MEDICAL DETECTIVE #4: How to survive in a tick-filled world

This article was originally posted on Dr. Richard Horowitz’s Medical Detective Substack. You can find more helpful content by subscribing here. 

If I were to conjure up a global menace in a teeny-tiny package, I wouldn’t have to look far for inspiration. It’s already there, crawling down the legs of a deer or a dog and up the stalk of grasses or shrubs or plants in your garden, all primed and ready to latch on to your tender skin and take a nice big chomp!

It’s a tick-filled world and we’re stuck living in it.

And you know what’s making it worse? Climate change. The warmer the weather, the easier it is for ticks to breed. Increases in global temperatures increase the reproductive rates of insects, so we are seeing an explosion of not only pathogen-filled ticks, but also mosquitos that are potentially transmitting West Nile, Zika virus, Chikungunya, Dengue, other viruses and even malaria in the US.

The same pest-pocalypse is happening to other biting insects like fleas, mites, lice, etc. that can transmit a broad range of organisms, including Bartonella (more about this in future articles).

So remember, these insects, including ticks, may contain multiple bacteria, viruses, and parasites, and getting one bite can lead to more than one disease.

In fact, in my 40+ year experience treating chronically ill individuals, co-infections with multiple bacteria, viruses, and parasites are the rule, not the exception. And people usually end up getting multiple bites from ticks over their lifetime because these unbelievably annoying creatures are spreading rapidly and present in every corner of the globe (even Antarctica!).

Gruesome–but necessary–reading

Learning about how ticks live and feed makes for pretty gruesome reading.

Suffice to say that they go through four life stages: egg, six-legged larva, eight-legged nymph, and adult. The only course they have on their menu is blood, thanks to their bites on either animals or humans.

If they bite an animal that’s already carrying a pathogen, they can then transmit that bug to the next unlucky recipient of their cunning. Hopefully that won’t be you!

And get this–some of these ticks are hermaphrodites, like the rapidly spreading Asian bush tick, Hemophylis Longicornis, which means they can reproduce without mating. This also means that they are reproducing more rapidly than other ticks.

Although they haven’t been proven yet to transmit some of the multiple infections now being found in them (Borrelia burgdorferi, i.e., Lyme disease, tularemia, Rickettsia like Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, Heartland, and Bourbon viruses), time will tell.

In Asia, these same ticks can cause alpha gal syndrome, the “red meat allergy” as well as SFTS (Severe Fever and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome), a potentially fatal illness.

Bottom line: if you get bitten, you want to know what kind of tick it is, and what pathogens it contains.

Different varieties in different regions

As you’ve unfortunately realized by now, there are many varieties of ticks that live in different areas of the U.S. (I’ll discuss this in an upcoming posting, but for now you can check this map: https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/data-research/facts-stats/geographic-distribution-of-tickborne-disease-cases.html.)

Not every tick is a carrier of a pathogen–only the black-legged deer tick can transmit Lyme Disease, for example–so getting bitten doesn’t automatically guarantee that you’ll get sick. But enough ticks are infected in this country and abroad, and can spread any or more of these 20 diseases with just one bite, as you can see from this CDC list:

Where Are Ticks Lurking?

Ticks are tenacious, and can be found even in urban environments you’d think would be free of them. According to the New York City Department of Health, for example, there were 3,323 (2,482 new ones and 741 positive ones from previous years) reported cases of Lyme disease in NYC residents in 2023. This is up from 2,524 cases in 2022.

There were also 77 reports of anaplasmosis and 116 of babesiosis in 2023. I suspect that these cases were picked up while in any of the city’s many parks, but who knows?

These numbers are likely gross underestimates of how bad the problem truly is, because several of the diseases we will be discussing can’t easily be picked up on standard blood tests, and doctors may not know to always look for them since some of the symptoms are non-specific and overlap other illnesses.

As I’ve said in earlier posts, last year alone, the CDC reported 476,000 cases of Lyme disease in the US, and their recent implementation of a revised case definition reported that case counts are rising where the incidence was 1.7 times the annual U.S. average in 2017–2019, an overall 68.5% increase, rising with patient age.

If you’re going outside to an environment where ticks are hiding—going to a park, hiking on trails in fields or forests, or while gardening, for example—follow these tips.

Tick Lookout Tips

  • Ticks can’t ‘officially’ fly, although static electricity from animals results in ticks being pulled by these electric fields across air gaps measuring several of their body lengths, resulting in leaps that one could almost define as flying. They also don’t jump, so they have to crawl from host to host as their primary means of attachment. They lurk. They wait. (This is called “questing.”)
  • The little monsters are clever enough to detect a potential host by sensing body heat, moisture, odors, or carbon dioxide; or by the vibrations of someone passing by. Although the deer tick (Ixodes scapularis in the northeastern US) or Ixodes pacificus (in the Pacific US), can sense your presence from 12 feet away and come running, some of these ticks like the lone star tick (Ambylomma Americanum) can sense your heat and carbon dioxide from up to 50 feet away. They will come after you to bite you from quite a distance, even if you are not in high grass or directly exposed.
  • As soon as they can climb onto where they aren’t wanted, they either latch on in one spot, or take their time wandering around your body where skin might be thinner and easier to bite.
  • So when you go outside, stay in the middle of any trails, away from tall grasses, branches, and leaves. Try not to brush up against any foliage. Ticks also like to quest in border areas in the yard or park and near bird feeders.
  • If you have a yard, keep the grass short. If you have a compost pile, or piles of leaves, stay out of them!
  • Don’t sit directly on the ground, on large stones or fallen logs, or on stone or brick walls.

**Comment**

Dr. Horowitz is incorrect concerning ‘climate change’ making ticks and the diseases they carry worse.  Independent research has clearly shown ticks are on the move due to migrating birds and photoperiod (not to mention agents of our own government purposely infecting ticks with pathogens and then kicking boxes full of them out of airplanes).  Further, research blaming ‘climate change’ for every ill under the sun is based on biased research using an erroneous model.

Utilizing erroneous models was also clearly seen during the COVID psyop and continues to this day.

A bought out, biased media is also using corrupt data to spread this climate alarmism.

Due to highly sought after government grants, researchers have also fallen prey to conducting biased research, making claims that are not supported by data.

A train of articles have come out on how research and medicine have been hijacked and are completely driven by an unholy alliance with Industry, government, and University research facilities.  Besides being unethical, which should be troublesome on its own, it causes patient suffering.

‘Science’ is funded primarily by industry and this conflict of interest means there is little honest research being done.

How DMSO Protects and Heals the Internal Organs

The evidence behind DMSO’s utility for a myriad of challenging diseases

 
A Midwestern Doctor
Nov 17, 2024

Story at a Glance:

•The therapeutic actions of DMSO make it well suited to treat challenging conditions throughout the body, including many of the internal organs.

•In this article, we will examine how DMSO protects organs from injury (e.g., poisoning or blood loss) and some of the specific diseases DMSO has been proven to treat.

•These include: heart attacks, liver cirrhosis, gallstones, ARDS, lung damage from inhaling smoke, pulmonary fibrosis, pancreatitis, diabetes, nephritis, kidney stones, polycystic kidney disease, cystitis, epididymitis, genital pain, prostatitis, urethral syndrome, enlarged prostates, tubal infertility, endometrial inflammation, and fibrosis.

•This article will review DMSO treatment protocols for those conditions (along with non-DMSO approaches we utilize for them) and provide general DMSO information for those looking to use DMSO for their own health.  (See link for article)

DMSO Revolutionizes Skin Care and Dermatology

Exploring how skin health goes hand in hand with whole body health

 
A Midwestern Doctor
Dec 01, 2024

Story at a Glance:

•DMSO has a variety of unique therapeutic properties that allow it to address the root causes of many different illnesses—including those of the skin.

•DMSO effectively protects the skin from damage (e.g., radiation, chemotherapy, freezing, blood loss) and rapidly heals skin injuries (e.g., burns, chronic wounds or surgical incisions).

•DMSO addresses many circulatory disorders such as hemorrhoids, varicose veins, venous and diabetic ulcers, and Raynaud’s.

•DMSO also effectively addresses many common (but often challenging) dermatological conditions such as hair loss, psoriasis, shingles, herpes, skin cancer, lichen sclerosis, skin infections, nail issues, acne, eczema, pruritus, mastitis, insect and animal bites, sunburns and skin growths.

•This article will review DMSO treatment protocols for those conditions (along with non-DMSO approaches we utilize for them) and provide general DMSO information for those looking to use DMSO for their own health.

The American medical industry has accomplished a remarkable feat; each year it consumes a greater portion of the national budget (currently over 17.3% of GDP) yet it continues to have some of the worst outcomes in the developed world (despite spending 2-4 times as much on healthcare). This is made possible by a vast medical monopoly that prevents economical therapies from out-competing the medical industry’s cash cows and systemic corruption that makes the government unwilling to confront the sources of illness in our society (e.g., processed food companies or vaccine manufacturers).

The natural therapy I decided to focus on, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), was an ideal choice for this task, as it’s very safe (provided you use it correctly) and rapidly improves a variety of conditions medicine struggles with—particularly chronic pain (discussed here). As such, I’ve received many reports of life-changing benefits from it that left even the reader in disbelief.  (See link for article)

Letter Breaking Down Timeline & Deception of Lyme Disease: No Studies Have Ruled out Sexual Transmission

Question for Aaron Siri, Managing Partner Siri & Glimstad

Carl Tuttle
Hudson, NH, United States
Dec 18, 2024

If antibiotic resistance was acknowledged early on by our Public Health Officials as it was by Dr. Allen Steere in 1977 the focus would have been on developing new antimicrobials (or different combinations) as seen in the treatment of Brucellosis but the potential money grab from a Lyme vaccine was far too lucrative to pass up. Everything about Lyme from that point forward had to support vaccine development. A chronic relapsing SERONEGATIVE disease did not fit the vaccine model. The money orgy produced by vaccines could not be more obvious through recent Covid events. The rest of the world now has a bird’s eye view of what our Public Health Officials are capable of when a false narrative has been dictated. The disabled Lyme community has been shouting from the rooftops for decades and everyone reading this knows of someone severely affected from Lyme disease; shame on you for not speaking up!

The following letter to Aaron Siri, Managing Partner of Siri & Glimstad breaks down the timeline and deception. Attorney Siri recently exposed the truth/facts about childhood vaccines through the depositions of Stanley Plotkin world’s leading authority on vaccines and Dr. Kathryn Edwards world’s leading vaccinologist.

Siri & Glimstad
Aaron Siri, Managing Partner

Dear Attorney Siri,

When and who ruled out sexually transmitted Lyme disease?

Hold that thought for one moment please….

Weren’t we told by IDSA/Eugene Shapiro that there has never been one case of congenital Lyme? WRONG! WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the New York Times that Lyme is “hard to catch and easy to halt”? WRONG!

Weren’t we told by Wormser that persistent symptoms are nothing more than the aches and pains of daily living? WRONG!

Weren’t we told by Mainstream media that LYMErix was taken off the market due to poor sales? WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the CDC/IDSA that the bulls-eye rash appears 80% of the time?  WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the CDC/IDSA Paul Auwaerter that the two-tier Lyme test is a good test?  WRONG! WRONG!

Weren’t we told by Wormser that single dose Doxycycline as a prophylaxis after tick bite is sufficient in stopping the disease? WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the CDC/IDSA that there’s no Lyme disease in the south?  WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the CDC/IDSA that it takes 48hrs of tick attachment before the disease can be transmitted. WRONG! WRONG!

Weren’t we told by the (CDC/IDSA/ALDF) that there is no toxin involved in Lyme disease? WRONG! Again.

So what else have they gotten wrong??

Getting back to my original question: “sexually transmitted Lyme disease” ...

The 2014 study below found culture positive evidence of Borrelia spirochetes in the genital secretions of these patients:

Culture and identification of Borrelia spirochetes in human vaginal and seminal secretions
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5482345/

Conclusions:  The culture of viable Borrelia spirochetes in genital secretions suggests that Lyme disease could be transmitted by intimate contact from person to person. Further studies are needed to evaluate this hypothesis.

Here is the CDC’s stance on sexually transmitted Lyme disease:

About other modes of transmission
https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/causes/index.html

There is no credible scientific evidence that Lyme disease is spread through touching, kissing, or sexual contact. Published studies in animals do not support sexual transmission (Moody 1991; Woodrum 1999), and the biology of the Lyme disease spirochete is not compatible this route of exposure (Porcella 2001).

Carl Tuttle’s comment: ONE SINGLE PUBLICATION 23 YEARS AGO! This is not an actual study proving or ruling out sexual transmission; this is one man’s perspective using the words “suggest/suggests/suggesting.”

Don’t look!  That assures you won’t find!

Isn’t that exactly what you just exposed Attorney Siri in the depositions of Stanley Plotkin and Dr. Kathryn Edwards regarding the vaccine and autism debate? There have been no autism studies for the childhood vaccine schedule to challenge the mantra “Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism because we say so.”

There have been no studies to rule out sexually transmitted Lyme disease so how much sexually transmitted Lyme has been circulating in the public for the past three decades or more?

In 2003 Texas physicians Harvey and Salvato tested their chronically ill patients for Lyme disease via CDC Western blot criteria finding all patients positive for the infection in a state where the prevalence of Lyme infected ticks is only about 1-2%. “No history of bull’s-eye rash or illness following tick bite was reported by these patients.” The CDC defines “Lyme disease” exclusively as a zoonotic illness. Congenital and gestational transfer cases have been disregarded for reasons not evident to us.”

Here is an example of how other infections have been managed:

Chronic Brucellosis and Persistence of Brucella melitensis DNA
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Chronic+Brucellosis+and+Persistence+of+Brucella+melitensis+DNA

After acute brucellosis infection, symptoms persist in a minority of patients for more than 1 year. Such patients are defined as having chronic brucellosis. Since no objective laboratory methods exist to confirm the presence of chronic disease, these patients suffer delays in both diagnosis and treatment.

Why haven’t we done this with Borrelia burgdorferi infection…..

1. Administration of a triple versus a standard double antimicrobial regimen for human brucellosis more efficiently eliminates bacterial DNA load.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25246401

The doxycycline-streptomycin-rifampin regimen eliminates Brucella DNA more efficiently than doxycycline-streptomycin, which may result in superior long-term clearance of Brucella.

2. Different Clinical Presentations of Brucellosis.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27284398

It was once believed that rifampin was curative in treating Brucellosis but when symptoms returned doxycycline was added to the mix and when that too failed a third antibiotic, streptomycin was added to the current treatment regimen.

In contrast, oral amoxicillin or doxycycline remains the treatment of choice for treating Lyme disease for over thirty years regardless if debilitating symptoms return. Dr. Allen Steere knew that these antibiotics were not effective for all patients (see 1977 reference) but there has been no change in treatment or research to find more effective ways to eradicate the infection in all stages of disease.

Lyme arthritis: an epidemic of oligoarticular arthritis in children and adults in three connecticut communities. (1977)  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/836338/

Steere AC, Malawista SE, Snydman DR, Shope RE, Andiman WA, Ross MR, Steele FM.

Excerpt:

“The best treatment for this illness is not clear. Some physicians have reported that penicillin or tetracycline results in disappearance of the skin lesion (41,42), but others find antibiotics ineffective. Four of the patients with expanding skin lesions received penicillin but still developed arthritis.”

In contrast, the only action item we have in the pipeline after FORTY years for Lyme disease is a vaccine fast-tracked by the FDA in 2017. Since all the eggs have been put into the vaccine basket it would appear that our Health Agencies are in the shot business with annual revenue of $4.3 billion from the sales and patent royalties.

A chronic relapsing seronegative disease DOES NOT fit the vaccine model because you cannot prove vaccine efficacy in a disease where we don’t know who has or does not have the infection! So, deny the chronically infected by suppressing all evidence of antibiotic resistance, claim that the infection is easily treated because newer curative treatment for all stages of disease would give the public an excuse not to take the vaccine, reject all direct-detection methods that prove chronic infection and voila! move forward with patent royalties, vaccine development and pharmaceutical profits. The federal watchdog is no more. People suffering and dying and for what? Lyme for Profit.

The CDC has propagated this false Lyme disease narrative for decades and to this day refuses to recognize the disabling stage of the disease exposed in the documentaries Under our Skin and The Quiet Epidemic.

Suppressing evidence of antibiotic resistance for the sake of a vaccine is a crime Attorney Siri!

This is a criminal case that must be exposed as you have done with the childhood vaccine mantra; “Vaccines do not cause autism because we say so.”

Chronic Lyme does not exist because we say so! DO NOT QUESTION OUR PUBLIC HEALTH NARRATIVE, PERIOD!!! Or else…

We need your help Attorney Siri! We need your help!

The Haunting Legacy of Lyme

The Haunting Legacy of Lyme

The ‘Polly Murray Papers’ reveal the horrific symptoms of ground-zero Lyme disease sufferers.

Kris Newby
Jul 12, 2024

Sadness washed over me as I walked through the house in Lyme, Connecticut, where Mary Luckett “Polly” Murray used to live. Built in 1853, it was located in a rural area surrounded by forests, rolling hills, and cranberry bogs. The house needed a fresh coat of paint, and the yard had gone to seed. The new owner had recently divorced and hadn’t replaced the furniture his ex-wife had taken. There were mattresses on the floor and unfinished projects spilling out of the garage. The owner and his dog seemed unwell. Taking in the scene, I thought, this looks like the flotsam and jetsam of another family destroyed by Lyme disease.

The previous owner, Polly Murray, was an artist, a mother of four sick children, and the disease’s first unofficial epidemiologist. She died in 2019 of Alzheimer’s disease. In the 1960s, she began documenting the bizarre constellation of symptoms that afflicted her family and neighbors living along the Connecticut River. In April, I visited the Medical Historical Library at Yale University to review her original Lyme patient case histories, turning back the pages of time in search of the origins of this mysterious outbreak.

These first-hand accounts raised a lot of questions for me. Why did it take 11 years, from 1964 to 1975, for the medical system to take notice and take action? In 1975, the investigation was assigned to Allen Steere, MD, a young Yale rheumatology fellow who had just returned from a CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) assignment in Liberia. Why did Steere narrow the symptomology so soon in the investigation and downplay most of the neurological symptoms? Why did it take six more years to identify the underlying tick-borne bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi? Did CDC-EIS, the U.S. organization that investigates suspicious disease outbreaks, find it strange that three tick-borne diseases suddenly appeared a few miles from the Plum Island biological weapons lab?

As I looked through the boxes of her notes, I was struck by the unusual nature of the symptoms and the point-source geographic origin. What happened there, and what can we learn from Polly’s eyewitness account?  (See link for article)

RSV Trials Paused. COVID Shot: 100 M With Irreversible Heart Damage; Former HHS Advisor’s Affidavit States mRNA Shots Are Weapons; Infants Having Heart Attacks; DNA contamination 4 Times Legal Limit; Biden Admin Extends Liability Shield & Extends ‘Emergency Declaration’

Infant RSV mRNA Injection Trials Paused Due to Safety Concerns

Moderna’s experimental injections appear to have exacerbated severe lower respiratory tract infections instead of preventing RSV.

Nicolas Hulscher, MPH
Dec 11, 2024

The FDA has just released a briefing document for the December 12, 2024, Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) Meeting titled, Considerations for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Vaccine Safety in Pediatric Populations. The document revealed that, in July 2024, a Phase 1 trial assessing the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of two Moderna RSV vaccine candidates (mRNA-1365 and mRNA-1345) in infants aged 5 to 8 months was paused following reports of five severe to very severe cases of lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) caused by RSV:

During the study, an imbalance in severe RSV cases was identified, based on a pre-specified study stopping criterion, among participants 5 months through <8 months of age who received the lower mRNA vaccine dose. In Cohorts 3 and 4, five (5) cases (12.5% of participants) of clinically significant (CS) severe/very severe RSV were identified in the vaccine groups (all of whom had received 1 or 2 doses of a 3-dose schedule), compared with one (1) case (5% of participants) in the placebo group. The percentage of participants with symptomatic RSV disease in Cohorts 3 and 4 who progressed to severe illness was 26.3% in the vaccine groups compared with 8.3% in the placebo group.

Of the six total severe cases (including one in the placebo group), five infants required hospitalization, and one required mechanical ventilation.  (See link for article and tables)

According to Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, the RSV shots are also mRNA based.  Further, and similarly to COVID shots, studies are not using mortality or even hospitalization as their end point but only reduction in symptoms.  There were 12,000 adverse events.  They only studied outcomes for 7 days.

Leading Cardiologist: 100 Million Vaccinated Americans May Have IRREVERSIBLE Heart Damage

According to Dr. Thomas Levy, Covid vaccines are causing heart injury in at least 2.8% of people who receive the injections.

Lioness of Judah Ministry
Dec 12, 2024

By Frank Bergman December 9, 2024

A leading cardiologist has warned that over 100 million Americans may now have irreversible heart damage after receiving Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

According to Dr. Thomas Levy, Covid vaccines are causing heart injury in at least 2.8% of people who receive the injections.

A minimum of 7 million Americans who took the Covid vaccine in 2021 now have severely damaged hearts, according to Dr. Levy.

However, the top doctor said that number is now likely to reach over 100 million people.

Dr. Levy is a renowned cardiologist and an attorney-at-law who also serves as the contributing editor for the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service.

Levy told MIT computer scientist and vaccine data expert Steve Kirsch that the spike protein’s effect on the heart is even worse than previously thought.

In an article, Kirsch, the founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF), highlighted the heart damage in vaccinated pilots.

As Slay News has previously reported, soaring heart damage among pilots was recently revealed in a change to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines.

Back in 2022, the FAA quietly changed the electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters for pilots to accommodate those with cardiac injury.

The update suggests the injections are causing an unprecedented amount of pilots to fail their screening.

In its updated “Guide for Aviation Medical Examiners,” the FAA widened the ECG parameters beyond the normal range (PR max of 0.2).

According to Kirsch, this range wasn’t widened by a little, it was a lot.“

The cardiac harm of course is not limited to pilots,” Kirsch explained in his article.  (See link for article and videos)

Important quote:

Meanwhile, secret official data from Santa Clara County has exposed a shocking surge in all-cause deaths among residents who received Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

The spike in mortality rates was revealed in the county’s official statistics after the hidden records were unsealed by a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

Breaking: Former Trump Administration HHS Senior Advisor Provides Affidavit: “mRNA nanoparticle injections, are in fact biological and technological weapons of mass destruction”

Dr. Joseph Sansone
Dec 07, 2024
Article Excerpts:

Former Trump Administration Health and Human Services (HHS) Senior Advisor, and epidemiologist, Dr. Paul Alexander, provided an affidavit stating that mRNA nanoparticle injections are biological and technological weapons. Dr. Alexander, a Trump loyalist, provided the affidavit in a new case in the State of Florida.
