Science Meets Buhner for Best Herbal Antibiotic Options

History Speaks

Historically, most herbal antibiotic regimens for used tick-borne infections are based on the writings and experience of master herbalist Stephen Buhner. His work is science related. However, most of the herbal antibiotics he recommends do not have actual studies showing they work in the lab or in humans for killing specific tick-borne infections. For instance, he recommends Andrographis to kill Borrelia based on science showing it kills another spirochete called Leptospirosis. And Buhner recommends Sida Acuta to address Babesia because it is used as an antimalarial, even though there is no research showing it works for Babesia.

Buhner’s writings occurred before the discovery of persister Borrelia (Lyme) and Bartonella which I describe below. So, his writings did not specifically address how to deal with these hibernation forms of germs.

Enter Science

Over the last few years, researchers are rushing to find new ways to kill the terrible Bs (Borrelia, Bartonella, and Babesia). Some of the interest in looking at herbal medicine options is the discovery of hibernating persister growth states of Borrelia and Bartonella that do not respond to classic herbal medicines or prescription regimens that target growing states of these germs. Out of this laboratory work, we now know that Buhner’s Andrographis does not work against Borrelia, but many other agents do.

In 2023 Shor and Schweig published their review of newer laboratory studies showing which herbal medicines work in the lab to kill the growing, persister, and biofilm states of Borrelia and Bartonella. This work also reveals numerous agents that can kill Babesia. Table 1. below is drawn from the Shor-Schwieg article. My table is more limited than the one published in their paper but focuses on what I have found clinically to be the most relevant herbal antibiotics.

Table 1. Herbal Antibiotic Actions

How to Interpret Table 1
  • About G P B. Borrelia and Bartonella exist in growing states, hibernation states, and biofilm communities. The growing states are also called active states. The hibernators are also called persisters or stationary states. Biofilms are mostly known as biofilms. I prefer to use the terms growing (G), persister (P) and biofilms (B) while Shor and Schweig refer to active, stationary, and biofilm states. Keep this in mind if you review their article and more extensive table.
  • About Blank. In some instances, a blank space in the table means the research did not look to see if an herbal agent actually addresses the identified problem. For instance, Zhang and colleagues showed that cinnamon, clove, and oregano oils kill Borrelia biofilms, but their research did not look at whether these herbal oils help Bartonella biofilm. Given the similarity of biofilm structures, cinnamon, clove and oregano oils may actually be good agents against Bartonella biofilms.
  • About Sida Acuta and Houttuynia. Buhner recommends Sida Acuta and Houttuynia to address Bartonella. He also recommends Sida Acuta for Babesia. These key herbal antibiotics are not included in my table or the work of Shor-Schweig because there was no research conducted looking at these agents. This does not mean they do not work, but based on science, we do not know.  (See link for article)

Babesiosis Study Paves Way For Better Treatment

Babesiosis study paves way for better treatment

Illustration of a tick

Babesiosis, a disease transmitted to humans by the same ticks that carry Lyme disease, is an emerging threat, particularly for individuals who are immunocompromised. In a new study, researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health identified how Babesia divergens—one of the parasites that causes babesiosis—spreads in the human body to cause infection. The findings suggest a path for the development of more effective drugs to treat the disease.

The study was published Jan. 27 in Nature Microbiology. Manoj Duraisingh, John LaPorte Given Professor of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, was corresponding author.

According to Duraisingh, babesiosis is “exploding” in the northeast U.S., and there are limited treatments to combat it. Some people who are infected are asymptomatic; others have flu-like symptoms. In healthy individuals, babesiosis typically resolves on its own. But elderly patients and those with weakened immune systems can experience severe disease with potentially fatal complications.

To learn more, the researchers examined Babesia divergens in the lab. They developed and optimized genetic tools, such as CRISPR, to study on a molecular level how Babesia divergens spreads from one infected cell to the next, to ultimately cause disease in humans.

The researchers discovered that Babesia divergens relies on four essential proteins to spread. They then validated drug compounds that block these proteins and stop parasite growth.

“This is the first detailed, genetically validated map of egress in Babesia divergens,” Duraisingh said. “We have now druggable targets in babesia parasites. This creates a clear path toward better therapies.”

COVID Shot Stroke Cover-Up And A Public Message to Anthony Fauci

https://sayerji.substack.com/p/breaking-biden-white-house-covid?

BREAKING: Biden White House COVID Stroke Cover-Up Exposed

A Pattern of Institutional Deception Finally Revealed in Stunning New Email Revelations

Newly released government documents confirm that Biden White House officials directly edited CDC messaging on COVID-19 vaccine safety in January 2023 — changing the description of a stroke risk signal in elderly Americans from “moderately elevated” to “slightly elevated,” removing the words “potential risk” entirely, and instructing health officials they “don’t want to see this document again.”

All of this happened while the same administration was aggressively pushing booster uptake in the very age group affected, and while its Surgeon General was publicly accusing independent health researchers of spreading harmful disinformation for raising the exact safety questions officials were quietly suppressing internally.

This is not a hypothetical scandal. It is documented. And for those of us who lived through the coordinated destruction of our platforms, our reputations, and our livelihoods for asking these questions in public, it is a confirmation that arrives with the full weight of vindication — and the full fury of unresolved injustice.

I was one of those researchers. And this story lands differently when you have been named a public enemy for telling the truth the government was simultaneously editing into silence.  (See link for Ji’s exposé on a purposeful bureaucratic editorial operation)

A Public Message to Anthony Fauci

Let Me Help You Remember What Went Wrong.

In what can only be described as a New York Times public image rehabilitation attempt, former NIAID Director Anthony Fauci comes across as a Pontius Pilate – his hands washed of any responsibility for his central role as a, if not the primary, driver of public health policies that nearly destroyed the United States of America.

Dr. Fauci, we remember. We ALL remember. Here is my message to help YOU remember. Let’s start with how you helped the Biden administration threaten ALL of our jobs, but the article does not mention that. It does not mention your central role in the lockdown – in fact,

you flatly deny that your actions or policies led to any school closings or factories shut down. How is it that governors across the U.S. decided “essential” and “non-essential” businesses, and you stood by and never protested?

In August 2020 you said publicly: “If someone refuses the vaccine in the general public, then there’s nothing you can do about that. You cannot force someone to take a vaccine.” Then on September 10, 2021 — the day after Biden announced the OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard covering ~80–100 million workers — you told PBS: “I myself am quite favorably impressed by that and feel strongly that that is what we should be doing.” On November 4, 2021, testifying before the Senate HELP Committee, when Sen. Romney asked directly whether mandates would save lives, you said: “We know that vaccines absolutely save lives. And we know that mandates work.”

Also on record in a Michael Specter audiobook, Summer 2021: “It’s been proven that when you make it difficult for people in their lives, they lose their ideological bullshit, and they get vaccinated. It was played back to you at the June 2024 hearing. You did not retract it.

The mandate had no testing option for federal workers or healthcare workers — it was vaccinate or lose your job. You were the Chief Medical Advisor sitting in the White House at the time. You did not object.

We all remember, also, your key role as a driver of the lockdown.

  • You sent Dr. Clifford Lane — your NIAID deputy — to China with the WHO Joint Mission in February 2020
  • Lane returned and wrote: “China has demonstrated this infection can be controlled, albeit at great cost. This is the bottom line.”
  • Lane told you directly: “From what I saw in China, we may have to go to as extreme a degree of social distancing to help bring our outbreak under control”
  • You testified he had “every reason to believe” Lane’s evaluation
  • You then admitted: social distancing “even by somewhat difficult means” involving “essentially the entire community” was possible in the U.S.

Your methodological problems:

  1. Lane visited after China had already locked down — he could only observe what was happening, not whether the lockdown caused the decline
  2. Chinese data was demonstrably unreliable — WHO had tailored confidentiality forms “to China’s terms” (FOIA-obtained emails, Judicial Watch, March 2021) and a January 2020 WHO epidemiological analysis was marked “strictly confidential”
  3. The WHO-China Joint Mission report itself was controlled: all activities were “arranged by the Chinese Government’s National Health Commission” (per a Feb. 15, 2020 internal WHO email)

It’s beyond time for vindication of those who were right all along, and accountability for those who pushed unscientific, fraudulent, and dangerous COVID measures that were ineffective and even deadly.

Abstract

Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Other species of Borrelia have been discovered and cause similar diseases. The first described species, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, was isolated in the United States. Lyme disease is a great imitator that can resemble many illnesses, including autoimmune diseases. ELISA and Western Blot diagnostic tests, which are supposed to have a sensitivity of almost 100%, are in fact often negative in many patients with genuine Lyme disease. These tests are poorly calibrated, of mediocre quality, with an arbitrarily defined threshold for antibody positivity, so that no more than 50% of patients with a positive test are ever found. Controversy surrounds the existence of the chronic form. However, chronicity is observed in many patients, and the mechanisms of Borrelia persistence are well documented in the literature. Recently, in 2018, the Haute Autorité de Santé (French National Authority for Health) defined SPPT (Syndrome Persistant Polymorphe Après-Piqure de Tique), enables empirical antibiotic treatment even in the absence of erythema migrans and with negative Lyme serology. Lyme disease is frequently associated with a number of other infections known as co-infections, whether parasitic, bacterial or viral. Treatment must be effective against Borrelia and other co-infections. A long course of antibiotics lasting several weeks or months may be required. Relapses are frequent when treatment is stopped, due to Borrelia’s persistence mechanisms, and require rapid reintroduction of previously effective treatments. Denial of the scientific realities described in this article has resulted in hundreds of thousands of patients wandering around with untreated, disabling symptoms, despite the fact that appropriate, low-cost anti-infective treatment enables remission in many cases.

When ‘Avoid Hospitals At All Costs’ Isn’t An Option

The following article is in response to the advice to ‘avoid hospitals at all cost‘ due to the horrifically unscientific and deadly Fauci death protocol seen during COVID tyranny where up to 70% of covid deaths were due to ventilators, with the rest being knocked off by remdesivir, aka run death is near‘.

To my knowledge the PREP Act in place during COVID was NOT removed, which means it’s still being used and will be used on you should you enter hospital corridors.  They are also tricking patients into getting all the jabs post haste as explained in the article below.

When “Avoid Hospitals at All Costs” Isn’t an Option

Here’s how to protect yourself in a worst-case scenario.

Article Excerpts:

At some point after Obamacare shoved “free preventive care” into law, hospitals and insurers quietly realized they were in a bit of a pickle: they couldn’t meet their new vaccine-quota incentives if they had to stop and get explicit consent every single time. To streamline operations, hospital networks allegedly began “updating” their intake forms, wrapping the common word vaccine into the regulatory term biologic—a word almost no normal person uses or understands. Why? Because if the form says I consent to necessary biologics,” and you sign it, hospitals can claim you already said yes to every jab under the sun.

It wasn’t an accident. It wasn’t confusion. It was a deliberate paperwork workaround to speed up compliance and eliminate refusals. Insurance companies wanted higher vaccination numbers. Hospitals wanted better reimbursement rates. Administrators wanted fewer arguments. So they buried the consent under a word no one recognized, and voila—problem solved.

Since the nurse wished to remain anonymous, Laura volunteered to share her I Do Not Consent Form, turning it into a free, customizable, downloadable medical directive designed to protect patients from hospital tomfoolery.

Laura soon launched a website, which she runs with Stanford-trained anesthesiologist Dr. Margaret Aranda. The site includes the form along with precise instructions for filling it out and delivering it (hint: you can’t just casually hand it to an orderly) in order to make sure it becomes a legally binding, permanent part of your medical record.“

In a hospital, if your ‘No’ is not documented in the chart, your ‘No’ isn’t guaranteed,” adds Dr. Aranda. “The I Do Not Consent Form makes your wishes official and enforceable.”

(See link for article, go to the ‘do not consent form’, print off, fill, and notorize – making sure to deliver it exactly as specified.)
