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:

The New England Journal of Medicine 

Published November 22, 1990

Chronic neurologic manifestations of Lyme disease

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.

By Dr. Michael Yeadon November 10, 2024

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.

New Data Exposes the Corruption Behind the COVID Response

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

A Midwestern Doctor
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.

Journal Racketeering

When RFK Jr. was running for president, he stated he would prioritize addressing the widespread corruption in medical journals (where pharmaceutical companies bribe them to publish favorable literature) by threatening to go after them with racketeering charges unless they divorced themselves from the pharmaceutical industry: (See link for video)

While this has been a longstanding problem, it got far worse during COVID-19 as we repeatedly saw academic journals publish non-sensical studies that were used to shut down any competing COVID-19 therapies (e.g., the Lancet published a study that “proved” hydroxychloroquine was killing people which resulted in a global suspension of hydroxychloroquine trials—but almost immediately, the study was proven to be a hoax as the dataset it claimed to have had many signs of fraud and could have never been obtained, resulting in the Lancet eventually having to retract it).  (See link for article and video)

**Comment**

Did you know the CDC planned national quarantine camps that were to be enforced with a ‘vaccine’ passport?
It was undoubtedly planned to be permanent and nationwide if not worldwide. Instead, the scheme had to be dialed back due to the leak that the shot didn’t stop infection or transmission.

People were to be isolated, given only food and some cleaning supplies. They would be banned from participating in any religious services. The plan included contingencies for preventing suicide. There were no provisions made for any legal appeals or even the right to legal counsel.

You would have become a hostage with no rights.

The official document was only removed on about March 26, 2023,

We should all be extremely thankful for those like a Midwestern doctor who have meticulously chronicled the entire COVID debacle for accountability and for posterity.  After all, those who don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it.

Important quote:

Regardless of the data or how much the vaccines fail to live up to their promises, the FDA and CDC keep on approving and then mandating the vaccines while insisting they are safe and effective.

The article also highlights the RKI leaks which confirms:
  • leaders knew the seasonal peak in respiratory illness was on its way out
  • they knew COVID was less dangerous than the flu and there is no justification to keep children out of school
  • lockdowns were utterly unnecessary but caused immense harms
  • they knew there was no point in mass testing of asymptomatic people
  • there was no justification for giving the gene therapy shots to children
  • there was never any evidence to support ‘vaccine’ mandates
  • they knew mask mandates were nonsensical and had the potential to make things worse
  • courts have started recognizing health agency testimony for government overreach is invalid as internally the agencies did not support what the government was telling them to support
  • they knew as of Jan. 2021 the AstraZeneca shot caused life-threatening cerebral venous sins thrombosis
  • they knew testing requirements given to the unvaxxed to enter Germany had no scientific basis and were purely political
  • they knew COVID tests were highly inaccurate so there was no justification to use them

(See link for much, much more corrupt COVID history)

Important excerpt:

Unless criminal penalties are put on the individuals in the industry, this behavior will never stop. In almost all cases, this is never on the table (as the corporate structure is designed to shield its members from prosecution). Still, I believe the current political climate makes this possible. Consider for example, how many people saw this recent post:

In turn, it is my belief that if serious actions are taken against the COVID-19 cartel in America and their misdeeds are publicly exposed, it will ignite a global campaign against this corruption. All of this is a very unique opportunity I never expected to see in my lifetime, and I sincerely thank each of you for helping to make this possible.

There’s always a silver lining…..

Brazil Faces Same Problems With Lyme Disease As Seen in the USA

http://cameronmd.com/brazil-faces-problems-lyme-disease-seen-usa/

Brazil faces same problems with Lyme disease as seen in the USA

An article published in the Brazilian Journal of Microbiology entitled “Brazilian borreliosis with special emphasis on humans and horses” examines the growing number of cases in Brazil of Lyme disease, referred to, in that country, as the Lyme-like or Baggio-Yoshinari Syndrome (BYS).

By Dr. Daniel Cameron

The authors take an in-depth look at BYS and how it compares to Lyme disease (LD) found in the United States. Although there are slight differences between the diseases, BYS and LD share similarities on many fronts. [1] “Despite the increasing number of suspect cases, this disease [BYS] is still neglected in Brazil by the medical and veterinary communities,” writes Basile and colleagues.

BYS causes some of the same symptoms seen in Lyme disease, such as erythema migrans, arthritis, neurological symptoms and cardiac disease. Both are difficult to diagnose.

“The disease is often unrecognized, especially at secondary or tertiary stages when patients do not remember what occurred months or years before the current disease,” stated Basile. “Certainly, many cases of unrecognized chronic neurological or articular disease are in fact cases of BYS not identified and treated at early stage.”

The capybaras, a popular Brazilian house pet, is a known reservoir for ticks infected with the Lyme-like or Baggio-Yoshinari Syndrome (BYS).

The Brazilian disease can also be multisystemic. “Baggio-Yoshinari Syndrome has been reported to cause neurological, cardiac, ophthalmic, muscle, and joint alterations in humans.” Furthermore, it has been associated with a high morbidity “due to the presence of symptom recurrence, severe reactive manifestations such as autoimmunity, and the need for prolonged treatment.”

According to Basile and colleagues, the disease progresses with recurrences, “especially if antibiotic treatment is initiated later than three months after infection.” Thus, treating the disease in its early stages is critical.

Cystic forms have been described, as well. “Because motile and spiral spirochetes were never isolated or cultured in Brazil, researchers from LIM-17 assumed that the etiological agent in Brazil was present in cystic form.”

The Brazilian patients may also be suffering from co-infections, as investigators identified other microrganisms in the blood of BYS patients. Tests showed “the occurrence of microorganisms with morphological structures similar to Mycoplasma spp., Chlamydia spp., and non-flagellated spirochetes in the peripheral blood of patients with BYS who were seropositive for B. burgdorferi sensu lato,” according to Basile. “Those patients exhibited negative serology for Mycoplasma spp. and Chlamydia spp.”

Additionally, laboratory testing for BYS is unreliable. There is a low sensitivity and specificity with the ELISA, enzyme immunosorbent assay, or western blotting for B. burgdorferi, in part because these tests utilize antigens from B. burgdorferi stricto sensu from the Northern Hemisphere.

Domestic pets have been described as potential reservoirs for ticks carrying the disease. The capybaras, a large rodent and popular house pet in Brazil, has been identified as a likely reservoir and is thus a threat in spreading the disease.

Wild and domestic animals can be infected. “Studies indicate that LB [Lyme borreliosis] in horses has clinical signs similar to the disease in humans, including fever and lethargy, arthritis, polysynovitis, lameness, muscle stiffness, abortion, meningitis, cranial neuritis, radiculoneuritis and encephalitis, uveitis, and premature death of foals,” according to Basile.

The authors’ findings reminds us that the challenges faced in the United States in gaining recognition for a disease that is growing in numbers and has the potential to cause chronic, debilitating illness is not unique to our country. The Brazilian patients suffering from the Lyme-like or Baggio-Yoshinari Syndrome are struggling to conquer the same obstacles.

“Lyme disease is a condition of extreme importance because it is a zoonosis that causes physical and psychological sequelae in affected individuals. It remains poorly investigated in Brazil, especially in the field of veterinary medicine. Therefore, studies describing the unique aspects of the disease in Brazil and the etiological agents found are needed.”

Update: Oliveira from the Ministry of Health, Brasilia, DF, Brazil was not able confirm Lyme-like borreliosis in Brazil in a letter in the journal Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease.1 “The interpretations of the results have not followed those recommended by the CDC.” writes Oliveira. Only three cases of Lyme-like borreliosis were identified. “This evidence reinforces the hypothesis that Lyme borreliosis does not occur in Brazil.” writes Oliveira.

23andMe Reportedly Faces Bankruptcy – What Will Happen to Everyone’s DNA Samples?

23andMe Reportedly Faces Bankruptcy — What Will Happen to Everyone’s DNA Samples?

October 21, 2024

By Megan Prictor, The University of Melbourne

Since it was founded nearly two decades ago, 23andMe has grown into one of the largest biotechnology companies in the world. Millions of people have used its simple genetic testing service, which involves ordering a saliva test, spitting into a tube, and sending it back to the company for a detailed DNA analysis.

But now the company is on the brink of bankruptcy. This has raised concerns about what will happen to the troves of genetic data it has in its possession.

The company’s chief executive, Anne Wojcicki, has said she is committed to customer privacy and will “maintain our current privacy policy”.

But what can customers of 23andMe themselves do to make sure their highly personal genetic data is protected? And should we be concerned about other companies that also collect our DNA?

What happened to 23andMe?

23andMe has had a rapid downfall after the 2021 high of its public listing.

Its value has dropped more than 97%. In 2023 it suffered a major data breach affecting almost seven million users, and settled a class action lawsuit for US$30 million.

Last month its seven independent directors resigned amid news the original founder is planning to take the company private once more. The company has never made a profit and is reportedly on the verge of bankruptcy.

What this might mean for its vast stores of genetic data is unclear.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Many Lyme/MSIDS patients have had this genetic testing done, often to determine if they have a problem detoxing due to genetics.

The article advises:

The simplest thing is to delete your account, which opts you out of any future research and discards your saliva sample. But if your data has already been de-identified and used in research, it can’t be retrieved. And even if you delete your account, 23andMe says it will keep hold of information including your genetic data, date of birth and sex, to comply with its own legal obligations.

Lyme Disease Testing Update, Alpha Gal Syndrome, and More With Global Lyme Alliance Leaders

Sept. 9, 2024

Fred Diamond’s popular book, “Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know” offers those who love someone with persistent or chronic Lyme disease ideas and tips to support this beloved person. It also helps Lyme survivors know how to ask for support.  The e-version of Fred’s book is always free for Lyme survivors. Just reach out to Fred on Facebook or LinkedIn. The print copy can be ordered at https://www.amazon.com/Love-Hope-Lyme….

On today’s episode, we discuss Alpha Gal Syndrome, a tick-borne disease that caused red meat allergies, Lyme testing updates, and new treatments in the works. His guest is Global Lyme Alliance CEO Laura MacNeill and then GLA Chief Scientific Officer Tim Sellati. They discuss the work GLA is doing to develop better diagnostics, tests and treatment for tick-borne diseases including Lyme and the coinfections Bartonella and Babesiosis.

They discussed work they are funding with Dr. Brandon Jutras at Northwestern University and other research projects in the Lyme and chronic illness world. When Fred was doing the research for his popular book “Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know,” he was ignorant about the work happening at universities to find better diagnostics, treatment, and mental health solutions for the millions of chronic Lyme disease survivors around the globe. If someone you love has been afflicted with Lyme disease, watch this podcast now.

If you have Lyme disease, listen for ways to get the support you need.
