- We are taught 30 seconds in medical school.
- It is extremely rare to see it diagnosed in 5 years of residency or fellowship. The word “Bartonella” was never mentioned in a very good 5 training years after getting my MD.
- Top CME companies do not offer courses on Bartonella (to doctors who have finished their 9 year training.)
- Infectious disease doctors have no time to learn much about this emerging infection because they are becoming solid experts at 1000 other infections. Looking at their board preparations and many conferences show virtually nothing on this stealth infection.
- They do not have it, nor their family or 25% of their patients. All who are passionate about it have SEEN it vividly. And were not cured with low dose brief treatment. They do not want to fight with HIV, TB, Hepatitis, and another 995 infections experts. They are just typing to be real. And they often have read 2000 articles and studied 5–35 years on these. IDSA infection doctors play 30 musical instruments. People like me have played three instruments for 32 years. Apples and oranges.
HOW CAN SMART EXPERT PHYSICIANS SPEAK “BARTONELLA” WITHOUT 40 HOURS OF TRAINING? I did 40 hours in the last 10 days!
WHY SHOULD I OFFER ANY OPINION ON BARTONELLA? WHO AM I TO LISTEN TO? A FAIR QUESTION.
- I have been treating Bartonella for about 25 years
- I wrote my first Bartonella textbooks in 2008. Do not buy. Science 20x better now.
- The definitive Bartonella textbook in Press.
First Bartonella Volumes (2008)
- I have good access to some leading experts.
- The first article on Bartonellosis effects in psychiatry, such as common new irritability, personality change, depression, panic, and daily higher anxiety I wrote in MEDSCAPE GENERAL MEDICINE, 36 pages peer-reviewed and published by the former editor of 10 top journals including JAMA. No article revised or mentioned a word on my breakthrough findings for about 13 years. Crickets. And then it was the world expert, Dr. Ed Breichwert, who added to the psychiatry and neurology.
A FEW MORE REASONS WE ALL KNOW SO LITTLE ABOUT BARTONELLA
1. In the 80’s in medical school, I only learned about one species in Peru that kills you. We all Ignored this dangerous one, since we had no plans to go work in the Peruvian mountains.
2.. After we discovered two species in 1990 and 1991, Silence. We were taught zero on them–no education in any residencies and the larger CME course options to get ongoing training.
3. Both large commercial labs and infection doctors focussed on the two from 1990 and 1991. Currently we post our 23 species in humans, as part of our coming book on Bartonella.
4. 99.95% of the million USA physicians, who are often exceptional, are entirely unaware of testing available for about ten years.
5. We can test for every bartonella in humans, including species that have no test for their antibodies, but ONLY by Genus testing to detect any Bartonella in a human.
6. We have powerful testing to detect Bartonella DNA that with 3 samples in a week is grown on the best food media for Bartonella and then 20,000 droplets look for Bartonella DNA. It detects over 90% of Babesia. (Galaxy). The only other lab showing anything like this DNA detection is DNA Connections–consider with your doctor.
7. Only a very small number of researchers and doctors know a diagnosis of Bartonella can be made with a low TNF-alpha and a very high antiinflammatory chemical IL-10. If Babesia or Lyme is present one will not fit a pure Baryonella finding on both.
a) Bartonella turns “off” TNF-alpha which is a powerful body infection defence chemical.
b) It raises IL-10 to drop inflammation to protect Bartonella
c) These are best tested at Radiance Diagnostics, Large commercial labs are currently worthless in these.We discuss with great clarity in our January 30, 2026 DESTROY DEPRESSION book which is exciting and peerless, this topic and how to read cytokine tests.
8) Why do infection experts only detect the two highly discussed quintana and henselea from 1990 and 1991? Microbiology was not poor in the previous 40 years. It has such stunning stealth.
In one very sick child, useful large commercial labs and top research labs in the world–totally missed the Bartonella. So how was it detected? By a tiny biopsy of the brain (Edward Brieschwert, Galaxy Diagnostics). It is not easy to detect.
large commercial labs. They are only looking for the two 1990 and 1991 species. and are not even looking for the other 21 species Infection physicians and the CDC are stuck in 1991.
9). Many researchers and our significant long-term research with many years treating Bartonella henselae and quintana, show the species often found are not the two species from 33 years ago. And if one of these 1991 species are positive, others are usually present–never considered by smart teaching infectious disease doctors. “Bartonella nsb, found by a lab, others are found. Often treating the one species later reveals another
10) Stria that look a very little like stretch marks are very different, have bartonella in them, and Bartonella can cause peculiar enlarged lymph nodes that last longer than common fast bacteria infections. These two findings are not common and are approximately a mere 3% of our Bartonella patients treated from approximately 24 years.
11) Advanced tests that make Bartonella grow is a nice option, but these are rarely positive, and we use them to detect high blood volume. With good treatment they become negative but you are never fully cured using only them. Using FISH testing only shows a high starting volume. 4 treatments for 18 months still shows it visually after our top 2026 biofilm agents, some in my biofilm reference book, and my posts on facebook, but especially my medical blog and YouTube channel. Some of this material is from our family’s 3.8 million investing in advancing research and healing.
I was briefly a NIH grant reviewed. I learned to apply myself, it would take two full years to learn the process and/or hire an expert on government medical grants. I had no time to fart around an hire a master of health research grants,
Government can help but over 32 years they did not do anything on Bartonella. One witty expert I enjoy, mentioned he had served in about five government Lyme type agencies–nothing he felt was worth vast hours in meetings.
12) Bartonella has a hard to explain huge prednisone type of effect I might imagine, that “surrounds” bartonella so it may be 100–1000x times typical oral prednisone. I doubt this is systemic. Another amazing bartonella stealth ability. We are still learning about this action.
13) The best treatments are 3-4 treatments, at least in a lab. And these do not kill the biofilm! We wrote the first slime barrier defeating major book in 2014, but adding and refining and discussing many new options.
14) Bartonella is in about 20% of the world population, if Europe and Rio and 1900 years of European graves are of use. Who knows this? Very few physicians and Bartonella focused on PhDs. And, these tests only looked for 1-2 species, not the 20+ other species in humans. To be fair the 23 species in humans are not all highly common.
15) Google posts the best doctors for Bartonella are groups publishing a few things, an entire medical department with people unknown merely paying for placement. Or one might see PhDs, or infectious disease doctors listed as top experts in the local three states. There is no department on earth with a large entire group of top Bartonella except maybe one group in N. Carolina and another in California). Huge top 2025/2026 infection books have trivial advanced education.
16) If you do not see it in you, a spouse or children, or 20% of your patients–why learn it over a couple years? I would never have studied and authored the first Bartonella book in the world (2008) if my entire family and roughly 15% of my patients did not have it.
17) I have no wish to devalue doctors who are experts in 1000 infections they know well. They just don’t know things like bartonella. In stark contrast, we have collected research over 25 years that filled huge storage areas. Sure, what am I doing this month? I am doing 30 hours a week of the best science on Bartonella to trim my 1300 pages to a 200–275 definitive tome,
18) I am finding or getting cutting age information. I am getting the findings of papers that will be published next year. (This is one reason not to buy my one outdated book–do not buy my 2 Bartonella 2008 Bartonella volumes. The 2008 book is hypothetical with errors and incomplete information.
19. We detect bartonella much more with safe treatment before testing. It appears to kill a small number of Bartonella which then is seen by the immune system due to the loss of stealth and the high volume of fragments. Do not insist your doctor do this. I have never heard any doctor suggest this. One option to kill Bartonella before testing is to buy our book: The Use of Herbs and Essential Oils to Kill Lyme disease, Bartonella, and Babesia.
20) How do you prove you killed Bartonella’s slimy strong biofilm barrier? I think we found success and proof in five patients. We will publish in our exciting Bartonella book. How can we expect great doctors to know what is unpublished on sophisticated biofilm science?
