Lyme disease, caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium, is not an ideal bioweapon due to its low mortality rate and potential for long-onset serious illness. Experts believe that Lyme disease would make a “terrible bioweapon” due to its slow transmission and low mortality rate. The United States has exported conspiracy theories about Lyme disease to many countries, including Canada, UK, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, and Turkey. Thousands of people have been affected by these theories.
A conspiracy theory spread like a fever: researchers at Plum Island engineered a new sickness, one that now afflicts more than 30,000 Americans per year. The U.S. House of Representatives voted to compel the Department of Defense to disclose if it ever used ticks as part of a biological weapons program. One of the scientists who has been studying Lyme since 1985, Sam Telford, wrote a compelling piece in The Washington Post.
Some activists portray Lyme disease as an insidious, ubiquitous, difficult to diagnose, and sometimes deadly disease. Some tick-spread bacteria could be weaponized, but this would be a useless choice. Filmmaker and book author Kris Newby dives into the secretive federal research that may have made Lyme disease such a problem in the United States.
The spread of Lyme could be attributable to a classified, decades-old bioweapons program or are ticks just as good for treating other tick-borne pathogens. In early 2013, a doctor tested positive for Lyme disease, a tick-borne infection that afflicts more people than Lyme disease.
📹 The Truth About Lyme Disease Testing What You Need to Know
Uh it’s really difficult because we don’t have a great test for Lyme disease at this point and I say that with um all the sincerity I have …
📹 A Warning In The Last Stages Of Lyme Disease
YOU CAN DEFEAT LYME! – — I contracted Lyme in 2015 and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. I couldn’t walk, couldn’t lift my arm, couldn’t sleep and I was in severe pain 24 hours a day. Lyme is horrendous. After a few weeks in hospital the doctor’s told me that they couldn’t do anything. What saved me was Buhner’s protocol. I read his book and then followed his protocol to the letter. I also devoured books on body chemistry and how the immune system works. When I told the doctors I was going to try and heal myself using herbs and a special diet they just laughed. Yeah well what else was I supposed to do? It was a very slow process because first you have to reboot your immune system and second you have to fight the bacteria of which actually hides from your immune system – known as ‘pathogenic bacteria’. What is different about the Lyme bacteria to other bacteria is that they eat the magnesium in your body whereas most bacteria eat iron. Without magnesium your muscles just can’t work. Most antibiotics are made to protect the iron in your body but not the magnesium – that is why normal antibiotics fail against Lyme (if you wait too long). Using Buhner’s protocol I gradually began to improve. I won’t lie, it was the fight of my life and took about one year to fully recover. Only when all the bacteria was gone could I then begin to build up my muscles again. Today I play golf and am an 8 handicap. Anyone who has Lyme – don’t give up – your body can kill it. It takes a special diet, special herbs and sheer will power.
I contracted neuro Lyme from a mosquito bite here in south Texas 13 years ago. I went to the best neurologist and he shouted “there is no such thing as Lyme disease “. He prescribed nothing for my tonic clinic seizures and ran an MRI anyway. Thousands of dollars later, they told me I had a lesion in my brain. I tested highly positive on tests from IGENEX in California. I’m still sick and in the last stages also. 💚 it ain’t over until it’s over and to anyone with Lyme: You’re a warrior and God sees and knows about all of the flagrant injustices done unto us. One day we will reign with Christ Jesus! 🙏☦️💚🙏☦️💚
I have Lyme Disease for the second time. Living in the south the idiot doctors say we don’t have Lyme here, yet I know many people here that have it. First time it took me 2 years to get diagnosed. I had to travel out of state for proper treatment. I think the idiot doctors that ignore our symptoms should be prosecuted. It’s criminal to allow your patients to suffer. How do they even get a medical degree? I’m no scientist, but I was able to research and figure out that I had Lyme. The government knows why so many people are sick; but they are owned by the pharmaceutical companies. So basically it’s a no win for those of us that have to live years or decades sick.
Just attended a relatives funeral. We thought he had lead poisoning from working in print factories many years ago, as he had brain lesions and lots of physical / mental associated issues. Turns out they found out he still was infected with lyme disease (apparently he had it about 30/35+ years ago and it never fully got treated). So all this time the disease has just been eating away at him without him ever knowing what it was… so sad.
In Australia our government refuses to acknowledge it’s existence here. Yet i was bitten by a large tick aged 3. Then growing up going to school i had major sensitivity to light (had to wear dark glasses to get to school) Headaches/migraines, chronic fatigue, then about aged 6 i was temporarily paralyzed the hospital tested for meningitis and all sorts of things and a week later i could walk again and was sent home with no diagnosis. Through my teenage years i still suffered fatigue, headaches/migraines (so bad i nearly had to go to hospital) and sleeping for 12-15 hrs still feeling fatigued. Then once into 20’s the body aches and pains started. They say ”Fibromyalgia” ”Depression” ”Arthritis” ”Lupus” etc etc. You can’t get tested for it here it’s crazy! Just thought i’d share what it’s like having all the symptoms and living in Australia. People have sent their blood to the U.S and came back pos+ for Lyme disease so go figure.
Thank you for sharing this. Lyme disease can also be spread from rat fleas. My city reduced trash pickup and started soup kitchens in residential areas. None of the rat poisons work anymore. The rat population exploded and 3 pest control companies could not catch a single one. The damage to my home was extensive and then I noticed bites. Now I am very sick.
I battle chronic Lyme aka late stage as well. I have had to stop treatment because of not being able to afford it. Plus, I have a rare case of it and my body is rare because of never developing immunoglobulin. I’ve to take 90 billion probiotics daily to try to build immunoglobulin. But, haven’t yet. The treatment couldn’t help me. My body declined all of the different oral antibiotics. I will say that I learned that even if you retake the Lyme disease test you’ll still have less then 50% for it to detect. The bulls eye rash is actually lower. It’s about 40% for people to get it. Always go to a doctor who knows about Lyme right when you get bit or a little after. People assume it takes up to two to three days to catch Lyme. But, that’s not always true. You can catch it as soon as you are bit by an infected tick. Because it already goes into your blood stream. Do not use tweezers to remove a tick. It can squeeze the stomach contents in your blood stream. You can get a tick remover anywhere they sell hunting supplies. To protect yourself always cover up, put on bug spray with deet on your skin and clothes, tuck pants into shoes. You also can get Lyme from these insects as well. Red ants, spiders, fleas, mosquitoes, and so on. You don’t just get Lyme there are co infections also. Lyme has up to 300+ different co infections. I have learned all of this and more from an llmd who treats thousands of people and is a diplomat for Lyme disease.
After seriously suffering for the last 8+ years I just found out I have chronic Lyme. I saw nearly every specialist you can think of trying to find what was wrong with me before finally figuring out on my own, by chance, It must be Lyme. Bloodwork from normal doctor gave false negative. Bloodwork from LLMD came back positive the clinical indications suggest late stage Neuro Lyme. Currently treating with antibiotics and supplements. Hoping for improvement and remission but the delayed diagnosis will make that a challenge. Got pretty bad, I was basically bedridden for the last three months before solving the puzzle and seeking proper care. Pretty sure I wouldn’t have made it another three months. 🙏🙏🙏
I was so sick my body hurt and I could not walk the doctor said that the tests were all normal and I didn’t have rheumatoid arthritis or lupus or any other disease the doctors also told me I didn’t have insurance so they did all they could for me I finally got approved for Medicaid and went to my local doctor and the last thing he said to me before he walked out the door was I’m going to test you for Lyme disease I have been dealing with this pain for four months and didn’t know what to do I felt like I was losing my mind stressed out in pain and could take all the medicine and nothing would work finally he called me and told me I tested positive for Lyme disease he took me off of the rheumatoid arthritis medicine and put me on 28 days of anabiotic’s I still have the pain because there’s nothing that I can take that helps the pain I cry at night in so much pain and no one understands when I try to explain to them how bad I’m hurting all I can tell them isThat it feels like somebody dropped me off of the tallest building and I hit the ground it just hurts so bad I’m tired of feeling sick I’m tired of feeling the pain I’m tired of depending on my 16-year-old to take care of me I can’t do anything I don’t feel normal anymore anyone who thinks that this is not Real it is so real.
In the article, the reporter stated, experts say if you are feeling ill, get a second opinion. I went to numerous doctors for nine years. It’s not a medical profession anymore. It’s a medical industry. It’s just a big money machine. I found one doctor in December of 2015 who cared enough to spend the time to find out what was wrong with me. He is the only one I have any regard for or trust in. The rest of them could have cared less. They just want to throw pills out a problem. It has now been 18 years and I’m on the tail end of life’s journey. The Lyme disease is winning, and like this unfortunate lady, it’s just a matter of time as everyday gets a little worse. I would like to thank my government for making and out of carelessness, releasing this biological weapon. Funny thing is, usually if they create a biological weapon, they create an antidote for it. Of course, had they come forth with the antidote back in the 70’s when most of Lyme, Connecticut was getting sick, they probably could have stopped it, but then they would have to have admitted they created it and took responsibility for it. It’s sad when you can’t trust your government to protect their own people, which is their main job. Just look at the border disaster mess and then they look in the camera and lie right to our faces like we are idiots.
I had a POSITIVE western blog (test for Lyme) in 1991, given 28 days of doxycycline and dismissed. I’m still sick in 2019. Ticks carry multiple infections and there are no CDC approved tests for any of them. Now my PCP refuses to believe I have vector borne infections and I can’t afford the high priced Lyme literate docs so I’m stuck. As for the advice to check yourself for ticks, wear certain clothing, apply poisons to keep ticks from biting, that’s all totally false and ridiculous. Most people dont even know they’ve been bitten, in part because the tick/ticks can be this size: . That’s right. Try finding a tick that size on you or someone else. Good luck. You’re going to need it.
It doesn’t make sense that so much effort is put into warnings about tick bites and measures you should take to protect yourself. These warnings indicate a VERY SERIOUS disease can arise from just one bite from an infected tick. So, if it is so serious, why is there so little help treating people with Lyme Disease? Most doctors don’t want to be associated with the diagnosis or treatment of LD. Those that will treat it shield their names on highly protected, and basically unavailable, specialized lists. It is a devastating illness and continues to only get worse as time progresses. Most LD patients report that insurance does not cover testing or treatment. I guess that doesn’t matter anyway since there is such little medical help available for those suffering from this horrific illness.
My 20 years of sickness psoriatic arthritis pain fatigue and suffering could all be from a tick bite Lyme disease. I’m so disappointed at all the rheumatologist and dermatologist and GI doctor and even my general practice doctors who never suggested a Lyme disease test, It was a nurse practitioner who ran the test, I’m waiting to hear back now. I pray I can have quality of life again.
I have an elderly neighbor across the hall from me that suffers from Lyme disease. I don’t know all the details but her apartment is BARE! If you didn’t know better you would think it was just staged for renting. She is very pale and very weak. The first time I saw her place I thought it was a religous thing. There is literally nothing on the walls, and all she has is a bed and a nightstand.
Lyme was positively identified in NV for the first time 30 yrs ago (tick was removed from patient & tested) in my county. Some NV docs still tell patients it’s not in NV. 2 ladies on my street have died…misdiagnosed, I believe. Watched these ladies progress through the same symptoms I would later experience yet their diagnoses were MS or unknown. I was fortunate to see a doc who had just attended a Lyme seminar & diagnosed me correctly. I know 2 others in town who have been stamped “MS.” Tried to get them to have a PCR test for Lyme but their docs talked them out of it. Just cRaZy! What are MS patients treated with? Steroids. Turning off the immune system is the last thing someone with a bacterial infection needs.
I’m having multiple symptoms. I tested positive on my 23 and 41 last year. I had been bitten by a tick 25 years ago. I woke up with flu like symptoms, a headache, and was dizzy. I’ve had symptoms slowly over the years, then in my thirties just like a blast of terrible ones all at once, and I also have days I can’t walk or even hold my head up. I’ve been tested for everything else, and just waffed off from doctors when I asked about Lyme.
I very nearly couldn’t walk just 2 months after my first tick bite. Thanks to all of the awareness these days, I was able to self diagnose and go to a cheap clinic for doxy. The swelling immediately subsided but the knee pain lingers months later. Forget the last stages, even the early stages are brutal.
I’ve had Lyme disease for 35 years. It took 27 years to get diagnosed even with the bull’s eye rash. It attacked my jaw joint and mandible. I’ve had 3 major jaw surgeries. One was a 9 hr surgery with 2 surgeon’s. They had to totally reconstruct my jaw joint and mandible. My mouth was wired shut for 3 and a half months. I am now in late stage.
Seriously… hard to diagnose? I found borrelia on my first attempt with a microscope, when I examined my friend’s blood who had been experiencing symptoms of Lyme disease for over 15 years. The symptoms matched perfectly, but no doctor had ever examined the blood under a microscopy in all those years!
hello morgellons are in our environment as well as in medical equipment intended for patients. I am type 1 diabetic with continuous glucose sensors I noticed by chance after the installation of the hard sensor the skin after 30 to 45 minutes morgellons came out all around the blood glucose sensors. I am looking for an independent laboratory to analyze the sensors thank you for those who can help me
Lyme disease was man made and it’s highly controversial. I had lymes and let me tell you, it was the absolute worst headaches and muscle pains in my life. My left side also went paralyzed. The funny thing is that I knew I had it and I told my parents but they pestered me,”web md is a lie it will tell you that you have cancer for everything!” They didn’t bring me to a doctor until I showed them I couldn’t move my face lol go figure.
In 1978 I went to Indiana from Washington State. I was 16 years old. In two weeks, about 41 ticks were removed from me. I started getting sick after that. Over the years, I’ve suffered from severe headaches, muscle pain, bone pain, neck muscle pain, heart problems, numbness in my toes, memory problems, and more. Doctors never tested me for Lyme disease over the years. Doctors have done tests for bone cancer because the pain is so bad. A couple of weeks ago, I asked a doctor to do the test, and it came back positive for Lyme. The other day, I got a call from the infectious disease office at the regional health department with the news. I’m 61 one years old now, and there are days that I can’t even get out of bed because I’m so sick and the pain is so bad.
Wow, I see I responded on this 4 years ago lol. Well I have more than just Lyme as do most people who were bitten by an infected tick. After all these years, I finally got my blood work back from a Lyme specialist which I had to pay out of pocket for. I also have lovely multiple co infections such as Babesia, and Bartonella, and a whole bunch of other things to add to that. Isn’t it crazy?! I’ve had this disease so long, had many health problems over the years, but it didn’t become it’s worst until after I had my second child. Now my illness has become full blown. The Babesia is the worst, because I get that damn air hunger, and heart beating irregular moments. I hate the nuero Lyme stuff too. I have had burning on my skin before but last week, all the back of my thigh burned so bad, it felt like someone lit a match on my skin! This disease is a horrible nightmare, and I’m one of the luckier ones, because there are those who are completely bed ridden from this disease. I can at least still function. I did however ended up having to give up my work, because my illness either makes me fatigued to the point of where I can barely hold my eyes open during times when one should be fully awake, and the most minimal amount I do makes me so physically exhausted, but thank God I can still get out of bed, and just have to pace myself each day. One must just keep fighting, even when our bodies feel like they don’t want to.
I was just diagnosed with lyne disease 2 days ago. I have bells palsey, horrible joint pain and stiffness, I was sick asf with what I thought was the flu or covid, which was neg. I developed a uti. It was so horrible. I started to have memory fogging which I still suffer from but when ilthe bells palsy started i went to er because i was scared FINALLY tested for lymes. And low and behold…. it came back positive. Dr is doing another test but I was told I am in the late stage of lymes. This isn’t talked about enuff I feel.
Imagine what it’s like when it happens to a 6yr old. This is what it’s like for a grown person when they get bit and get infected, but for children it can be worse I got bit and it wasn’t caught until way to late because it qas on the back of my knee and I qas in and out of shriners children’s hospital for tests and tests and big horse pills and the doctors told my parents when I was 6, that if they wanted me to play sports they better doing it soon because I won’t be able to when I grow up. And now I’m in braces and using a cane and having speech issues. The first symptoms weren’t the worst, they were horrible for my 6yr old self to go through but I’d go through them again if it meant I wouldn’t have it afterwards.
So, so, so, so sorry! How horribly awful and disastrous. Get diagnosed with Lupus, then treated with prednisone. Of course, suppressing your immune system will only make you much more ill. Then if they add aspirin to your regimen (NSAID that will ruin your gut). Did you ever get IV ABX or even treatment with antimicrobial herbs. I had “ulcerative colitis” when I was quite young. the prenisone killed my immune system. I think even antimicrobial herbs would have aided healing. Took 30 years to get diagnosed with Lyme. So sick and passed it to at least 2 of my children.
I dont know which comment to reply to first, After almost 2yrs of acute symptoms, physically bed ridden and psychologically disassociated, i remained a medical mystery until psychiatric dr saw what the gallons of blood the ivy league medcal pros did not. i was 12 comig to terms with mortality and whether or not any of tis was actually real at all. I am 40 now and since then had another 3yr bout a flare up of sorts exactly ten years later during my senior year at college. I must admit, as horrific all of these stories about us indeed are, it is an enormous relief that other human beings can actually comprehemd this lifelong illness. i am not comforted because im not alone, just that this disease cannot be described in conventional language. I was searching for ore info in the lab in which our own government created our kryptonite located on plum island. apparently it was not meant to be used speifically for bio warefare, but to test arious methods of carrying a disease by studying ow it gets transfered from specific animals. Birds in pariicular. Plum Island is the site, a lab responsible for many other dreadful concoctions. i spent a portion of my childhood very close to Lyme connecticut, outdoors every day.
Wait a minute! She is not the creator of the “7 LYME FACTS” article. I am. The TicTac box was in my house and that is MY TICK in my ankle in the picture, and I still have the pictures of it from the date it happened. I also have my old hard drive with you original version when I first created it in 2011. It doesn’t matter though. She didn’t even mention that it’s the 7 Lyme Facts that article that I made. It doesn’t matter much to me though as long as people see it since it is NOT monetized anywhere anyway.
I have got Lyme Disease. I was not able to tell anyone the type of pain that I suffered…until I broke my ankle on the weight bearing bone.. I walked on that ankle without having it casted. It was no different than any other pain throughout my body that I experience 24/7/365 without relief. I pray for my death everyday, many times per day. I have had this for over Thirty Years and I am just so tired. Overdosing on Insulin seems to be the best alternative. (I am not diabetic.)
i am a bit worried for myself atm. i recently got some type of bite on my leg a few days ago.thought the bite does not seem to show the same signs of a tick bite with lyme disease it’s not going away. i was at my doctors and am taking antibiotics and steroids now .but i have diabetes and nerve damage so how can i tell if something hurts because of the nerve damage or something else? like i said.i’m damn worried…
The tick bite is only the stress trigger for Lyme which I have been healing from since 2007. The cause of Lyme which is only a tag name for a group pf symptoms is actually caused by prior infection with EBV and Zoster virus feeding off of high levels of heavy metals in the system. Medical Medium protocol got me out of the wheelchair. Anything can be a stress trigger.
Hey Ron, can I give you some information about Morgellon’s disease, what they’re missing? We’re told there’s nothing that makes the fibers, the lesions, the filaments, I know what does. I’ll bet my life that I can give you things that you can confirm yourself. If ya want me to give you what it is, I can show you. There’s important things they’re missing, and I’m ready to blow this up! Yes Morgellon’s diesease is real, and I know what’s causing it! I can show you how it links to other diseases also. Diseases where they give the disease a name when you start researching the same things keep showing up. It’s not a coincidence either. I’ve tried giving it to the Morgellon’s foundation and I was told there’s nothing that makes this stuff. That’s a lie, when you start talking to others, there’s certain things, we whom have Morgellon’s experience. Do you also get the sand specks like everyone gets? Let me know if ya do, I’ll ask you about other things, and won’t ask for anything of you, other than spread it out to everyone whom has it! I bet I can blow your mind. Do you have any eye issues? Please don’t give them to me. I’d like to tell you about what I’ve discovered and how I’ve learned sooooooooo much!
Does hypoxic therapy works for treating Lyme Disease?hand-pink-wavingface-blue-smilingface-red-droopy-eyesface-purple-crying Has anyone experienced or knows if hypoxic therapy is an effective supportive exercise a for Chronic Lime disease?
