Welcome to another episode of Ditch the Quick Fix podcast!
In today’s conversation, I am honored to host and talk to Dr. Thomas Levy, MD. He is a board-certified cardiologist and a bar-certified attorney.
He practiced adult cardiology for more than 15 years and then began to research the enormous toxicity associated with much of dental work and also the pronounced impact of properly administered vitamin C to neutralize this toxicity.
In addition, he is a prolific writer, having written 13 groundbreaking medical books. His latest book, Rapid Virus Recovery, highlights the natural treatment for all viral infections, especially those contracted through the respiratory route.
Dr. Levy will also highlight the impact of periodontal disease on heart health and cancer.
Join us in this conversation as we learn from Dr. Levy about some natural and inexpensive opportunities to improve our health.

Single tick bite leads to 3 diseases in elderly woman
In their article “Triple Tick Attack,” doctors describe the case of a 74-year-old woman living in Connecticut who developed three tick-borne diseases as the result of a single tick bite. While Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne illness, ticks can transmit other bacterium, causing various “co-infections,” which can be difficult to diagnose.
The woman was an avid gardener, who had a history of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and high blood pressure. She was admitted to the hospital with dyspnea, fatigue, and a cough productive of yellowish mucoid sputum.
The patient also had significant altered mental status, pallor, and peripheral edema. A lung examination revealed bibasilar crackles, Kumar explains. [1]
She was treated empirically for community-acquired pneumonia, and was prescribed ceftriaxone and azithromycin.
The woman no history of a rash or tick bite. However, lab tests later revealed the presence of 3 tick-borne pathogens.
“We present a case of triple infection with babesiosis, Lyme disease, and anaplasmosis treated with antibiotics and red blood cell (RBC) exchange (erythrocytapheresis).”¹
1) Babesia − This tick-borne disease is caused by a tiny parasite that infects the red blood cells.
“A peripheral blood smear revealed the presence of intracytoplasmic parasites consistent with Babesia,” writes Kumar. Consequently, the woman was started on azithromycin and atovaquone.
Further testing revealed that she had severe babesiosis. Her parasitic load was so high (9.04%) that she required a red blood cell (RBC) exchange (erythrocytapheresis).
Repeat testing, however, found the parasitic load remained high (6.54%), which required a second round of RBC exchange.
“Antimicrobials were changed to clindamycin, quinine, and doxycycline for a total of 14 days,” writes Kumar.
2) Borrelia burgdorferi − The bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Serologic tests were positive. The patient was prescribed doxycycline.
3) Anaplasma − The bacteria that causes anaplasmosis, formerly known as human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE). The patient’s anaplasma titers were positive.
“Patients presenting with an atypical clinical picture of a single pathogen or a lack of improvement with antibiotics after 48 hours require further testing for the presence of other infections,” the authors suggest. “A delay in the diagnosis can lead to an increased risk of complications and disease duration.”
In another case report, Grant and colleagues describe a 70-year-old man who presented to the emergency room with “fevers, ankle edema and nausea following a presumed insect bite on his ankle 1 month prior.”²
Test results revealed the man was positive for Lyme disease, Babesia microti, and Anaplasmosis.
His symptoms resolved completely following treatment with doxycycline, atovaquone and azithromycin.
The authors suggest, “Co-infection with Lyme disease and another tick-borne illness is common, and testing for co-infection should be performed in patients with >24 hours of symptoms despite appropriate treatment, as well as unexplained laboratory abnormalities.”
J&J Officials: Kids Shouldn’t Get COVID Vaccines, But Adults Who Don’t Comply With Mandates Should Be ‘Inconvenienced’
Project Veritas released the third video of its COVID vaccine investigative series exposing two Johnson & Johnson officials who argue children don’t need the COVID vaccine, in part because of potential long-term side effects.
One of the exposed J&J employees, a scientist by the name of Justin Durrant, laughs about inconveniencing unvaccinated adults if they refuse to comply with mandates being imposed upon them:
“Justin Durrant, J&J scientist: Inconvenience [the unvaccinated] to the point where it’s like, ‘I might as well just f*cking do it [and take the COVID vaccine],’ you know what I’m saying? Like ‘I can’t go out of state,’ I can’t – ‘my grandma’s in Canada and I can’t visit her,’ you know what I’m saying? You can’t go to France unless you’re vaccinated — you know you’ve just got to keep doing things like that where you’re almost like a second-grade citizen if you’re not vaccinated, but I know that’s awful.
Veritas journalist: You’re almost what?
Durrant: Like a second-grade citizen, like you can’t do anything that a normal citizen can do.
Veritas journalist: A second graded citizen?
Durrant: Yeah like top grade, like the ones that get it, and the ones that just like — then you can’t do sh*t. …
Veritas journalist: So then how do we punish [the unvaccinated]?
Durrant: I mean if you can’t work, I feel like that’s punishment enough.
Veritas journalist: People what?
Durrant: Only way people really act and comply is if it affects their pockets, like if you’re working for a big company and you’re going to lose your job, best believe you’ll be the first one in line [to take the COVID vaccine].
Veritas journalist: Right, so if you’re working for a big company and you’re about to lose your job, you’ll be the first one in line?
Durrant: Yeah.
Veritas journalist: That’s so true. That’s smart, that’s what we need to do.
Durrant: That’s what we’re doing.
Durrant said he does not recommend taking his own company’s vaccine. He asked the Veritas journalist to keep that information private.
“Don’t get the Johnson & Johnson [COVID vaccine], I didn’t tell you though,” he said.
Both Durrant and Brandon Schadt, J&J’s regional business lead, said that applying the COVID vaccine on children would not move the needle in the battle against the pandemic.
“It wouldn’t make that much of a difference” if children are unvaccinated for COVID, Durrant said.
“It’s a kid, you just don’t do that, you know? Not something that’s so unknown in terms of repercussions down the road, you know?” Schadt said.
“It’s a kid, it’s a f*cking kid, you know? They shouldn’t have to get a f*cking [COVID] vaccine, you know?”
Schadt compared J&J’s COVID vaccine efficacy to the other pharmaceutical companies.
“J&J is like stepping in the best smelling pile of sh*t you could step in,” he said.
Taylor Lee, FDA Economist: “Go to the unvaccinated and blow it [COVID vaccine] into them. Blow dart it into them.”
Lee: “Census goes door-to-door if you don’t respond. So, we have the infrastructure to do it [forced COVID vaccinations]. I mean, it’ll cost a ton of money. But I think, at that point, I think there needs to be a registry of people who aren’t vaccinated. Although that’s sounding very [much like Nazi] Germany.”
Lee: “Nazi Germany…I mean, think about it like the Jewish Star [for unvaccinated Americans].”
Lee: “I’m gonna go door-to-door and stab everyone [with the COVID vaccine], ‘Oh, it’s just your booster shot! There you go!’”
Lee: “So, if you put every anti-vaxxer, like sheep, into like Texas and you closed off Texas from the rest of the world, and you go, ‘Okay, you be you in Texas until we deal with this [pandemic].’”
Lee: “All of the wealthy white people are getting vaccinated because they’re educated.”
Lee: “There are political appointees [at the FDA] that are generally scientific advisors or are appointed by the president or the commission…They’re being paid based on if the other people are staying in power.”
Lee: “Unfortunately, everyone ends up playing politics, but I don’t think that the career scientists are — I think that it’s the people that they’re unfortunately having to report to because these political appointees are being put in place and that’s part of like — the Senate confirms the people to then just pick their people.”
[WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sept. 22, 2021] Project Veritas released the second video of its COVID vaccine investigative series today exposing U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] economist, Taylor Lee, who was recorded calling for forced COVID vaccinations and a registry for all unvaccinated Americans.
Lee said that U.S. Government policy could emulate Nazi Germany when it comes to the COVID vaccine.
“Census goes door-to-door if you don’t respond. So, we have the infrastructure to do it [forced COVID vaccinations]. I mean, it’ll cost a ton of money. But I think, at that point, I think there needs to be a registry of people who aren’t vaccinated. Although that’s sounding very [much like Nazi] Germany,” Lee said.
“Nazi Germany…I mean, think about it like the Jewish Star [for unvaccinated Americans],” he said.
“So, if you put every anti-vaxxer, like sheep, into like Texas and you closed off Texas from the rest of the world, and you go, ‘Okay, you be you in Texas until we deal with this [pandemic].’”
Lee said that due to a large portion of the African American community being hesitant to take the COVID vaccine, the solution would be to “blow dart” on them:
Taylor Lee, FDA Economist: “I think that a lot of the time — so there’s also this issue of — I remember reading about how with COVID [vaccine] trials, they were having an issue recruiting African American people. It was because of a different medication the government tried to do that was specifically designed to kill African Americans.”
Veritas Journalist: “Oh, so like a mistrust thing.”
Lee: “Yeah.”
Veritas Journalist: “But this thing [COVID vaccine] is safe, though.”
Lee: “We know that now, but like again, I think there is still this big mistrust and like it’s deep-rooted.”
Veritas Journalist: “Yeah. Can’t blame them [African Americans].”
Lee: “I can’t. But at the same time, like, blow dart. That’s where we’re going.”
Lee affirmed that “wealthy white people” are more likely to get the COVID vaccine because they are “educated,” and added that he would be willing to force COVID vaccines upon Americans himself if needed.
“I’m gonna go door-to-door and stab everyone [with the COVID vaccine], ‘Oh, it’s just your booster shot! There you go!’”
Lee also said that FDA officials can often be political appointees rather than actual scientific experts.
“There are political appointees [at the FDA] that are generally scientific advisors or are appointed by the president or the commission…They’re being paid based on if the other people are staying in power,” he said.
“Unfortunately, everyone ends up playing politics, but I don’t think that the career scientists are — I think that it’s the people that they’re unfortunately having to report to because these political appointees are being put in place and that’s part of like — the Senate confirms the people to then just pick their people.”
Long Covid is overblown and often something else, says Oxford professor
Katie Gibbons
The Times
Long Covid is “overblown” and many people who think they have it are actually suffering from something else, a medical expert has said.
Professor Sir John Bell, regius professor of medicine at Oxford University, said that long Covid was “more complicated than people assume” and that “the incidence is much, much lower than people had anticipated”.
Opinion: How about health as a COVID exit strategy?
Frank Edelblut
By Frank Edelblut InsideSources.com
Excerpts:
What is common among many of these health conditions are the significant influence lifestyle choices have in controlling them. This is particularly true for the top three causes of severe COVID-19. Of course, hereditary factors play a role in these conditions for some people, but for many people, these health conditions can be controlled with lifestyle choices.
The lesson we might take from this is health and wellness should be a key strategy in the avoidance of severe COVID-19 effects. (See link for article)
The article points out that anxiety and fear-related disorders increased the chance of death from COVID-19 by 28%, which is the second-highest health condition accompanying death from COVID-19.
The author then astutely points out that for over 18 months the media has done nothing but emphasize and focus on risks, dangers, and tragic outcomes with little coverage on making healthy choices as a strategy. To demonstrate this, a German paper finally came clean and apologized for its fear-mongering.
The media should be reporting on the complete censorship of doctors who are trying to truly help patients with effective, safe treatments and saving lives. Instead, they are complicitly spreading the government’s misinformation.
There are also many, many success stories of people who have survived COVID. You never read about these cases – only fear, gloom, doom, and more fear. The healthiest thing you can do for your mental health is turn off mainstream media. Just turn it off.
A NY Times reporter just got caught lying about a COVID surge in schools that didn’t actually happen.
