GLA Grantee Publishes Two Studies in Leading Journal

https://www.globallymealliance.org/news/gla-grantee-publishes-two-pivotal-studies-in-leading-journal?

April 23, 2025–Global Lyme Alliance (GLA) is proud to announce that Dr. Brandon Jutras, a GLA grantee and researcher at Northwestern University, has published two pivotal studies in Science Translational Medicine, which were selected for the journal’s cover, highlighting the significance and innovation of the work.

The twin studies were published online today. In the first study, Dr. Jutras and his team demonstrate that fragments of the Borrelia burgdorferi cell wall, called peptidoglycan, can persist in the livers of mice and in the joints of patients with Lyme arthritis. These bacterial remnants may act as a trigger for continued inflammation even after the infection has been treated. 

In the second study, the researchers explore the use of piperacillin, a beta-lactam antibiotic, as a novel therapeutic strategy in Lyme disease. While piperacillin was highly effective at killing B. burgdorferi in both in vitro models and mice, it was shown to cause less disruption to the gut microbiome than other commonly used antibiotics, an important advantage in reducing unintended harm to beneficial bacteria.

“The new publications represent a significant step forward in Lyme disease research, at a time when the geographic range of Lyme disease–transmitting ticks is expanding and more individuals are at risk of both acute infection and long-term complications” said GLA’s Chief Scientific Officer, Armin Alaedini, PhD. “Dr. Jutras’s research provides important insights into how bacterial remnants may contribute to persistent inflammation and points to promising new directions for both diagnosis and therapeutic intervention.”

GLA’s funding of these studies is part of its ongoing mission to advance innovative, high-impact science that can transform outcomes for the millions affected by Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

**Comment**

I hate to let the air out of the balloon but this is not new news.  Knowing that bacterial fragments can cause inflammation has been studied ad nauseum:

When is persistent infection going to be studied?

We need a redo regarding Lyme/MSIDS research.  It’s all based upon a false premise by those with conflicts of interest:

Warning: graphic photos in Dr. Kory’s illuminating article.

Thankfully, the silver lining of COVID woke many up to the relentless corruption and fraud in our own government, in medicine, in research, etc. So many humble, cheap, effective remedies have been purposely maligned and banned from the public due to greed and conflicts of interest.

One of these remedies is CDS – which some call MMS – or chlorine dioxide.

The Good, Bad, and Ugly of Lyme Disease

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Lyme Disease

April 29,2025

A Tale of Three Outcomes

“I thought I was better… until I wasn’t.”

That’s what one of my patients told me after completing a standard course of antibiotics for Lyme disease. At first, she felt relief—less pain, more energy. But weeks later, the fatigue crept back in. Then the brain fog. Then the joint pain that kept her up at night. What began as a simple tick bite turned into a complex journey through symptoms, misdiagnoses, and delayed treatment.

When it comes to Lyme disease, patients deserve to know the whole story—not just the optimistic version. As a doctor who has treated Lyme disease for decades, I’ve come to describe it in three stages: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Understanding these stages can change the course of your care—and your life.


The Good: Early Detection and Recovery

Let’s start with the good news.

If Lyme disease is diagnosed early—usually within days to a few weeks of a tick bite—and treated appropriately with antibiotics, most patients recover fully. Many return to work, school, parenting, and sports without ever looking back. They remember the tick bite, the rash, or flu-like symptoms, but the story ends there. Life goes back to normal.

This is what we hope for every patient.

But unfortunately, not every Lyme disease story ends this way.


The Bad: Lingering Symptoms and Frustration

Now, let’s talk about the bad.

Some patients complete their antibiotics and still feel unwell. They may face months or even years of persistent symptoms:

• Fatigue that makes it hard to get through the day

• Brain fog that affects memory and focus

• Aching joints or nerve pain that comes and goes

This is often labeled Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS)—a term that can be both validating and limiting. Many patients feel dismissed when told there’s no further treatment option, only time and patience. Yet they’re still sick—and they want answers.

Sometimes, this “bad” outcome is not just the aftermath of Lyme—it’s a sign of a persistent infection, an undiagnosed co-infection like Babesia or Bartonella, or even a misdiagnosis.


The Ugly: Chronic, Misunderstood, and Life-Altering

And then there’s the ugly truth.

For some, Lyme disease doesn’t go away. It becomes chronic—a condition that disrupts every aspect of life. These patients often endure:

• Severe, unrelenting fatigue

• Chronic pain or neurological symptoms

• Anxiety, depression, and even cognitive decline

• Loss of income, relationships, and identity

They see specialist after specialist, undergo test after test, and are often told, “There’s nothing more we can do.” Some are misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or even psychological conditions.

This stage is often preventable, especially if we don’t delay treatment or dismiss symptoms when they don’t follow the textbook path.


Why Knowing the Full Story Matters

Whether your Lyme disease experience falls into the good, the bad, or the ugly category, knowing the potential outcomes helps you make informed decisions.

Patients who understand:

• That Lyme disease can persist

• That co-infections exist

• That early treatment matters

• That healing may require time and patience

… are more likely to seek the right care, ask the right questions, and avoid falling through the cracks of the medical system.


Final Thoughts from a Lyme Disease Expert

If you’ve been diagnosed with Lyme disease—or suspect you have it—don’t settle for a one-size-fits-all answer. Listen to your body. Trust your instincts. And don’t be afraid to advocate for care that goes beyond the standard playbook.

Because Lyme disease isn’t just a rash and a few weeks of antibiotics.  Sometimes, it’s a long road—and patients deserve guidance every step of the way.

WHO Pandemic Treaty Draft Finalized

According to the WHO, member states have concluded negotiations and have made significant progress on a draft pandemic agreement with a proposal to be submitted to the WHO assembly in May.

What the organization fails to mention is that the original pandemic treaty has been drug behind donkeys for three and a half long years yielding numerous versions – all of which usurp national sovereignty and supersede the Constitution.

Most of the world is now awakened to the WHO, and isn’t buying what they are selling.

Some countries are rejecting the treaty.

“It’s a global coup d-etat, against which it is essential that people rise up.” ~ Archbishop Vigano

Stand for Health Freedom recently posted that some countries will likely approve this draft because it doesn’t have any teeth; however, without clear legislative action from Congress, a future U.S. president could unilaterally re-engage with WHO treaty mechanisms, reinstating commitments through executive authority alone.

WHO’s Original Pandemic Treaty Defeated

The original treaty tried to get every nation state to sign over the power to the WHO to declare pandemics, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and vaccine passports.  

While some countries have rejected this global takeover by unelected elites, many remain unaware of the deep seeded corruption in the WHO, a U.N agency, which is currently in a racket that charges $100,000 per ‘vaccine’ to be ‘prequalified.’  The organization has currently ‘prequalified’ 272 ‘vaccines.’

According to Dr. David Martin:

WHO is a Criminal Cartel Involved in Criminal Conspiracy Resulting in Global Terrorism For The Purpose of Profiteering and Global Genocide.” 

While the WHO has lost support from President Trump after he ordered a withdrawal from the UN, the actual Executive Order states:  The United States intends to withdraw from the WHO. While the order has been signed, the current administration is already back-peddling and may consider rejoining.

And before you get too excited about the toothless treaty, the U.S. is still a part of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), which is the American branch of the WHO. 

It’s never straight forward or easy.

James Roguski has been an outspoken critic of the WHO’s attempt to control the globe and has offered “Top Ten Reasons to Reject WHO’s Pandemic Agreement.”

He also shared “50 Persistent Risks in WHO Proposed Pandemic Agreement” which includes sovereignty and governance threats, medical ethics and freedom concerns, scientific integrity issues, property rights and resource control, and implementation and biosecurity concerns.  

At this hinge moment, with the dreams of the world’s peoples precariously in the balance, neutrality is complicity and silence is acquiescence.
Go here to sign the petitions to stop the treaty and nullify the IHR amendments.

Go here for information on H.R. 1498 a bill to get the U.S. out of the UN and the WHO.

Trust me when I say the UN and the WHO will never give up.

We need to remain vigilant and speak now.

This “Build Back Better” montage perfectly demonstrates the orchestrated plan known as The Great Reset by globalist perpetrators who want stakeholder capitalism and who smugly credit the COVID ‘plandemic’ for the opportunity to control every aspect of the world including health/medical care.  Many have been reporting on this global plan which also includes the U.N. Agenda 21 and supposed global sustainability.

According to author Rosa Koire (RIP) who wrote “Behind the Green Mask,” the plan will be implemented worldwide to inventory and control all land, water, minerals, plants, animals, construction, means of production, energy, education, information, and human beings.

Unveiling Hidden Parasites: The Connection to Lyme and Mold Illness

My Lyme Doc

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection spread by ticks. It causes flu-like symptoms and a characteristic bullseye rash. Studies estimate that anywhere from 40-80% of Lyme disease patients are also infected with parasites. This is far higher than the general population. So there’s a connection to between parasites and Lyme disease.

While the bacteria that causes Lyme – Borrelia burgdorferi – is well known, research shows there may be another factor that exacerbates Lyme symptoms: parasites.

Possible Reasons Why there’s an Overlap Between Lyme Disease and Parasites

  • Tick connection – Ticks can transmit parasitic organisms like Babesia in addition to the Lyme bacteria. Getting bitten by an infected tick raises risk for both.
  • Suppressed immunity – The Lyme bacteria impairs immune function. This makes the body more susceptible to parasites and other infections.
  • Chronic symptoms – Lyme and parasites both cause similar long-lasting symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and neurological issues. Having both could worsen symptoms.
  • Undetected parasites – Parasites often go undiagnosed. Doctors look for the Lyme bacteria but may miss parasites existing simultaneously in the body.

Common Parasitic Co-Infections with Lyme Disease

A number of parasitic organisms have been found in Lyme patients. The most common include:

  • Babesia – Babesia are malaria-like parasites transmitted by ticks. They infect and destroy red blood cells.
  • Bartonella – Bartonella causes cat scratch fever. It may get into the blood from tick or flea bites.
  • Toxoplasma – Toxoplasma is a parasite found in undercooked meat and cat feces. It forms cysts that hide out in the body.
  • Giardia – Giardia parasites causes “traveler’s diarrhea.” It spreads through contaminated food and water.
  • Cryptosporidium – Another diarrheal illness, often spread through contaminated swimming pools and water.
  • Whipworm, tapeworm, flukeworm – Intestinal parasites that can impair gut health and nutrient absorption.  (See link for article)

When & How to Treat Parasites in Lyme Disease

By Dr. Marty Ross

When & How to Kill Intestinal Parasites in Lyme disease Image from Marty Ross MD

Updated: 3/28/23

Article excerpt on treatment:

If you can identify which parasite you have, use the prescription medicine that is shown to work best for that specific parasite.

If you are unable to figure out which parasite you have, then treat using one of the prescription options below or with the natural medicine option. Note that based on my experience, I find the prescription options to work well about 85-90 percent of the time. The natural medicine options seem to work about 60 percent of the time.

Prescriptions

In my experience, Alinia works best but is quite expensive. Alinia is a universal anti-parasite medication that should work against most parasites. For more information, see Alinia: When & Why in Lyme Disease Treatment.

  • Alinia 500 mg 1 pill 2 times a day for 3 weeks, or
  • Biltricide 600 mg 1 pill 3 times a day for 3 days, then 21 days after the first pill take 1 pill 3 times a day for 3 more days.

Natural Medicines

Black walnut is a natural medicine used in parasite regimens based on its traditional use for this purpose. However, limited to non-existent science shows it works. Also, artemisinin and oregano oil may help. Use one of the two options below for at least two months.

Option One

Take all three of these herbal medicines at the same time.

  • Black Walnut 250 mg to 500 mg 3 times daily.
  • Artemisinin 100 mg 2 pills 3 times a day.
  • Oregano Oil 500 mg 3 times a day.

Option Two

Use Biocidin liquid drops or capsules. Biocidin is an herbal mix that has a number of herbs in it that may treat parasites. Two of these are black walnut and oregano. In addition, some of the other agents appear helpful. For more information, see Biocidin: A Potent Antimicrobial & Biofilm Breaker.

  • Biocidin Liquid. Start at 2 drops on the tongue 3 times a day and increase every other day by 1 drop per dose until you reach 10 drops 3 times a day. If you develop a Herxheimer die-off reaction, do not increase until it passes. Take without food, meaning at least 30 minutes before food and more than 2 hours after food.
  • Biocidin Capsules. Start at 1 capsule 2 times a day and after 2 days increase to 1 capsule 3 times a day. Every 2 days, add 1 capsule until you reach 2 capsules 3 times a day. If you develop a Herxheimer die-off reaction, do not increase until it passes. Take without food, meaning at least 30 minutes before food and more than 2 hours after food.
