Bonus episode 58. Under the microscope with Dr. Leona Gilbert

Understanding Borrelia at a cellular level.
Dr. Leona Gilbert, Episode 58, on Looking at Lyme Podcast.
In this podcast we catch up with Dr. Leona Gilbert to take an inside look at the Lyme bacteria, Borrelia, and find out how it interacts with our cells and how it can evade our immune system. Dr. Gilbert has a doctorate in biotechnology with an extensive background in bio-innovation and bio-business. We’ll also find out more about her research and the impact it is having on how we understand Lyme disease and associated infections. Dr. Gilbert is originally from Canada and is now based in Finland.

When immune cells meet Borrelia

Dr. Gilbert describes the basic process that occurs when Borrelia is encountered in the body by an immune cell called a macrophage. She explains that during this process, the macrophage displays proteins on the surface of the macrophage in order for the immune system to be able to recognize Borrelia. She highlights some of the unique characteristics of Borrelia which include its long length, very thin “hair like” width and its corkscrew shape. Macrophages in turn are required to use specific mechanisms in order to process this large and irregular pathogen. They have arm-like protrusions that envelop Borellia, which then curl up before being ingested into the cell.

“Borrelia is a corkscrew-like structure, so it’s kind of coiling and it’s really 20 micrometers in length and 200 nanometers width, so it’s very thin, and pleomorphic means it can change its shape based on its environment…when Borrelia is faced with an adverse environment…it recognises the environment is stressful for them, so they tend to protrude its outer membrane and make these little blebs, and the blebs actually ball out…and make these round bodies.”

Dr. Leona Gilbert

Borrelia is a shapeshifter

Borrelia can be described as “pleomorphic”. Because of it’s long, thin, corkscrew structure, it can change its shape depending on its environment. For example, if Borrelia senses an adverse environment such as change in pH or nutrients, it protrudes its outer membrane to create “blebs” which progress into “round bodies”. Round bodies are circular and contain coiled up genetic material of Borrelia. In the past, it was thought that these round bodies were cell wall deficient, but research is showing that they actually do have a cell wall.

“We also have noticed in vitro as well as in vivo studies of ours and others, that Borrelia can form biofilm structures…they like to clump together…it’s been speculated that the biofilm is a really resistant form to protect the bacteria against antibiotics and so forth, but in that biofilm it’s also having different pleomorphic forms…the spirochete (parent) form, the round body form…spirochetes with these blebs, you will see all of that in the biofilm-like structures.”

Dr. Leona Gilbert

Sheltering in biofilms

Dr. Gilbert explains that in human, animal and laboratory studies, Borrelia can be found in biofilm structures in which Borrelia group together. The bacteria will recruit elements in their environment, such as proteins in the blood, to create an extracellular matrix for the biofilm to attach itself to. Tissue testing has shown that these biofilms have been found in joints as well as brain tissue. She notes that the different forms of Borrelia can be found in the biofilm, including the parent form, the blebs and the round bodies. Through something called quorum sensing, the bacteria share genetic material which support persistent forms of Borrelia. Newer research indicates that these biofilms may include other microbes as well.

“(Borrelia) will actually recruit other kinds of proteins there to create this extracellular matrix so that the biofilm can attach itself…and start building up, really a solid structure. We have seen this in the joints of people and in the brains of…autopsy samples.”

Dr. Leona Gilbert

Under the microscope

In order to better understand Borrelia, transmission electron microscopy is used. Electrons go through the cellular structure so that the interior and exterior structures can be visualized. Through a process called immuno-labeling, antibodies for specific structures in Borrelia such as its DNA, outer surface proteins, or p41 of the flagella are employed to be able to “label” each of these structures in order to better understand them. Immunolabeling can also help scientists understand how Borrelia and its components interact with immune cells such as macrophages.

Focus on skin and joint cells

To better understand how Borrelia behaves in humans, Dr. Gilbert’s team used skin and joint cells in their research. They infected these cells at different time intervals to see if Borrelia can survive inside the cell. Their research showed that Borrelia were indeed able to survive inside the skin and joint cells. Unlike some other pathogens that kill host cells, Borrelia appears to “hide out” within the cell in order to protect itself. They also found that Borrelia exists in different forms in each of the cell types. In the joint cells, which are more acidic, Borrelia was more likely to morph into round bodies than in the skin cells.

“These persistent reserves, these are these niches of where Borrelia wants to hide out…lymph nodes…they really can affect the overall antibody production pathway that’s occurring in the host…we also know the niches like the knee, they eyes, the brain…(the vagus nerve) could be a niche as well.”

Dr. Leona Gilbert

Exploring cell death and persistence

Dr. Gilbert explains some of the science behind cell death. Apoptosis is the regular or “programmed” cell death that occurs to enable healthy regeneration of new cells. In contrast, necrosis, or unprogrammed cell death occurs during tissue damage. Different types of cell death result in different markers being detected in the tissue. Through these research techniques, the differences in cell death between various immune cells can be explored. Dr. Gilbert’s team also found that the skin and joint cell lines they were testing were surviving, and explains that this discovery will create new avenues of research.

Mechanisms of persistence

Various places in the body can become reservoirs for Borrelia bacteria, including lymph nodes. Dr. Gilbert notes that their presence there seems to also “downregulate” immune processes in the body. Other “niches” for Borrelia are the knees, the eyes, the brain and possibly the vagus nerve. Borrelia may evade the immune system by hiding out in these areas. Why do some patients have symptoms after treatment for Lyme disease? Dr. Gilbert describes some of the potential reasons that some patients have symptoms after treatment for Lyme disease. These include persistent infection, persistent antigens, autoimmune processes and immune dysfunction.

“What is the mechanism behind post treatment Lyme disease syndrome, or chronic Lyme…is there a persistent infection, or persistent antigens, or is it an autoimmune occurrence, is it immune dysfunction? So there is evidence to suggest that these persistent kind of niches do exist not only in animal studies, non-human primate studies and also in human studies.”

Dr. Leona Gilbert

Extracellular vesicles: creating a diversion

Pathogens such as Borrelia can pump out structures called extracellular vesicles, or EV’s, which contain components of the pathogen inside them. Because the immune system recognizes components inside the EV’s, it may seek out the EV rather than the actual pathogen. Dr. Gilbert explains that while the immune system is distracted by these “decoys”, Borrelia bacteria can invade tissues in the body. She notes that EV’s are also linked to autoimmune diseases and cognitive changes.

A call for more research

Dr. Gilbert explains that she is constantly looking to the patient population to guide her research. As many patients remain symptomatic after treatment with antibiotics, she started to look at the use of phytochemicals or herbal supplements. She found that although there’s good anecdotal evidence to demonstrate the success of these treatments, there is a lack of human research to support their use. She urges clinicians and researchers to fill this gap by developing research studies to better understand the effectiveness of these phytochemicals. Dr. Gilbert shares her own research findings by speaking internationally at Lyme disease and other conferences.

“What is the mechanism behind post treatment Lyme disease syndrome, or chronic Lyme…is there a persistent infection, or persistent antigens, or is it an autoimmune occurrence, is it immune dysfunction? So there is evidence to suggest that these persistent kind of niches do exist not only in animal studies, non-human primate studies and also in human studies.”

Dr. Leona Gilbert

Tezted: testing for Borrelia (and friends)

Tezted is a university spin-off company created to address problems with the two-tier testing system. It also addresses the findings of Dr. Gilbert and other researchers, that patients with Borrelia are often infected with other pathogens such as Bartonella and Babesia. They found that 85% of Lyme patients also have co-infections. Tickplex tests for 15 different microbes, and IgG and IgM with quantification in order to help determine the stage of disease. There is also a test for mycotoxins such as those found in mold. While waiting for approval in Canada, Dr. Gilbert has worked with several labs in Europe, the United States and Mexico.

“We have this saying that Borrelia likes its friends…we demonstrated that 85% of Lyme patients in that study, and even now in other studies, actually have co-infections.”

Dr. Leona Gilbert

The importance of patient collaboration in research

Dr. Gilbert is passionate about global collaboration to find solutions and highlights the importance of working with patient groups. She works with a group called Lyme Global, which is focussed on collaborating and communicating with people around the world to discuss issues, which she notes are common worldwide. She is also collaborating with Dr. Lambert from Ireland to improve the current database of Lyme disease research.

Mining data to gain a better understanding

In closing, Dr. Gilbert points to the emerging field of artificial intelligence and machine learning in research. With the help of technology, the data from multiple sources can be mined and clustered to support hypotheses that are otherwise difficult to examine. Thank you Dr. Gilbert for sharing your research with us and with the world!

The following test is from a specialized, private lab called DEDIMED which is in Berlin, Germany; however, patients who do not live in Berlin receive blood sampling kits for the 18 Parameter Borrelia test. With this blood sampling material, they then go to their doctor and send the tube with the blood and the requirement to DEDIMED. The findings are then discussed with Dr. Waldherr by phone and sent to the patient by mail. A short telephone call with specialist physician Dr. Waldherr is recommended, in order to clarify questions about the diagnosis, illness and treatment and to obtain detailed information.

Dr. Waldherr uses a total of 18 different tests for Borrelia antibodies; Which is significantly more than other labs. The hit rate here is well over 90 percent, whether the patient is serologically positive or negative. Two different measurement techniques are used. The immunofluorescence test with 12 parameters and the immunoblot test with 6 parameters. Within the framework of these measurement techniques, no classical screenings are carried out, but differentiation is made between the different, pathogenic types of borrelia. Thus a very high sensitivity and specificity is achieved.

In addition, Dr. Waldherr offers in his practice a tick test with subsequent diagnostics to investigate whether ticks are colonized with Borrelia or TBE virus.

https://dedimed.com/en/patients/borreliosis/ak-18save/

BORRELIOSIS TEST AK-18SAVE

Safe and reliable diagnose Borreliosis

Chronic infections such as borreliosis increase the stress on the body. This is often manifested by persistent exhaustion, burnout symptoms or even joint pain. With the AK-18Save Borreliosis Test, you can safely diagnose Borreliosis and then choose the right therapy:

  • The most sensitive test combination on the market: with two test methods and 18 tested parameters, we achieve high sensitivity and specificity.
  • Safe result: Our hit rate is comparatively high at 90%, thus reducing false-negative results.
  • Ease of use: Patients outside Berlin can order blood collection kits.

Why is a safe diagnosis of chronic infections important?

An infection is a general stress on the body. A stressor that creates stress for the body. In acute, then healing infections the stress is correspondingly declining rapidly. However, a chronic stress develops during a chronic infection.

A chronic infection such as Lyme borreliosis is an “energy eater” and consumes 1/3 of the biochemical energy that humans produce. This constant “stress” of the body leads to the exhaustion of the neurotransmitters (messengers) and can lead to the development of a burnout. Further consequences are, for example, pain in the area of ​​the joints. Another manifestation is found in the nervous system, the so-called neuroborreliosis.

Unspecific symptoms usually result from a chronic infection. Thes are often not recognized as the result of one or more diseases and is often treated as psychosomatic. Lyme borreliosis is the consequence of ticks.

How do you achieve such a high hit rate?

By analyzing with two measurement techniques, we are able to determine significantly more features of the antigen structure of the Borrelia than is possible with standard tests. With both tests we determine the antibodies. We determine the surface characteristics (IFT) of the antigens and we also separate them according to mass and charge (IB). Thus, we get a very sensitive statement about a borrelia infection of the patient.

Within the framework of these two antibody tests we are testing two Borreliosis antibodies IgG and IgM. These are the body’s own proteins which form a defensive reaction. They are of different sizes and occur at different times:

  • IgM is formed as the first reaction to an infection and disappears after some time. IgM is therefore usually an indication of an acute thrust of a chronic infection.
  • IgG occurs subsequently and remains longer, up to many years, and marks the transition to the healing or to the chronic phase.

Why is chronic borreliosis so difficult to diagnose?

The reliable diagnosis of chronic borreliosis is difficult to determine for various reasons. On the one hand, the symptoms of chronic borreliosis are very different, diverse and unspecific.

After the bite of ticks only every second develops a flush. At the same time, you are often associated with other diseases such as rheumatism or depression (neuroborreliosis). Borrelia also has a camouflage mechanism and can change their surface structure. In addition, they can manifest themselves at the most diverse and different points of the body. Because of the different pathogenic Borrelia species, it is particularly difficult to make a targeted diagnosis.

The standard tests have a much lower hit rate than the AK-18Save Borreliosis Test, are inaccurate and can be negative, even if the patients are infected.

Together with the anamnesis and the symptoms, this results in a clear diagnosis for a subsequent targeted treatment. The Dedimed AK-18Save Borreliosis Test is thus more accurate and reliable than other tests currently available on the market.

What are the disadvantages of standard borreliosis tests?

The standardized tests often lead to “false negative” results, which is absolutely fatal for the person concerned and a wrong diagnosis is made. In the AK-18Save Borreliosis test, we prevent a misdiagnosis with a 90 % certainty and the patient is equally certain there is an infection.

Dedimed is often the eighth or ninth starting point for the person concerned because the previous examinations did not bring any results with different doctors.
Borrelia is very variable in its antigen structure: some features are found in several species of Borrelia, some in only a few. In many standardized screening tests, rare characteristics are not recognized. The result: false-negative finding. With our borreliosis test we detect both the frequent and the rare characteristics.

What role do co-infections play in the diagnosis of borreliosis?

Borreliosis alone can cause mild to severe symptoms. But what many do not know is that ticks can transmit different co-infections together with the Borrelia. These include pathogens such as Bartonella, Babesia, Rickettsia or Chlamydia, which in turn can cause various symptoms. Co-infections are also predominantly diagnosed by our two immunoblot (IB) and immunofluorescence (IFT) test methods.

TIP: Blood Collection Kit Borrelia Test: Patients who do not live in Berlin receive blood collection kits. With this blood sampling material, the patients then go to their (mostly a family doctor) and send the tube with the blood and the request form to our borreliosis practice. The findings are then mostly discussed with our physician Dr. Waldherr by phone and sent to the patient by mail.

What is a Borreliosis Therapy?

A chronic infection, such as chronic borreliosis, but also the associated co-infections, present a great challenge both diagnostically and therapeutically.

Acute and fresh bacterial infections can usually be treated very well by means of a consequent antibiotic therapy for several weeks..

On the other hand, chronic infections with regard to the therapy are more differentiated and represent a much greater challenge. During a chronic active borreliosis, longer-term antibiotics (minimum 3 months) is usually required. This can be done either by oral injection or by infusion.

Another very effective therapy to fight the Borrelia is the extreme whole-body hyperthermia. Borrelia are thermolabile and die at a temperature of 41.6 degrees. Here the patients are brought effectively to temperature. Extreme hyperthermia is only performed under strict medical supervision by monitoring vital signs.

Do you have any questions about our borreliosis test?

A short phone call with our laboratory physician, Dr. med. Anton Waldherr Tel. + 49 (0) 033203 is recommended.

This “Build Back Better” montage perfectly demonstrates the orchestrated plan known as The Great Reset by globalist perpetrators who credit the COVID ‘plandemic’ for the opportunity to control every aspect the world including health/medical care.  Many have been reporting on this global plan which also includes the U.N. Agenda 21 and supposed global sustainability.  According to author Rosa Koire (RIP) who wrote “Behind the Green Mask,” the plan will be implemented worldwide to inventory and control all land, water, minerals, plants, animals, construction, means of production, energy, education, information, and human beings.

Dr. David Martin who has studied the patent holdings, who identified the RT PCR Bioweapon terrorism threat in 2002, and who has exposed the names and faces of those killing humanity, a 1966 plan implemented by Gates, states the Rockefeller Foundation, and the WHO et al for the creation of a universal vaccine by 2020 started in the UK when the Wellcome Trust decided to use the corona virus as the ‘preferred form of human manipulation’.

The diabolical UN plan known as “The Agenda for the 21st Century” was agreed to by 179 countries in 1992 and will yield a totalitarian state to control everything globally. It is NOT about “sustainable development,” but is about moving populations into city centers (think 15 minute Smart Cities), and a one world government controlled from a central unit.  The three E’s, economy, ecology, and equity are the plan’s buzz words repeated over and over ad nauseum by the players being used to push this objective for complete surveillance and management of society.  Since the media is owned by 5 major corporations, all who are players in the madness, you will not hear this from them.

The only new thing happening is our awakening to these sinister plots.

Here are 10 reasons to #ExitTheWHO
Word is getting out because countries around the world are rejecting it.
  • Former Congresswoman and current Dean of Robertson School of Government at Regent University Michele Bachmann explains why the WHO must be stopped before May, 2024 or the rights and medical freedoms of the entire free world with be circumvented.
  • New Zealand Senator scathingly rejects the WHO
  • Slovakian MP will not sign WHO amendments
  • Romanian MEP gives riveting speech opposing the “new world order,” green passports and other “Great Reset”plans.
  • Bill HR 79 (to defund and exit WHO) was introduced by US Congressman
  • Eleven Members of Parliament in Estonia issued a letter rejecting IHR amendments and the proposed pandemic treaty
  • A comprehensive bill by a congressman is gaining traction and public support in the Philippines
  • Two South African parliamentarians champion the WHO Withdrawal Bill and mobilize on it.
  • Parliamentarians continue advocating to reject IHR amendments and question the WHO in Japan
  • A letter from the Australian people communicates rejection of the WHO’s proposed amendments to the IHR
  • Eleven European Union parliamentarians are formally challenging procedural failures in IHR amendments.
  • A Parliamentarian in the Netherlands filed a letter making a reservation due to lack of due process.
  • The World Council for Health’s twenty-six decentralized Country Councils continue to mobilize against the IHR amendments and the proposed new pandemic treaty. They are also working to withdraw from the WHO and instead work directly with each other.  Source

5G, Smart Meters, transhumanism, AI, the “Pandemic Treaty,” the corrupt, insufferable, and conflict riddled WHO, WEF, UN, GAVI, and many others who are all playing critical roles in this dystopian nightmare on steroids. These international non-governmental organizations (INGOS) known as the ‘Global Public-Private Partnership,’ are the stakeholders who meet regularly at international gatherings, and who set the agenda which is then enacted by “Policy Distributors.” Governments and regulators are the ‘Policy Enforcers’ that are aided and abetted by the ‘Policy Propagandists’, the legacy and social media, as well as a plethora of ‘fact checkers’. At the bottom of the pile, the ‘Policy Subjects’ (you and me) are expected to do as we are told.

The process currently taking place to amend the International Health Regulations (IHR) is a key aspect of the Global Health Security Agenda, which in turn is part of Agenda 2030. The role of major donors and investment houses, from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and Wellcome, to BlackRock and Vanguard, who fund the individuals, officials, and organizations at all levels of the policy hierarchy, cannot be under-estimated.  Source

Proving that digitalization is the key, the U.N., with support from the Gates Foundation, just launched an “ambitious-country-led campaign” to promote and accelerate the development of a global digital public infrastructure (DPI) which has been described as a totalitarian nightmare and dystopian initiative. The United Nations Development Programme  (UNDP) said its “50-in-5” campaign will spur the construction of “an underlying network of components” that includes “digital payments, ID, and data exchange system,” which will serve as “a critical accelerator of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).”  Source

It’s all part of a devious and carefully orchestrated from the top down plan.

How To “Opt-Out” From The Big Tech Social Credit System

Crucial Steps You Need To Take Now To Protect Your Identity, Assets, And Sovereignty From Big Tech Elites

Update 10-15-23: The first version of this article was well-received. Thanks to everyone who took the time to send me feedback. Based on this, I updated the content and expanded the article with the latest developments and more options that people should know about. The state of tech is an ever-changing world, and kudos to you all who are actively watching.

The social credit system is already here in the United States, and its implications for our lives and our children are enormous.

For those who aren’t familiar with the topic, the Communist government of China has implemented a “scoring system” to gauge the “trustworthiness” of individuals and business entities in China.

Chinese citizens are monitored and surveilled in real-time, with consequences being potentially dire. This score is tied to what services you can access in society, including employment opportunities, the ability to use transportation systems, and access to government services.

While we may think that something so Orwellian cannot occur in the United States with its vibrant history of democracy and open freedoms, as talked about in this article, this system is already here. It has been quietly implemented through the corporate business community. Big Tech companies have long been willing to abuse terms of service agreements for their own benefit. This practice has now reached a new high after the COVID-19 pandemic. (See link for article on active steps you can take to protect yourself)

Secret government coercion of the business community is actively threatening our freedoms.  In short, we need to reduce our reliance upon Big Tech and remember we can only be controlled to the extent that our lives are dependent upon their services.

2024 WEF False Flag Coming

Journalist Whitney Webb

Nov. 30, 2023

Webb exposes the WEF false flag plan to carry out a massive cyber attack leading to systemic collapse of the global financial system in 2024 that will pave the wave for a regional war in the middle east.

A report published last year by the WEF-Carnegie Cyber Policy Initiative calls for the merging of Wall Street banks, their regulators and intelligence agencies as necessary to “reduce fragmentation,” and to confront an allegedly imminent cyber attack that will collapse the existing financial system.

Another section of the report details recommendations for controlling the narrative in the event such a crippling cyberattack takes place. The report’s authors argue that, “in the event of a crisis,” such as a devastating cyberattack on the global banking system, “social media companies should swiftly amplify communications by central banks” so that central banks may “debunk fake information” and “calm the markets.” 

Global corporate control is the goal

Given that these systems are set to be integrated with biometric IDs and so-called vaccine passports through the WEF and the Big Tech–backed  Vaccine Credential Initiative, it is worth considering the timing of the expected launch of such systems in determining when this predicted and allegedly inevitable event is likely to occur.  Source

While we can certainly rejoice over the following story and outcome of the unbelievable trial of a vilified doctor who was used by the government as an example of what can happen to dissenters, others are not faring so well.

  •  Attorney Reiner Fuellmich was arrested at the airport and is now in forced detention in Göttingen, Germany with no warm cloths, nothing to do, no private phone time, and no freedom to discuss his case.  Fuellmich has led the charge of an international investigation to uncover and expose the COVID ‘plandemic.’  GiveSendGo
  • NY is one step closer to attaining ultimate pandemic power by being able to designate certain classes of individuals as a “health threat,” forcibly relocating them to specially designated “housing facilities,” controlling what they do, and keeping them for as long as the government wants.  If this sounds just like a “quarantine camp” to you, according to AP fact-checkers, you would be wrong.
  • Head of the New Zealand Loyal party, Liz Gunn, is in flight for her safety.  She is on record stating that NZ is a “crime scene” due to the COVID shots where 400 deaths were linked to one vaccinator and the Maori were especially targeted.
  • Rather than refute the data, the New Zealand police have raided the home of the Health NZ whistleblower and arrested Barry Young (nickname: Winston Smith) who leaked COVID shot mortality data.  Apparently, he was just released.
    • Perhaps the bigger scandal is COVID Payola. Young designed the system for “providers” to get paid per shot given.
    • The data shows the jabs killed an estimated 13 million people globally (1 death per 1,000 doses). Youtube censored it within minutes of posting. The data has been validated by two of the world’s most highly respected experts on data, risk, and epidemiology; but true to form, the mainstream media and the “authorities” are framing it as “unauthorized disclosure and misuse of data,” or use the now highly overused term ‘misinformation.’ British MP Penny Mordaunt states it’s all been debunked around the world.  But Steve Kirsch presented data from 3 countries, including NZ, showing it has not been debunked at all.
    • Tellingly, there were 11,000 “vaccine” exemptions given in NZ reserved for the elites, politicians and media propagandists.  
    • Young took his data to the government first but was soundly ignored.  In fact, it appears to be doubling down on the “vaccine” democide, despite the Philippines investigating the excess, unexplained deaths.
    • Go here for “NZ’s COVID Vaccine Massacre Exposed”
    • And here for an update & dataset which can be used by every country to hold these criminals accountable.
It’s becoming harder by the day to continue the “safe and effective” mantra.

The $508 Billion Man

The $508 Billion Man, Eric Nepute, DC, DNM Naturopath, Chiropractor & functional medicine doctor was sued after recommending natural remedies to treat COVID. Hear how he was exonerated of all charges brought by the FTC & DOJ and turned down the DOJ’s settlement money attached to a gag order. 

With twenty years of experience under his belt, Nepute likened the first week of COVID to the ‘zombie apocalypse.’  With doctors and physicians calling his office, he simply advised them with 150 year old, simple homeopathic solutions for colds and flus which includes vitamin C IVs, ivermectin, HCQ, and high dose vitamin D and zinc, and they were working.

He met with a large group of doctors from around the world on Zoom called The World Doctor Alliance to share solutions with each other, but this quickly evolved to doctors sharing that the government was coming after them.  It wasn’t long and this personally happened to Nepute when he got a letter from the FTC telling him to cease from making any claims that vitamins treat or prevent COVID.

At the time there were already 112 papers that supported the benefits of vitamin D for COVID and 24 papers that supported zinc for COVID.

Initially hospital doctors called for advice on how to treat COVID but this suddenly and abruptly stopped.  Hospital doctors were no longer able to do anything that wasn’t under the EUA protocol, which included IV fluids, remdesivir and ventilators, for fear of being fired.

Nepute then got a call from his attorney which told him he broke the Guinness Book of World Records for being sued by the U.S. government for $508 Billion.

Nepute’s clinics treated over 11,000 patients for COVID.  They didn’t have ONE death.

Yet he and others like him fell prey to government “Whack a Mole” against doctors using a truly reprehensible mafioso tactic.  In short – the government bankrupts dissenters.

His case drug on for over three stressful years, and cost him over 5 Million dollars. He was debanked by five banks, and they even froze his wife’s accounts. Insurance companies dropped his patient’s ability to use insurance while under his care, cutting millions of dollars of income away from his practice.

Knowing they couldn’t win the case, the FTC gave him three choices, all of which but one involved money in exchange for a gag order (being unable to talk about the case).  Nepute chose freedom over money and is now exposing how the FTC, which had not changed their guidelines since 1998, just changed their guidelines for marketing and advertising regarding things you can say about supplements – the day after he said “no” to the settlement.  Currently 700 nutraceutical companies got a letter from the FTC which is now suddenly holding them to the same standard as Big Pharma stating they are violating the guidelines by not completing double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled studies on vitamins.

A standard which isn’t even required for “vaccines.”

Invasive Tick Found in 19 States Likely to be ‘Long-Term Problem,’ Ohio Researchers Warn

Story at a glance


  • The invasive Asian longhorned tick has now been confirmed in 19 states.

  • The ticks are now spreading rapidly across Ohio and are believed to be responsible for the death of three cattle due to severe blood loss.

  • The ticks can carry disease, though likely not Lyme.

(WJW) – An invasive species of tick known as the Asian longhorned tick, found in at least 18 other states, has been rapidly spreading across Ohio.

According to scientists from The Ohio State University, the ticks originally arrived in 2021. The ticks are believed to be responsible for the death of three cattle due to severe blood loss, according to Ohio State researchers.

Scientists from The Ohio State University are now conducting research focused on monitoring and managing these pests.  (See link for article)

**Comment**

This tick has been a concern from the get-go as they reproduce asexually without the need for a male and can lay thousands of eggs at one time, all hatching into females that will further lay thousands of their own eggs the following season.  They are aggressive biters and thousands can be on a single animal, draining them of their blood.  They are a real pest for cattle. So far, the only infection carried to the US is bovine theileriosis  (Theileriosis orientalis). The good news: This disease doesn’t affect humans, but it can cause severe blood loss and anemia in animals that have been infected. This malarial-like blood parasite primarily infects cattle, and diagnosing a herd can be difficult due to most presenting asymptomatically.

While there haven’t been any reported cases of tick-borne illness in humans in the U.S. due to Asian Longhorned ticks, the possibility is real.

In Asia, the ALT can transmit Dabie bandivirus, or severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) which has a 12-30% fatality rate.  In the U.S. a similar virus, Heartland Virus, is spread by Lone Star ticks and bears a close genetic relationship with SFTS.  Heartland Virus has not been found in US ALT populations but one recent study found ALT is capable of carrying and transmitting the virus to mice in a laboratory setting, warranting further research.

ALT can carry and transmit some spotted fevers but it’s unclear if they transmit to humans.

Although ALT larvae have shown the ability to contract the Lyme-causing bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi while feeding on infected mice, the transmission process likely stops there. Research indicates that borrelia is lost during the molting phase from larvae to nymphs, so it’s unlikely that ALT will significantly contribute to Lyme disease transmission.
