Bartonellosis as Cause of Death After Red Blood Cell Unit Transfusion

Full article:  http://informahealthcare.com/doi/abs/10.3109/01913120902785567

Excerpt:

The authors present the case of a young man with aplastic anemia who went into shock and died after several red blood cell unit transfusions. Immunohematological studies did not show any abnormality and blood cultures from patients and blood bags were negative. The ultrastructural findings, allied with current scientific knowledge, permitted the diagnosis of Bartonella sp. infection. In face of this diagnosis, two possibilities should be considered: the first one is that the patient was already infected by the bacteria before the last RBC unit transfusion. The pathogen could be involved in aplastic anemia etiology and in the failure to recover hemoglobin levels, in spite of the transfusions. The second possibility is that the RBC unit was contaminated with a Bartonella sp., which would have led to a state of shock, causing the death of the patient.

Is Mercury Toxicity an Epidemic?

Linda’s comment:  Mercury is in everything….learn to read your labels…..high fructose corn syrup is in EVERYTHING and HFC is full of mercury.   I certainly believe that Mercury Toxicity is epidemic and for those with chronic illness and children are in trouble ingesting all this mercury.  I have been on the FIGHT protocol for over a year now and I am very pleased at how I feel.

I challenge all of those interested in reducing their heavy metal loads, to give the FIGHT program a 3 month try.  You might be surprised at how you feel.  We must constantly be reducing our total body burden of pathogens and toxins and this lifelong daily detox program is the way to go.

Is Mercury Toxicity an Epidemic?

Conventional medicine has dismissed mercury toxicity as a clinical concern except in cases of obvious poisoning. This is due to the poor correlation between the various measures of mercury body load and clinical symptoms. It is also the reason the dental community has in the past so consistently denied that amalgam fillings are a health risk. (Although called “silver” fillings, they are actually about 55 percent mercury.) However, the integrative medicine community has for decades believed that chronic low-level mercury exposure is the root cause of many chronic diseases ranging from autism to heart disease to “brain fog.” Continued
