The Truth About Lyme Disease With Lori Dennis

1/5/24

Lyme disease remains to be, in many ways, a daunting mystery to scientists and doctors across the globe. But rather than shying away from the puzzling aspects to this illness, Lori Dennis has made it her mission to dig into the research and advocate for those affected. In doing so, she has uncovered shocking revelations about the transmission, symptomatology, diagnosis, treatment and prolonged impacts of Lyme. Lori presents a few of her discoveries on ‘Doctors & Scientists’ this week.

Lori Dennis, MA, a registered Psychotherapist in private practice in Toronto, Canada, is the author of Lyme Madness: Rescuing My Son Down the Rabbit Hole of Chronic Lyme Disease.

On this expedition, just like all Lyme sufferers and caregivers, we were forced to become our own microbiologist, neurologist, immunologist, gastroenterologist, infectious disease specialist and so on, in order to map out a treatment plan, all without a GPS.

Our story is by no means unique. Most chronic Lyme sufferers are ill for months, years or even decades before they come to understand the root cause of their dis-ease. Most sufferers consult with a multitude of doctors only to have to figure it out for themselves. ~ Lori Dennis

FDA Tries to Toss Out Ivermectin Case

FDA Launches Fresh Bid to Toss Out High-Profile Ivermectin Case

Attempt comes after appeals court ruled agency likely overstepped its authority in warnings against ivermecton

By Zachary Stieber

1/15/2024

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking to persuade a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit challenging its repeated advisories against using ivermectin to treat COVID-19.

The FDA in a sealed motion asked the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas to dismiss the suit, which was brought by three doctors who allege the FDA’s warnings were illegal.

The late 2023 motion was sealed because exhibits the government cited “include confidential information” from a separate legal proceeding, according to a government brief.

Government lawyers said they would file redacted versions of the motion for public perusal but still haven’t done so.
Attorneys for the doctors said on Jan. 12 that the court should reject the government’s fresh bid to throw out the case.“
The FDA exceeded its authority by repeatedly issuing public directives not to use ivermectin for COVID-19, even though the drug remains fully approved for human use,” they wrote.

The hammer needs to come down on the corrupt and dysfunctional FDA.  Anything less allows further tyranny.
The Appeals Court has ruled the FDA exceeded their authority.  This judgement should stand.
The FDA’s argument is that the plaintiffs haven’t suffered injuries traceable to the FDA, but the doctors state they have suffered economic harm, reputational harm, and increased exposure to malpractice liability and forced or untimely resignations due to the FDA’s actions.
Sadly, this is becoming the MO of our government.  I’m sure these doctors are mostly motivated by the illness and death they experienced with their patients due to being handcuffed from utilizing a safe, cheap, and effective medicine for COVID which could have saved lives.
The entire ivermectin saga has been chronicled.

While the FDA has power to authorize or approve drugs for a specific use, doctors are free to prescribe cleared drugs for other “off-label” purposes. Of course “off-label” prescribing of ivermectin was censored and prohibited not only by the FDA but by the AMA and other professional medical groups.  Pharmacists wouldn’t even fill prescriptions for it.  This is far bigger problem than just the FDA and each of these groups need to be overhauled to limit their power over doctors.

If they get away with it for ivermectin, it could be anything in the future.

Lastly, it must be celebrated widely and loudly that finally a doctor, at great personal cost, was willing to go the distance against our corrupt government and was exonerated.

This poor doctor’s crime?  He advised for time-tested, safe, and inexpensive vitamins & natural remedies for COVID.

Our corrupt and inept government sued him for $508 BILLION dollars.  

The case drug on for over 3 stressful years and he was debanked by 5 banks.  Insurance companies dropped his patient’s ability to use insurance while under his care.  

Knowing they couldn’t win the case, the FTC offered him money in a settlement that would have come with a gag order where he couldn’t discuss the case.  He refused their bribes and is now speaking out on how the government bankrupts dissenters.

No, the ivermectin case can not be dismissed.  There’s too much at stake.

New Year Rings in JN.1 As Dominant Omicron Subvariant & Vocal Cord Involvement

New Year Rings in JN.1 as Dominant Omicron Subvariant

Mass Vaccination Extends Pandemic into its Fourth Year

JAN 12, 2024

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

The Spanish Influenza pandemic was over with in two years 1918-1919. There was an insignificant attempt at mass vaccination and largely the outbreak ran its course affecting one third of the world’s population.

With SARS-CoV-2 being engineered in the Wuhan Institute of Virology intentionally as a human biologic threat coupled with with a global, planned mass vaccination campaign by the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex, the COVID-19 pandemic is extending into its fourth year.

The CDC Nowcast system indicates as of December 23, 2023, that 44% of the Omicron subvariants are JN.1

Yang et al recently published observations that JN.1 has a unique mutation in the receptor binding domain of the Spike protein making it an immune escape artist.

“In summary, JN.1, by inheriting BA.2.86’s antigenic diversity and acquisition of L455S, rapidly achieved extensive resistance across receptor binding domain class 1, 2, and 3 antibodies, and showed higher immune evasion compared with BA.2.86 and other resistant strains like HV.1 and JD.1·1, at the expense of reduced human ACE2 binding. This evolutionary pattern, similar to the previous transition from BA.2.75 to CH.1.1 and XBB, highlights the importance of closely monitoring strains with high human ACE2 binding affinity and distinct antigenicity, like BA.2.86 and BA.2.75, despite their unremarkable immune evasion capabilities. Such strains could survive and transmit at low levels since their antigenic difference would allow them to target distinct populations compared with dominant strains and have the potential to quickly accumulate highly immune-evasive mutations at the cost of human ACE2 binding capabilities.”

The JN.1 subvariant which is likely to breakthrough natural and vaccine immunity with ease, is all the more reason to be armed and ready…..  (See link for article)

**Comment**

According to this, JN.1 patients are presenting two the two distinct symptoms of headache and diarrhea.  The other symptoms are very similar to previous Omicron variants and include fever, fatigue, sore throat, and even runny nose, congestion, muscle aches, and other GI issues like nausea and loss of appetite.

I recently had another bout of something.  What was unique this time was vocal box involvement giving me Laryngitis.  This eventually moved into my chest causing severe coughing.  This drug on and on until I finally requested antibiotics (clindamycin) which set me straight again.  I also used Dr. Levvy’s food grade hydrogen peroxide nebulizer treatment as well as ivermectin, vitamin C, and the usual immune helps.

I found this interesting:  https://www.theepochtimes.com/health/potential-covid-induced-vocal-cord-paralysis-in-adolescents  The case of a 15-year old presented within is severe and I did not have difficulty swallowing or shortness of breath but this patient also had a history of asthma and anxiety. Adults have also had vocal fold paralysis or weakness with COVID as well, and the paralysis can be temporary or permanent.

So it appears this vocal chord involvement is now being seen more.

Army Combat Uniform’s Insect Repellent at Center of Fraud Case

Army Combat Uniform’s insect repellent at center of fraud case

The Department of Justice alleges that a contractor failed to accurately apply bug repellent to ACUs and falsified test results.

BY | 

Adefense contractor may have rigged test results on how bug repellent Army Combat Uniforms were, officials say, leaving soldiers in insect-heavy places vulnerable to illnesses like the Zika virus and Lyme disease.

A federal complaint filed by the Department of Justice on Friday alleges that North Carolina-based Insect Shield LLC and its founder, Richard Lane, who died in 2022, incorrectly tested uniforms for insect-repellent and falsified documents beginning in 2015 under federal contracts worth more than $63 million.

The DOJ alleges that the company and Lane participated in a “multi-year failure” to apply permethrin to Army Combat Uniforms and Improved Hot Weather Combat Uniforms at the correct concentration levels. They also allege that the company submitted inaccurate lab test results to the government for the contracted garments.

The DOJ alleges that the company’s conduct included more than 430 “lots” of Army Combat Uniforms, which may have affected millions of soldiers over the years. (See link for article)
