A UNIQUE PRESENTATION OF AN EM RASH

unique-EM-rash

The rash, indicative of Lyme disease, does not always present as a classic “bull’s-eye rash,” as this case report demonstrates. A broad spectrum of lesions has been reported in patients with Lyme disease (LD). In fact, one study found only 6% of the lesions in LD patients had the “classic bull’s-eye or ring-within-a-ring pattern.” [1]

By 

In the case report, “A Non-Classical Presentation of Erythema Migrans in a 51-Year-Old Woman With Early Manifestation of Lyme Neuroborreliosis (Bannwarth Syndrome),” Lorquet et al. describe a 51-year-old female who presented with general malaise, headache, neck stiffness, and an expanding rash consistent with Lyme neuroborreliosis.2

The woman reported having a worsening of her symptoms over a 4-day period and a rash which expanded on her upper back but she did not recall any tick bites.

“She stated that [the rash] started as a small area of redness, spreading rapidly,” the authors wrote.

Clinicians suspected she might have cellulitis and prescribed cephalexin and valacyclovir. But her symptoms did not improve.

“The “bull’s-eye” appearance of erythema migrans is not the only cutaneous manifestation of the acute stage of Lyme disease. There can be multiple variations of the rash, as demonstrated in the patient.”

According to the patient, “the rash had gotten larger and more pruritic [itchy] and that her headache had become more severe, also causing severe pain that radiated to the right side of her neck,” the authors wrote.

The erythema migrans (EM) rash covered two-thirds of her back and had a 5 cm crusted plaque in the center. There was a second circular rash that appeared, as well, behind the woman’s right ear.

Clinicians treated her symptoms with intravenous ondansetron, ketorolac, pantoprazole, and saline. But also empirically treated for Lyme disease with doxycycline.

After Lyme disease testing was positive, the woman was diagnosed with Lyme Neuroborreliosis, also known as Bannwarth syndrome in Europe.

Bannwarth syndrome (BS) is a typical manifestation of early Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) in Europe. It is characterized by painful radiculopathy, neuropathy, varying degrees of motor weakness and facial nerve palsy, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphocytic pleocytosis.3

“Several weeks later, the patient had made a full recovery and was back to her baseline level of functioning,” the authors wrote.

They point out, “The “bull’s-eye” appearance of erythema migrans is not the only cutaneous manifestation of the acute stage of Lyme disease. There can be multiple variations of the rash, as demonstrated in the patient.”

**Comment**

So many thoughts here.

  • The rash issue has caused frequent, unnecessary delays in diagnosis and treatment as doctors are not properly educated on actual science, but have been fed a CDC-narrative.  Most doctors are unaware that this rash is diagnostic for Lyme disease, and that misdiagnosis can have fatal consequences.
  • Aucott reports that 54% of Lyme disease patients who present without a rash are misdiagnosed.
  • The designation of Bannwarth Syndrome is also confusing and has caused massive misdirection.  The symptoms are nearly synonymous with most cases of Lyme & can cause severe burning, stabbing, biting, or tearing pain & responds poorly to analgesics:
    • radicular pain (100%)
    • sleep disturbances (75.3%)
    • headache (46.8%)
    • fatigue (44.2%)
    • malaise (39%)
    • paresthesia (32.5%)
    • peripheral nerve palsy (36.4%)
    • meningeal signs (19.5%)
    • paresis (7.8%)
  • This case study shows many of the problems that continue on unabated in Lymeland.

ACTION: EPA Abandons Science, Regulatory Requirements for a Novel RNA-Based Class of Pesticides

ACTION NEEDED: EPA Abandons Science, Regulatory Requirements for a Novel RNA-Based Class of Pesticides

In a stunning departure from regulatory norms, EPA has greenlit Ledprona for three years of commercial use—before the standard testing period is even complete. Your voice is needed.

JAMES LYONS-WEILER
OCT 19, 2023

UPDATE (10:52 am): I have written to the EPA to find out why the public comment option is not yet made available again at the Docket website. I will send out a new article when I hear back, hopefully with a resolution.

In an unprecedented move that has raised eyebrows and concerns alike, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has fast-tracked the approval of Ledprona, a novel pesticide based on RNA interference (RNAi) technology. This decision has far-reaching implications for environmental toxicology, ecosystem health, and human well-being. If you’re considering a deep dive into the world of environmental toxicology, this is a critical moment to engage. Here’s why your voice, backed by scientific understanding, is needed now more than ever.

The Science Behind RNAi Pesticides

RNA interference is a naturally occurring mechanism used by plants and insects to regulate gene expression. Ledprona, developed by GreenLight Biosciences, aims to exploit this mechanism to combat the Colorado Potato Beetle, a notorious agricultural pest. While the technology promises targeted pest control with minimal environmental impact, it’s essential to remember that RNAi in agriculture is still largely uncharted territory.

EPA’s Stunning Regulatory Bypass

The EPA granted Ledprona an Experimental Use Permit (EUP), allowing GreenLight Biosciences two years to gather data from limited test plots. Astonishingly, the agency has also greenlit Ledprona for three years of commercial use—before the standard testing period is even complete. This deviation from established regulatory norms raises questions about the EPA’s commitment to science-based policy.  (See link for article as well as to comment to the EPA).

How the Electric Company Tried to Con Me into a Smart Meter Today

How the electric company tried to con me into a smart meter today

After I had already filled in their form AND notified the town manager they were not allowed on my property to touch the existing meter

MERYL NASS
OCT 18, 2023

The utility company (in this case, Versant) owns the meter but I own the house it is attached to and the land it is on.

So when we were informed the meters would be changed out to a smart meter (which made one of my patients sick and has allegedly led to fires and very high, crazy bills in some areas) I told the town manager I would not accept a changeover and was instructed to write to the company with their form, which I did. I explained to both that changing the meter entailed trespassing, an illegal act.

Nonetheless, today a young man drove up and announced he was changing the meter. No, said I. Well, we will change it to a non-transmitting meter, he said—which comes with a $15/month service fee. No thanks, the old meter is working fine. Well, said he, I will give you the OPT-OUT form. While I had already sent one in, I thought I’d take a look at it.   (See link for article)

________________

SUMMARY – This is important:

  • Utility companies are doing a bait and switch by supposedly allowing an “opt out” (although this varies by state and to date Wisconsin has none); however, what they are really doing is installing a new meter that they call a “non-communicating” meter – but it’s the EXACT same Smart Meter they were going to install except they say they won’t turn on the communicator, which means they CAN turn it on anytime they want.  This is not freedom of choice.
  • Utility companies are misleading the public.
  • Take Action now by contacting your utility company, the Public Service Commission, and your representatives and tell them you want TRUE meter choice and you choose an old-fashioned analog meter that is safe, efficient, and doesn’t emit radiation.

    Smart Cities Killing All Life

    “Where I live in Australia,” wrote George, “we used to have many rain forest frogs, most famous is the green tree frog. The last time it rained I heard not one bleep. Even the Queensland cane toad has disappeared. After each rain the grass used to be covered with earthworms–not an earthworm on the grass anymore. We used to hear the cicadas chirping in the evening–I haven’t heard a chirp for over six years. All my fruit trees have no fruit. There are no insects, bees, spiders or even aphids on my roses. My area is well known as the smartest city in Australia and our close by bush are dead of any environmental life (bees, butterflies, moths, birds, flying bats, frogs, and native animals).”

His latest newsletter exposes how thousands of birds fell dead due to 4 and 5G.  He includes an excerpt from the following field survey:

“When birds are exposed to weak electromagnetic fields, they disorient and fly in all directions, which harm their natural navigational abilities. A large number of birds like pigeons, sparrows, swans are getting lost due to interference from the ‘unseen enemy’, i.e. mobile tower. It has also been noted of late that animals used near mobile towers are prone to various dangers and threats to life including still births, spontaneous abortions, birth deformities, behavioral problems and general decline on overall health. Electromagnetic pollution is a possible cause for deformations and decline of some amphibian populations too. Apart from birds and animals, electromagnetic radiation emanating from cell towers can also affect vegetable, crop and plants in its vicinity.”

The birds are truly the example of the “canary on the coal mine.”

Blood Clots, Myocarditis, Vasculitis, Difficulty Breathing, & The COVD Shot

October 18, 2023

**UPDATE**

There is now an obvious concern about receiving a blood transfusion using COVID ‘vaccinated’ blood.  This article based on a Twitter post relays an important patient case of a COVID ‘vaxxed’ blood transfusion causing blood clotting and pericarditis. Another unfortunate example of this is the death of a baby who died of blood clots after the hospital gave him a blood transfusion using “vaccinated” blood against the parents’ wishes. The hospital somehow managed to “lose” the specially donated unvaccinated blood by a family friend, so have an advocate with you if you are in the hospital.

Similarly to the redacted pages and blind refusal to admit the injections are even causing widespread blood and heart problems, researchers are carefully toeing the narrative by stooping so low as to compare the potential for life-altering health issues to a historical example of denying blood based upon race (the old race card). There is quite a difference between the two when you consider the potential life-altering damage or even death from COVID ‘vaxxed’ blood. It’s simply easier to call it all ‘misinformation.’  

You be the judge.

Blood Clots after COVID-19 Vaccination

Published Reports Represent the Tip of the Iceberg

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

Recently Health Feedback, a pro-vaccine false counterclaim, fact-checker blogging website made this statement:

When discussing safety, case reports always represent the tip of the iceberg since not all patients are contacted regarding health events after serial exposures to EUA mRNA or adenoviral DNA vaccination. I did a literature search on PUBMED and found 1046 listings for “COVID-19 vaccine” and “thrombosis.”  (See link for article)

McCullough reports the following:

  • Woo, et al reported a large number of blood clots in the US from the Janssen adenoviral DNA COVID-19 vaccine. They describe clots extending from the ankle to the groin.
  • Bekal et al reported cases of obvious mRNA vaccine induced thrombosis. The clots are in temporal relationship to the vaccine administration, not COVID-19.
  • Kaimori et al reported autopsy findings – the body was riddled with micro-blood clots (thrombotic microangiopathy [TMA]).
  • Tan et al a 2023 systematic review showed over 24,000 thrombotic events have been reported, the majority of which have been associated with adenoviral vector-based vaccine

“Any blogger downplaying safety concerns is a public health risk. Always, safety first.” ~ Dr. Peter McCullough

Pfizer and BioNTech Receive U.S. FDA Approval for 2023-2024 COVID-19 Vaccine

Excerpt:

Authorized or approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines show increased risks of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining outside the heart), particularly within the first week following vaccination. For COMIRNATY, the observed risk is highest in males 12 through 17 years of age. Seek medical attention right away if you have any of the following symptoms after receiving the vaccine, particularly during the 2 weeks after receiving a dose of the vaccine.

Direct Cardiac Effects of mRNA-Based SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines

Isolated Cardiomyocyte Study Finds Dysfunction within 48 Hours

 
PETER MCCULLOUGH, MD
OCT 18, 2023
 
Excerpts:

There have been many drugs that have never made it on the market because they cause heart rhythm disturbances. Because the COVID-19 vaccines were rushed in development, preclinical cardiac toxicity studies were skipped. Now three years into the disastrous COVID-19 vaccine campaign, we are learning that probably every person sustains some degree of heart dysfunction or damage within 48 hours of the shot.

This means that mRNA coding for foreign protein is taken up by heart cells and it makes them sick with abnormalities of contraction and electrical conduction. This is very bad news for all mRNA products. If heart muscle cells cannot be excluded from biodistribution of mRNA, this means every new mRNA vaccine could cause heart problems including cardiac arrest.

“Vaccine” Vasculitis

Oct. 15, 2023

Dr. Philip McMillan

The latest research outcome has highlighted the occurrence of vasculitis related to vaccination. This all fits within the paradigm of autoimmunity, so no surprises here.

Similarly to vasculitis being driven by inflammation, see this article on how the Spike Protein transforms the vasculature to stone:  SARS-CoV-2 infection triggers pro-atherogenic inflammatory responses in human coronary vessels.

Difficulty Breathing

  • 24,470 people had breathing difficulty after the Pfizer shot.
  • 19,141 people had breathing difficulty after the Moderna shot.
  • 4,957 people had breathing difficulty after the J&J shot.

COVID-19 Infection Rates in Vaccinated and Unvaccinated Inmates: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Luke Ko 1, Gary Malet 2, Lisa L Chang 3, Huu Nguyen 2, Robert Mayes 2

Free PMC article

Abstract

Background

In 2023, breakthrough COVID-19 infections among vaccinated individuals and reinfections in previously infected people have become common. Additionally, infections are due to Omicron subvariants of the virus that behave differently from those at the onset of the pandemic. Understanding how vaccination and natural immunity influence COVID-19 infection rates is crucial, especially in high-density congregate settings such as prisons, to inform public health strategies.

Methods

We analyzed COVID-19 surveillance data from January to July 2023 across 33 California state prisons, primarily a male population of 96,201 individuals. We computed the incidence rate of new COVID-19 infections among COVID-bivalent-vaccinated and entirely unvaccinated groups (those not having received either the bivalent or monovalent vaccine).

Results

Our results indicate that the infection rates in the bivalent-vaccinated and entirely unvaccinated groups are 3.24% (95% confidence interval (CI): 3.06-3.42%) and 2.72% (CI: 2.50-2.94%), respectively, with an absolute risk difference of only 0.52%. When the data were filtered for those aged 50 and above, the infection rates were 4.07% (CI: 3.77-4.37%) and 3.1% (CI: 2.46-3.74%), respectively, revealing a mere 0.97% absolute risk difference. Among those aged 65 and above, the infection rates were 6.45% (CI: 5.74-7.16%) and 4.5% (CI: 2.57-6.43%), respectively, with an absolute risk difference of 1.95%.

Conclusion

We note low infection rates in both the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, with a small absolute difference between the two across age groups. A combination of monovalent and bivalent vaccines and natural infections likely contributed to immunity and a lower level of infection rates compared to the height of the pandemic. It is possible that a degree of ‘herd immunity’ has been achieved. Yet, using p<0.05 as the threshold for statistical significance, the bivalent-vaccinated group had a slightly but statistically significantly higher infection rate than the unvaccinated group in the statewide category and the age ≥50 years category. However, in the older age category (≥65 years), there was no significant difference in infection rates between the two groups. This suggests that while the bivalent vaccine might offer protection against severe outcomes, it may not significantly reduce the risk of infections entirely. Further research is needed to understand the reasons behind these findings and to consider other factors, such as underlying health conditions. This study underscores the importance of developing vaccines that target residual COVID-19 infections, especially in regard to evolving COVID-19 variants.

Please see video:  https://www.theepochtimes.com/epochtv/study-hits-newly-vaccinated-with-bad-news-facts-matter  Video Excerpt:

  • 96,201 inmates
  • 2,835 COVID cases
  • 1,187 of those cases were boosted
  • 1,080 of those cases were “vaccinated”
  • 568 of those cases were unvaccinated showing yet again the superior advantage of natural immunity

The study showed the boosted have a 20% higher risk (statistically significant) of getting COVID compared to the unvaccinated.

While the authors state boosters might offer protection against severe outcomes, they offer zero data to support this notion.  It is also worth mentioning that the federal government approved the latest booster formulation without ANY clinical trial data or ANY data on efficacy.  All that exists at this point are some observational studies that do not follow up for any significant length of time.

_______________

**Comment**

Interestingly, another prison study in Nature used to promote COVID shot effectiveness has been thoroughly dismantled as it removes 99% of the data.

The Cleveland Clinic study looking at over 51,000 people found that the more “vaccine” doses, the higher the risk of infection.

More research continues to show that over time there is actually NEGATIVE effectiveness:

But does any of this matter in the topsy-turvy world of COVID?  Nope.
