“What is happening here is criminal and if you don’t believe me, ask ANYONE with Lyme.”

All Tuttle family members experienced this travesty so everything you are about to read in this Facebook post is true and it has been ongoing for three decades. It is criminal and all a result of the rush to create a vaccine. A chronic relapsing seronegative disease does not fit the business model of patent royalties, vaccine development and pharmaceutical profits. So deny the chronically infected and your patent royalties continue to reap benefits. 

In other words, patent royalties and pharmaceutical profits over lifesaving care.

Those who have colluded to suppress evidence of antibiotic resistance (chronic Lyme) should be prosecuted and sent to jail.

Everyone happy with the way our Public Health Officials handled Covid?? The sick and disabled Lyme community has been SHOUTING from the rooftops for decades!!! Everyone knows someone who has been horribly affected by Lyme disease… SHARE WIDELY!!!

I’ve tried explaining this a few times and I won’t stop until people get it. This isn’t like cancer or any other disease where I can go to a Dr that’s covered by my insurance and receive treatment. What is happening here is criminal and if you don’t believe me, ask ANYONE with Lyme.

First, you have to get a Dr to agree to do a Lyme test. Don’t ask me why but they don’t like doing them. Most Dr’s believe Lyme is extremely rare. It’s not btw so if they agree to do it, great. Now you’re gonna go home for up to 10 days while you wait on this test. In the meantime, you’re gonna be sick as hell. You’re gonna be so tired you can’t get up. You’re gonna be dizzy even while lying down. You’re gonna see floaters in your eyes 24/7. When you get up to pee, your legs are gonna weigh 500 pounds. You’re gonna feel like your insides are on fire. You’re gonna not have much of an appetite and you’re gonna possibly lose weight. Now imagine having Ebola and you can’t get any meds because hey, you’re waiting on that test. Now imagine that test comes back with two bands. They are looking for antibodies to Borrelia. Ok, so you got two bands. Dr tells you it’s negative. The CDC says you have to have FIVE bands. You go home and you don’t get better, but hey Dr says you don’t have Lyme. There is no reason to have five bands other than outright lies and denying Lyme exists. Any bands mean you have Borrelia. Now there’s IGG AND IGM. IGM means you have active Borrelia in your blood. IGG means past infection. Drs don’t even know how to read these tests. Do you get that? They don’t know. I had to educate myself. So let’s say my Dr told me I was negative and I didn’t know any better and was sent home. Do you realize what that means? That means to this day I wouldn’t know what was wrong with me. Now let’s move to the next step, let’s say the Dr believes you and says ok you have Lyme. Now you’re gonna get Doxy for a week or two. Do you understand that you can’t get better in that short amount of time? Don’t believe me? Find me one person that did. Just ONE! You can’t. It takes a minimum of 3-6 months. That’s minimum!!!! Ok, so now you’ve got your two weeks of doxy and you’re supposed to be better now. Are you getting it yet?

Now all this time you’ve probably needed IV ABX and if you’re not one of the lucky ones that got that, guess what’s happening? As you’re body is infested with Borrelia, it’s now drilled itself into your tissues. Remember I told you Borrelia is the cousin of syphillis and it’s a corkscrew shaped bacteria that is literally drilling into every tissue. Brain, heart, lungs, thyroid, etc., Now you’ve got arthritis, now you have heart problems, thyroid problems. Now you’re really sick. Guess what comes next? You start reading. You realize you’re in big trouble. You call your Dr back. They say look you’re on the Doxy so you go to two more specialists. They do more bloodwork, tests, MRI’s, CT scans, but they can’t find anything wrong with you. All the tests are great! You’re a specimen of great health!

If you’re still with me, hang in there, this is where it gets good. So you have enough sense still to start researching, and you realize you probably have other diseases the tick gave you called co infections (Babesia, Bartonella, etc.,) You try to get your Dr to test for those. Well, maybe insurance will cover that. Maybe not. So here’s where Lyme _ _ _ _ _ you every which way. Your immune system has now shut down. Just like AIDS so now you’re lucky if you show up positive for these things because you’re body isn’t making antibodies. You still following me? Here’s where it gets good. You start hearing about Lyme Dr’s. You’re like great! Finally! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ help! But you call and they say cash only. We don’t accept insurance. You’re like what kind of nightmare am I in? Here’s where you’re in trouble if you don’t have the money. Now what do you do? Who’s gonna help you without being able to pay these Lyme drs. And you have to be careful, there’s a lot of Dr’s out there preying on the weak and desperate and that’s exactly what we are by this point. Even these celebrities who have millions are trying anything to get well. You haven’t seen anything like Lyme in your life! I’m tired of trying to explain what we go though. We don’t want your sympathy! We want you to care enough to change our laws! There are so many out here suffering and it should be a crime what’s happening! The testing is inaccurate. The treatment doesn’t work (that doxy for a few weeks) its not enough. Now imagine you’re this sick with Lyme (Borellia) and all these co infections. Lyme isn’t done with you yet. Now that immune system I told you about. Now anything you’ve ever had is going to come out because your immune system can’t fight it off. You ever had chicken pox? You got it now in addition to Lyme. You ever had hand, foot, and mouth. Yeah, me either but I do now because I clearly have been exposed to it probably from my kids. Ever had cold sores? You do now! Do you get it yet? What does this sound like? It sounds like AIDS doesn’t it? It sounds like an immunosuppressive person. Welp, try getting a Dr to see it that way. Now add into all that _ _ _ _ show people telling you you’re not that sick. Add into that everyday life that goes on whether you’re sick or not. Lyme has an astronomical suicide rate. Do you still need to ask why? If you know someone with Lyme, please share this post

Any questions?

4,376 Treated, Zero Deaths: What This Clinic Got Right About Early COVID Care

The Independent Journal of Medicine is currently free to access for all. Download the latest issue today!

Independent Medical Alliance
May 09, 2025

A newly published review in the Journal of Independent Medicine presents compelling data from a southern California clinic that treated thousands of COVID-19 patients during the height of the pandemic—with outcomes that significantly outperformed regional and national trends. Among 3,962 patients with mild COVID-19 who received early outpatient treatment, there were zero deaths and only two hospitalizations (0.05%).

The review, authored by IMA Senior Fellow Dr. Brian Tyson and colleagues at All Valley Urgent Care (AVUC), documents a pragmatic, real-world approach to care built on clinical vigilance, close patient follow-up, and the strategic use of repurposed medicines. The results add weight to a growing body of observational data supporting early intervention as a critical factor in preventing COVID-19 progression and death.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

It’s important to note the study was completed YEARS ago but was repeatedly rejected by bought-out journals.  The only reason the information is peer reviewed, published, and seeing the light of day is due to the new Journal of Independent Medicine. 

COVID was the red pill many doctors and researchers needed, and the silver lining is journal, media, government, and medical corruption has been exposed.

Every California patient in the clinic received empiric treatment at the time of presentation—often before test results were available—and was monitored closely through in-person or telemedicine follow-up.

Treatments included combinations of ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin, doxycycline, corticosteroids (both oral and injectable), monoclonal antibodies, and nutraceuticals such as zinc, quercetin, vitamin C, and vitamin D3.T

The California clinic stands in contrast to centralized public health response that typically discouraged outpatient care altogether, focusing instead on late-stage hospitalization and experimental pharmaceutical interventions. While new, on-patent expensive drugs were prioritized, the California physicians pursued cost-effective, repurposed and natural options that could be widely deployed.

GLA Grantee Publishes Two Studies in Leading Journal

GLA Grantee Publishes Two Pivotal Studies in Leading Journal

by Admin at Global Lyme Alliance on April 23, 2025

<span id="hs_cos_wrapper_name" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_meta_field hs_cos_wrapper_type_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="meta_field" data-hs-cos-type="text" >GLA Grantee Publishes Two Pivotal Studies in Leading Journal</span>

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.

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

Posted By: Dr. Daniel Cameron
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.
