Why You Still Feel Sick After Standard Lyme Treatment
Dr. Jaquel Patterson
June 10, 2026
Lyme disease rarely travels alone, and unaddressed co-infections like Bartonella, Babesia, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Mycoplasma, and Rickettsia are some of the most common reasons chronic Lyme patients don’t recover. In this video, I walk through how each co-infection is distinct, why standard Lyme antibiotics don’t cover them, and what a truly comprehensive testing and treatment approach should look like.

And this, right here, is why many patients are not better and never get better. Further, testing absolutely sucks. ALL of it. Pathogens working together create a severe clinical picture. Many of these pathogens require completely different medications. Mainstream doctors are clueless on all of this and have furthered an antiquated, unscientific case definition and treatment protocol for over 40 years.
It is far, far more complex than most doctors are aware. They spend very little time studying this in med school and what they do study is completely wrong.
There are very few headlines that catch my eye. This one was surprising but not unexpected, since ticks are known to spread via travel on birds (and air travel has become more expensive these days, as I just found out after booking several flights). Here is the news release that made me pay more attention:
So what exactly is the ‘new type of Lyme disease (LD)’? It’s a strain of LD that is not normally found in NY State. Its Borrelia mayonii. The CDC just reported on it in their MMWR report. Here is a brief summary:
[From: Nafiz TN, Prusinski MA, Gubbala S, et al. Notes from the Field: Borrelia mayonii Lyme Disease — New York, 2025. MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep 2026;75:271–272. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15585/mmwr.mm7521a2]
This is an important case study, because B. mayonii clinically presents differently than an infection with Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), so we need to understand how to properly diagnose and treat it if it is being found in new areas. (See link for article)

**Comment**
Dr. Horowitz points out that the rash with B. mayonii is not the ‘classic’ rash seen with Bb, which isn’t so classic either, and highly variable – although it’s completely diagnostic, proving infection – no testing even required. If you have the rash, you are infected, period.
But there is concern for more severe systemic illness with B. mayonii due to a high level of spirochetes in the blood.

GMO Mosquitoes, Weaponized Ticks & Brain Chips: The 6G Control Grid Exposed w/ Nicolas Hulscher
Google just filed to release 64 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes across California and Florida, alpha-gal syndrome has surged 10,000% since 2013 making people violently allergic to red meat, and 6G, the network being quietly built right now, is designed to interface directly with brain chips inside the human body. In this episode, epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher of the McCullough Foundation connects all of it: engineered insects, tick-borne bioterrorism, the Gates Foundation’s fingerprints across both, and the transhumanist control grid being assembled in plain sight.

Abstract
Background and Purpose
Pineal gland calcification (PGC) affects over 60% of adults globally yet is routinely classified as a benign incidental radiological finding. This paper argues that PGC represents a significant and underinvestigated convergent mechanism in age-related pathology, with downstream consequences spanning circadian dysregulation, melatonin decline, oxidative stress, amyloid-beta accumulation, and neuropsychiatric vulnerability.
Methods
We synthesize peer-reviewed evidence across five domains: (1) epidemiology of PGC prevalence; (2) biochemistry of hydroxyapatite formation and its inhibitors; (3) environmental and physiological contributors including fluoride exposure and chronic stress; (4) melatonin pathway disruption and its systemic consequences; and (5) associations between PGC and neurological disease, including Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and Parkinson’s disease.
Conclusions
Convergent mechanistic and epidemiological evidence supports reconceptualizing PGC as a modifiable pathological process rather than an incidental finding. Known crystallization inhibitors — magnesium, phytate, pyrophosphate, and vitamin K2 — represent plausible preventive interventions warranting prospective clinical investigation. We propose a unified three-stage mechanistic model and a research agenda for longitudinal and interventional studies. (See link for article)
If “[s]equencing alone cannot determine whether transmission has been continuous or sustained,” how much of modern outbreak science is proven reality—and how much is interpretation?
A new ProPublica investigation into purported measles outbreaks in Texas and Utah contains a quietly devastating admission from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about the limits of modern genomic outbreak surveillance.
ProPublica had asked the CDC whether it had linked any of Utah’s measles cases to an international outbreak.
“Sequencing alone cannot determine whether transmission has been continuous or sustained,” the agency told ProPublica.
In plain English:
Even if two purported measles genomes appear almost identical computationally, the sequencing data itself cannot independently prove the virus spread continuously from person to person across states and over time.
That distinction is important because modern outbreak systems increasingly rely on a narrative of:
genomic sequencing,
phylogenetic “family trees,”
mutation tracking,
lineage reconstruction,
and computational epidemiology
to support claims that outbreaks are connected, transmission is ongoing, and diseases have become “endemic.”
These same systems were heavily used during COVID to justify lockdowns, vaccine mandates, school closures, quarantine powers, travel restrictions, and other unprecedented government response measures.
How much of modern outbreak science is proven reality—and how much is computer interpretation?
If even CDC admits these genomic systems cannot independently prove continuous real-world transmission, the public may need to reconsider how much trust should be placed in media headlines, “variant” narratives, endemicity claims, and government emergency measures built on computer sequence-based outbreak interpretation systems.

CDC Officials Involuntarily Quarantine Americans After Hantavirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship
by Carolyn Hendler, JD
Published June 10, 2026
Officials at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued mandatory federal quarantine orders to 18 American citizens who had been passengers aboard the M/V Hondius, an expedition cruise ship on which there was an outbreak of the deadly Andes strain of hantavirus. None of the 18 Americans had tested positive for the respiratory virus at the time the involuntary quarantine orders were issued.1
The orders required the Americans to be sent to and remain in the federally funded National Quarantine Unit (NQU) at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, through at least May 31, 2026. Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who leads both the CDC and the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) signed the quarantine orders. Bhattacharya is a co-author of the Great Barrington Declaration, which was written to protest the government’s lockdown policies in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.2
Several passengers who had been on the cruise ship had already made arrangements with their state and local health departments to be monitored at home. However, all 18 passengers were informed at the last minute that they would not be allowed to return home and instead would be forced to stay in the NQU.3
Angela Perryman, 47, was among the 18 Americans ordered to remain in quarantine at the Nebraska facility.4 Despite federal health officials publicly stating that the passengers’ stay at NQU was entirely voluntary, when Perryman and another passenger attempted to leave, they were handed federal stay-in-place quarantine orders.5 Anyone violating the quarantine orders issued by the government would face a criminal fine or up to one year in jail.6
Perryman told NPR:
I am angry. I feel betrayed because I’m being imprisoned. It’s a nice prison. But this is a prison. Let’s be clear: I am being detained against my will.7
The U.S. government has been funding gain-of-function hantavirus experiments since at least 2017.
A July 2025 Pathogens publication confirms the U.S. military funded experiments aerosolizing hantavirus pathogens (making them airborne) with a 30% fatality rate.
Less than a year after the publication, the Andes hantavirus cruise ship outbreak would be declared.
Moreover, NIAID’s $70 million PROVIDENT program actively funded and operated a large-scale hantavirus preparedness initiative that engineered vaccine platforms, mapped Andes hantavirus structures in unprecedented detail, developed rapid-response countermeasure systems, and prioritized hantaviruses as future pandemic targets in the run-up to the 2026 international Andes hantavirus outbreak.
The Andes hantavirus genome was built from human blood at the infamous U.S. military biolab Fort Detrick.
Recent genetic analysis finds that hantavirus PCR test sequences—used to count cases—also match human DNA, raising concerns that the test is mistaking human genetic material for hantavirus.
The government’s hantavirus research, surveillance, genome-construction, and countermeasure infrastructure was already fully operational before the 2026 outbreak narrative emerged.
Kennedy has now invoked federal liability protections for favipiravir that is not approved anywhere in the world for hantavirus treatment and was only conditionally authorized in Japan for pandemic influenza—yet is now being positioned for use on Americans.
Preclinical animal studies have shown that favipiravir has the risk of teratogenicity and reproductive toxicity in experimental animals, including findings indicative of birth defects in mice, rats, rabbits, and monkeys, along with decreases in live fetal body weight and in the number of live fetuses.
