Kentucky has the fastest growing lyme disease outbreak in the US, insurance data suggests – while disease is also surging in West Virginia, Ohio and Nebraska, as experts warn more forest cover is allowing diseased ticks to advance south

  • Insurance claims data showed Kentucky, West Virginia, Idaho, Ohio and Nebraska had the biggest upticks
  • But New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts had the largest outbreaks in the country, data showed
  • Experts said that ticks were expanding their range thanks to growing forest cover and deer populations
  • But surging awareness of the disease thanks to high-profile cases such as Shania Twain may also be behind some of the uptick in insurance claims
  • FAIR Health – which has one of the largest databases in the country – collected the data

Kentucky has the fastest growing Lyme disease outbreak in America, insurance claims data suggests — as experts warn global warming is allowing more aggressive northern ticks to advance into southern and midwestern states. 

Statistics showed Kentucky was recording 10 claims per 100,000 people in 2021, up from just five in 2016 — a doubling in five years. West Virginia, Idaho, Ohio and Nebraska each also saw claims surge more than 60 percent over the same period.

Experts warn that higher seasonal temperatures have opened up new habitats for ticks in more mountainous areas, which may be fueling the rise in cases.  (See link for article)

For anyone paying attention at all to the events of  the past two years, it’s become obvious that things are often not what they seem.  Public health officials have lied repeatedly due to severe conflicts of interest, and science has been hijacked to the highest bidder.  The corruption in an unholy alliance between government, Big Pharma, mainstream media, research institutions and scientific journals has finally been exposed for what it truly is.

When you understand this simple albeit painful truth, it also then becomes obvious that science has been completely politicized and can not be trusted at face value. This is clearly seen in the area of “global warming,” and is a rouse to obtain access to huge government funding and unbridled power to monopolize and control by imposing ludicrous, ineffective regulations that are unobtainable and will destroy entire economies.  While there are definitely environmental concerns, “global warming” is being used to divert attention away from climate engineering – which is very real.

There’s a similar thing happening in Lymeland.  Like an experienced magician using slight of hand, we are told repeatedly in a mantra that ticks are migrating and transmitting disease due to a warming climate.  This has been proven to be false by independent researchers who do not have to cow-tow to the political message to obtain highly sought after government research grants.  The spin-masters want our attention on the climate rather than on the fact our own government is behind tick and disease proliferation.  This is pointed out in Kris Newby’s book “Bitten,” as well as through interviews with people who have studied this for decades. Bioweaponization of things found in nature is not new, and the government will do anything to cover this up – including lie using propaganda techniques.  They then come after others who disagree with anything they say and accuse them of the very things they do themselves.

Don’t be fooled by the accepted narrative no matter how many times it is repeated.
Question everything and do your own homework.  Make sure you are getting information from multiple sources – particularly ones that disagree.

WA man hospitalized with tick-borne disease. Here’s how to keep yourself safe

By  

Seattle Times staff reporter
The first local human case of anaplasmosis, a tick-borne disease, was reported this month in Washington state.

The case was discovered on Aug. 8 after a Whatcom County man in his 80s was hospitalized with severe disease after working in the brush in Mason County, according to the Washington State Department of Health. The man, likely bitten by an infected tick, is recovering.

While human cases of anaplasmosis have been identified in the state before, this is the first case that did not involve travel outside of Washington. There have been cases of dogs diagnosed with anaplasmosis after being bit within the state, DOH said.

In humans, symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches and nausea and typically begin within one to two weeks of a tick bite. There is no vaccine to prevent the disease, which is treatable with antibiotics, according to DOH.

The disease is spread by the western blacklegged tick, which is found in the western parts of the state and along the eastern slopes of the Cascades.

“Not all tick bites will cause disease,” said Washington state epidemiologist Scott Lindquist in a news release. “However, people across Washington are at risk for tick-borne illnesses and should take precautions to prevent tick bites.”

Science is Retiring in December.

Scientists around the world are scrambling to figure out what to do with their lives, since Science itself will be retiring in December, 2022
James Lyons-Weiler

Science, who has been running the NIAID and who has been serving on President Biden’s COVID-19 task force, has announced (for the second time) that it will be resigning and moving on to new ventures.

Since Science will be retiring, millions of Scientists around the world are now scrambling to figure how they will be making a living.

Some have speculated (against decree) that it’s really just Dr. Anthony Fauci retiring, not Science itself. Others are baffled by such claims, and believe this is just misinformation.

To make matters worse, mainstream media have used the term “Dr. Anthony Fauci” in a manner inconsistent with him being Science incarnate – leaving the public puzzled.  (See link for article)

Tucker: Fauci ‘Engineered the Single Most Devastating Event in American History,’ Retires as a Hero

By

CARLSON: “… it’s not Fauci who has been damaged by this kind of behavior serially over the years. It’s anyone who criticized him. The Biden Administration arrested one of Tony Fauci’s top critics, Peter Navarro.”  (See news video in link above)

There are now calls from politicians and media personalities for Fauci to be investigated and jailed.  One senator has demanded that HHS preserve all records related to Fauci and Collins.  Another senator has asked the acting director of the NIH to preserve all documents and communications within Fauci’s possession relating to his tenure at NIH.

Daily Wire host, Michael Knowles, an outspoken critic of Fauci, states that Fauci’s tenure has pocketed the most money out of any other federal employee, yet his record is “one of absolute failure.”

“Deception, intentional lies, incompetence, screw-ups going all the way back to AIDS — all the way up through the 90s — especially right after the war on terror,” Knowles said.

Why Fauci Won’t Be Missed

Good riddance to bad science

and • August 22, 2022 

Dr. Anthony Fauci, 81, is finally stepping down. The chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden said Monday he will be “moving on” from his career in medical bureaucracy but is “not retiring in the classic sense.” He will formally exit the Biden administration at the end of the year, after which the liberal sex symbol said he plans to “devote himself to traveling, writing and encouraging young people to enter government service.”

The good doctor will not be missed. Fauci is leaving at a time when public trust in the medical bureaucracy is at an all-time low. His so-called leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to a cult of freaks who cheered as children suffered due to prolonged school closures. Fauci and his fellow health “experts” gave widely inconsistent advice throughout the pandemic while accusing their critics of being “anti-science.”  (See link for article)

Yet, despite all the horrific things this man has done and gotten away with, many in the public worship the ground he walks upon, and are even writing children’s books about him.  Others; however, are selling merch far closer to the truth.  The question we are all asking is will he be held accountable for his actions?  I’m not holding my breath.

Head of NIAID for 7 presidencies, he’s been at the helm of every ‘pandemic’ that wasn’t:

Pfizer CEO Tests Positive for COVID, Tweets He’s Grateful for Quadruple Vax and Paxlovid

Pfizer CEO Tests Positive for COVID, Tweets He’s Grateful for Quadruple Vax and Paxlovid Treatment

by The Hill
Published August 22, 2022 | Best in Video

Albert Bourla is the CEO of Pfizer and just announced on Twitter that he has COVID. He said, “I would like to let you know that I tested positive for COVID-19. I am thankful to have received four doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and I am feeling well while experiencing mild symptoms. I am isolating and have started a course of Paxlovid.” … He’s 60, this guy is not at a high risk, so the argument they would make is that the more doses you’ve gotten, while it won’t prevent the spread, which they told us it would but it won’t prevent you from getting it but the symptoms will be milder.

Despite all the evidence in reality, data proving the ineffectiveness of BOTH the shots AND paxlovid, predictably the CEO of Pfizer must keep the narrative rolling.  There’s lots of money to be made.

Scientists: No Evidence for ‘Chemical Imbalance” Causing Depression

Depression and ‘Chemical Imbalance’ — Big Pharma Profits From Theory Scientists Say Doesn’t Exist

After reviewing decades of research, a group of University College London scientists concluded there’s no evidence changes in serotonin levels cause depression. But the chemical imbalance theory — which overnight gave drugmakers a highly profitable income stream, doctors a ready-made, patient-pleasing tool, the media, reliable new advertisers and Wall Street, hot new stocks — remains popular.

big pharma profit depression chemical imbalance feature

By Martha Rosenberg

“Lexapro appears to relieve the symptoms of depression and anxiety by increasing serotonin,” says an ad on the Bonkers Institute, a website that archives drug ads and also satirizes pharma claims and shaky science.

“Zoloft works to correct a chemical imbalance in the brain which may be related to symptoms of depression,” another ad says.

“Paxil CR blocks serotonin from being reabsorbed back into the sending nerve cell. This process increases the availability of serotonin to the receiving nerve cell and may help message [depression] transmission return to normal,” a third ad says.

As many Epoch Times readers may have heard, the serotonin “chemical imbalance” theory of depression was recently put to rest by a group of University College London scientists in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

After reviewing decades of research, there’s no evidence that serotonin levels or serotonin activity are responsible for depression, they wrote.

________________

SUMMARY:

  • Similarly to the Cabals that control research in Alzheimer’s, Cancer, and Lyme/MSIDS (among many others), a cabal has also controlled mental health  with a false narrative that has literally driven the entire mental health field.
  • This control has snuffed out any dissenting voices – forcing the flow of money, research, and effort through a narrow straw of singular thought. 
  • In mental health, the singular narrative is the basis for profitable selective seratonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs used for depression despite being questioned for decades by scientists.
  • SSRIs have caused severe side effects, withdrawals, and are known to increase bone loss and fracture risk, as well as the risk of the dreaded intestinal condition of Clostridium difficile, yet prescription rates continue to rise.  The good news for Big Pharma is that these side effects will necessitate yet more prescriptions – making lifelong customers.  What a business model!
    • Harvard Health Publishing estimated that about 1 in 4 American women in their 40s and 50s were taking antidepressants
    • The faulty “chemical imbalance of seratonin causing depression” theory allowed drug makers and doctors a ready-made, patient pleasing tool not to mention hot new profitable stocks. Worldwide sales of SSRIs have been estimated to soar as high as $18.29 billion by 2027.
  • Psychiatrists and the American Psychiatric Association (APA) are highly funded by Big Pharma – and 70% of the authors of the APA’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders were funded directly by Big Pharma (sound familiar?). These, BTW, were the first to push back against the Molecular Psychiatry article refuting the serotonin theory.

Important quote:

As Mark Horowitz, co-author of the Molecular Psychiatry article, put it, “One interesting aspect in the studies we examined was how strong an effect adverse life events played in depression, suggesting low mood is a response to people’s lives and cannot be boiled down to a simple chemical equation.”

If depression comes from stress, trauma, grief, loneliness and social conditions such as poverty, as Horowitz suggests, it wouldn’t be amenable to medication treatment.

Regarding depression, and mental health in general, I found that my low mood paralleled with how I felt physically.  In other words, the worse I felt physically, the worse I felt mentally.  Getting to the root of the problem (infections) with appropriate, effective antimicrobial treatment is key and the best and first place to start; however, as always – we are all so very different.

Some patients will really have to deal with past trauma like my husband.  The more trauma that happened to you before you became infected, the more this will rear its ugly head.  Nobody really talks about this, but it is yet another crucial issue as we must deal with the body, mind, and spirit. Since Lyme/MSIDS infects the brain, it does a number on your emotions as well as your hormones, neurotransmitters, etc. – all of which can extrapolates out to having to deal with things you thought you had forgotten or dealt with long ago.  Nope.  It all comes back to haunt you in the wee hours of the night when you have unrelenting insomnia.  Developing tools/skills to deal with this will be another challenge in this pot-holed riddled journey.  I’m no expert in this but for us we talked and prayed a lot – often between the hours of 3-5 a.m.  Here’s a few resources, particularly on fear as this is a common emotion of Lyme/MSIDS patients as they struggle with feeling no longer in control of their body and mind:

Inflammation appears to be a huge disease driver and lowering inflammation will help every other issue.  There are many things you can experiment with at home and as always – bounce things off of your doctor to make sure what you add doesn’t have negative interactions with what you are already taking.  Lyme literate doctors are versed in all of this as it’s a common problem for those struggling with infections.

My only advice is only try ONE thing at a time so you can track progress and know if it’s helping or not.  No sense in paying for things that don’t work.  If it doesn’t help – drop it and move on to experiment #2, 3, 4 and so on until you find something that helps.  IF something helps BUT you can still improve, then it’s time to begin layering in other things ONE AT A TIME, making sure to keep track of responses.  This has been how we have gotten to the other side of health.  Effective, antimicrobial treatment for Lyme/MSIDS was the BIG important necessary step, but then we have had to add in many supplements/treatments to lessen and eliminate symptoms that remained.

Knowing when something is driven by infection vs when something is driven by inflammation, or other causes will test your sleuthing abilities like nothing else.

Notice how the patient in the article had a mold problem.  In my experience, patients who have tick-borne illness and mold are some of the sickest people I know.  The mold MUST be dealt with or the patient will not improve.  The same could be said about having MCAS, the inability to detox, and so many other issues.
