. By recognizing Lyme and tick-borne infections as the cause, Dr. Ross and other experts like Ginger Savely, DNP, aim to treat with a focus on managing these infections.

Go deeper with the Ross Lyme & Tick-borne Diseases Protocol:

Follow the Ross Lyme & Tick-borne Disease Protocol to recover from Morgellons.

  • Immune Support: Utilizes probiotics, curcumin, ashwagandha, and multivitamins for enhanced recovery.
  • Detoxification: Emphasizes toxin removal to alleviate symptoms.
  • Infection Management: Balances herbal and prescription antibiotics to tackle infections.

Zoom out with lifestyle: A plant-based, anti-inflammatory diet facilitates healing, with probiotics supporting gut health during antibiotic treatment. Prioritizing sleep, exercise, and stress management is pivotal for comprehensive recovery.

The bottom line: The Ross Protocol blends medical treatment with lifestyle changes, offering hope and effective recovery strategies for individuals with Morgellons and related conditions.
