Linda’s comments:  How many times over your lifetime have you been scratched by your cats?  Cat fleas transmit Bartonella…..We must all learn to be very very careful….

Excerpt:

 Bartonella infection is common among domestic cats, but the role
of Bartonella species as feline pathogens requires further study.
Most Bartonella species that infect cats are zoonotic. Cats are
the mammalian reservoir and vector for Bartonella henselae, an
important zoonotic agent. Cat fleas transmit Bartonella among
cats, and cats with fleas are an important source of human B
henselae infections.

The fact that the meeting happened at all cascaded shock waves
through the vaccine promotional community. Why? Because the reality
of this meeting, and where the vaccine situation is heading, shows
that the carefully contrived world of vaccine promotion is crumbling
– and, hopefully, it will never recover.

Linda’s comments: Based on phylogenetic analysis, the ankA gene was more discriminating than the 16S rRNA gene in distinguishing the majority of European and American strains of A. phagocytophilum infecting people and animals. Three isolates of A. phagocytophilum, 1 from Spain (cow) and 2 from Norway (sheep and deer), were external to the European and American clades.  Our poor dogs in France Anaplasmosis in two dogs in France and molecular and phylogenetic characterization of Anaplasma phagocytophilum

Linda’s comment:  B. burgdorferi infection of Nod2 deficient mice resulted in increased rather than decreased arthritis and carditis compared to control mice. They are saying a model where Nod2 has an enhancing role in activating inflammation in early infection, but moderates inflammation after prolonged exposure to the organism through induction of tolerance.  I suffered from Lyme Carditis, but thanks to Gemmotherapy they were able to kill the Lyme spirochetes and parasites and clear it up….it is not a fun thing to do through.  What is scary and sad is Cardiologists don’t have a clue when a patient shows up in ER with chest pains…

MENGXI VILLAGE, China — On a chilly evening early last month, a mob of more than 200 people gathered in this tiny eastern China village at the entrance to the Zhejiang Haijiu Battery Factory, a maker of lead-acid batteries for motorcycles and electric bikes. They shouldered through an outer brick wall, swept into the factory office and, in an outpouring of pure fury, smashed the cabinets, desks and computers inside.

Linda’s comments:  These types of stories make me mad as hell….This poor woman suffered unnecessarily thanks to IDSA and the medical boards….This statement along >>>>“He wouldn’t give me a test for it,” she said. “He said my symptoms weren’t Lyme.”<<<<is criminal in my book, but we have the CDC, IDSA and the medical boards to thank for this kind of thinking from doctors….THIS MUST STOP…WE MUST CONTINUE TO FIGHT THIS MENTALITITY….

Excerpt:

Kathryn Puvogel never saw the tick that infected her, but she felt the effects of its bite long afterward — losing her job, most of her health and much of what she knew of as her life.

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

This on-line Discover magazine offers important insight into why there is such a wide range of potential manifestations of Lyme disease! This is important to be aware of since it should help clear up why some many “experts” on Lyme have such widely divergent views on the potential for chronic Lyme to have such varied presentations.

Now that we have the new epidemic of XMRV to deal with, which of course will have all the same controversy that we have had about Lyme, my point is very simple…….

WHO IN THE WORLD DOES NOT HAVE SOME CHRONIC INFECTION, as PART OF THE TOTAL cause of their dis-ease?

If we one day have the same freedom that doctors in Russia and Germany enjoy, then instead of wasting time and money chasing down the exact name of one or more pathogens, and then labeling that pathogen as the cause of the patients presenting clinical picture, we can one day come to our senses and say: OK, you are not functioning well.

I have this safe treatment that has been around for over 50 years and widely used that really lowers the total body burden of all pathogens. So let’s use this OZONE/UVB, as one part of your approach to improving your overall condition, and then address the rest of the issues that my FIGHT program outlines. All of which issues will be applicable to anyone with any degree of disease today, whatever label we put on the process!

Excerpt:

Lyme disease, the most prevalent tickborne infection in the United States, can vary greatly from one person to the next. The hallmark is said to be a bull’s-eye rash, yet the rash can take other shapes or not appear at all. Some patients suffer nerve damage, others heart block or swollen joints. Almost 20 percent report a flu-like condition marked by myalgia, arthralgia, and fatigue. Intensity veers wildly too: In one patient symptoms may be barely discernible; in another so incapacitating that life is derailed.

Linda’s comments:  Babesiosis as a cause of Fever in patients undergoing a splenectomy.  After reading this article I find it amazing that Wormser would admit there is such thing as Babesiosis…Could he mean a co-infection of Lyme….

Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21375849

Excerpt:

Babesiosis is an emerging infection most commonly acquired from a tick
bite. We describe three hospitalized patients with fever attributable to
babesiosis after a splenectomy. Splenectomy was done because of splenic
enlargement due to unsuspected babesia infection in one patient and
because of splenic perforation due to babesiosis in a second patient.
