1. Bartonella is carried by 12 biting insects and transmitted through pet bites and scratches. Lyme is only carried by a tick.
2. Doctors trained before 1990 never learned about the Bartonella found in new advanced tests
3. Examination of burial mounds, blood donors, healthy children, and adults in Europe and Rio De Janeiro finds the frequency to be 17—36% or about 20% of the population. These were healthy people. They looked for 1-2 species, not 23, with advanced technology available this year.
4. Large commercial labs currently only look for 1-2 species in humans. There are 23 species in humans.
5. Bartonella is best killed with at least three antibiotics and a biofilm essential oil or peptide, or herb. Other types of treatment exist.
6. Bartonella is in red blood cells, on their outer edge, in the blood fluid, and in every potential vessel of the 60,000 miles in humans. Lyme is only in the tissue.
7. Bartonella research is a small fraction of Lyme research, which leads one to think about Lyme over Bartonella.
8. It causes TNF-a to drop and IL-10 to rise—hiding it. Its ability to hide is comparable to 100 mg of prednisone immediately surrounding the bacterial cell.
