Symptoms after Lyme disease: What’s past is prologue
ADRIANA MARQUES
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.ado2103

“There have been five randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials addressing the question of whether additional antibiotic treatment benefits patients with PTLDS or symptoms attributed to Lyme disease.”

“The results of these trials showed that prolonged antibiotic treatment had no lasting benefit while having potential serious risks.”

Adriana Marques, M.D.
Lyme Disease Studies Unit
NIH Main Campus, Bethesda, MD

Dr. Marques,

For the record there are many infections requiring long-term antibiotics so why Klempner stopped his NIH funded antibiotic treatment trials for Lyme after “12 weeks” and then claimed no benefit makes absolutely no sense whatsoever:

From the following peer-reviewed publication:

Benefit of intravenous antibiotic therapy in patients referred for treatment of neurologic Lyme disease
https://www.dovepress.com/benefit-of-intravenous-antibiotic-therapy-in-patients-referred-for-tre-peer-reviewed-fulltext-article-IJGM

Infections requiring long-term antibiotics: [See chart in the publication above with 8 examples ranging from 6mo to 5yrs]

In 1991 the Lyme disease organism, Borrelia burgdorferi, was grown from the cerebrospinal fluid of Lyme patient Vicki Logan at the Centers for Disease Control in Fort Collins, Colorado despite prior treatment with intravenous antibiotics. The patient died when the insurer refused additional IV antibiotics. Here is a copy of Logan’s CDC positive culture report for your review.

(Vicki Logan’s Chronic Lyme Autopsy results Page #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

There are 700 peer-reviewed publications referencing persistent infection and in a 2018 study all patients were culture positive even after multiple years on antibiotics so there was no relief from current antimicrobials. Some of these patients had taken as many as eleven different types of antibiotics.

Thirty-four years ago Dr. Allen Steere identified chronic Lyme disease which should have set off a red flag prompting an immediate search for better antimicrobials but then did a 180° as he became principal investigator (PI) of the Phase 3 clinical trial for the first Lyme disease vaccine. So all the eggs were put into the vaccine basket while a campaign was orchestrated to discredit the sick and disabled patient population along with the courageous clinicians attempting to help these patients. Apparently, a chronic relapsing seronegative disease did not fit the business model of patent royalties, vaccine development and pharmaceutical profits.

Here is Dr. Steere’s 1990 publication summary for your review:

Dear Dr. Malo,

Thank you for responding to my email. Is my submitted eLetter in the process of being screened?

I would like to call attention to the following 1992 Science article that was listed directly below Dr. Marques’ published viewpoint:

Furor at Lyme Disease Conference: Patient-support groups got a dozen rejected papers reinstated at a Lyme disease meeting, angering researchers who had turned the work down as unscientific
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1604309

Excerpt:

To some authors of the controversial abstracts the grudging acceptance is too little too late, from a close-minded research community. “If [a finding] is not part of a controlled study, they ignore it,” says Long Island internist Burascano.

Dr. Malo,

Isn’t that exactly what I am questioning 32 years later? I am asking Marques why the peer-reviewed references I provided are missing from her published viewpoint:

My question to Marques:

“Is there a reason why these facts/references/lab reports are missing from your viewpoint published in Science Translational Medicine?”

It would appear that the act to suppress evidence of chronic Lyme disease spans three decades. How many lives have been destroyed resulting from inadequate treatment?

It is not uncommon for these corresponding authors to ignore serious inquires. One example is from my 2020 BMJ Letter to the Editor below. It should be noted that the corresponding author refused to respond to my inquiry after multiple requests from Editor-in-Chief Dr. Fiona Godlee.

Letter to the Editor of the BMJ published June 2020 
https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1041/rr-1

Dr. Malo…. Has your journal been used as a podium to broadcast the long-established dogma while omitting evidence of persistent infection after extensive antibiotic treatment?

Respectfully submitted,
Carl Tuttle

It’s Official: RKI Leak & New Data Shows There Was No Pandemic

PCR inventor, Kari Mullis warned about PCR testing again and again:

The president of Tanzania punked the WHO by sending samples of fruit, coats, sheep, and even motor oil for COVID testing.  Nearly half came back positive.  Both boldly outspoken men died and are ‘conveniently’ no longer here to expose the lies.

Using all-cause mortality which is not susceptible to bias, researcher Denis Rancourt warned us there was no pandemic back in July 2023 and even before that in June, 2020 with his first report: All-Cause Mortality During COVID-19: N Plague & A Likely Signature of Mass Homicide By Government Response.

A 2020 study showed that if a PCR threshold of 35 cycles or higher is used the probability that the person is infected is less than 3%. Testing for COVID was declared an ‘Unmitigated Disaster’ back in Nov. 2021 when Italy reduced its COVID death toll by 97% after lowering the purposely high cycle threshold to an appropriate level.

The government knew.

This presentation by Prof Dr Stefan Homburg is devastating.

You may recall his analysis of files deliberately released by Germany’s Robert Koch Institute in summer 2024? These were official & heavily redacted. Still, they revealed extensive political control of what the public (& the courts) were told were independent experts.  [Go here for the story]

Now, there’s been a substantial leak from inside RKI of internal correspondence which tears apart any semblance of reality surrounding the pretend pandemic.

It’s official. There was no pandemic. No public health emergency. The hospitals were emptier than usual.

The entire scandalous episode, lasting years, was manufactured by named politicians.

If you still think there’s been a new, fast spreading disease which shut down the world and necessitated rushed (fake, dangerous) injections, I don’t know what to say to you.

Please – share this widely. Numerous politicians in the German government are named as bad actors in this RKI-Leak and this extended to NATO members.

Our sole defense against tyranny is to shine the disinfectant of sunlight upon it.

It’s time for COVID accountability so this can never happen again

Nov 12, 2024

COVID-19 was arguably the worst public health disaster in history, and as more and more are now realizing, most of that could have been prevented if the medical industry had been less greedy throughout the pandemic and not put profits before people. Because of this, the unconditional trust the industry made enormous investments to create and has relied upon for decades has been shattered (e.g., a large JAMA study of 443,445 American adults found that in April 2020, 71.5% of them trusted doctors and hospitals while in January 2024, only 40.1% did)

Over the last month, I have received a large number of requests to highlight some of the egregious conduct by our healthcare authorities throughout the pandemic. At the time, it did not feel like the correct time to publish it, but now it does (e.g., something can be done about it).

In this article, I would like to focus on a few critical areas that need to exposed as we begin exploring the topic of COVID accountability—one of the key issues the Trump administration and the courts will have to address in the near future.

By Sarah Kaplan and Simon Ducroquet

September 19, 2024 at 2:01 p.m. EDT

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:

‘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.”

by Suzanne Burdick, Ph.D.

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.
