Lyme Questions Answered and Mighty Methylene Blue

https://mailchi.mp/3e52484072a9/4i7vbuaut5-4797205

Conversations with Marty Ross MD: 1/9/25

Good Morning,

I enjoyed answering your questions on Wednesday night.

We discussed:

  1. Introduction and Webinar Format. Dr. Marty Ross explained the structure of his Lyme disease webinar, outlining guidelines for participation, including the use of the chat box for submitting questions, and detailed plans to provide session recordings and summaries.
  2. Addressing Sleep Jerks and Neurological Symptoms. Severe sleep jerks occurring when falling asleep were attributed to neurological irritation caused by infections like Bartonella, Borrelia, or mold toxicity, and potential remedies including curcumin, glutathione, and GABA-boosting supplements were discussed.
  3. Managing Nervous System Agitation. Strategies to calm the nervous system included treating infections, detoxifying mold, using anti-inflammatory supplements like curcumin and glutathione, and calming nerves directly via GABA enhancers such as L-theanine.
  4. Ozone and IV Vitamin C may Cause Nerve Damage. The use of oxidizing agents like IV vitamin C and UV ozone can worsen oxidation injury in tick-borne infection patients, with Dr. Ross warning against their potential nerve-damaging effects.
  5. Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. While hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may aid in neurological healing and support mitochondria, it is often ineffective for directly killing infections based on clinical experiences.
  6. Exploring White Blood Cell Counts in Tick-Borne Infections. Chronic infections like Borrelia, Bartonella, or Babesia often cause reduced neutrophil counts, which may normalize over time with effective treatment.
  7. Pregnancy Considerations and Tick-Borne Disease Testing. Pregnancy planning was addressed with recommendations for comprehensive infection testing, symptom-tracking, and considerations for treatment strategies that align with maternal and fetal health.
  8. Re-testing for Infections to See Where Your Are Is Not Accurate. Retesting for tick-borne infections was deemed unreliable as antibodies can fluctuate; instead, tracking symptoms was suggested as a better measure of disease progression.
  9. Indirect vs Direct Testing for Borrelia. Dr. Ross explained the differences in sensitivity between indirect (antibody-based) and direct (PCR or culture) testing methods, emphasizing the limitations of direct tests in chronic infections.
  10. Babesia Treatment Length before Pregnancy. Recommendations for treating Babesia included maintaining a five-month treatment course, balanced with probiotics and potential yeast management, to optimize health before pregnancy.
  11. Addressing Gastrointestinal Symptoms during Treatment. GI symptoms during antimicrobial treatment were linked to gut flora disturbance and potential yeast overgrowth, calling for probiotics and antifungal options like Nystatin or CapriPlus.
  12. Management of Cytokines and Herx Reactions. Elevated cytokines causing inflammation and herx reactions were addressed with anti-inflammatory interventions, including quercetin or curcumin, and glutathione supplementation.
  13. Best Ways to Lower Cytokines and to Control Herx. Suggestions to lessen herx reactions included increasing glutathione levels and using quercetin for both anti-inflammatory and mast cell-stabilizing effects.
  14. Meaning of a Single White Brain Lesion on MRI. A single white lesion on MRI is typically attributed to aging or limited blood flow rather than Lyme disease, which usually exhibits diffuse demyelination patterns.
  15. You Don’t Have to Herx to Make Progress. Not all patients experience herx reactions during treatment, yet progress is still possible, particularly as the germ load decreases over time.
  16. Methylene Blue and Its Uses. Methylene blue was recognized as a therapy for both Borrelia and Bartonella due to its efficacy against persister cells, as well as for its FDA-approved use in addressing methemoglobinemia. Go here for a sound warning of methylene blue, which is a man-made monoamine oxidase inhibitor.  Animal and human studies have shown that when monoamine neurotransmitters are over-activated it eventually makes those taking it subdued, apathetic and disengaged from their own feelings, those around them, and life itself.
  17. Methylene Blue for Improved Thinking and Mitochondria Function. Beyond pathogen-killing properties, methylene blue improves mitochondrial function, aids ATP production, and has shown promise for reducing brain fog and increasing energy.
  18. Potential Risks and Side Effects of Methylene Blue. Risks of methylene blue include bladder irritation, intestinal discomfort, and staining issues, though real-world human risks are minimal when dosed properly.
  19. Mitochondrial Function and Repair. Recommendations for repairing mitochondrial damage included supplements like glutathione and ATP 360 to enhance cellular energy production.
  20. Exploring Histamine Reactions. Unusual reactions like hives or hyperactive histamine levels during treatment were linked to mast cell activation, which can be managed with stabilizers and antihistamines.
  21. Taking Enzymes and EDTA. Potential interactions between enzymes and EDTA supplements were addressed, with Dr. Ross advising additional research to confirm compatibility.
  22. Impact of Biocidin on Direct Testing Results. Biocidin, containing antimicrobial ingredients like oregano oil and garlic, may reduce the accuracy of direct tests like PCR by lowering pathogen levels in the blood.
  23. Causes of Visual Issues. Neuropathic visual challenges like light sensitivity and convergence insufficiency were discussed as possible symptoms of Bartonella, Borrelia, or mold toxicity.
  24. Causes of Air Hunger. Air hunger, frequently caused by Babesia or Bartonella, results from disrupted oxygen delivery due to inflamed red blood cells or reduced red blood cell quantity.
  25. Muscle Contractions and Spasms. Severe muscle spasms were linked to magnesium deficiency or neurological irritation, with treatment approaches including supplements and anti-inflammatory support.
  26. Thoughts on Steps if You Are Not Getting Better. Persistent illness despite treatment prompted considerations for comprehensive reviews of treatment history and potential alternative strategies like addressing limbic system dysregulation.
  27. Role of Limbic System Retraining for Chronic Symptoms. Limbic system retraining methods such as dynamic neural retraining (DNRS) were recommended for addressing chronic illness patterns after addressing active infections.
  28. Senescent Cells may Cause Ongoing Inflammation and Chronic Symptoms. Cell senescence caused by infections may perpetuate inflammation, with solutions including senolytics, fasting mimicking diets, and autophagy-promoting supplements.
  29. Timing of Limbic System Retraining and Physical Medicine. Brain retraining exercises and somatic therapies are best initiated after active infections are controlled to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
  30. Evaluating ZenMen for Bartonella. The herbal formula ZenMen showed promise in addressing Bartonella but lacked sufficient evidence on effectiveness or ingredient concentrations for strong recommendations.
  31. Role of Ketotifen for Mast Cell Activation. Ketotifen was highlighted as an effective option for calming histamine-driven nervous system agitation by blocking histamines and stabilizing mast cells

I’ve never heard of ozone and IV C causing nerve damage.  Ever.  My LLMD uses this as a mainstay in treatment and would never use them if they in fact caused nerve damage. Of course the toxin is always in the dose.

Dr. Hoffe Free at Last: Canary in a COVID World

For those of you unfamiliar with Dr. Hoffe, he’s the one who started doing D-dimer tests on patients complaining of health issues after getting the COVID jab.  He found that 62% of these people had micro-clotting, the results of which have been catastrophically seen by embalmers since the jab roll out as well as hyperinflammatory responses, coagulation disorders, and heart issues.

Rather than being commended for his astute thinking, he was threatened with disciplinary action for publicly speaking of his findings.  The following show how he was right all along:

  • Research published in April 2021 showed aspirin reduced COVID-19 patients’ need for mechanical ventilation by 44%, ICU admission by 43% and mortality by 47%.
  • Proteolytic enzymes (bromelain, NAC, nattokinase, curcumin) have been used successfully for persistent spike protein as well as long-COVID (not to mention Lyme/MSIDS).

Dr. Charles Hoffe: Free at Last, but the Battle for Truth Continues

All Charges Dropped

Now, after years of relentless attacks, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia has dropped all charges against Dr. Charles Hoffe. It is a victory for truth—but a bitter one. His career, his practice, and years of his life were taken from him. The damage cannot be undone.

We are incredibly honored that Dr. Hoffe contributed Chapter 6 to Canary in a (Post) Covid World: Money, Fear, and Power (Volume 2). From the beginning, we knew he was telling the truth. His courage to speak out, despite the overwhelming pressure to remain silent, embodies exactly what the Canaries stand for—integrity, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of truth.

Dr. Hoffe, a small-town doctor in British Columbia, was one of the first physicians to sound the alarm on COVID-19 vaccine injuries—only to be silenced and persecuted for doing so. A true Canary, he saw firsthand the harm unfolding in his own patients, yet governments and health officials denied the dangers, doubling down on their “safe and effective”narrative. For his honesty, he was censored, stripped of his ability to practice medicine, and relentlessly attacked.

But he was never alone. Behind the scenes, many courageous individuals—including fellow Canaries Dr. Jessica Rose, Dr. Peter McCullough, and Dr. Pierre Kory—worked tirelessly to expose the truth and defend his integrity. Their collective efforts helped bring undeniable evidence to light, making it impossible for the authorities to justify their case against him.

In Integrity Under Fire (Chapter 6), Hoffe takes readers on a gripping journey through the harrowing events that led to his downfall—and his unwavering resolve to stand by his patients. He details the suppression of early treatment, the real-world vaccine injury patterns he documented, and the brutal pushback he faced for daring to ask questions. His work paints a picture of a global medical establishment determined to ignore harm and punish dissenters.  (See link for article)

With our Knowledge or Consent

Crimes against humanity and environment – can we survive?

For several years when I initially had sores on my body I thought I had a dermatology condition that the doctors could not figure out. More and more people began to get it and I tried to help bring awareness to the condition because it was being ignored. I went on the Dr Phil show trying to get national awareness of this horrid disease but even that did nothing. Some people thought it was due to genetically modified organisms, as in agrobacteria, glyphosate GMO… and I thought along those lines as well. Then some other people began putting lots of information out about nonotechnology and transhumanism and I really thought they were in left field – now come on REALLY – the doctors think we are crazy by just telling them about the disease so now we are subjects of a transhuman conspiracy – yeah right. I simply could not get my head around that concept at that point in time.

But, admittedly, everything about this disease was beyond comprehension: fibers growing inside and outside my skin forming sores, they self-assembled on sinks and countertops instantly from nothing and in a fraction of a second a 2 inch long fiber appeared, they were fluorescent, they moved on their own energy source as if they were electric somehow and they seemed to communicate with the other fibers…what the hell.

I began to realize this was not just a simple fungus or skin pathogen so I began to follow all the various theories that were going around and Clifford Carnicom was just one. I kept an open mind to it all because nobody had any answers and stupidly I thought the government would be figuring it out and coming up with the reason this was happening – boy was I wrong on that.

Could it really be that our own government, without our knowledge or consent, would be so evil as to create this pathogen and infect the world with it. Could it be that they intended to ruin my life, steal my energy, scar my body, cause pain and suffering for 30 years and now they are exposing the rest of humanity through the vaccines, in food and water. It is near impossible for me to comprehend this evil but it is now being shown by Dr. Ana Marie Milahcea and Clifford Carnicom that our blood is infected by this geo-engineered organism. (See link for article & informative videos)

The first video (watch it now because it’s on Youtube where things are commonly disappeared) is about Clifford Carnicom, an independent researcher, who discusses the ‘aerosol’ issue and the deliberate introduction of massive amounts of particulates into our atmosphere (some call this Chemtrails) and the biological consequences, particularly the condition called “Morgellons.”   With him is Dr. Gwen Scott a naturopath.

Please also visit “Community of Empowerment” to read much more and learn of a protocol that has been successful for one patient as well as where to find the products.  You can also join the community and share your story.

It’s so important to have community with this debilitating illness.  The gaslighting is very real and IMO is even worse than having Lyme/MSIDS as most doctors simply do not ‘get it’ and will happily diagnose you with a mental condition including ‘delusional parasitosis.’

‘Cancer Disappeared’

**UPDATE**

Listen to this 50 Min interview with Dr. John Campbell and Dr. Makis who is helping cancer patients globally with cheap, safe, repurposed drugs with great success.

https://www.2ndsmartestguyintheworld.com/p/dr-paul-marik-on-ivermectin-and-cancer

Dr. Paul Marik On Ivermectin and Cancer: “We know of cases of patients who had solid tumors…and together with some other drugs… the cancer disappeared.”

Dr. Lee Merritt: “Doctors around the world are showing that cancer is intracellular parasites.”

Dr. Paul Marik discusses how Ivermectin, aka “horse dewormer,” has not only been vindicated as an effective treatment for COVID, but it is now proving to be an extremely powerful cancer treatment protocol.

Exactly how safe is Ivermectin?

You’re more likely to die from taking aspirin or Tylenol than taking Ivermectin. ~ Dr. Paul Marik

There is essentially no possible way to overdose on Ivermectin, and this drug is so safe there is no established level of toxicity.

According to Dr. Lee Merritt, one of the leading Ivermectin experts in the world, cancer may very well be an intracellular parasitic condition.

Doctors around the world are showing that cancer is intracellular parasites.

If you look at cancer under a light microscope, it’s essentially indistinguishable from parasite egg sacs. ~  Dr. Lee Merritt

Which is exactly why during the PSYOP-19 “pandemic” the democidal powers that be wanted so desperately to put the kibosh on Ivermectin. Not only would  Ivermectin have prevented all of the COVID murders committed at hospitals, it would have rapidly reduced global cancer trends, which are now exploding.

Instead, BigPharma — an asset of the Intelligence Industrial Complex — was tasked with manufacturing the slow kill bioweapon “vaccines” on behalf of their DoD and Pentagon patent holders. And after the recent societal rejection of vaccines in general, the last cash cow for BigPharma is cancer “treatment.”  (See link for numerous articles & videos)

Whistleblower Exposes Widespread Hospital Corruption During COVID

**UPDATE**

Furthering the global psyop concept, an American living in China in 2019 recently stated:

“And I was trying to tell people. I went on television here live and I said, ‘Hey. Listen. This is not what you think it is. Anyway, of course, they said that stuff. But what I noticed was when you went up into the mountains and you were with the villagers, there was no COVID. There was no people wearing masks…so I realized this so-called virus has a mind of its own, and it only stays in big cities. And it doesn’t attack people when they’re in a restaurant and they’re sitting down. It had a time schedule. It would come out from 9 PM…because you have to be in by 9 PM, and then you couldn’t come out until, like, 6 or 7 o’clock in the morning. I said, ‘Wow. This doesn’t make any sense.'” ~ Victor-Hugo Vaca Jr.

Because psyops aren’t supposed to make any sense.
They are utilized for a pre-determined outcome for public acceptance of their ‘counter measures’

VA Whistleblower Exposes Widespread Hospital Corruption During COVID-19

Former Navy Corpsman and ICU Nurse Shane Claytor Reveals Government Retaliation, Dangerous Protocols, and the Systemic Betrayal of Patients

Shane Claytor, a former Navy Corpsman, Iraq War Veteran, and ICU nurse, has worked inside both the VA and private healthcare systems. Shane has seen firsthand how hospital policies, corporate interests, and government mandates have compromised patient care. In this interview, Shane reveals:

  • The stark contrast between private hospitals and the VA system during the early days of COVID-19, including the lack of preparedness in private facilities and the bureaucratic dysfunction in government-run hospitals.
  • The suppression of dissent within the VA, where speaking out against questionable policies—such as excessive isolation, improper use of ventilators, and the sidelining of early treatment options—led to retaliation, including an investigation that sidelined him for seven months.
  • The failures of COVID-19 protocols, including the widespread use of remdesivir, which he and other healthcare professionals observed was linked to kidney failure. He compares outcomes at the VA, where the drug was heavily administered, to other hospitals that used it more sparingly and saw far fewer complications.
  • The toxic culture within healthcare institutions, where unvaccinated patients were stigmatized, and doctors failed to physically assess COVID-19 patients, relying instead on remote decision-making, which harmed patient care.
  • His personal journey of witnessing the effects of government mandates, corporate influence, and media-driven misinformation, leading him to advocate for healthcare reform and transparency in medical protocols.
  • His advocacy for VA healthcare reform, as he believes the system is deeply flawed and requires urgent intervention, especially with potential policy shifts under a new administration.
