My purpose for posts such as this is for knowledge and consideration. Despite what you’ve heard, there are many that aren’t buying the doomsday climate change narrative and state it is a “lie,” a “scam,” and is nothing more than a “gravy train to secure funds.”

“It’s not carbon dioxide that drives temperature.  It’s exact inverse.  Another fraud.” ~ Professor Ian Plimer

This issue is important for Lyme/MSIDS patients because we’ve been told repeatedly that “climate change” affects tick and disease proliferation when research by an independent tick researcher has completely debunked this notion. I’m including links after the article for you to read for yourself.

There are only so many research dollars to be vied for.  For 40 years Lyme/MSIDS patients have languished with little research designed to help the sickest patients.  The last thing we need is more climate data that will not help one patient one iota.  

And many are unaware that that the commonly touted 97% of scientists agreeing on climate change is a completely manipulated figure because the government puts out about $2.5 billion a year for climate research, but only gives this money to scientists that product results that support the global warming hypothesis.  This exact same MO has been used in Lyme/MSIDS research as well, with a literal Cabal running the show.  You want the money, you better agree with the accepted narrative.  Lyme Cabalists own patents, are funded by the NIH and the military industrial complex, are affiliated with biosecurity and direct bio-level labs that work on dangerous tickborne diseases, but still create myopically out of touch public health guidelines and stymie research with their extreme bias.

The monstrous elephant in the room is the unethical climate engineering that is injecting harmful substances into the sky.

Spain just admitted it has recently been spraying deadly chemtrails as part of a secret UN program to fight COVID, and previously four state meteorological agency whistleblowers announced in 2015 that planes were regularly spraying lead dioxide, silver iodide, and diatomite throughout Spain to ward off rain and to allow temperatures to rise to create a summery climate for tourism as well as the agricultural sector – producing cold drops of great intensity.

Climate engineering is very real and is causing very real damage.

I assure you, Spain is not alone.

In fact, Kristen Meghan, a U.S. military chemtrails whistleblower has witnessed canisters of fine, powdered aluminum and barium being shipped to U.S. Air Force bases and being loaded onto jets.

Aluminum and barium are the metals that have been found (and continue to be found) in great excess in soil, rainwater, dust, and blood samples. These are the same metals associated with numerous patents which describe the mechanisms and processes of injecting aluminum and barium into jet engines for the purpose of spraying them into the atmosphere; a process called “geoengineering” by scientists. This also explains why the public witnessed the sudden appearance of trails coming from jet engines which never produced them previously.

Several whistleblowers have come forward exposing ongoing atmospheric spray operations, but Kristen has provided the link between the military and the massive amounts of toxic metals we are all experiencing on the ground.  Go here to watch an informative speech by Meghan.

John Stossel Destroys Climate Change Myths In New Video

Are We Doomed?

Scientists did show up to debunk some of the common myths being pushed by folks like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and other extremists.

Stossel noted how over the years he’d covered so many scares that had turned out not to be what people claimed, that in fact, we’re living longer than ever.

Yet the alarmists like Greta Thunberg say “entire ecosystems are collapsing” and we are on the brink of “mass extinction.” Politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and former Vice President Joe Biden proclaim, “We have 12 years left.”

The scientists took on that myth. “Please, let’s have a discussion!” begged astrophysicist Willie Soon.

Pat Michaels, former president of the American Association of State Climatologists, dissected the 12 years/extinction claim:

“It’s warmed up around one degree Celsius since 1900, and life expectancy doubled, yet that temperature ticks up another half a degree and the entire system crashes? That’s the most absurd belief.”

And what happens when in all likelihood we’re all still here in pretty much the same condition in 12 years?

Climatology Professor David Legates predicted, “In twelve years, it’ll be 12 more years.”

Exactly. How long has this been going on? Since at least the 1970s when folks pushed the spurious claim we might be entering a new ice age.

Willie Soon said it was all about emotional handwaving.

But, as the scientists explained, we adapt and address conditions. That’s the human way.

Stossel asked the scientists, “You acknowledge though the water is rising?”

Legates agreed. “Yes, the water has been rising for approximately 20,000 years.” Alrighty, now.

The scientists also debunked “global warming is making storms worse” and that carbon dioxide is harmful, both of which they pointed out is wrong.
Another myth? The government can somehow save us.

“The Obama administration’s model projects that the amount of global warming that would be saved going to zero emissions tomorrow … would be 14 hundredths of a degree Celsius,” according to Michaels.

An insignificant difference for global warning. But a killer for the country. “You’ll surely have an impoverished dark country,” he said.

But, as Stossel observes, the other side doesn’t want to debate, they just want to impose their will, without question.

So why are politicians so eager to push all this on us? One word: control.

Speaking of control, please read this important article how how the ‘climate change’ agenda is being used to make the public look the other way.

For more:

John explains, “The climate change range expansion model is what the authorities have been using to rationalize how they have done nothing for more than thirty years. It’s a huge cover-up scheme that goes back to the 1980’s. The grandiose scheme was a nefarious plot to let doctors off the hook from having to deal with this debilitating disease. I caught onto it very quickly. Most people have been victims of it ever since.”

“This climate change ‘theory’ is all part of a well-planned scheme. Even the ticks are smarter than the people who’ve concocted this thing,” he says.

“Climate change has nothing to do with tick movement. Blacklegged ticks are ecoadaptive, and tolerate wide temperature fluctuations. On hot summer days, these ticks descend into the cool, moist leaf litter and rehydrate. In winter, they descend into the leaf litter, and are comfortable under an insulating blanket of snow. Ticks have antifreeze-like compounds in their bodies, and can tolerate a wide range of temperatures. For instance, at Kenora, Ontario, the air temperature peaks at 36°C and dips to –44°C, and blacklegged ticks survive successfully.

“Ticks are marvellous eco-adaptors. They will be the last species on the planet. Do you see how silly this theory of climate change is as a way to rationalize what’s happening. It’s all a red herring to divert your attention,” he explains.

And lastly, take a look at what this doomsday attitude is doing to our young people:

These young people believe that their parents “trashed the planet,” and that we are “all going to die in a few years.”  They call it “environmental racism.”

Please know that Thunberg, the 20 year old Swedish activist, like her actor father, has a knack for the theatrical and was recently caught in a staged “arrest” while trespassing on a private goal mine in Germany while 70 officers were injured by being pelted by protesters throwing incendiary devices. She also recently, but quietly deleted a 2018 tweet warning that climate change “will wipe out all of humanity”  unless fossil fuels were abolished by 2023.  Apparently she realized it’s 2023 and we are all still here.  Darling of the WEF, she also declared in 2020 that humanity had eight years to “completely divest from fossil fuels.” She garnered international fame for boycotting school on Fridays, protesting “climate change.”

According to this 2004 article by the Guardian, we shouldn’t even be alive and Britain should be ‘Siberian’ by now:  https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2004/feb/22/usnews.theobserver

Thankfully, Thunberg’s proposed solutions are finally being recognized as “patently insane.”  Greta now has some compelling competition, has been called out for Woke hypocrisy during her trip to Davos, and doesn’t understand the complex issues involved.  It appears the Greta cult has “gone bust.”

Do your own research on “green energy” solutions and learn they are not green, not safe, and are a scam.

Unfortunately, people are suffering and dying but not because of the climate.
How about we focus on those issues?

Excerpt:

Various strains have been found in eye fluid, the heart (myocarditis and endocarditis), and cysts, and can infect by nearly anything puncturing the skin and exchanging bodily fluids – including needles. Evidence also suggests congenital transmission.

Symptoms are largely associated with where the blood flow is compromised. The reason many have pain in the soles of their feet is due to inflammation caused by microvascular trauma. It has been known to cause cysts around dental roots leading to chronic and hard to diagnose head and face pain as well as root canals. This microvascular trauma is also to blame for brain issues causing psychological issues such as anxiety, anger, and suicidal thoughts, since the small vessel disease affects executive function. A cog is literally caught in the wheel. As neurotransmitters become depleted due to overstimulation, depression rears its ugly head. A vicious cycle ensues.

PROS AND CONS OF DOXYCYCLINE FOR CHILDREN WITH LYME DISEASE

There are times when doctors need to consider whether or not to prescribe doxycycline for children with Lyme disease. The antibiotic is indicated for other tick-borne illnesses including Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichia and Anaplasmosis. But doctors often avoid prescribing doxycycline to young children for fear that it may cause tooth staining, particularly when used in children less than 8 years old.

Tetracyclines, including doxycycline, are typically not recommended for treating young children with tick-borne diseases because the antibiotic may cause permanent staining of the teeth, explains Wormser and colleagues in a recently published article, “Is Doxycycline Appropriate for Routine Treatment of Young Children With Erythema Migrans?” ¹

In the article, Wormser discusses the risk to benefit ratio of prescribing the antibiotic.

“Tetracycline-induced dental staining does not spontaneously resolve, may have adverse psychological effects, and families may incur considerable expense to correct the problem.”

This risk is greatest for younger children, he explains. “Because calcification of permanent teeth is largely complete by 5–6 years of age, children who are <4 years of age are at highest risk.”

Doxycycline introduced

However, the risk of dental staining was expected to be less after doxycycline, a tetracycline derivative, was introduced to the market.

“Doxycycline was reported to bind calcium less avidly than does tetracycline, which could explain why doxycycline may be less likely to cause dental staining,” writes Wormser.

In 2 small studies, which enrolled 89 children, doxycycline did not lead to dental staining. However, the studies were of short duration and used lower doses of the antibiotic than is typically prescribed for tick-borne illnesses.

“These new studies led to the recommendation in 2018 by the Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) that a course of treatment with doxycycline (for up to 21 days) is safe to prescribe for young children with any infection responsive to this agent, specifically including early Lyme disease,” writes Wormser.

Risk to benefit ratio

“The recommendation to use doxycycline in young children with early Lyme disease should be based on assessment of the risk to benefit ratio of use of this drug compared with that of other recommended antibiotics,” writes Wormser.

“The recommendation to use doxycycline in children <8 years of age should require an assessment of how much doxycycline had previously been taken by a patient, including total dosage, because the risk of dental staining is directly related to cumulative exposure,” he adds.

Based on the number of Lyme disease cases reported each year and the percentage of children likely affected, Wormser estimates that “more than 30,000 children <8 years of age could potentially be treated with doxycycline each year.

If the risk of dental staining were even just 1 in 1000 (0.1%),” he explains, “this would translate to >30 children annually who would develop dental staining from taking doxycycline for erythema migrans.

Use of doxycycline clearly is indicated to treat young children with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever or with other very serious infections for which doxycycline is preferred,” he adds.

Single dose of doxycycline for a tick bite

In addition, the authors discuss treating a deer tick bite with a single dose of doxycycline to prevent Lyme disease. “It seems unlikely that one dose would cause dental staining in young children,” writes Wormser.

However, the authors fail to mention that no studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of a single dose of doxycycline in preventing chronic manifestations of Lyme disease.

Other antibiotics, including amoxicillin, remain an alternative for patients who do not have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Ehrlichia or Anaplasmosis.

Editor’s note: I use a risk to benefit ratio approach in my practice when treating Lyme disease.

Excerpt:  

Daniel J. Cameron, MD MPH, states there has only been one study (Nadelman et al) on the effectiveness of 1 pill of doxycycline and only found a reduction in the number of erythema migraines (EM) rashes compared to the placebo group.  According to him, the IDSA 1 pill of doxy approach started in 2006 despite the fact that three previous prophylactic antibiotic trials for a tick bite had failed.

https://madisonarealymesupportgroup.com/2016/11/16/will-two-pills-of-doxy-prevent-lyme/

Excerpt:

Only one study in 2001 tested this hypothesis at one hospital in New York.

For the study, the bullseye rash was the diagnostic criteria to determine if doxy prevented LD. The study actually showed that people bitten by nymphs were more likely to develop a bullseye rash and therefore diagnosed with LD in comparison with those bitten by an adult tick. None of those bitten by adult ticks developed a bullseye rash.

The Bullseye is a poor indicator of LD.

Only 50% with LD got any kind of rash and only 9% developed a bullseye.

Two pills used at the time of tick bite by a nymph prevented people from getting the bullseye – so they were not diagnosed as having LD and were excluded from the study.

So, will 2 pills of doxy prevent Lyme?

No.

For many people, summer means travel, but for Lyme patients, vacationing is not as simple as it was in our healthier days. I miss being able to just throw a pair of pajamas and a toothbrush in a bag and take off for the weekend. Now my baggage is bigger and heavier. I have medications and supplements, specialty foods, and extra pajamas (in case of night sweats) that I have to bring along. I need to consider my daily schedule and my energy levels. Travel is still possible, but I’ve had to make some adjustments.

Many patients write with questions about travel. Can they get on a plane with a PICC line in? Can they bring their medications and supplements on a plane? How far can they travel? I responded to some of these questions in my recent Dear Lyme Warrior…Help post. But here’s a longer practical guide to help you determine if, how, and when you might travel, and what you should keep in mind when you do so.

  • Travel abilities—Your stamina for travel will fluctuate. This is probably the most important lesson I can impart. When I was first ill with Lyme and two co-infections babesia and ehrlichia, I could barely walk, let alone travel. It was exhausting to sit in the car and go to a doctor’s appointment. Someone else always had to drive. As my physical and neurological symptoms improved over more than a decade, I have been able to slowly increase my ability to travel. First I could drive myself short distances. Then I could take a short, direct flight if someone was with me. I’ve worked up to a four hour flight now. Hopefully I’ll be able to go even farther in the future, but I also have to remember that progress isn’t linear. With a relapsing condition like Lyme, there will be times when it will seem easy for me to fly to Florida, and times when it will be difficult for me to drive for an hour.
  • PICC lines—Yes! You can fly with a port! The important thing is to think about timing and supplies. How long will you be away? If you have a PICC line, how many boluses of medication will you need? Contact your airline to see about bringing your boluses on the plane, especially since most need to be refrigerated. Some airlines allow you to bring them through security in a cooler, but you should make them aware. Be sure to have your written prescription with you. Next, think about where you will store your boluses upon arrival. Is there a secure, easily accessible refrigerator? Be sure to bring extra boluses and extra supplies, and to have the emergency contact information of your doctor. You may also want to ask your doctor what you should do if there’s a problem with your line while you’re away (is there a nurse you can call? Should you go to a local medical clinic?).
  • Medications and supplements—When flying, I always carry on all of my medications and supplements in their original bottles. You do not want to run the risk of your medicine being lost in a checked bag. Some people get written prescriptions from their doctors in case they get questioned by airline security. I have never had this problem—prescription bottles with current labels have always sufficed, even when I went out of the country—but you might need this information if you’re traveling with liquid medication (for more information on flying with medication, visit tsa.gov and click “Travel Tips”). If you’re traveling by car, make sure your pill bag is in the car itself, not in an overheated trunk. I tape closed all the compartments of my weekly pill box, so they don’t spill all over my bag. I always bring more pills and supplements than I’ll actually need, in case I get stuck somewhere.
  • Health information sheet—Write out a list of your diagnoses, your medications and supplements, your allergies, your dietary restrictions, your practitioners and their contact information, the name and number of an emergency contact, and any other pertinent medical information. I keep a copy of this list in my suitcase, a copy in my purse/wallet, and an e-copy on my phone.
  • Pharmacy and doctor information—In case you do get stuck somewhere and need an emergency refill, find out before you go if your pharmacy has a store near your destination, and if they can transfer your prescriptions. Also be sure to have your doctor’s phone number easily accessible, and have it written on your health information sheet.
  • Food—Make sure you will be able to get foods that fit your dietary restrictions at your travel destination. Plan in advance—read restaurant menus online, research what grocery stores are nearby, talk to your hosts, call your hotel to see if there will be a refrigerator in your room. I always pack extra gluten-free snacks, even if I wind up putting them all back in my cupboard when I get home. Remember to bring meals and snacks in your carry-on, too. Additionally, I always carry a water bottle, and I bring rehydration tablets if I’m going to be somewhere where I won’t be able to find electrolyte-enhanced water (which I often need due to nightsweats).
  • Plan extra recovery time before and after your travel—Depending on how far you are traveling, you may need extra time to rest upon arrival. When I fly somewhere, I don’t do anything else on the travel day besides sleep and eat, and often I need the following day to recuperate, too. When I travel by car, I make sure that there will be a quiet place for me to nap upon arrival. Build in a couple days for recuperation upon your return, too. This means in general that you will need more time for travel—a three-day trip may turn in to a week-long endeavor.
  • Budget—The reality of traveling with Lyme disease is that it’s probably going to cost more than if you weren’t ill, especially if you’re a budget-minded traveler like me. I used to take red-eye flights or make multiple connections, because those options cost less. I can’t do that anymore. In order to save enough energy to function at my destination, I need to take direct flights at times that work well in my schedule, and that’s more expensive. To do otherwise though would jeopardize my health, and that would be even more expensive.
  • Have a buddy!—It’s much, much easier to travel when you’re accompanied by someone who understands your needs. Having someone to carry your bags, to drive, to help you navigate a new area, to help you find appropriate foods, all this makes travel much more feasible for Lyme patients. Make sure your travel companion is aware of your needs and how they might impact your itinerary. (For example, if you need to nap every afternoon, will there be a way for you to do that without disrupting everyone else’s day? Or will others be okay taking a midday siesta, too?).
  • Ask yourself, is it worth it?— Always ask yourself, is the distance of this travel, and the energy it will take out of me, worth it? Is this someplace you really want to go or someone you really want to see? Will the travel jeopardize your health? Think about costs of travel not just in terms of financial costs, but also in terms of costs to your health, including downtime.

Wishing you safe travels to farther and farther destinations!
