How to Treat Persister Lyme & Bartonella

By Dr. Marty Ross

Persister Lyme in a Lyme disease treatment image from Marty Ross MD

I provide a large part of the information in this article in A Lyme Disease Antibiotic Guide and in Kills Bartonella: A Brief Guide. I am including this information as a stand-alone article on persisters for those looking for information just on this topic and additional persister treatment options from those I lay out in the Lyme and Bartonella articles.

About Persister Lyme & Bartonella

There are many reasons Lyme and Bartonella are hard to treat. One reason is persister Lyme and Bartonella germs ignore standard antibiotics. Based on numerous laboratory experiments since 2015, the Lyme germ is shown to have a growth state and a hibernating – non-growing state. These hibernators are called persisters. They do not respond to regular prescription antibiotics – although they do seem to respond to many herbal antibiotics that we use.

More recently – experiments starting in late 2019 from Ying Zhang, MD and his colleagues, show that Bartonella also has persister forms.  (See link for article)

SUMMARY of treatments Dr. Ross uses for Lyme and/or Bartonella persisters:

  • Disulfiram
  • Methylene Blue
  • Cefuroxime plus Clarithromycin plus Nitazonxanide
  • Oregano, Cinnamon, and Clove oils
  • Japanese knotweed
  • Cat’s claw
  • Azlocillin

I highly recommend reading Ross’ entire article as there are many nuances within it including Dr. Burrascano‘s use of cycling.  He and numerous patients achieved remission using this approach and current research appears to support the practice.  Not only is cycling effective, it gives the body, particularly the gut, a much needed break from harsh antibiotics.

The first major deadline to stop the WHO power grab is May 22, 2022 before their meeting in Geneva.

The first and most urgent assault on liberty and self-government involves a series of 13 controversial amendments being proposed by the Biden administration to the WHO’s so-called International Health Regulations (IHR). The details of the amendments were only released publicly — and very quietly — about a month ago.

WHO & Global Predators Plot Global “Health” Tyranny

The United Nations World Health Organization and the “global predators” behind it are plotting to further empower the WHO to become a proto-global health regime, warns Harvard-educated psychiatrist Dr. Peter Breggin in this interview on Conversations That Matter with The New American magazine. The changes to the WHO’s International Health Regulations, which were proposed by the Biden administration, would hand vast new powers to the global health bureaucracy, including the power to act without a nation’s consent. This will pass “unless there’s an outrage that stops it dead in it’s tracks.”
Dr. Breggin warned.
Dr. Breggin and his wife wrote the book “COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We Are the Pray”
Go here for an article that spells out how the WHO has planned for 10 years of infectious diseases, from 2020-2030 and see powerful videos spotlighting the perpetrators, proving COVID is a false pandemic created for political purposes.
Go here for an excellent short interview with German attorney Dr. Reiner Fuellmich where he explains how the WHO needed COVID cases to get this whole ball rolling. They got their cases fraudulently by using a PCR test at 45 cycles of amplification which gives over a 90% false positive rate, but this corruption doesn’t bother the WHO.  They wanted cases and they got them.  Even the president of Tanzania (RIP) comically proved the worthlessness of the test back in 2020, and an Austrian lawmaker tested cola for COVID-19 and it too was predictably positive.
In fact, COVID tests are being regularly recalled due to contamination, lack of data, and inaccuracies.
Yet, the drum beats on.  Truth, data, and ethics don’t matter.
The WHO, and other corrupt pubic health ‘authorities’ will stoop as low as it takes to create ‘pandemics’ to get the ball rolling for lucrative vaccines and drugs that they all have vested interests in.  Do not trust them at all. The proposed amendments would give the WHO virtually unlimited power to declare pandemics, quarantining villages and nations, locking down societies, and forcing medical “treatments” such as ‘vaccines’ and dangerous and ineffective drugs like remdesivir.
But, it doesn’t stop there.
Once an emergency is declared, the WHO can partner with other corrupt global agencies such as the UN to oversee food, agriculture, aviation, the environment and much more. The COVID ‘pandemic’ has allowed us to clearly see how easily it is to muzzle doctors, force them to follow dictates by bureaucrats, and keep them from practicing medicine – a phenomenon Lyme/MSIDS patients already must contend with.
Further, a WHO whistleblower states the WHO:
“issues directives that were totally not commensurate to the situation.”
“They are so sneaky,” she said. “They are going to take the instrument that will be adopted the quickest, and the instrument likely to be adopted the quickest is the International Health Regulations.”
“We have to be liberated from the United Nations,” said Stuckelberger before urging everyone to contact their elected officials, attorneys, and others in a bid to derail the WHO power grab. ~ Dr. Astrid Stuckelberger

Sign this Petition support H.R. 419 to defund the WHO and its power grab which violates the U.S. Constitution and our freedoms.

How a COVID Misdiagnosis Revealed Deadly Aromatherapy Outbreak

— Case “highlights the importance of autopsy,” medical examiner says
A photo of Rachel Geller, MD

The boy’s parents weren’t convinced that their 5-year-old had died of COVID-19, so they insisted on an autopsy.

The hospital where he died declined to do one, as did the local medical examiner. His case ended up in the hands of Rachel Geller, MD, an associate medical examiner in Georgia’s DeKalb County.

Geller’s findings ultimately led to the smoking gun in a deadly melioidosis outbreak that CDC investigators detailed in the New England Journal of Medicine in March 2022.

“I think his case highlights the importance of autopsy, even when we think we already have all the answers,” Geller told MedPage Today. “Sometimes we might not be asking the right questions.”

SUMMARY:

  • Fauci stated that autopsies were not to be done on patients with COVID. This dictate stopped forthcoming answers that could have saved lives.
  • An aromatherapy spray sold at Walmart was the culprit of the boy’s demise despite having an adult-like presentation of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • The autopsy revealed “numerous green-white, pearly abscesses diffusely involving the lower lobes of the lungs,” surrounded by areas of severe pneumonia and the brain had areas of softening and hemorrhage. He also had micro abscesses in his brain and liver, and hemorrhagic adrenal glands, sometimes seen in severe bacterial infection.
  • They found Burkholderia pseudomallei, a potential bioterrorism agent that is a rare and deadly bacteria commonly found in contaminated soil and water in tropical or subtropical climates.
  • Three previous cases of melioidosis, that has a fatality rate of 10-50%, were reported to the CDC and although the isolates appeared to come from South Asia, the cases occurred in differing states with no travel history and no interaction with each other.
  • CDC investigators were looking for a S.E. Asian product that was liquid or had moisture in it.  It wasn’t until a 2nd visit to the boy’s home that they found the source — a lavender aromatherapy spray manufactured in India and sold at Walmart.
  • There was an official recall in Oct. 2021 of the Better Homes & Gardens Lavender & Chamomile Essential Oil Infused Aromatherapy Room Spray with Gemstones.  The manufacturing facility in India still hasn’t found the exact source.

Removing ticks: The right way and the wrong way

Tick season is here! While most tick bites are harmless, some ticks can carry diseases, such as Lyme disease. Knowing what steps to take following a tick bite can reduce your risk of infection.

Remove the embedded tick as soon as possible. The longer a tick is attached, the higher the risk of transmitting tick-borne illnesses.

Follow these steps:

  • Gently pull the tick out with tweezers by grasping its head as close to the skin as possible.
  • If the head remains, try to remove with a sterile needle.
  • Wash the bite site with soap and water. Rubbing alcohol may be used to disinfect the area.
  • Apply an ice pack to reduce pain.

Avoid the following:

  • Do not grab the tick at the rear of the body
  • Do not twist or jerk tick while pulling it out
  • Do not use alternative methods to remove it; such as fingernail polish, alcohol, petroleum products, or a hot match.

Identify the tick. Take note of the size and color of the tick, whether it was attached to the skin (ticks must bite you to spread their germs), if it was engorged (full of blood) and about how long it was attached. A healthcare provider may ask you these questions if you begin to experience symptoms.

Watch for symptoms. If signs of infection, rash or flu-like symptoms occur within 30 days of the tick bite, seek medical attention.

Remember, a tick that is crawling on you but has not attached to your skin cannot infect you. However, if you find one tick, there could be more. Check your body carefully and use these tips to prevent future bites. Prevention is the best medicine.

If you have questions regarding tick bites or bug bites, contact our 24/7 Nurse Advisor Line at (608) 775-4454.

Taking the “wait and see” approach has doomed thousands to a life-time of misery.  Wisconsin has a high rate of infected ticks, which simply means you have a higher likelihood of becoming infected. Any risk involved with taking a few weeks of antibiotics is well worth it.  This 5 year old article states:

On average, about 22 percent of deer tick nymphs in Wisconsin have been found to be infected with Borrelia burgdorferi. The infection rate for adults is about twice as high, around 40-45 percent. In some locations, though, researchers have found infection rates as high as 75 percent of the tick population.

I assure you, it’s only getting worse.

ILADS recommends at least 20 days of doxycycline for an acute tick-bite. It’s important to remember that this mono therapy will not cover many of the confections so it’s important to track symptoms and keep in close contact with your doctor – preferably an ILADS-trained doctor who understand the nuances of treatment.  And coinfections are just as bad if not worse than Lyme disease.  Some of these infections can be transmitted within minutes and have a high mortality rate, so each and every tick bite needs to be taken as seriously as a heart attack.

This article is much more thorough.  Please file it away for future reference if you get a tick bite.

Heart Failure, Infection, & a Medical Brick Wall

What I Did to Save My Father’s Life–The First Time.

My father developed end-stage heart failure in his early 60’s, despite decades of top cardiology care. They said heart transplant was his only hope—They were wrong. Treating an overlooked infection permanently fixed his heart, averting the need for heart transplant. He passed away on 5/9/2021, 1 year ago today, at almost 90, may he rest in peace. This work is dedicated to my Dad. May it save someone you love.

Heart failure is the heart’s inability to ably pump blood. When the heart muscle chronically weakens, it’s called cardiomyopathy. Myocarditis describes acute inflammation of the heart—Sometimes also causing heart failure.

A major cause of disability and death, the many causes of cardiomyopathy include coronary artery disease, hypertension, and diabetes. But up to 50% of cases (75% when it’s in kids!) are “idiopathic,” of unknown origin. I dislike that word. It makes me feel like the medical profession is trying to compensate for its ignorance by using a lofty Latin-derived term to …

The infection Dr. Phillips’ dad had was a tick-borne illness and is a perfect example of why treating the infection(s) is so important.  As it stands, the ‘powers that be’ want us all to fall for the belief that those of us chronically/persistently infected are just dealing with some simple immune issues that need ironing out.

Well, that’s true in a sense because infections cause immune issues.

To sum it up best I will repeat what Dr. Hoffman (RIP) one of the most experienced WI LLMD’s told me on the issue:

If you treat the infection(s), most if not all symptoms just disappear.

This has certainly been the case for myself, my husband, and thousands of others, but this simple, logical fact is completely ignored by mainstream medicine and current scientific inquiry.  It’s sad that we are still dealing with an issue Polly Murray writes about in the 70’s in “The Widening Circle,” a story about a woman’s observation of severe illness in her entire family and the Connecticut area in which they lived.
