Columbia Clinical Trials Network Seeks Treatment Approaches From Public, Clinicians, & Others

From Columbia Clinical Trials Network: In recognition of a severe unmet need, the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation’s grant to Columbia University has established the first national Columbia Clinical Trials Network for Lyme and other Tick-borne Diseases [www.lymectn.org]. The Research Network starts with a team of leading investigators, including Dr. Brian Fallon at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City, Dr. John Aucott at Johns Hopkins University Medical Center in Baltimore Maryland, and Dr. Roberta DeBiasi at Children’s National Hospital in Washington D.C.

Providing oversight to ensure that the highest-quality clinical trials are undertaken, the Clinical Trials Network will:

  • provide internal funding support for small pilot studies
  • assist investigators in protocol design and statistical research planning
  • establish and manage a national case registry
  • create a data management system for multi-site clinical trials
The clinical trials network will be a powerful engine to drive large-scale clinical trials and potentially transformational early-stage research.

To generate as many ideas as possible and to hear directly from the front lines of clinical experience, Columbia CTNCC invites public, community clinicians, and other stakeholders to submit their ideas on treatment approaches. These ideas may spark off development of a pilot study and be included in clinical trials conducted at one of the CTN nodes.

You may contribute to a groundbreaking research project in the field of Lyme and the tick-borne diseases.

The deadline for the first round of submissions for treatment research ideas from the general public is July 1, 2021. The submission period opened June 1.

To submit your suggestions for treatments, please go to www.lymectn.org and submit on the “Treatment Research Idea Hub”.

Review of Evidence Supporting IDSA Guidelines EM Treatment in US

Review of Evidence Supporting IDSA Guidelines EM Treatment in US

2014 ElizabethMaloneyMD
Elizabeth Maloney, MD

The IDSA guidelines for Lyme disease contain 2 recommendations for antibiotic therapy for patients with erythema migrans (EM) rashes. The first recommendation identified which antibiotics were preferred and the second specified therapy duration.

In “Evidence-Based, Patient-Centered Treatment of Erythema Migrans in the United States,” Antibiotics 2021, author Elizabeth L. Maloney, MD, reviews the US trial evidence on EM rashes, problems of the IDSA recommendations considering that evidence, and provides evidence-based patient-centered strategies for managing patients with EM.

“The EM rash is the hallmark finding of early disease,” along with other symptoms. “In light of the physical and financial costs, identifying and promoting highly effective therapeutic interventions for US patients with erythema migrans (EM) rashes that return them to their pre-infection health status should be a priority.” 

The paper states:

“when promptly diagnosed and appropriately treated with antibiotics, early Lyme disease is curable.” Untreated and inadequately treated infections can progress to long-term sequalae. Patient-centered care–defined by the National Academy of Medicine—“…is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions. Patient-centered outcomes are outcomes that matter to patients, such as reductions in symptoms or improvements in quality of life.” In recent times, patient-centered outcomes are becoming part of trial designs.

Dr. Maloney uses a Medline search with specified criteria to identify the trials conducted in the US for the named antibiotics recommended by IDSA Lyme guidelines.  There were 25 results of which 8 met the search criteria, other 17 were EM trials in Europe, disseminated disease in Europe, European antibiotic retreatment, culture difficulty, and tick bite prophylaxis. The US trials were old, were small, and 2 had high non completion rates of 40%+ and two others had single arm with 20%+ non—completion, thus Dr. Maloney indicates these should not be included to determine treatment efficacy.

The paper goes on to examine the remaining US trials, several of which used disease centered endpoints, not patient centered endpoints, and all those trials used what is currently considered outdated statistical methodology, pointing out the weaknesses of the evidence used by IDSA. In the conclusion, Dr. Maloney highlights the need for more research.

Former FOX reporter says media, WHO are covering up reports about effectiveness of Ivermectin, HCQ to treat coronavirus

YouTube bans videos that discuss Ivermectin as a possible coronavirus treatment.

June 28, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The mainstream media are suppressing information about the effectiveness of Ivermectin as a treatment for the coronavirus, according to a former reporter for a FOX affiliate.

Ivory Hecker said that FOX censored her when she tried to report on Ivermectin’s effectiveness. She posted a video recently that appeared to include footage from 2020 that her employer did not air.

Dr. Joseph Varon is referred to as the “COVID Hunter.” He’s made hundreds of media appearances on news stations in the United States and internationally.

He’s also been widely successful in treating COVID because he’s used drugs including Ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) to treat COVID.

“Almost every outlet has failed to note,” said Hecker, that Varon’s use of the drugs has helped him achieve a low death rate for patients he treats in hospitals.

Hecker interviewed Baron, and he said that the media would not include his comments on Ivermectin in their media reports.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

Censorship of the successful usage of cheap, safe, and effective treatments for COVID is unconscionable.  It truly is quite similar to the Lyme/MSIDS debacle.  According to Dr. McCullough, 500,000 lives could have been saved had these treatments been used.

This website posted the MATH+ protocol the minute it was published.  Experts with decades of experience are being maligned, censored, and ignored while career public health ‘authority’ politicians, who haven’t treated a patient in years are being worshipped as all-knowing gods.  I truly hope Lyme/MSIDS patients are not falling for the propaganda.  Your very life may depend upon it.

If you watch the short video in the article above, you will learn that this patient was essentially on his death-bed until his wife found the MATH+ protocol online.  They asked to change hospitals where a doctor was using this treatment.  It saved the man’s life.  My personal experience is quite similar, as well as others I’m familiar with.

It is so bad that desperate patients are turning to judges to force hospitals to use these treatments to save lives.  Further, research has completely been hijacked, and is not to be blindly trusted.  The polarization on COVID is tangible and is truly reminiscent of Lyme/MSIDS.

Yale public health professor suggests 60% of new COVID-19 patients have received vaccine

‘Clinicians have been telling me that more than half of the new COVID cases that they’re treating are people who have been vaccinated,’ said Dr. Harvey Risch.

12 COVID deaths in Belgian nursing home following vaccination

52 of the 55 residents who tested positive for the coronavirus in May had been vaccinated in January.

June 23, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — A nursing home for the elderly in Nivelles, Belgium, has lost 12 of its 121 residents to COVID-19 in less than a month, and two are still in critical condition. While 98 percent of the elderly inhabitants had been fully inoculated with both doses of the Pfizer experimental vaccine in January, no less than 55 of them tested positive in May for the coronavirus, and 52 of those were vaccinated. The home, “Nos Tayons” in the French-speaking part of Belgium, had not experienced previous waves of COVID contaminations since the beginning of the public health crisis last year.

According to press reports, all those who died had been vaccinated.

The numerous “breakthrough” contaminations and deaths — over 20 percent of those who tested positive did not survive — did not shake the confidence of the health care workers and managers of “Nos Tayons” in the vaccine. (See link for article)

Important quote:

She stressed that vaccination does not necessarily prevent catching or transmitting the illness.

But more and more reports in Belgium are suggesting a third dose of the “vaccine” might now be called for.

According to this study, 6% of all “break-through” cases result in death.
The Belgian nursing home demonstrates that this percentage will be much, much higher in the elderly.  

Sadly, these patients could have been treated with cheap, effective, safe drugs, but these treatments are still highly censored and ignored.  

Meanwhile, the barrel full of monkeys keeps rolling out on the dangers of these fast tracked injections which aren’t “vaccines“:

Meanwhile the latest fear-mongering tactic involves pushing variants, despite the fact they are:

“unlikely to pose significantly differing risk to people with natural immunity compared to the original, as resistance is primarily based on your T cells, which have been shown to recognize and attack variants that are up to 80% dissimilar.SARS-CoV-2 variants are at most 0.3% dissimilar from the original, which means T cell immunity will easily recognize and protect against them.”  Source

We’ve been warned by numerous experts that mass vaccination campaigns are actually driving these variants, yet you won’t hear this from our corrupt public health ‘authorities,” who profit from these injections.

Canadian MP Uses Parliament Hill To Give Voices to Censored Docs & Scientists. ‘The Underpinning of Science is Open Debate’

https://www.europereloaded.com/canadian-mp-derek-sloan-uses-parliament-hill-to-give-voices-to-censored-doctors-scientists/

Canadian MP Derek Sloan Uses Parliament Hill To Give Voices to Censored Doctors & Scientists

June 19, 2021 TLB Staff

ER Editor: This video was posted to Bitchute by Health Impact News. MP Derek Sloan provides a platform from Parliament Hill for Guelph University scientist and vaccinologist Dr. Byram Bridle, famous for having recently declared that a vaccine based on the toxic spike protein was a mistake. Also emergency physician Dr. Patrick Philips and scientist Dr. Donald Welsh of the University of Western Ontario. Here are our notes from the presentations, but we recommend watching this 38-minute video.

‘The mixing of politics and medicine is unprecedented’

Derek Sloan, MP

  • Hospital figures are skewed by shipping in patients from other areas, such as Toronto.
  • Many of the sick people in hospitals have been vaccinated.
  • The College of Nurses in Ontario is threatening their members if they speak out, ditto for the College of Physicians.
  • Informed consent is not being sought when vaccines are being administered.
  • Through a nurse whistleblower, we learn that women are getting heart problems, too. An armed forces member claims they are being pressured to be vaccinated, which may be made compulsory by November. Will this happen to the general Canadian population?
  • Canadian officials are deliberately misleading the public and must be held to account. People daring to speak out, including experts, are being harshly censored and/or threatened.

‘The party system has hijacked Democracy. The Public needs to demand their local MP represent them’

Dr. Byram Bridle

  • As a PUBLIC SERVANT, he has a responsibility to answer questions honestly.
  • The link between Covid vaccines and heart inflammation has created a bomb. He’s facing attacks from colleagues; fake social media accounts have been created to trash him. Private medical info on his parents has been made public.
  • His site is:  CanadianCovidCareAlliance.org
  • The link between the vaccines and heart inflammation is well established by Pfizer and through other sources. The scientific literature has exploded in the last 16 months. Traditional notions about vaccines, where they stay in the deltoid muscle and are picked up from there by the lymph node system, don’t apply. mRNA is distributed throughout the body. Only 25% remains in the deltoid muscle.
  • PEG (polyethylene glycol) is present. It facilitates the spread of the lipid nanoparticles through the body and helps the immune system be BYPASSED. So does this DAMPEN our immune system’s ability instead of enhancing it? It’s a lot of speculation at this point, but we do know that the spike protein spreads throughout the body.
  • These vaccines have not been adequately tested yet we’re giving it to kids. The only part that has been tested is the lipid nanotechnology, not the vaccine itself.
  • We were told there weren’t any shortcuts being taken, yet there have been lots. The historical animal studies, from which we can draw some information, are not appropriate for human subjects.  Mass vaccination of children demands an exceptionally high level of safety.
  • Members of the media, some politicians as well as medical people (100s of physicians) have all spoken to him privately – he is here today to represent them.
  • Canadians must ask if they want their doctors and researchers to be suppressed.

‘Right now, I don’t recognize the country I was born into. Let us learn to respect one another once again.’

Dr. Patrick Philips

  • Lockdowns have brought harms that he’s never seen before, such as suicides and cases of metastatic cancer.
  • In April, The College of Physicians of Ontario issued a statement whereby doctors can’t communicate statements critical of the government’s covid policy(vaccines, masks, distancing, alternative treatments, etc.) REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS.
  • Treatments exist with lots of peer reviewed studies behind them for the success of VITAMIN D and IVERMECTIN. This information has been criticized by the College of Physicians. This is wrong and unconscionable.

‘The underpinning of Science is open debate’

Dr. Donald Welsh

  • Science has not been functioning for the past 15 months.
  • All Covid measures have failed and caused harms that will take years to overcome.
  • Canada needs a royal commission to investigate the public response to the virus crisis.
