Author of Seven Babesia Textbooks Mentions First 2006 Book
When I discovered my family had fallen into the simple late 1990's and early 2000's notion of "Lyme disease only" thinking, as if biting insects are sterile except for one infection, we found we all had Babesia, not merely Lyme disease. I was surprised. I never heard of this infection in medical school. So we invested over a million dollars and years to write the world's first definitive physician education book. It is still used worldwide and offers fair-quality translations in many languages for free. It started with interviews with those in high-risk areas for Babesia, including top physicians who had already been treating it in the 1980s. Their generous time sharing every treatment was helpful, and my trivial thanks were keeping their ideas labelled in the text. And then I worked diligently to build on their primary innovative practices. All are exceptional physicians—all new treatment "discoveries" we discussed in 2006. Most physician errors are addressed in this 2006 textbook. Most doctors who have even heard the word "Babesia" have not read this book or others. At most, like all busy physicians, look for easy-to-understand treatment lists or clear guidelines. I do the same at times.
THE ROUTINE TICKS ONLY CARRY LYME APPROACH. AND TEST ONLY FOR LYME DISEASE
Sample Tick-Borne Infections (Carried by Ticks):
Diseases transmitted by ticks (CDC.gov)
In the United States, some ticks carry pathogens that can cause human disease, including:
- Anaplasmosis
- Babesiosis
- Bourbon virus
- Colorado tick fever
- Ehrlichiosis
- Hard tick relapsing fever
- Heartland virus
- Lyme disease
- Powassan virus
- Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis
- Rocky Mountain spotted fever
- Soft tick relapsing fever
- STARI
- Tularemia
- 364D rickettsiosis
I do not believe every tick carries all of these. And I suspect in 2026 the CDC might add some infections. PhD experts in tick infections likely can add more.
