Abstract
A 41-year-old woman presented with a violaceous papule on the dorsum of the hand, large ipsilateral axillary lymphadenopathy, and tender, erythematous, subcutaneous nodules on the legs. Accompanying signs included fever, ankle swelling, and bilateral red eye. She recalled having a previous exposure to kittens one month before and had a positive family history for sarcoidosis. Histological examination of the hand lesion showed sarcoidal granulomas with positive Bartonella henselae DNA, whereas a biopsy done on the leg nodules was compatible with erythema nodosum. Cat scratch disease (CSD) typically presents as a tender regional lymphadenopathy preceded by an inoculation papule with spontaneous resolution occurring between 8-16 weeks. Cutaneous manifestations of CSD are rare, with erythema nodosum accompanying only 0.6% of cases. Although speculative, the background of a positive family history for sarcoidosis may explain the atypical presentation of this case, with red eye, persistent arthralgia, and associated sarcoidal granulomas.

**Comment**
There is so much yet to be discovered about Bartonella. Nearly every Lyme/MSIDS patient I know struggles with it. It is far more pervasive and serious than mainstream researchers and doctors know. They’ve always attributed Bartonella infection with a compromised immune function and cat exposure, yet infection in completely healthy people without cat exposure occurs: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/01/23/chest-imaging-of-cat-scratch-disease-in-2-year-old-immunocompetent-baby-with-no-history-of-cat-contact/
https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/07/10/bartonella-henselae-neuroretinitis-in-patients-without-cat-scratch All the patients denied a history of a cat or any animal contact, or of having CSD findings.

Del Bigtree unloaded some major truth bombs in front of the recent ACIP CDC meetings. Despite this truth, these Pharma trolls approved all the new vaccines including anthrax for children. It’s a must watch.

The elites refuse vaccines for their own children: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/01/22/bill-gates-former-doctor-says-billionaire-refused-to-vaccinate-his-children/
There is only ONE study on vaccinated vs unvaccinated children: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2017/05/18/first-peer-reviewed-study-of-vaccinated-vs-unvaccinated-children/ Excerpt:
The first peer-reviewed study comparing health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children implicates vaccines in a host of chronic illnesses. http://oatext.com/pdf/JTS-3-186.pdfScientists found no significant differences in rates of vaccine-preventable illnesses like hepatitis A or B, measles, mumps, rubella, influenza, meningitis or rotavirus. As would be expected, vaccinated children did have lower likelihood of two vaccine-preventable illnesses compared to unvaccinated children: chicken pox (7.9% vs. 25.3%), and pertussis (2.5% vs. 8.4%).
The study suggests that fully vaccinated children may be trading the prevention of certain acute illnesses (chicken pox, pertussis) for more chronic illnesses and neurodevelopmental disorders like ADHD and Autism. The scientists also found that children born prematurely, who were vaccinated, were 6.6 times more likely to have a neurodevelopmental disorder.
The Hippocratic Oath is between the doctor and the patient – not the government, CDC, or FDA. The relationship between doctor and patient is private and exclusive.
In this interview with Dr. Phan, he tells his unique perspective of escaping Vietnam at eight years of age in 1975 after the Communist take over. For a year he protected his two year old brother until they were finally reunited with his parents. His parents, having lived under a totalitarian regime taught him that a system that dictates what you should think, read, and eat, is wrong.
Later, when Dr. Phan went to medical school, vaccines were recommended, but med students never had lessons on vaccine side effects. He never read a package insert. https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/10/08/vaccine-safety-efficacy-studies-that-are-the-bases-for-marketing-authorizations-are-a-complete-methodological-mess/
Richard Horton, editor in chief of The Lancet said this in 2015:
The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/06/21/the-corruption-of-evidence-based-medicine-killing-for-profit/
His mentor warned him that when he began to see pharmaceutical companies getting in bed with the government and the health industry he would need to make a decision about how medical career – either retire or fight it. https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/02/11/industry-sponsored-doctors-new-study-shows-depth-of-commercial-influence/
After his patients reported illness after getting vaccinated, he studied the literature for himself and discovered Mercury is really bad inside the brain – from mercury fillings and from vaccines.
He states there is a financial incentive for pediatricians to complete the vaccine schedule. For more on that: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/08/24/financial-kickbacks-for-vaccinations-abusive-illegal-fraudulent/
He challenges doctors to watch the documentary VAXXED. He feels it imperative that doctors take it upon themselves to become educated because enemies are infiltrating medical and dental schools and are teaching doctors to flatly dismiss parents’ questions about vaccinations and just give the shots anyway despite the outcome.
According to Phan, doctors are continually barraged by regulations, particularly Obamacare. One of Dr. Phan’s professors gave a quote from Lenin:
“The key to a socialized state is socialized medicine.”
Dr. Phan practices medicine in the state of California and continually gets letters from Medicare and insurance companies pushing him to give prescriptions and vaccines. He also gets threatening letters from Medicare asking him to give up his patient records – which would require him to break the second rule of the Hippocratic Oath: patient privacy. This is something Dr. Phan doggedly refuses to do.
A CEO of an insurance company who is also a MD visited Dr. Phan and asked why he continued to resist giving his patient records. Phan responded that he would be breaking the 2nd rule of medicine and that as a MD he should understand that. He also stated the CEO was no longer a doctor if he had no problem ignoring patient confidentiality. Due to his resistance, the CEO announced the insurance company would leave him alone. That was three years ago and the CEO has kept his word.
Dr. Phan recommends doctors reread the Hippocratic Oath to understand their true responsibilities and then to join him in standing up to these totalitarian mandates and regulations.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Hippocratic-oath The text of the Hippocratic Oath (c. 400 BC) provided below is a translation from Greek by Francis Adams (1849). It is considered a classical version and differs from contemporary versions, which are reviewed and revised frequently to fit with changes in modern medical practice.
I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation—to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this Art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others. I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot! This article was most recently revised and updated by Kara Rogers, Senior Editor.

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2018/09/08/acip-vote-yes-for-new-vaccine-despite-no-safety-studies-on-cumulative-effect-with-other-vaccines/ Basic dialogue before they voted:
Q: Is it dangerous to use this vaccine with other vaccines?
A: We have no data on that. Once approved, it will be given along with other vaccines but we have no clue whether that’s safe or not.
Somehow approving a new vaccine with no data on the accumulated cocktail effect is OK to them IF you put them in different limbs……scientifically, this is quite a head scratcher. By nature, vaccines are systemic.
Q: Do we at least have any data from other countries that used this vaccine in combination with other vaccines?
A: Not to my knowledge.
Sounds good to me. Lets vote yes!
Only after they vote, one guy voices concern over 16 heart attack deaths in the safety trials.
Illogic at it’s best.
Perhaps it has something to do with money & power? https://thevaccinereaction.org/2018/09/global-vaccine-market-expected-to-reach-50-52-billion-by-2023/ The value of the vaccine market will reach $50.42 billion by 2023 from $36.45 billion in 2018, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.7 percent, according to recently published report by private research firm MarketsandMarkets of India.1
The elites refuse to vaccinate their own children. This should tell you something: https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2019/01/22/bill-gates-former-doctor-says-billionaire-refused-to-vaccinate-his-children/
