The wonderful state of Florida ended a fine doctor’s medical career because infection doctors with worthless “expertise” in infections I have 12+ top texts on, with a 1,300-page Bartonella tome, told the state medical board the ridiculous claim that it is very easy to diagnose Bartonella, and to specifically visualize it in blood. These frauds

There Are Actually 23 Species In Humans Of Varying Percentages Basic Bartonella sites and “starter” doctors report 3, 10, or 14 species. As far back as 2007, I published that there were 9 in humans. In 2025/2026 we posted the 23 species. B. bacilliformis B. bovis B. elizabethae B. grahamii B. henselae B. koehlerae B.

Dr. Breitschwerdt taught that after treatment, negative antibodies can create a “rebirth of Bartonella antibodies.” He may mean that a past antibody level which dropped to negative increases with treatment, or perhaps that antibodies become positive after treatment. Our Detection Trick For Bartonella For 20 years, we have pretreated for possible Bartonella, and this stealth bacteria often

Bartonella species are primarily transmitted to humans through the bites of certain insects. Here are the main insects that can transmit Bartonella: Fleas: Bartonella henselae is often transmitted by fleas, particularly the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis). Ticks: Several species of ticks, including the western black-legged tick (Ixodes pacificus) and the lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum),

Bartonella is not typically diagnosed by smear of blood drops. Bartonella infections, such as those caused by Bartonella henselae (responsible for cat scratch fever) or Bartonella bacilliformis, are not typically diagnosed using a blood smear. Instead, diagnosis is more commonly achieved through serological tests, PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests, or culture methods. Blood smears can
