Please share your experience living with Lyme disease!

The NH Lyme Disease Study Commission (2020-2021) concluded that Lyme disease testing (two-tier serology) is unreliable in ALL STAGES of disease:

Laura Hovind’s letter to the Chair of the NH Lyme Disease Study Commission:

Dear Representative Cushman,

Thank you for your interest in improving Lyme disease diagnostics and advocating for the rights of Lyme sufferers in New Hampshire and beyond. I am the founder of a 501(c)3 action-oriented, patient-led Lyme organization called TruthCures. Our singular focus is rectifying the fraudulent case definition which was adopted by the CDC and FDA to facilitate late-phase trials and approval of SmithKline/Yale’s vaccine, LYMErix.

Without the falsified case definition and reverse-engineered testing scheme, they would not have been able to claim efficacy in phase III LYMErix trials. Despite the vaccine having been withdrawn after three years, the fraudulently adopted diagnostics remain, nearly three decades later. The result of this fraud is that the sickest patients are unable to obtain a Lyme diagnosis. Worse still, the perpetrators have spent decades propagating disinformation about Lyme to cover their tracks. They downplay the disease’s seriousness, dismiss victims as “loonies” or hypochondriacs, and abuse their power to ensure the current dire situation of zero-care is perpetuated.

In June 1994, the FDA’s Vaccines & Related Biologics Product Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) held a meeting where the stated primary question was, “Is the CDC case definition for Lyme disease appropriate for a pivotal efficacy trial?” Participants of that meeting included CDC and FDA officers, and representatives of all three pharmaceutical companies that had Lyme disease vaccines in development, among others.

Raymond Dattwyler, a researcher/physician from State University of New York – Stony Brook stated that seronegative patients are sicker: “The ones that failed to mount a vigorous immune response tended to do worse, clinically. So, there was an inverse correlation between the degree of serologic response and the outcome. So, individuals with a poor immune response tend to have worse disease.” He was arguing that the proposed testing scheme—to require a broad spectrum of borrelial antibodies for positive diagnosis—was antithetical to the science which had demonstrated those who produced few or no Lyme antibodies were sicker. The CDC published this fact in the January 25, 1991 “Lyme Disease Surveillance Summary” by the Centers for Disease Control Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases. They described the difficulty in diagnosing Lyme disease using the serology methods available at the time. They found “no association between the [1988] case definition and seropositivity” but that late Lyme arthritis cases were associated with seropositivity. That means the CDC was well aware of seronegative Lyme disease. In other words, an indeterminate proportion of victims would not be able to test positive despite being infected.

Allen Steere, credited as one of the discoverers of Lyme disease, concurred. Steere’s 1993 report, “Association of Treatment-Resistant Chronic Lyme Arthritis with HLA-DR4 and Antibody Reactivity to OspA and OspB of Borrelia burgdorferi” went a step further, describing a genetic association between a high-antibody response and the arthritis outcome. Arthritis patients with specific “HLAs” showed an antibody response while only one of the patients with meningitis, neuroborreliosis or a bullseye rash (which by itself is diagnostic of Lyme disease) showed antibody reactivity.  “When single serum samples from 80 patients with Lyme arthritis were tested, 57 (71%) showed antibody reactivity to recombinant Osp proteins; in contrast, none of 43 patients who had erythema migrans or Lyme meningitis (P < 0.00001) and 1 of 5 patients who had chronic neuroborreliosis but who never had arthritis (P = 0.03) showed antibody reactivity to these proteins.”

Lyme disease diagnostics were rigged to identify those cases that are genetically predisposed to mount a strong immune response and experience minor symptoms of arthritis. Meanwhile, the meningitis and neuroborreliosis cases—those who now identify as “chronic Lyme” victims—were left to fend for themselves without a diagnosis, treatment, or even belief from doctors that they are actually sick. Documents that support these claims are linked within my Website page, https://www.truthcures.org/testing-fraud How has the CDC perpetuated the fraudulent diagnostic scheme? In a bizarre exercise of circular logic, their Lyme serum repository screens samples using their bogus case definition. All research, all new test kits, all vaccine trials, all inclusionary/exclusionary criteria for anything Lyme-related is corrupted and excludes the people who are sick. Unless the CDC case definition is rectified, we will forever be trapped in the false reality created by SmithKline, Yale, and a cadre of scientists who sought to profit from the Lyme epidemic without regard for human suffering.

TruthCures met in 2019 with the Assistant U.S. Attorney and FBI Healthcare Fraud Unit in Boston. We were encouraged to seek whistleblower representation, but we are not convinced a qui tam case is viable, due to the public disclosure bar and other issues. We continue to seek legal representation so we can pursue justice for all victims in whatever type of action is most expedient. In addition to legal pursuits, I am interested in working with any individuals or entities committed to righting this horrendous wrong. Please feel free to contact me by email or by phone if I can be of any assistance with the work of your commission. In addition, Carl Tuttle, a member of the commission, is a friend, and he understands much of what I’ve laid out for you here. Thank you very much, Laura Hovind CEO/Executive Director, truthcures.org

The CDC insisting upon using its own patented tests is not new, nor is it likely to change unless the public health monopoly is broken.
There have been untold numbers of patients harmed by faulty testing besides Lyme/MSIDS patients.  For example, while Biden just declared the COVID pandemic over during a “60 minutes” interview, Medpage Today is still decrying that hundreds are still dying from the virus every day.  Oh really?
They obviously have forgotten that the COVID PCR test which the entire house of cards is built upon is faulty in every sense of the word and should not be used to declare case numbers or deaths as it can’t distinguish between COVID and the flu or even variants.  And, then there’s the whole “died with” vs “died from” debacle.  Please remember that thousands die from the flu every single year, although all numbers are suspect because the CDC has been caught in numerous scams regarding data manipulation.
Flu deaths are now being counted as COVID deaths because for every COVID death, the hospitals get a financial kick-back – not to mention, family members get the decease’s funeral paid for by the government. Think I’m spoofing you?  Look it up yourself see the staggering money grab: https://www.fema.gov/press-release/20220606/fema-covid-19-funeral-assistance-state-state-breakdown
Our state of WI had nearly 8,500 applications, approx. 6,500 awards, to the tune of nearly 44 MILLION dollars.  Yes people, this is big business with lots of money flowing around and lots of reasons to lie about cause of death.

For a great history lesson regarding the creation of the faulty Lyme tests still used today:  https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2020/02/10/the-bitter-feud-over-lymerix/  Weintraub shows how the most specific band for Lyme was removed because it competed with vaccine development.

BTW: corrupt health ‘authorities’ vilify any test they don’t have a vested interest in – including CLA-certified Lyme tests which are far more sensitive.

Ahead of the Curve Interview With Dr. Alan McDonald

Episode 300: Ahead of the Curve – an interview with Dr. Alan McDonald

Dr. Alan MacDonald is an Ivy League educated Medical Doctor who worked as a hospital pathologist in the eastern Long Island, New York area at the outset of the modern Lyme disease pandemic. He and his pioneering work were first featured on episode 171 of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast.

In this comprehensive interview, Dr. MacDonald discusses his groundbreaking and yet to be published research findings on topics such as the Lyme disease connection to suicide, brain cancer, Leukemia, dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease, in addition to how acute Lyme disease disrupts liver function and why and how Lyme disease testing is flawed.

PS you can also view an exclusive Tick Boot Camp presentation created by Dr. MacDonald with photos of Lyme under a microscope and descriptions highlighting the various topics discussed in this interview

Check out his GoFundMe page  to help him continue his groundbreaking work.

McDonald has truly done ground-breaking work but has been vilified by many of his own colleagues who seemingly can’t think outside the box or accept new information. Go here to watch other videos where he shows parasitosis (Neural Larval Migrans) within MS patients as he discovered nematode worms, eggs and both larval forms and mating adult pairs present in the brain and spinal fluid of MS patients.  These videos are circa 2016 and are revolutionary yet are quietly collecting dust and simply ignored in mainstream research.

At 5 min and 51 sec into the 2016 London lecture, you will see the discovery of worms in the brain and spinal fluid of EVERY MS patient tested.  He also explains the difficulty in finding these worms as they move from one area to another.

These worms cause inflammation and damage in the CNS on their own but also infect us with Lyme and other infections. 

CLICK HERE to view the research poster of Dr. MacDonald’s discovery of filarial (small roundworms) in the central nervous system of MS patients at their time of death.

CLICK HERE to view the research poster of Dr. MacDonald’s discovery of tapeworm larva and developing juvenile tapeworms in the central nervous system of MS patients at their time of death.

What this means regarding treatment, is that if you are one of those patients with these worms, you need to disable/kill the worms to get to the borrelia/MSIDS inside them.  Anthelminitics such as ivermectin and Albenza are used to kill worms as well as natural medicines; however, this must be done under the supervision of a doctor as the inflammation and herxheimer reactions can be very great. 

For some patients, addressing worms is a game-changer.  Consider talking to your LLMD about it.

Studies Show Doctors Still Rely on “Non-Evidence Based” Judgement in the Absence of RCT’s

September 16, 2022

**COMMENT**

I post this information because it’s a rampant issue in Lymeland.  Doctors have simply stopped thinking.  They now follow dictates from government bureaucrats in Washington who are in bed with Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Media, and research institutions.

We desperately need to break the public health monopoly and allow doctors the freedom to think again.  As it stands, doctors are afraid to diagnose and treat  Lyme/MSIDS patients, COVID patients, and any other disease that is being politically controlled.

2 Studies Showing Doctors Still Rely on “Non-Evidence Based” Judgement in the Absence of RCT’s

It’s only certain covid treatments where there’s nihilistic clinical paralysis

Ashmedai

One of the more damning behaviors by the medical community throughout the pandemic was what Dr. McCullough termed “therapeutic nihilism” – the systematic refusal to even try treating covid patients. Doctors the world over fell victim to their own unique mass formation psychosis whereby they suddenly ‘forgot’ how to apply their knowledge and experience to a patient with a novel disease condition – in other words, the very act of “doctoring”.  (See link for article)

_________________

A Few points:

  • ‘It’s the incentives, stupid’.  People generally act in consonance with what they are incentivized to do.  The Cares Act incentivized hospitals and doctors to only use FDA “approved” treatments that government employees own the patents on and benefit financially from.

  • Dr. Kory reported6 that after the first few months of covid, nursing homes tried Ivermectin and saw that it worked, which was a big part of why nursing homes were a tiny % of covid deaths after being responsible for the lion’s share of covid mortality at the beginning.
  • Nursing homes and other types of long-term care facilities only make money on patients who are living. Thus they were incentivized to keep their patient populations alive, which they did. (It helped that nursing homes have in-house pharmacies too, so they could compound their own Ivermectin without dealing with the government bureaucracies or medical cartel organizations.)
  • Hospitals, on the other hand, were financially incentivized to:

Sen. Ron Johnson: Pandemic Politics & America’s Covid Cartel

Senator Ron Johnson has been a champion for freedom since well before the Covid Pandemic. In this mind-blowing interview, he sits down with Del to expose the dirty pandemic politics that drove America’s Covid Debacle.

It’s all right here.

Dirty politics, and a Lyme Cartel have also ruled in Lymeland for over 40 years and continues to this day.  There are many similarities between how COVID and Lyme have been handled for many of the same reasons.  COVID and Lyme research are biased and designed for pre-determined outcomes.

The COVID debacle has shown the world what’s been going on in Lymeland for decades, but will the public wake up to it?

Congenital Lyme Part 2

First-hand experiences of diagnostic challenges from the mothers whose children are impacted by Congenital Lyme Disease.

Congenital Lyme has been denied and ignored by public health ‘authorities’ for decades. They recently had to admit it happens, although per usual they state it’s “rare,” which is frankly impossible for them to know because nobody’s keeping track of it.  Why on earth are patients and advocates still crying for more federal funding for an organization that lies, suppresses, deletes, & manipulates data, and is in frank denial of a very real disease that is increasing by the day, and causes untold suffering, but then quietly updates information in the dark without any public announcement because they are conducting damage control?

Defund the CDC!
