About a decade ago, I had what They were saying was Lyme. Rather than indulge the pHARMa/mediKILL industry's recommendations, I went on Cat's Claw (an herb) for about two years. The symptoms abated nearly immediately, and when I stopped after two years, no symptoms returned.
So... That's what I will do if I think I have Lyme again.
Thank You so much for Your efforts and the data You bring forth!!!
I am looking for answers here in the comments. I will look into this. My comment is directly above yours and I have suffered greatly and say what I think it is. I was bitten by the ticks, had the target bites, and was on no medication. since I don't believe in western medicine unless life or death - then maybe penicillin.
WHo knows what it really is but I find it interesting that the same spirochete is in my other bodily plague, Lichen sclerosis. They said we didn't have lyme in my area at the time. So what the hell makes that kind of a bite? Both of mine necrosed at the very center, the site of the bite. Still scarred from it. Was on inner thighs both times because I used to crawl under decks and garden in deer territory and these are deer ticks. Maybe they were genetically modified? After all, they do it to mosquitoes. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
thanks so much. I'm willing to try anything except 'their' solutions haha. I tried steroids for a week for lychen and it amped up all the symptoms so much worse so I got off, but either way I am in constant misery. Got bit decades ago so it's hard to know what the hell is going on but I also think low level radiation , EMFs, and everything being sprayed on us. pharma drugs excreted out of us into watersheds, etc also play a big part in weakening our body's resistance to whatever is being unleashed on us by profiteers only interested in money and grift and how much they can bamboozle people.
I've read that olive leaf extract can help with or even cure Lyme disease. If you do a Google search on Olive Leafe Extract Lyme Disease, they'll even let you see it! 😊
Unfortunate... there's a reason it's so successful for off label treatments. One of the main properties of these drugs is they inhibit cell replication. That, alone, is huge!
The rampant explosion of EMF has exacerbated modern diseases like Lyme as well, as mycotoxins perceive electromagnetic radiation as a threat to their survival, in some instances multiplying and reproducing 600x faster than normal:
Although I suspect that my long covid was triggered by 5G and not by the covid virus, I suspect that it had to have something to trigger. My "pre-existing condition" was the often misdiagnosed fibromyalgia. When I came out of hospital after covid, I had much worsened FMS and ALSO a set of vagus nerve symptoms that were new. Those vagus nerve symptoms are largely nuisance value rather than disabling, and disappear for extended periods, returning with less severity when something else hits my health hard. But the worsening of the FMS is disabling and is not healing itself.
Please can I say this, as you may have a workable response. I get a bit irritated with your advice to protect from EMFs because it is only useful advice for those with bucket loads of spare cash to create a livable Faraday cage or move completely away from civilization. It is profoundly western, privileged, middle class. I am poor and I live in a flat in a city. It doesn't matter how well I clean up my own flat (and even changing light bulbs challenges my finances), I am going to be impacted by all of our neighbors plus city traffic, and every time we leave our home we are going to be bombarded. EMF shielding clothing seems to do more harm than good, and we need to work out how to protect ourselves with realistic wearables, and maybe realistic consumables that neutrallise bad energies while attracting good energies. I have frankly, given up. I wear a shungite necklace, a 4G phone (I can't afford a landline) and have a few special light globes. That's it. Beyond that, my body is going to have to learn to cope, so I am waiting for the science to catch up and be useful to help poor people like me protect our bodies in realistic ways.
There are many thousands of us who are sick with long covid rather than long vaxx. We are not getting much attention because it does not fit with any of the false narratives out there. If you are interested you can lurk on the long covid support groups on Facebook and you will find that actual "long covid" people are suffering a range of vagus nerve, autonomic nervous system and mitochondrial collapse symptoms. Long vaxx people are suffering all that, and heart and circulation issues in addition, which long covid people luckily do not seem to be suffering. But few are bothering to pay us any attention at this stage. But just because we are ignored, does not mean we don't exist.
If the problem is viral, I agree with you. But the cause could also be 5G rollout and many other toxicity issues. I was hospitalised with double pneumonia and hypoxia, which is symptomatic of a bad EMF response. But after I left hospital, my teeth started breaking off and I had to have significant dentistry - and there was also reporting of the same toxins found in the jab and in dental anesthetics - so that is another way of getting us - Covid Vax, EMFs, dental anesthetics, chemtrails, shedding, insulin injections - who knows?
Sorry to hear you are sick. There is no covid (certificate of vaccination identification) virus, no virus has ever been isolated fulfilling the scientific method, only by using fraudulent 'protocols' and basically a form of medical sorcery.
Whatever has caused your long illness, it is not a virus.
Perhaps its more likely the affects of the psychological operation that was conducted at that time, along with other factors such as increased radiation, perhaps targeted in areas, and affecting those susceptible enough.
'Viruses' are absolutely 100% made up. They are just borning old bits of inert cellular debris. This is the (honest) conclusion of every single virology experiment ever conducted.
But it's also true (like you say) that people got sick, often for prolonged periods, in 2020/21 without getting the vax.
FWIW I have documented cases of 'long covid' symptoms going back years, long before 'covid'. Identical symptoms including fatigue, tinnitus, weird electrical and buzzing sensations in the skin, rashes, insomnia, brain fog etc etc etc...
Many were directly related to the installation of new cell towers.
All 'pandemics' of history have been either made up completely, or were caused by industrial poisoning, chemical weapons used in warfare, new drugs and vaccines, new pesticides, EMF and things like that.
They blame all this on 'viruses' (sub microscope nothing burgers) because that lets industry off the hook for making everyone sick. Plus they can cash in on everyone's sickness by selling a bunch of vaccines, which only make people even more sick, which means they can seel another round of vaccines and treatments for that too.
It's an absolutely satanic business model.
So anyway, just wanted to say the fact that 'viruses' don't exist does not mean you were not sick.... and you being sick does not mean 'viruses' must be real.
There are unfortunately many, many possible explanations for why you got sick :(
Your certainty exposes your ignorance. No-one in the world currently fully understands covid, let alone pathways to recovery from "long covid". As far as we can currently tell, viral spread is real (patterns are too consistent to dismiss), terrain matters massively (who gets sick, how badly, how long), and exosomes are real players, but not a full replacement explanation for viruses. These are all PART of the story, but none alone tells the whole story. Something transmissible passes between people, and the body’s internal state decides the outcome.
In the meantime sick people are losing their lifestyles first and eventually their lives to whatever the residual problem is from whatever happened starting in 2020. We need to get started on recovery protocols. We cannot wait for scientists in laboratories to tell the one and only true narrative. And the one thing we can all start with is healing the aspects of the terrain that were thrown offline in the five years since 2020 by whatever it was that did the damage. Without functional mitochondria, balanced ANS, proper blood circulation, and appropriate nutrition for our genetic makeup, the body simply cannot heal itself, no matter how much help it gets.
At the same time we need to get going with housekeeping - getting rid of excesses of chemicals, heavy metals, and all manner of parasites, and possibly viruses or residual viral particles. We have to consider the role of exosomes even if they are not the sole cause of the problem. If we can get appropriate testing to identify chemical, heavy metal, parasitic or viral overload, we can target each one individually, but if not we can still do a broad sweep to reduce the total toxic load on the body and enhance detox pathways.
And all this while we are waiting to find out what really ails us. So try not to sabotage the conversation with your simplistic, "no such thing as a virus" line. People like me are heartily sick of it. You have become trolls!
The theory of 'contagion' (of any kind) has therefore been thoroughly disproven. The only reason why this theory is still promoted as valid and taught in medical schools is that it provides the justification for 1) social control and and power grabs by the ruling class and 2) mass vaccination programs to weaken and kill ff the population and profit from their demise along the way.
'Viral spread' only exists as a metaphor, like 'the spread of a viral video'. In nature 'viruses' have never been shown to exist. They only 'exist' in the digital realm and as a kind of 'superstitious belief' or 'mythical creature' which is spread online via gossip and fear mongering.
Obviously no model of 'viral contagion' could be created as all the experiments in real life failed, so in order to create a model of 'viral contagion' in the run up to 2020 they conducted an experiment (in 2017) to spread a 'digital pathogen' across the UK via 30,000 smartphone apps.
The 'virus' was just a special app the volunteers downloaded onto their phones. The data set from this experiment was used 3 years later (2020) to justify lockdowns. The BBC even turned the whole experiment into a TV show.
So you see, the whole thing is just made up nonsense.
"...(patterns are too consistent to dismiss)..."
The pattern is every time they want to make a load of money they invent a fake pandemic and use it to arm twist governments into buying massive stocks of their 'magic potion', which the government is happy to do because it's the taxpayer who ends up paying for them.
"Something transmissible passes between people, and the body’s internal state decides the outcome."
There is simply no scientific evidence to back up this theory. Every attempt to demonstrate this theory has failed.
"And all this while we are waiting to find out what really ails us."
As I mentioned already, these imaginary 'viruses' are used as patsies to take the blame for the things we know DO make people sick like industrial pollution, EMF, pesticides, the stresses of wars and psychological operations, moderns drugs and vaccines etc.
"So try not to sabotage the conversation with your simplistic, "no such thing as a virus" line. People like me are heartily sick of it. You have become trolls!"
You are defining facts and science as 'sabotage'.
In a way you are correct. Facts and science do have the effect of 'sabotaging' people's irrational superstitious beliefs.
Having our own superstitious beliefs exposed as false by science is incredibly annoying, and makes us feel like we are being trolled.
Imagine knowing (for sure!) that scurvy was spread by a contagious pathogen that got on board the ships and writing books about the topic, or joining campaign groups to 'stamp out scurvy by imposing proper quarantining at ports!'
Now imagine someone comes along as says there is no scurvy pathogen and that the whole thing is caused by a lack of fruit smoothies.
nothing about corona studies reply was simplistic. also, they could be justified in replying (if they wanted to lower themselves to your level of hysteria) that your reply exposes your arrogance.
modern medical 'science' looks at everything on a material level when very likely, whilst the effects are material, the causes are on an energetic level.
the powers that shouldn't be operate on this level, that is how this place (earth) appears to work, and they use that knowledge to their advantage against those they seek to control (the rest of us).
Exactly. They have weaponized mycoplasma with AIDS and patented it. Nobody is talking about this or chagas disease as they are also dropping kissing bugs in the southeast. There is also a heavy mold.
I stopped seeing the doctor entirely. Nothing changed except my co-pay, lol. Traumatic injuries requiring stitches, splints or casts, sure I’ll go to the ER, but no more high pressure sales visits for vaccines. Once you hit about 55, they suddenly start pushing more of them. Eat right, avoid sugar, moderate your alcohol intake and exercise.
I really liked Ray Peat and his information on progesterone, but I disagree with his take on sugar and avoidance of grains. It’s the ancient freshly-milled grains that can heal much of our sick world.
Keep in mind that Ray Peat was also trained in Rockefeller “science”, so it’s hard for ALL medical professionals to relearn true physiology & biology. So much we were taught is just not true, and many recommendations by smart, well-meaning,
healthy, root cause doctors are based on a false foundation. Myself included, I’ve had to relearn so much!
Fun fact - In 1962 Ray Peat founded his own college in an effort to sidestep the dogma and corruption he perceived in the academic and scientific community.
Yes it’s true. Sugar (especially fructose) is highly therapeutic and necessary for the human organism. Check out Kate Deering’s book called How to Heal Your Metabolism
Perhaps Lyme could be the body’s detoxification method due to other bodily insults such as other vaccines (over and over), drugs, meds, antibiotics, land and air contamination from chemical spills or similar (so a test & vax are ‘cover’ for the indiscretion caused by local, state or federal govts), crap food, smoking, etc. ❤️🩹
During the plandemic I started researching a lot of nutrient deficiencies as I had been sick with the cold / flu seasonally for a long time. Lost sense of smell during bad cold/flu/covid symptoms early 2020.
Led down the rabbit hole of fixing low magnesium and calcium channel blockage via mag bicarbonate - homemade solution cost is extremely low once you purchase a carbonated water device. Added vitamin k2 and large dose vitamin C.
Began feeling far better. Eventually tried some heavy metal detox solutions via chelation as I had been vaccinated many times as a child against my will.
Very noticable effects during this time and a few years go by continue with better diet - quit alcohol. And boom end up with "shingles"
It felt like to me at the time this was a heavy detox symptom. Recovered after yes severe leg pain then eventually did a 6month liver cleanse via keto diet. Ever since I've gotten about 2 colds that lasted less than 24 hours.
Before that it was clockwork seasonal colds/allergy symptoms.
Is shingles and/or lyme heavy metal poisoning symptoms? Very well could be. My gut tells me that untreated could develop into MS especially if liver gets sluggish which is extremely common on American diet + alcohol.
Is this some protocol for everyone? No everyone's health is different.
Sharing because yes, absolutely your body is capable of healing from illness and you will need to use some intuition or get some holistic help. Never felt better and I'm under 40 yrs old so probably also made healing easier. Of all things I tried the hardest and most rewarding as far as symptoms go was the keto diet. Highly recommend looking up Dr Berg on YouTube for anyone interested in that path. It's easy to get low on electrolytes when on keto so supplementation is a must to avoid "keto flu" symptoms.
Along with Dr. Berg, we get much good Keto and Carnivore content from Dr. Sean O’Mara, Dr. Shawn Baker and Dr. Ken Berry…we esp. like Metabolic Mind, as well…Dr Anthony Chaffee is another good one..
Agreed. Dr Berry's "beef, butter, bacon and eggs" was the major part of my diet the whole time and made it far less overwhelming to keep things simple and make sure you're eating enough.
My father dropped dead of a heart attack after the third booster of the Lyme disease vaccine in 1999, produced by GlaxoSmithKline. They called it heart stop or heart block, which caused sudden death! In 2003 a class action lawsuit was filed against GlaxoSmithKline. Interesting to note: in the book the War against Chlorine Dioxide by Dr. Pierre Kory, he mentioned that CDS was not only effective on water borne pathogens, but also it was effective against malaria as well. It would be interesting to see if CDS could be beneficial in the Lyme disease arena as well?
A friend’s healthy and very active grandmother was dramatically affected by the 1976 flu shot. Got out of the pool after her daily swim and dropped to the gound. She never walked again, GBS.
Oh, my. What a tragedy. I have a high school classmate who was on her way to be a nurse in the Peace Corps in South America. She got the 1976 flu shot and has been in an motorized wheelchair ever since.
"Just a reminder that I don’t have to provide an explanation for the origin of this collection of symptoms to say that the foundational paper is bullshit. Nor do I need a fully formed alternative to see a house of cards when I’m looking at one".
Yep, something is not true because it hasn't been proven false. Thats the logical fallacy called " argument from ignorance".
“Of 142 specimens from 56 patients, 3 yielded spirochetes.” (“Please read that again.”) Exactly! I had read the thing aloud again, as if addressing a classroom of people not getting it. But Sarah, please note that it’s not 3 out of 56 but 3 out of 142 samples. So it’s possible that only one of the patients had the bacteria.
Yes, I noticed this. You are correct, only 2% of the TOTAL samples had this bacterium. However the study says, “The isolates were recovered from different patients and from different parts of the body: one from blood, one from skin-biopsy of ECM, and one from cerebrospinal fluid.” I chose to highlight the 3/56 rather than 3/142 because I felt like I would be juicing the numbers to make a point that was already made. Either way, it’s staggering that this is the premise on which Lyme disease is built.
Apologies for the long post, but from previous experience (90s/00s) of helping to design; redesign; assess and comment upon studies and clinical trial studies; evaluating said data and sitting in pre-published 'discussions,' I have some understanding of just how underhand academics and industry can be in their publications and product marketing. I would be skeptical that the 1.4% figure from 142 cases may not be a consequence of other factors: secondary infection; contamination; vascular trauma; nosocomial infection 'complication' (and so on) from invasive procedures (blood draw; skin-biopsy and CSF) as 'diagnostics.' Undeclared "re-packaging and de-selection" of events (in/from published literatures) was not unknown.
COVID "medical practices" higlighted that simply being admitted to a hospital indicates that, if "preventables" were categorized as a standalone cause of death, they would rank as the third leading cause in the U.S. (behind heart disease and cancer).
I also watched and listened to veterinary MDs discuss how many animals they "killed due to botched procedures" - so nothing attached to institutionalized medicine would surprise me.
Even where-and-when evidence is either scarce or non-existent, the caveat or proxy "limited" will be adduced, so-as-not-to totally discredit the publication; study; marketing and "effectiveness of," as has been seen in virology - an entire field! Conflation, interpretation or a confused relationship (inter alia) regarding problem; method; data (biological phenomenon; clinical; experimental et al) will not be stopped by "undetermination of evidence," even where different clinical or experimental findings cannot be reconciled - due to asymetric conceptual frameworks of 'understanding.'
One saw that, often, the words-in-use did not even mean the same regarding different praxis and practitioners and one was unable to distinguish the clinical and experimental, without inference. It should not be forgotten that the clinical setting was/is "in situ" to the environment that produced "it." Much of the selection criteria was "washed," alongside the use of technical processes and their data. I watched many discussions where "the data" (especially aggregated data which masks individual and often severe cases and its in situ production), is obfuscated rather than used to illuminate, with said discussions highlighting this, whilst both pre-trial experimental design and ongoing trials being unable to provide "independent conditions" to make 'robust' comparisons - which confrmed this. One is limited - by the fact - that many of the key decison-makers are looking at the remnants and artifacts of a biological and clinical process - rather than the process itself. When the results from these indirect measurements contradict the 'foundational assumptions' of the attached studies and/or technologies - they are simply ignored. Truth (and coherence) is a distant second to other "objectives and outcomes," as much of the "Standard Model of Medicine" has shown post-WW2.
As you highlight Sarah, the complexities of accurate diagnosis and ambiguous symptoms are not only omnipresent, but can be overwhelming, due to the asymetry between conceptual framework and experimental methods; questionable 'tests' and the overlap between the misunderstood conditions you mention; Fibromyalgia; Lyme Disease and MS. As elsewhere with X-rays, MRIs & CT, invasive procedures can lead to secondary damage; infection and induce further chronic conditions. Post the most recent poisonous injections (from 2020 onwards), people with attached conditions to the 'jabs' are at further risk from endless attached immuncompromise and additional conditions (systematic multi-organ and intravascular inflammation), which accelerate such diagnostic and clinical procedures being deemed as "necessary" - in the brain; colon; genitalia; heart; hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis; kidney; liver; thyroid; causal-contributory vascular endothelium and so on...
As with previous vaccine injuries, I am certain systemic biodistribution of injection contents is central to the ongoing chronic pain and suffering being caused.
Establishing a meaningful and sensible phenomenal occurrence - "this;" or "that" occurrence, or it being "something else" in-and-as "what we have - or do not have - in front of us," is difficult for those practising with 'honest endeavor,' even before one is dealing with those practising in and selling us their 'dishonest endeavors.'
Pharma attached to AI will (I am sure) attempt to convince us that 'whatever the conditions are outside,' we are 'always living in winter' and its 'harsh realities.' There is simply too much money available in a multi-trillion Dollar industry for the psychopathic overlords to do otherwise...
Sometimes I feel like I'm a yelling into a void, although less so in this space. As I continue to look into this pile of "settled science", things only get less settled for me.
Most people in my in-person life glaze over when I try to explain what I'm seeing...so this is mostly the place I flesh out my thoughts (although I'm getting better at reducing the sauce for the general population).
Here on substack, it's nice to swim around with people open to interrogating the premises on which our system has been built. But it's rare to hear direct observation from someone who participated in the machine and came out on the other side willing to talk about it with intellectual honesty.
There are several of you that are on this board and I appreciate you so much. I'm always prepared for the Big Smarties to come in and tell me I don't understand biology or chemistry or math or trial design or ELISA plates or MRI or cancer, etc, etc, etc...and it's nice to hear from those of you who have the chops. Thank you.
Much appreciated Sarah. I could not agree more. Thirty years through engineering, statistics, biochemistry, pharmaceutical factory building, biology, organized research - and I now know that I do not really know what I thought I knew!
The foundations are now as rocky as the Moon; the more I dig. It is so difficult to 'sift through the spaces' between concepts, phenomena, objects, experimental methods, clinical settings, data, findings, products and be sure of what one 'sees' or thinks one has. Intellectually honest research created more questions and provided fewer answers, when one was being intellectually honest. Discovering science became discovering honesty and deception.
For a person coming from a background of acdemic freedom to 'think about things' openly, this was sobering. Whether in industry or academia, it was all the same. To discover that 'it' had been like this for over 100 years was even more disheartening too - whether I was in the U.S., Europe; Asia or the Antipodes. Silos everywhere, endemic corruption and dishonesty too. Public and private science. And the 'machine' ony wants to print money or extract wealth from us.
Keep at it Sarah, whatever and however you divide 'front stage and back stage' between here and home. I simply approach life the way I was brought up: "tell the truth, treat others as you want to be treated, do not be a patsy and when you think you are being played, be skeptical, open to arguments, but stay vigilant."
So much of what we thought we have is illusion from a bunch of hucksters. Do not look at their hands, but ask yourself, "to where are they misdirecting my attention," and follow your instincts.
At the end of it all, I learned that we must stay human. I will not let a bunch of psychopaths take my humanity from me. It is reassuring that SS shows that people like your followers and you help each other to 'straighten out our thoughts' and to do respectfully and honestly. After a long day, it is a rewarding way to sign off...
You're right, it does say "the isolates were recovered from different patients." My guess though is that, considering how these studies famously obfuscate, that means only "two" patients. If it was three (i.e., patients and not just samples), they'd definitely say so.
The craziest part of this recommendation is to wear white clothing. The tick that carries Lyme disease is a deer tick.
When I used to do pest control management I noticed that if I wore white socks in an area that had fleas they were attracted to the white. Black socks were way less problematic. I literally had a white sock on a string to toss into areas that dogs were just to see what the flea situation was.
The worst thing that people did was leave the crawl area open for the dogs to go cool off. Here in Ga I rarely saw this situation without a horrible flea infestation. In fact I used the white sock on a string to show the client that was reluctant to block the dogs from the crawl area how bad it really was. I simply tossed the sock under the house then slowly removed it by the string attached. Sometimes it would be absolutely shocking how bad it could get. I’ve had customers tell me that they opened it up so that the dogs could cool down. I reminded them that all dogs need is good water an open air shade spot, and they, and your electric bill will thank you.
Anyway white clothes definitely attracts blood parasites. Every woodland creature has a white belly. 🤷🏻♂️
Fascinating. I recall now seeing a programme on TV many years ago where different colour materials were put on the ground to which different insects were attracted.
I am not interested if this vaccine does not have SV40 cancer promoters or …. Hormone disruptors…heavy metals…. P53 blockers… toll like receptors blockers … and those extra helpful things that switch off immune systems and force people onto ventilators… it has to be deemed safe and effective and carry the indemnity against prosecution… only then will I trust it to wipe out all my enemies.
Climate change is "expanding the range of areas in which ticks can live"? Ticks already live throughout the US and into Canada. They're also found throughout Mexico, Central America, and South America, probably down to the southern latitudes that correspond to the northern limits of their range. I have to assume that last part because if I saw one more picture of a tick in a DDG Images map I was going to rinse my eyes with Clorox, so I stopped researching it. Anyway, outside of flies and cockroaches it's hard to imagine a more widely distributed animal than ticks. So where's this expansion going to take place?
Somebody needs to explain why something caused by bacteria, treatable with antibiotics, and preventable with Deep Woods Off needs a "vaccine" now. And they have to explain it without using the words "pharma" and "profits."
As a commentor asked in response to an Iran war discussion, "If petroleum use is reduced, will that help the climate change crisis"?
As your article reveals, lyme disease can neither be reliably diagnosed, nor can indirect evidence such as an ELISA identify said disease.
What you are battling is decades (centuries?) of false beliefs and assumptions as was told to the public using propaganda and misinformation that was easily perpetuated when information was all controlled in the pre-internet years.
Work such as yours is the antidote to such false beliefs and assumptions. Especially among younger readers who are more liable to question propaganda than we older folk who grew up hearing no truth.
As to the science, few scientific techniques have as many pitfalls as ELISAs. ELISA plates, protein binding, wash methods, blocking method used, quality of antibody, characterization of the antibody, quality of the conjugated-enzyme, plate detection algorithm used- all these are variables. Variables which have no possible way to determine if that variability has been overcome or not. And even if done properly, which is infrequent, the test itself is indirect evidence which is not even considered scientific confirmation. It's just a mess.
For instance, I have spent months developing a single ELISA to the point that it produced results that could be considered scientifically valid. But those results were only a starting point- secondary and tertiary assays were also developed in which the ELISA results were further tested as ELISA indirect evidence results are not considered as scientific confirmation.
I consistently appreciate your comments, David. Thank you. I find it incredibly refreshing to hear about your actual experience in the field, and learn so much when you weigh in.
I typically get a small amount of push back when I write about these topics, and today is no exception. It takes some personal restraint for me to refrain from engaging with comments/Notes that are clearly aimed at drawing me into an endless debate.
I came across your comment at the perfect time as it distracted me from a lazy, typical ploy … and I was reminded that engaging with people like you is a far better use of my time. Many thanks for always adding to conversation here. I appreciate you.
Thank you. A couple general comments on running scientific experiments. Most experiments involve combining clear liquids and then trying to determine what happened in that mixture. Second, in the pre-kit days (1980s and earlier) we used to mix our own solutions, so we had an understanding, at least, of what clear liquids we were combining, and, therefore had a better chance of understanding the intended purpose of each clear liquid. But, for the past 30 years, kits containing premixed solutions are used. So, as I explained to my students, one could either mix TE + NaOH/SDS + Na acetate as in the old days, or mix Solution A, Solution B, and Solution C, using kit components.
A couple anecdotes on running ELISAs. Plate choice, mixing in a well, and washing seem simple steps. But, when running my first ELISA, i spent 3 months unable to get consistent results. I mentioned my frustration to a colleague who had run ELISAs for 20 years at her previous job. She gave me a paper which had tested 40 some ELISA plates and determined that only 2 bound protein effectively. I purchased some of the recommend plates, and that made all the difference. But, understand, all the plates I had been using were supposedly high protien binding plates.
Another anecdote. I happened across an online video showing mixing efficiency in wells. Now, i had been using plate mixers to mix well contents for years, as I had been taught, assuming mixing was efficiently occurring. So, I tested this using a little dye in the well, and it turned out that the setting I had been using did nothing but swirl the contents around and around without mixing at all. Lesson learned.
I’ve long believed that Lyme disease is collective damage from some other source, primarily vaccines. Like you said though, it’s probably more messy. An amalgamation of sorts.
My 6 year old dog developed a rare cancer and died after getting a Lyme vaccine. The details include more complexity and evidence.
About a decade ago, I had what They were saying was Lyme. Rather than indulge the pHARMa/mediKILL industry's recommendations, I went on Cat's Claw (an herb) for about two years. The symptoms abated nearly immediately, and when I stopped after two years, no symptoms returned.
So... That's what I will do if I think I have Lyme again.
Thank You so much for Your efforts and the data You bring forth!!!
Beautiful. Glad you took this route. Good job. You're smart.
🙏🏻 💜 🙏🏻 Humble thanks!
No problem.
I am looking for answers here in the comments. I will look into this. My comment is directly above yours and I have suffered greatly and say what I think it is. I was bitten by the ticks, had the target bites, and was on no medication. since I don't believe in western medicine unless life or death - then maybe penicillin.
WHo knows what it really is but I find it interesting that the same spirochete is in my other bodily plague, Lichen sclerosis. They said we didn't have lyme in my area at the time. So what the hell makes that kind of a bite? Both of mine necrosed at the very center, the site of the bite. Still scarred from it. Was on inner thighs both times because I used to crawl under decks and garden in deer territory and these are deer ticks. Maybe they were genetically modified? After all, they do it to mosquitoes. Nothing would surprise me at this point.
I really don't know what it all is - I did find a tick but no target... And I know that cat's claw herb cleared it right up. [shrug]
I do wish You well in solving for these issues!!!
thanks so much. I'm willing to try anything except 'their' solutions haha. I tried steroids for a week for lychen and it amped up all the symptoms so much worse so I got off, but either way I am in constant misery. Got bit decades ago so it's hard to know what the hell is going on but I also think low level radiation , EMFs, and everything being sprayed on us. pharma drugs excreted out of us into watersheds, etc also play a big part in weakening our body's resistance to whatever is being unleashed on us by profiteers only interested in money and grift and how much they can bamboozle people.
Oh, They surely are assaulting Us in many ways. They are so beneath the beasts!
I've read that olive leaf extract can help with or even cure Lyme disease. If you do a Google search on Olive Leafe Extract Lyme Disease, they'll even let you see it! 😊
Perhaps you may find this of some use. I hope for the best in your challenge.

Did anyone suggest an anti parasitic treatment at that time?
Nope.
Unfortunate... there's a reason it's so successful for off label treatments. One of the main properties of these drugs is they inhibit cell replication. That, alone, is huge!
[shrug] The cat's claw worked marvelously. If I had not had success, I might have looked further.
that’s encouraging. will try.
May it work and keep Me posted!
The rampant explosion of EMF has exacerbated modern diseases like Lyme as well, as mycotoxins perceive electromagnetic radiation as a threat to their survival, in some instances multiplying and reproducing 600x faster than normal:

Although I suspect that my long covid was triggered by 5G and not by the covid virus, I suspect that it had to have something to trigger. My "pre-existing condition" was the often misdiagnosed fibromyalgia. When I came out of hospital after covid, I had much worsened FMS and ALSO a set of vagus nerve symptoms that were new. Those vagus nerve symptoms are largely nuisance value rather than disabling, and disappear for extended periods, returning with less severity when something else hits my health hard. But the worsening of the FMS is disabling and is not healing itself.
Please can I say this, as you may have a workable response. I get a bit irritated with your advice to protect from EMFs because it is only useful advice for those with bucket loads of spare cash to create a livable Faraday cage or move completely away from civilization. It is profoundly western, privileged, middle class. I am poor and I live in a flat in a city. It doesn't matter how well I clean up my own flat (and even changing light bulbs challenges my finances), I am going to be impacted by all of our neighbors plus city traffic, and every time we leave our home we are going to be bombarded. EMF shielding clothing seems to do more harm than good, and we need to work out how to protect ourselves with realistic wearables, and maybe realistic consumables that neutrallise bad energies while attracting good energies. I have frankly, given up. I wear a shungite necklace, a 4G phone (I can't afford a landline) and have a few special light globes. That's it. Beyond that, my body is going to have to learn to cope, so I am waiting for the science to catch up and be useful to help poor people like me protect our bodies in realistic ways.
Long covid from the covid shot.
Simplistic. I didn't get the shot.
You're the fist then.
There are many thousands of us who are sick with long covid rather than long vaxx. We are not getting much attention because it does not fit with any of the false narratives out there. If you are interested you can lurk on the long covid support groups on Facebook and you will find that actual "long covid" people are suffering a range of vagus nerve, autonomic nervous system and mitochondrial collapse symptoms. Long vaxx people are suffering all that, and heart and circulation issues in addition, which long covid people luckily do not seem to be suffering. But few are bothering to pay us any attention at this stage. But just because we are ignored, does not mean we don't exist.
Facebook? Lol.
How do you explain that covid was never isolated which means proven to exist?
shedding plays a part for many of us who never took the jab but ended up with up to now, permanent symptoms from convid.
If the problem is viral, I agree with you. But the cause could also be 5G rollout and many other toxicity issues. I was hospitalised with double pneumonia and hypoxia, which is symptomatic of a bad EMF response. But after I left hospital, my teeth started breaking off and I had to have significant dentistry - and there was also reporting of the same toxins found in the jab and in dental anesthetics - so that is another way of getting us - Covid Vax, EMFs, dental anesthetics, chemtrails, shedding, insulin injections - who knows?
Sorry to hear you are sick. There is no covid (certificate of vaccination identification) virus, no virus has ever been isolated fulfilling the scientific method, only by using fraudulent 'protocols' and basically a form of medical sorcery.
Whatever has caused your long illness, it is not a virus.
Perhaps its more likely the affects of the psychological operation that was conducted at that time, along with other factors such as increased radiation, perhaps targeted in areas, and affecting those susceptible enough.
The sick people who didn't inject, I assume got 'tested'.
Yes, we are all f***ing idiots. It's all in our brainless heads.
Both can be true at the same time.
'Viruses' are absolutely 100% made up. They are just borning old bits of inert cellular debris. This is the (honest) conclusion of every single virology experiment ever conducted.
But it's also true (like you say) that people got sick, often for prolonged periods, in 2020/21 without getting the vax.
FWIW I have documented cases of 'long covid' symptoms going back years, long before 'covid'. Identical symptoms including fatigue, tinnitus, weird electrical and buzzing sensations in the skin, rashes, insomnia, brain fog etc etc etc...
Many were directly related to the installation of new cell towers.
All 'pandemics' of history have been either made up completely, or were caused by industrial poisoning, chemical weapons used in warfare, new drugs and vaccines, new pesticides, EMF and things like that.
They blame all this on 'viruses' (sub microscope nothing burgers) because that lets industry off the hook for making everyone sick. Plus they can cash in on everyone's sickness by selling a bunch of vaccines, which only make people even more sick, which means they can seel another round of vaccines and treatments for that too.
It's an absolutely satanic business model.
So anyway, just wanted to say the fact that 'viruses' don't exist does not mean you were not sick.... and you being sick does not mean 'viruses' must be real.
There are unfortunately many, many possible explanations for why you got sick :(
Your certainty exposes your ignorance. No-one in the world currently fully understands covid, let alone pathways to recovery from "long covid". As far as we can currently tell, viral spread is real (patterns are too consistent to dismiss), terrain matters massively (who gets sick, how badly, how long), and exosomes are real players, but not a full replacement explanation for viruses. These are all PART of the story, but none alone tells the whole story. Something transmissible passes between people, and the body’s internal state decides the outcome.
In the meantime sick people are losing their lifestyles first and eventually their lives to whatever the residual problem is from whatever happened starting in 2020. We need to get started on recovery protocols. We cannot wait for scientists in laboratories to tell the one and only true narrative. And the one thing we can all start with is healing the aspects of the terrain that were thrown offline in the five years since 2020 by whatever it was that did the damage. Without functional mitochondria, balanced ANS, proper blood circulation, and appropriate nutrition for our genetic makeup, the body simply cannot heal itself, no matter how much help it gets.
At the same time we need to get going with housekeeping - getting rid of excesses of chemicals, heavy metals, and all manner of parasites, and possibly viruses or residual viral particles. We have to consider the role of exosomes even if they are not the sole cause of the problem. If we can get appropriate testing to identify chemical, heavy metal, parasitic or viral overload, we can target each one individually, but if not we can still do a broad sweep to reduce the total toxic load on the body and enhance detox pathways.
And all this while we are waiting to find out what really ails us. So try not to sabotage the conversation with your simplistic, "no such thing as a virus" line. People like me are heartily sick of it. You have become trolls!
"As far as we can currently tell, viral spread is real"
We have over 200 years of experiments trying to demonstrate 'viral spread'. All have failed.
https://drmikeyeadon.substack.com/p/transmission-failure
The theory of 'contagion' (of any kind) has therefore been thoroughly disproven. The only reason why this theory is still promoted as valid and taught in medical schools is that it provides the justification for 1) social control and and power grabs by the ruling class and 2) mass vaccination programs to weaken and kill ff the population and profit from their demise along the way.
'Viral spread' only exists as a metaphor, like 'the spread of a viral video'. In nature 'viruses' have never been shown to exist. They only 'exist' in the digital realm and as a kind of 'superstitious belief' or 'mythical creature' which is spread online via gossip and fear mongering.
Obviously no model of 'viral contagion' could be created as all the experiments in real life failed, so in order to create a model of 'viral contagion' in the run up to 2020 they conducted an experiment (in 2017) to spread a 'digital pathogen' across the UK via 30,000 smartphone apps.
The 'virus' was just a special app the volunteers downloaded onto their phones. The data set from this experiment was used 3 years later (2020) to justify lockdowns. The BBC even turned the whole experiment into a TV show.
https://odysee.com/@CoronaStudies:3/SMART-HEIST:7
So you see, the whole thing is just made up nonsense.
"...(patterns are too consistent to dismiss)..."
The pattern is every time they want to make a load of money they invent a fake pandemic and use it to arm twist governments into buying massive stocks of their 'magic potion', which the government is happy to do because it's the taxpayer who ends up paying for them.
"Something transmissible passes between people, and the body’s internal state decides the outcome."
There is simply no scientific evidence to back up this theory. Every attempt to demonstrate this theory has failed.
"And all this while we are waiting to find out what really ails us."
As I mentioned already, these imaginary 'viruses' are used as patsies to take the blame for the things we know DO make people sick like industrial pollution, EMF, pesticides, the stresses of wars and psychological operations, moderns drugs and vaccines etc.
"So try not to sabotage the conversation with your simplistic, "no such thing as a virus" line. People like me are heartily sick of it. You have become trolls!"
You are defining facts and science as 'sabotage'.
In a way you are correct. Facts and science do have the effect of 'sabotaging' people's irrational superstitious beliefs.
Having our own superstitious beliefs exposed as false by science is incredibly annoying, and makes us feel like we are being trolled.
Imagine knowing (for sure!) that scurvy was spread by a contagious pathogen that got on board the ships and writing books about the topic, or joining campaign groups to 'stamp out scurvy by imposing proper quarantining at ports!'
Now imagine someone comes along as says there is no scurvy pathogen and that the whole thing is caused by a lack of fruit smoothies.
How annoying would that be!? :)
nothing about corona studies reply was simplistic. also, they could be justified in replying (if they wanted to lower themselves to your level of hysteria) that your reply exposes your arrogance.
modern medical 'science' looks at everything on a material level when very likely, whilst the effects are material, the causes are on an energetic level.
the powers that shouldn't be operate on this level, that is how this place (earth) appears to work, and they use that knowledge to their advantage against those they seek to control (the rest of us).
This is a spot on comment. 💯
Exactly. They have weaponized mycoplasma with AIDS and patented it. Nobody is talking about this or chagas disease as they are also dropping kissing bugs in the southeast. There is also a heavy mold.
Incredible, thanks for posting Sasha!!
I stopped seeing the doctor entirely. Nothing changed except my co-pay, lol. Traumatic injuries requiring stitches, splints or casts, sure I’ll go to the ER, but no more high pressure sales visits for vaccines. Once you hit about 55, they suddenly start pushing more of them. Eat right, avoid sugar, moderate your alcohol intake and exercise.
I feel similarly, George.
Sugar is a health food! www.raypeat.com
Only the stuff nature put in the fruits. The rest is poison. ☠️
I really liked Ray Peat and his information on progesterone, but I disagree with his take on sugar and avoidance of grains. It’s the ancient freshly-milled grains that can heal much of our sick world.
Keep in mind that Ray Peat was also trained in Rockefeller “science”, so it’s hard for ALL medical professionals to relearn true physiology & biology. So much we were taught is just not true, and many recommendations by smart, well-meaning,
healthy, root cause doctors are based on a false foundation. Myself included, I’ve had to relearn so much!
Fun fact - In 1962 Ray Peat founded his own college in an effort to sidestep the dogma and corruption he perceived in the academic and scientific community.
is this sarcasm or true? Sometimes I can't tell. I'm looking for answers to all the lies and fear mongering. Thanks.
Yes it’s true. Sugar (especially fructose) is highly therapeutic and necessary for the human organism. Check out Kate Deering’s book called How to Heal Your Metabolism
Perhaps Lyme could be the body’s detoxification method due to other bodily insults such as other vaccines (over and over), drugs, meds, antibiotics, land and air contamination from chemical spills or similar (so a test & vax are ‘cover’ for the indiscretion caused by local, state or federal govts), crap food, smoking, etc. ❤️🩹
You might be onto something here.
Anecdotal :
During the plandemic I started researching a lot of nutrient deficiencies as I had been sick with the cold / flu seasonally for a long time. Lost sense of smell during bad cold/flu/covid symptoms early 2020.
Led down the rabbit hole of fixing low magnesium and calcium channel blockage via mag bicarbonate - homemade solution cost is extremely low once you purchase a carbonated water device. Added vitamin k2 and large dose vitamin C.
Began feeling far better. Eventually tried some heavy metal detox solutions via chelation as I had been vaccinated many times as a child against my will.
Very noticable effects during this time and a few years go by continue with better diet - quit alcohol. And boom end up with "shingles"
It felt like to me at the time this was a heavy detox symptom. Recovered after yes severe leg pain then eventually did a 6month liver cleanse via keto diet. Ever since I've gotten about 2 colds that lasted less than 24 hours.
Before that it was clockwork seasonal colds/allergy symptoms.
Is shingles and/or lyme heavy metal poisoning symptoms? Very well could be. My gut tells me that untreated could develop into MS especially if liver gets sluggish which is extremely common on American diet + alcohol.
Is this some protocol for everyone? No everyone's health is different.
Sharing because yes, absolutely your body is capable of healing from illness and you will need to use some intuition or get some holistic help. Never felt better and I'm under 40 yrs old so probably also made healing easier. Of all things I tried the hardest and most rewarding as far as symptoms go was the keto diet. Highly recommend looking up Dr Berg on YouTube for anyone interested in that path. It's easy to get low on electrolytes when on keto so supplementation is a must to avoid "keto flu" symptoms.
God bless.
Along with Dr. Berg, we get much good Keto and Carnivore content from Dr. Sean O’Mara, Dr. Shawn Baker and Dr. Ken Berry…we esp. like Metabolic Mind, as well…Dr Anthony Chaffee is another good one..
Agreed. Dr Berry's "beef, butter, bacon and eggs" was the major part of my diet the whole time and made it far less overwhelming to keep things simple and make sure you're eating enough.
Oh goodness... Idiocracy will be on full display when we see who "lines up" for these... Darwin would be proud. 😝
I am beginning to wonder was as real as Shakespeare.
My father dropped dead of a heart attack after the third booster of the Lyme disease vaccine in 1999, produced by GlaxoSmithKline. They called it heart stop or heart block, which caused sudden death! In 2003 a class action lawsuit was filed against GlaxoSmithKline. Interesting to note: in the book the War against Chlorine Dioxide by Dr. Pierre Kory, he mentioned that CDS was not only effective on water borne pathogens, but also it was effective against malaria as well. It would be interesting to see if CDS could be beneficial in the Lyme disease arena as well?
A friend’s healthy and very active grandmother was dramatically affected by the 1976 flu shot. Got out of the pool after her daily swim and dropped to the gound. She never walked again, GBS.
Oh, my. What a tragedy. I have a high school classmate who was on her way to be a nurse in the Peace Corps in South America. She got the 1976 flu shot and has been in an motorized wheelchair ever since.
So sorry.
Imo wwiii is big harma based.
CDS is the Universal Antidote. All disease is the result of poisoning (includes EMF), stress or physical injury.
Thank you for your comment: "All disease is the result of poisoning..."
The public needs to learn this fact which has been obfuscated for years. (Forever?)
what is CDS, please? Not good with abbreviations. Thanks.
Chlorine dioxide solution also known as miracle mineral solution or MMS. They are slightly different, but do the same thing.
thanks! Will look up more about this.

"Just a reminder that I don’t have to provide an explanation for the origin of this collection of symptoms to say that the foundational paper is bullshit. Nor do I need a fully formed alternative to see a house of cards when I’m looking at one".
Yep, something is not true because it hasn't been proven false. Thats the logical fallacy called " argument from ignorance".
You need no science to just ignore vaccines and continue to live as if they don't exist. It's not a question of yes or no...it's not even a question.
“Of 142 specimens from 56 patients, 3 yielded spirochetes.” (“Please read that again.”) Exactly! I had read the thing aloud again, as if addressing a classroom of people not getting it. But Sarah, please note that it’s not 3 out of 56 but 3 out of 142 samples. So it’s possible that only one of the patients had the bacteria.
Yes, I noticed this. You are correct, only 2% of the TOTAL samples had this bacterium. However the study says, “The isolates were recovered from different patients and from different parts of the body: one from blood, one from skin-biopsy of ECM, and one from cerebrospinal fluid.” I chose to highlight the 3/56 rather than 3/142 because I felt like I would be juicing the numbers to make a point that was already made. Either way, it’s staggering that this is the premise on which Lyme disease is built.
Apologies for the long post, but from previous experience (90s/00s) of helping to design; redesign; assess and comment upon studies and clinical trial studies; evaluating said data and sitting in pre-published 'discussions,' I have some understanding of just how underhand academics and industry can be in their publications and product marketing. I would be skeptical that the 1.4% figure from 142 cases may not be a consequence of other factors: secondary infection; contamination; vascular trauma; nosocomial infection 'complication' (and so on) from invasive procedures (blood draw; skin-biopsy and CSF) as 'diagnostics.' Undeclared "re-packaging and de-selection" of events (in/from published literatures) was not unknown.
COVID "medical practices" higlighted that simply being admitted to a hospital indicates that, if "preventables" were categorized as a standalone cause of death, they would rank as the third leading cause in the U.S. (behind heart disease and cancer).
I also watched and listened to veterinary MDs discuss how many animals they "killed due to botched procedures" - so nothing attached to institutionalized medicine would surprise me.
Even where-and-when evidence is either scarce or non-existent, the caveat or proxy "limited" will be adduced, so-as-not-to totally discredit the publication; study; marketing and "effectiveness of," as has been seen in virology - an entire field! Conflation, interpretation or a confused relationship (inter alia) regarding problem; method; data (biological phenomenon; clinical; experimental et al) will not be stopped by "undetermination of evidence," even where different clinical or experimental findings cannot be reconciled - due to asymetric conceptual frameworks of 'understanding.'
One saw that, often, the words-in-use did not even mean the same regarding different praxis and practitioners and one was unable to distinguish the clinical and experimental, without inference. It should not be forgotten that the clinical setting was/is "in situ" to the environment that produced "it." Much of the selection criteria was "washed," alongside the use of technical processes and their data. I watched many discussions where "the data" (especially aggregated data which masks individual and often severe cases and its in situ production), is obfuscated rather than used to illuminate, with said discussions highlighting this, whilst both pre-trial experimental design and ongoing trials being unable to provide "independent conditions" to make 'robust' comparisons - which confrmed this. One is limited - by the fact - that many of the key decison-makers are looking at the remnants and artifacts of a biological and clinical process - rather than the process itself. When the results from these indirect measurements contradict the 'foundational assumptions' of the attached studies and/or technologies - they are simply ignored. Truth (and coherence) is a distant second to other "objectives and outcomes," as much of the "Standard Model of Medicine" has shown post-WW2.
As you highlight Sarah, the complexities of accurate diagnosis and ambiguous symptoms are not only omnipresent, but can be overwhelming, due to the asymetry between conceptual framework and experimental methods; questionable 'tests' and the overlap between the misunderstood conditions you mention; Fibromyalgia; Lyme Disease and MS. As elsewhere with X-rays, MRIs & CT, invasive procedures can lead to secondary damage; infection and induce further chronic conditions. Post the most recent poisonous injections (from 2020 onwards), people with attached conditions to the 'jabs' are at further risk from endless attached immuncompromise and additional conditions (systematic multi-organ and intravascular inflammation), which accelerate such diagnostic and clinical procedures being deemed as "necessary" - in the brain; colon; genitalia; heart; hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis; kidney; liver; thyroid; causal-contributory vascular endothelium and so on...
As with previous vaccine injuries, I am certain systemic biodistribution of injection contents is central to the ongoing chronic pain and suffering being caused.
Establishing a meaningful and sensible phenomenal occurrence - "this;" or "that" occurrence, or it being "something else" in-and-as "what we have - or do not have - in front of us," is difficult for those practising with 'honest endeavor,' even before one is dealing with those practising in and selling us their 'dishonest endeavors.'
Pharma attached to AI will (I am sure) attempt to convince us that 'whatever the conditions are outside,' we are 'always living in winter' and its 'harsh realities.' There is simply too much money available in a multi-trillion Dollar industry for the psychopathic overlords to do otherwise...
Thank you for this.
Sometimes I feel like I'm a yelling into a void, although less so in this space. As I continue to look into this pile of "settled science", things only get less settled for me.
Most people in my in-person life glaze over when I try to explain what I'm seeing...so this is mostly the place I flesh out my thoughts (although I'm getting better at reducing the sauce for the general population).
Here on substack, it's nice to swim around with people open to interrogating the premises on which our system has been built. But it's rare to hear direct observation from someone who participated in the machine and came out on the other side willing to talk about it with intellectual honesty.
There are several of you that are on this board and I appreciate you so much. I'm always prepared for the Big Smarties to come in and tell me I don't understand biology or chemistry or math or trial design or ELISA plates or MRI or cancer, etc, etc, etc...and it's nice to hear from those of you who have the chops. Thank you.
Much appreciated Sarah. I could not agree more. Thirty years through engineering, statistics, biochemistry, pharmaceutical factory building, biology, organized research - and I now know that I do not really know what I thought I knew!
The foundations are now as rocky as the Moon; the more I dig. It is so difficult to 'sift through the spaces' between concepts, phenomena, objects, experimental methods, clinical settings, data, findings, products and be sure of what one 'sees' or thinks one has. Intellectually honest research created more questions and provided fewer answers, when one was being intellectually honest. Discovering science became discovering honesty and deception.
For a person coming from a background of acdemic freedom to 'think about things' openly, this was sobering. Whether in industry or academia, it was all the same. To discover that 'it' had been like this for over 100 years was even more disheartening too - whether I was in the U.S., Europe; Asia or the Antipodes. Silos everywhere, endemic corruption and dishonesty too. Public and private science. And the 'machine' ony wants to print money or extract wealth from us.
Keep at it Sarah, whatever and however you divide 'front stage and back stage' between here and home. I simply approach life the way I was brought up: "tell the truth, treat others as you want to be treated, do not be a patsy and when you think you are being played, be skeptical, open to arguments, but stay vigilant."
So much of what we thought we have is illusion from a bunch of hucksters. Do not look at their hands, but ask yourself, "to where are they misdirecting my attention," and follow your instincts.
At the end of it all, I learned that we must stay human. I will not let a bunch of psychopaths take my humanity from me. It is reassuring that SS shows that people like your followers and you help each other to 'straighten out our thoughts' and to do respectfully and honestly. After a long day, it is a rewarding way to sign off...
I sincerely appreciate your erudite comments.
You're right, it does say "the isolates were recovered from different patients." My guess though is that, considering how these studies famously obfuscate, that means only "two" patients. If it was three (i.e., patients and not just samples), they'd definitely say so.
I read "Tonix Pharmaceuticals" as Toxic Pharmaceuticals lol. Probably more accurate my way 😆
"Tonix Pharmaceuticals" anagrams to 'pharmaceutical toxins' so yes, probably more accurate.
The craziest part of this recommendation is to wear white clothing. The tick that carries Lyme disease is a deer tick.
When I used to do pest control management I noticed that if I wore white socks in an area that had fleas they were attracted to the white. Black socks were way less problematic. I literally had a white sock on a string to toss into areas that dogs were just to see what the flea situation was.
The worst thing that people did was leave the crawl area open for the dogs to go cool off. Here in Ga I rarely saw this situation without a horrible flea infestation. In fact I used the white sock on a string to show the client that was reluctant to block the dogs from the crawl area how bad it really was. I simply tossed the sock under the house then slowly removed it by the string attached. Sometimes it would be absolutely shocking how bad it could get. I’ve had customers tell me that they opened it up so that the dogs could cool down. I reminded them that all dogs need is good water an open air shade spot, and they, and your electric bill will thank you.
Anyway white clothes definitely attracts blood parasites. Every woodland creature has a white belly. 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for posting 👍🇨🇦
Fascinating. I recall now seeing a programme on TV many years ago where different colour materials were put on the ground to which different insects were attracted.
I am not interested if this vaccine does not have SV40 cancer promoters or …. Hormone disruptors…heavy metals…. P53 blockers… toll like receptors blockers … and those extra helpful things that switch off immune systems and force people onto ventilators… it has to be deemed safe and effective and carry the indemnity against prosecution… only then will I trust it to wipe out all my enemies.
Climate change is "expanding the range of areas in which ticks can live"? Ticks already live throughout the US and into Canada. They're also found throughout Mexico, Central America, and South America, probably down to the southern latitudes that correspond to the northern limits of their range. I have to assume that last part because if I saw one more picture of a tick in a DDG Images map I was going to rinse my eyes with Clorox, so I stopped researching it. Anyway, outside of flies and cockroaches it's hard to imagine a more widely distributed animal than ticks. So where's this expansion going to take place?
Somebody needs to explain why something caused by bacteria, treatable with antibiotics, and preventable with Deep Woods Off needs a "vaccine" now. And they have to explain it without using the words "pharma" and "profits."
As a commentor asked in response to an Iran war discussion, "If petroleum use is reduced, will that help the climate change crisis"?
As your article reveals, lyme disease can neither be reliably diagnosed, nor can indirect evidence such as an ELISA identify said disease.
What you are battling is decades (centuries?) of false beliefs and assumptions as was told to the public using propaganda and misinformation that was easily perpetuated when information was all controlled in the pre-internet years.
Work such as yours is the antidote to such false beliefs and assumptions. Especially among younger readers who are more liable to question propaganda than we older folk who grew up hearing no truth.
As to the science, few scientific techniques have as many pitfalls as ELISAs. ELISA plates, protein binding, wash methods, blocking method used, quality of antibody, characterization of the antibody, quality of the conjugated-enzyme, plate detection algorithm used- all these are variables. Variables which have no possible way to determine if that variability has been overcome or not. And even if done properly, which is infrequent, the test itself is indirect evidence which is not even considered scientific confirmation. It's just a mess.
For instance, I have spent months developing a single ELISA to the point that it produced results that could be considered scientifically valid. But those results were only a starting point- secondary and tertiary assays were also developed in which the ELISA results were further tested as ELISA indirect evidence results are not considered as scientific confirmation.
I consistently appreciate your comments, David. Thank you. I find it incredibly refreshing to hear about your actual experience in the field, and learn so much when you weigh in.
I typically get a small amount of push back when I write about these topics, and today is no exception. It takes some personal restraint for me to refrain from engaging with comments/Notes that are clearly aimed at drawing me into an endless debate.
I came across your comment at the perfect time as it distracted me from a lazy, typical ploy … and I was reminded that engaging with people like you is a far better use of my time. Many thanks for always adding to conversation here. I appreciate you.
Thank you. A couple general comments on running scientific experiments. Most experiments involve combining clear liquids and then trying to determine what happened in that mixture. Second, in the pre-kit days (1980s and earlier) we used to mix our own solutions, so we had an understanding, at least, of what clear liquids we were combining, and, therefore had a better chance of understanding the intended purpose of each clear liquid. But, for the past 30 years, kits containing premixed solutions are used. So, as I explained to my students, one could either mix TE + NaOH/SDS + Na acetate as in the old days, or mix Solution A, Solution B, and Solution C, using kit components.
A couple anecdotes on running ELISAs. Plate choice, mixing in a well, and washing seem simple steps. But, when running my first ELISA, i spent 3 months unable to get consistent results. I mentioned my frustration to a colleague who had run ELISAs for 20 years at her previous job. She gave me a paper which had tested 40 some ELISA plates and determined that only 2 bound protein effectively. I purchased some of the recommend plates, and that made all the difference. But, understand, all the plates I had been using were supposedly high protien binding plates.
Another anecdote. I happened across an online video showing mixing efficiency in wells. Now, i had been using plate mixers to mix well contents for years, as I had been taught, assuming mixing was efficiently occurring. So, I tested this using a little dye in the well, and it turned out that the setting I had been using did nothing but swirl the contents around and around without mixing at all. Lesson learned.
I’ve long believed that Lyme disease is collective damage from some other source, primarily vaccines. Like you said though, it’s probably more messy. An amalgamation of sorts.
My 6 year old dog developed a rare cancer and died after getting a Lyme vaccine. The details include more complexity and evidence.
Thanks for the full recap. Having read Newby’s book a few years ago this was a great refresher course.
Hahahaha! Definitely snort laughed! Absolutely brilliant created art Sarah. And some most useful information to boot. ♥️
Many thanks 🙏😘
