Answers still needed about possible biowarfare connection to Lyme disease

By Pat Smith

Forty-six years after a mother alerted public health about an unknown disease affecting her Connecticut neighborhood, patients still await answers about Lyme disease and help from the federal government− little has been forthcoming.

It’s been 37 years since I first saw Lyme as a board of education member in New Jersey, and 29 years since I first contacted New Jersey Congressman Chris Smith for help regarding Lyme disease.

I approached him because my school district had many seriously ill students and staff members who could find little medical help and no assistance for disrupted educations. Congressman Smith set up a Washington DC meeting for me with CDC and NIH officials to present a report on nine Monmouth/Ocean NJ school districts in the same situation, yet no public health authorities were involved to help the districts.

Shocking devastation

Officials were shocked and could not believe the devastation I described to them. They subsequently came to NJ and did their own study of five of the school districts, which confirmed the effects on the districts and these children. Congressman Smith held a Congressional meeting in Wall Township which overflowed the room. The CDC presented its study, and I spoke at this meeting as did my daughter who was then suffering seizures from Lyme.

The CDC refused to publish its school study, continuing to tell me they would, so the LDA asked the Lyme Times [published by LymeDisease.org] to publish it a few years ago for all to read, as it had been presented publicly by CDC.

Patients and advocates have been benefiting from Mr. Smith’s efforts to help us change that situation. Working with Congressman Smith, the Lyme Disease Association has been able to get bills introduced and passed over decades; educate federal & state legislators; help set up a federal Tick-Borne Disease Working Group under the Department of Health and Human Services; help parents threatened with Munchausen-by-proxy [an accusation that the parents have made the child sick] whose children were going to be removed because of long-term treatment with antibiotics; and help doctors whose licenses were threatened for treating with antibiotics. Sadly, some parents still have had their children removed and Lyme-treating physicians continue to be harassed.

Unanswered questions

Uncomprehendingly, we are left with many asked but unanswered questions. There continues to be government resistance to solving even the most basic issues. One is the continued use of tests discussed during a 1994 meeting where dissenting researchers were refused the right to present a minority report—tests which studies have shown are less than 50% accurate, whereby a person can test negative and still have the disease. Scientists have come forth over time with tests to be examined, but CDC has appeared to have neither considered them nor recommended them for further study to our knowledge.

Why do CDC and NIH continue to rely on one set of treatment guidelines for Lyme disease which recommend (read: allow) only a few weeks of doxycycline for a complex organism such as Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria that causes Lyme disease, when there is another set of guidelines that permit doctor discretion?

Why are patients still told: it’s in your head; you need a psychiatrist; you’re cured because you had two weeks of treatment; you have to learn to live with it; don’t use alternative therapies; it’s not Lyme? (When you ask what is it, the response is a shrug.)

Why are some patients being misdiagnosed with MS, ALS, CFS, FM, lupus, ADD, RA, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s which turn out to be Lyme and other tick-borne diseases apparently causing these symptoms in a number of cases?

Why are doctors who help patients get better with long-term and combinations of antibiotics still called quacks, unable to be a part of insurance plans, and subject to medical board actions?

Why is research being privately funded in prestigious institutions investigating antibiotic treatment options while the government says research is done, and that long-term antibiotics don’t work and can be harmful?

Denial of chronic Lyme

Many doctors, scientists, patients, and advocates have known for decades it’s “chronic Lyme”—persisting symptoms after short-term treatment. This occurs in 20% or more of Lyme patients−often combined with other tick-borne diseases, almost 20 of which are now found in the US, and can be acquired singly or in combinations.

Those suffering or helping these patients have been ridiculed in media over the decades, with Lyme called a housewife’s disease, a yuppie disease, mass hysteria, conspiracy theory, hoax perpetrated by those anti science.  In 2021, the “long haulers” of COVID 19 have thankfully not been scorned or shamed, why are “chronic Lyme” sufferers singled out for this abuse?

Why investigate any biowarfare origins?

The origins of COVID19 have already been investigated and linked with the NIH having been shown to have funded “gain of function” research—modifying a biological agent to confer new or enhanced activity to that agent. Why is it then a conspiracy theory to investigate the murky origins of Lyme?

Biowarfare has been out there for hundreds of years.

“Man has used poisons for assassination purposes ever since the dawn of civilization, not only against individual enemies but also occasionally against armies. However, the foundation of microbiology by Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch offered new prospects for those interested in biological weapons because it allowed agents to be chosen and designed on a rational basis.”  (F. Frischnecht, Pasteur Institute: 2003, EMBO, “The History of Biological Warfare”-see NIH website)

It’s time for government transparency. Provide whatever the truth is about tick releases and other tick-borne disease experiments that some US scientists have come forth with and that government documents appear to support

476,000 people are diagnosed and treated annually in the US according to CDC. They and the general public deserve to know what happened in the past, to aid in the search for prevention and cure of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

Pat Smith is President of the Lyme Disease Association, which funds research, promotes education and jointly puts on an annual scientific conference with Columbia University. From 2017-2020, she served on the federal Tick-Borne Disease Working Group.

**UPDATE March, 2023**

This update contains a list of pilots and flight attendants who recently had cardiac arrests inflight, many of whom died suddenly.  Now, in a “cost cutting solution,” and due to staffing shortages, there is a push to only have ONE fully vaxxed pilot in the cockpit which would be devastating should it occur, due to the potential for these pilots to suffer events while flying with no one else to take over.

COVID Shot Injured Pilot Speaks on Stew Peter’s Show

Cody Flint is 34 years old. Until recently he worked as an agricultural pilot. He has fifteen years of flying experience. Like so many other people, Cody received the Pfizer shot last year. He waited 48 hours, then went up for a flight, but everything was wrong. He got a severe headache, “like a bomb went off inside his head.” He got tunnel vision, couldn’t properly move his arms and legs, and he even blacked out. It’s a miracle he managed to successfully land his plane, and Cody isn’t sure how he did it because he doesn’t remember actually landing. Cody Flint joins us to discuss.

Now, ponder for a moment all the other pilots flying commercial airplanes which could be putting the public at great risk due to an injection that isn’t safe or effective, and isn’t even needed due to safe, effective treatments for COVID.

Another Pilot Speaks Out

Pilot Greg Pearson experienced heart issues after the COVID jab.  He was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation which can lead to blood clots in the heart and is a major cause of strokes. He states other pilots are too afraid to speak up even though they too are experiencing adverse reactions.

“The Bigger Plan”

Dr. Chetty calls it “covid illness,” because a virus has not been completely isolated; however, the pathogen causing sickness and death IS the spike protein, and spike protein is what the “vaccine” is meant to make in your body.  He states this protein is one of the most contrived toxins or poisons that man has ever made, and that the aim of this toxin is to kill billions without anyone noticing. So the toxin or poison has been put into a virus (vector) to expose the entire population.

“This plan is to make sure that we can control and kill off a large proportion of our population without anyone suspecting that we were poisoned and so I think the justification for everything we see is warranted in understanding the endgame.” ~ Dr. Shankara Chetty

South African doctor, Dr. Shankara Chetty is a general practitioner with a natural science background in genetics, advanced biology,microbiology and biochemistry. From the start of the Covid pandemic, he has been critically watching the information arising from observations around the world.  He clearly explains what the COVID injections do and don’t do.  The spike protein is the toxin.

More Microscopy on COVID Vials Showing Sharp Objects, Worms With Eggs, & Perhaps a Microchip

German Pathologists and doctors present an analysis of the coronavirus “vaccine” during a shocking press conference in September, 2021. A clip of the conference reveals they also found numerous foreign objects in the injection, as well as in ‘vaxxed’ blood.

The live-streamed press conference was organized by the Stiftung Corona-Ausschuss, which can be loosely described as Germany’s equivalent of America’s Frontline Doctors. As expected, their remarkable presentation was slammed by the German legacy media.

The event was spearheaded by:

  • Prof. Dr. Arne Burkhardt, who served as “head of the Institute of Pathology in Reutlingen for 18 years and then worked as a pathologist in private practice”
  • Prof. Dr. Walter Lang, who “worked as a pathologist at the Hannover Medical School from 1968 to 1985” before founding a private institute for pathology in Hanover 
  • Prof. Dr. Werner Birkholz, a former professor of electrical engineering with a focus on quality and risk management at Jacobs University in Bremen.
  • Introductions and the presentation was made by Dr. Ute Langer, a physician, and a surgeon.

SUMMARY:

  • Some of the foreign objects were described as “accurately constructed.”
  • Worms/parasites with visible eggs, which would normally drop their tail – had intact tails and were clearly seen – even their digestive tract. 
  • The type of worms seen cause cancer and severe pain as in rheumatoid diseases, joint pain, or even Alzheimer’s if they are found in the brain.
  • There appears to be an object that could be a microchip.  There are transparent objects with very sharp edges that shine like glass.
  • In May of 2021, Ulm University stated on South West TV News that after examining 4 batches of AstraZeneca COVID vials, up to two-thirds of the contents had substances that don’t belong there and only one-third was actually “vaccine” material.  Nobody has a clue what these foreign substances do inside the human body.
  • Authorities simply do not care and the manufacturing company didn’t even bother to respond. 
  • In December, the German doctors held a second powerful press conference headlined “Are Deaths and Adverse Health Effects After Vaccination Against Covid-19 Related in a Pathologically Detectable Way?”.

Please see this article on the subject, complete with pictures of the foreign objects as well as a transcript.  Also, go here for over 1,000 studies showing the COVID injections are dangerous.

Steve Kirsh wrote on his Substack,

“We are not marching against the COVID vaccines, we’re marching against the government forcing these vaccines onto Americans. It’s something I hope we can all agree on.”

He further explained:

  1. We don’t even know what is inside these vials and we are being forced to take it.
  2. The VAERS data shows the vaccines kill more people than they save (by 15X).
  3. The vaccines suppress your immune system making you more likely to be infected.
  4. There is no stopping condition. If 1M people are killed by the vaccines, they won’t stop them.

Speaking with The New American in December, Kirsch said that according to his calculations, the COVID shots have killed more people than they saved. That disproportion is even worse when it comes to children: for every 1 child saved from COVID, 117 will die because of the vaccine-associated adverse events.

When You Might Start to Feel Better: The Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia Timelines

In this video article, Marty Ross MD describes when you should start to feel better in your treatment. As Dr. Ross describes, it all depends on the which infections you are treating.

**Comment**

This topic paramount, as patients desperately want their lives back.  At least I did.

I remember finding a man who was infected but had achieved his health back.  In a vast pool of sick people, he appeared to be a lone survivor.  Frantically, I emailed him for answers.  Per usual, he got right back to me with encouragement.  (This has been my experience time and time again.  Infected people “get it,” and immediately help those looking for it).

To be honest, I only remember one thing he said: “Don’t be depressed about feeling depressed.”  You may laugh, but that simple statement probably helped me more than any other advice, because this complex illness will truly sift you like wheat making you question your very sanity and your desire to continue with life.

I would compare having Lyme/MSIDS to being dropped behind enemy lines in an Arctic climate where you are given nothing but a toothpick and a shovel for survival.

I would love to say that I completely agree with Dr. Ross but it just wasn’t our experience.  Since both my husband and I are infected and have both waged this battle (and continue to wage it), I have two narratives I am quite intimate with – plus many other patients who tell me their stories.

Tracking improvement is like catching a greased pig.  Very hard to do.  Nothing about this is linear.  There are forward steps, stalls, and backward steps – sometimes within the same day!

I advise patients to keep a monthly calendar close by with lines on it for writing.  Write down your major symptoms every day.  This will really help if you are tracking others in your family as well.  If you don’t do this you will likely forget much of what you experience.

If possible, then take these notes and write or type up an executive summary noting the main symptoms.  This will help your Lyme literate doctor more than anything.  They are versed in the various symptoms and your documentation will show what infections are dominant at the time (and this varies from time to time.)

It is true that if you are not experiencing change (improvement or worsening) you are likely in a plateau which should indicate you need to change your treatment.  Be honest about this and talk with your LLMD about this so you are in agreement.  This is NOT an illness that you can just ‘trust the experts’ with.  You NEED to be a part of this unique partnership.  Admittedly, in the beginning you won’t know much and won’t be able to be much help, but in time you will become a quasi-expert.  I tell patients that doctors are experts in THE human body but you are the expert with YOUR body.  Your intel is indispensable to your physician.  If they don’t want your intel, it’s time to find a new doctor!

Clinicians have difficulty identifying ticks

identifying-ticks

Welcome to another Inside Lyme Podcast with your host Dr. Daniel Cameron. In this episode, Dr. Cameron discusses findings from a recent study which examined the proficiency of clinicians at identifying ticks in the northeastern region of the United States.

The study by Laga and colleagues entitled “Proficiency at Tick Identification by Pathologists and Clinicians Is Poor” was published in The American Journal of Dermatopathology.¹

Using high-resolution photographs of ticks, the authors surveyed 115 health care providers, which included primarily medical students, medical residents, and physicians.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH A VIDEO DISCUSSING TICK IDENTIFICATION WITH DR. CAMERON

The survey was simple. Each health care provider was asked to look at high-resolution color pictures of ticks provided by the University of Rhode Island Tick Encounter Resource Center.  (The dimensions of each image were 1 5/8 inches by 2 inches.)

The participants were asked to select one of 5 possible answers for each photograph:

  1. American dog tick
  2. Deer/ blacklegged tick
  3. Lone Star tick
  4. Brown dog tick
  5. “I do not know”

Only 1 in 3 ticks were correctly identified.

The survey participants correctly identified 60% of the non-engorged black-legged ticks but only 34% correctly identified a partially engorged black-legged tick.

“Likely explanations are that texts and media rarely show partially engorged ticks,” the authors explain.

Additionally, “the color contrast seen between the scutum and abdomen in the blacklegged tick, for example, is lost after 2.5–3 days of engorgement.”

Participants had more difficulty identifying the other tick species:

  • 1 in 2 participants identified a non-engorged Lone Star tick;
  • 1 in 3 identified a non-engorged American dog tick;
  • 1 in 4 identified a non-engorged adult Brown dog tick.

The number of ticks correctly identified was worse for partially engorged ticks.

Medical students and non-physician health care providers (i.e., nurses, physician assistants) fared the worse with only about 1 in 4 correctly identifying the ticks.

In everyday practice, health care providers do not view high-resolution photographs of ticks. Their experience, instead, is with actual ticks which appear much smaller.

“In addition to choosing the easier-to-identify female ticks for our test, we also chose adult rather than nymphal ticks for the quiz,” the authors explain.

“Nymphal ticks, in addition to be being smaller, tend to have more muted colors and less distinctive markings on their scutums.”

In actual practice, it’s important that health care providers can identify engorged ticks. Yet, the survey shows that engorged ticks were more difficult for providers to identify.

The following questions are addressed in this podcast episode:

  1. How often is the tick seen?
  2. Have you found it difficult to identify a tick?
  3. What are a few tips to identifying ticks?
  4. What diseases does each tick carry?
  5. Why is it important to be able to identify an engorged tick?
  6. What is the risk of an engorged tick?
  7. What educational information should clinicians receive?
  8. What do Lyme disease patients know?
  9. What are treatment options for a tick bite?
  10. What are the risks and benefits of a single 200 mg dose of doxycycline for a tick bite?
  11. How effective is testing of ticks for diseases?

Please remember that the advice given is general and not intended as specific advice as to any particular patient. If you require specific advice, then please seek that advice from an experienced professional.

**Comment**

As they say, “There’s no such thing as a good tick.”

That said, doctors are woefully educated on ticks, the diseases they spread, how to diagnose, treat, and recognize not just various ticks but the wide variety of symptoms patients struggle with.

This study partially reveals the many problems in Lyme-land.

Yesterday, I posted an article proposing guidelines by supposed ‘experts’ that call themselves the ‘Wilderness Medical Society.’  In the comment section I break down the various continually regurgitated myths used as talking points and the basis for all research and clinical guidelines. One of the things discussed is how the “wait and see” approach has been dooming patients for decades. This essentially means that rather than quickly treating known tick bites prophylactically, they simply wait and see if the person develops symptoms.

They also continue to push the one-dose doxy prophylactic treatment which doesn’t work. Neither does two pills. Unfortunately, researchers still believe the EM rash is some magical symbol.  The EM rash comes and goes at will and should never be a marker for effectiveness of treatment.

The catch with all of this is doctors can’t identify the ticks involved.

Ironically, if the doctor can’t identify the tick, or if attachment time is unknown, they still recommend the “wait and see” approach, even though that particular refrain has caused untold damage.
