IDSA knows that chronic Lyme exists

The IDSA is aware that chronic Lyme exists. We know this because
members of the 2000 and 2006 Lyme disease guideline panels wrote, in
research articles and patents, that chronic Lyme exists.

Evidence about the existence of chronic Lyme borreliosis has increased
since the 2006 LD guidelines were published.

Scientists in California recently reported that not only can Bb persist
in mice despite treatment with ceftriaxone, but the Borrelia can also
infect other ticks and mice. (1) This study buttresses previous
studies that showed that Borrelia can persist in mice (2, 3), dogs (4,
5, 6), and ponies (7).

Studies have also shown that Bb can persist despite antibiotic
treatment in the following human cells, tissues, organs, and body
fluids:

2006, is an author of this study)

Abstract:

Bartonella vinsonii subsp. berkhoffii, Bartonella henselae or DNA of both organisms was amplified and sequenced from blood, enrichment blood cultures or autopsy tissues from four family members. Historical and microbiological results support perinatal transmission of Bartonella species in this family.

Is lead more important that cholesterol levels? This research shows that higher bone lead leads to a six-fold increase in heart attacks.

*********They had to spend thousands perhaps, even more to find that Birds are playing an important role in the spread of Lyme Disease??  What???   Are you telling me that birds stop at each border and request the right to fly over your state??  What a big waste of money….why doesn’t Yale and the Infectious Disease docs and other specialists at Yale, who say there is NO chronic Lyme, spend money finding a cure for Lyme disease instead of finding out what we patient’s already know.  Give me a break!!

*********It is time that patient’s start standing up and pushing back….sitting back and doing nothing is getting us no where.

*********We need to stop “fearing” city hall, when we can be city hall in these Lyme wars.

*********Just remember folks, Lyme isn’t just carried by ticks….look to birds, rodents, mice, we need to understand that it is up to us Lymie’s to take a stand.

Article Excerpt:

New Haven, Conn. – The range of Lyme disease is spreading in North America and it appears that birds play a significant role by transporting the Lyme disease bacterium over long distances, a new study by the Yale School of Public Health has found. The study appears online in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.

Researchers analyzed published records and concluded that at least 70 species of North American birds are susceptible to infection by black-legged ticks (Ixodes scapularis), the principal vector of the Lyme disease bacterium (Borrelia burgdorferi). The evidence also suggests that these bird species are dispersing infected ticks into areas that had previously been free of the disease, such as Canada.

Lyme disease bacterium is usually associated with small mammals such as mice and squirrels. Immature ticks (in the larval and nymphal stages) become infected with the bacterium when they feed on these mammals. During subsequent blood meals, an infected tick transmits the infection to other hosts, including humans. White-tailed deer-while playing an important role in maintaining and spreading tick populations-are a biological dead end for the bacterium because its blood is immune to infection.

Birds, however, are not immune and numerous species get infected and are capable of transmitting the pathogen onto ticks, the researchers found. What remains to be seen is whether the B. burgdorferi strains that can infect birds can also cause disease in humans. If so, the role of birds in the epidemiology of Lyme disease could be profound.

 The Lyme borreliosis agent Borrelia burgdorferi and the relapsing fever group
species Borrelia miyamotoi co-occur in the United States. We used
species-specific, quantitative polymerase chain reaction to study both species
in the blood and skin of Peromyscus leucopus mice and host-seeking Ixodes
scapularis nymphs at a Connecticut site. Bacteremias with B. burgdorferi or B.
miyamotoi were most prevalent during periods of greatest activity for nymphs or
larvae, respectively. Continued

Linda’s comments:  “Safe” lead levels?????  What is that suppose to mean???  In my opinion there is NO safe lead levels., as I want it GONE from my body.   I focus daily on a lifelong detox program.  I had 14 amalgams removed and I will be at this for several years to come.  However, it is working and I’m so very happy to have learned the importance and how to do a lifelong detox protocol.   The FIGHT protocol ROCKS and the 1 1/2 years I have been on it is the best thing I ever did.  Lyme patients have panic attacks, but Lyme patients are also full of serious toxins, namely lead/mercury.  I have never and don’t intend to take pharmaceuticals  to remove the unwanted and toxic chemicals in my body.  You can listen to the Webinar on FIGHT at www.gordonresearch.com.  It is excellent and you can learn a lot…
 
At least this article talks about reducing our environmental exposures.  We can work hard at doing that, which I do daily, but with the “industry”, like Monsanto who continue to dump deadly toxins into our gardens, food and homes.  It is time THE CONSUMER, JUST SAYS NO MORE and stop buying these toxic chemicals.  Until the consumers walk up and put their foot down, the Monsanto’s of the world will continue to make our bodies a toxic dump. 
 
The one I worry about is pregnant mothers.  The baby they are carrying is a toxic dump from all the bad things the mom is exposed to and eats.  These babies don’t have a chance in hell.  They will be born with a body FULL OF TOXINS….Sad Sad thing…
 
You want to get rid of unwanted WEEDS.  Simple solution, take one gallon of Heinz WHITE Vinegar, pour in a cup of Morton’s salt, and one tablespoon of Dawn dishwasher detergent….Pour over the weeds and or spray the weeds you want dead.  It works and it is NON-TOXIC, using NO CHEMICALS.  So for approximately $3.00 dollars you can make the safest non-chemical WEED KILLER…..Shssssssssss  don’t tell Monsanto or they might come and get me….ROFL…..
 
Folks you can very easily began cleaning up your homes, offices and diets from chemicals, and begin a program like FIGHT.  Save your own lives, children’s lives and our earth.

PS…..I have tried hundreds of detox techniques over the years (I’m 65 yrs old) but I have found that the products in my lifelong daily detox program works for me.  I feel blessed daily for this…

December 9, 2009 — Young adults with higher blood lead levels are more likely to have major depressive disorder (MDD) or panic disorder, even if they have exposure to lead levels generally considered safe, new research suggests. Continued

NOTHING is rare these days!!  If Hepatitis, parasites, Lyme, can be passed on why do they find it so hard to believe that this amoeba can be passed on????  There are liver recipients who get a new liver ONLY to find it is infected with Hepatitis, Lyme and parasites!!  If the health departments will not classify Lyme as an STD, how can we expect them test for parasites.  Yes, I agree there are many parasites that we humans can and DO pass on to each other….Another reason to make sure you are on a life-long detox, so you are aggressively fighting these “rare” issues and disease.  If it is true and you can get the infection by breathing it in, then it is a MUST that we use ACS200ppm.

JACKSON, Miss. – An extremely rare infection has been passed from an organ donor to at least one recipient in what is thought to be the first human-to-human transfer of the amoeba, medical officials said Friday. Four people in three states received organs from a patient who died at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in November after suffering from neurological problems, said Dave Daigle, a spokesman for the Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention.

Findings from a November 9, 2009, Environmental Health News report have revealed that many varieties of balsamic vinegar contain trace amounts of lead that are contributing to neurological and other damage in both children and adults. Ingestion of a single tablespoon of vinegar with the highest tested levels of lead was found to potentially raise a child’s blood lead level by 30% while two tablespoons a day would raise it by 55%.

Clinical practice guidelines are increasing in number. Unfortunately,
when scientific evidence is uncertain, limited, or evolving, as is often
the case, conflict often arises between guideline committees and
practicing physicians, who bear the direct responsibility for the care of
individual patients. The 2006 Infectious Diseases Society of America
guidelines for Lyme disease, which have limited scientific support,
could, if implemented, limit the clinical discretion of treating physicians
and the treatment options available to patients

Introduction

Clinical practice guidelines are now ubiquitous throughout the
United States. The National Guidelines Clearing House, under the
category “diseases,” currently lists 2,126 separate guidelines on its
web site. Clinical guidelines are intended to assist physicians in
patient care by clearly communicating the results of the guideline
committees’ evaluation of available therapeutic options. However,
the processes by which individual guidelines are constructed may be
less clear, leading to disagreements between the issuing committee
and the physicians who treat patients-physicians who may well be
as experienced and knowledgeable as the guideline committee. Continued
