WHY SHOULD I OFFER ANY OPINION?
- I have treated Bartonella for about 25 years
- I wrote my first Bartonella textbook 2008. Do not buy. Medical science is 20x better now.
- We will be publishing the definitive Bartonella textbook (in Press).
- My family all had it many years ago.
- We have access to some leading experts.
- The former editor of JAMA published my related research in MEDSCAPE GENERAL MEDICINE that was the only huge article on Bartonellosis effects in psychiatry, such as new irritability, personality change, depression, panic, insomnia, and higher anxiety.
WHY ARE PHYSICIANS AND PHDs SO UNEDUCATED ABOUT BARTONELLA?
- 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.
- After researchers discovered two species in 1990 and 1991, henselae and quintana, there was meaningful training in residencies and CME course options used to assist physicals to keep up to date on these common infections..
- Both large commercial labs and infection doctors focussed on only two species, quintana and henselae, the two from 1990 and 1991. Currently we posted 23 species in humans, as part of our coming book on Bartonella.
- 99.9% of the million USA physicians, who are often exceptional, are entirely unaware of advanced testing available for about ten years. For example:
a) We can test for every possible future Bartonella in humans, including species that have no test for their antibodies, but will be positive on a newer GENUS test–it detects every human species. At times this is the only positive Bartonella test. (IgeneX)
b) We have peerless powerful testing to detect Bartonella DNA that with 3 samples in a week, is grown on the best possible media for Bartonella and then 20,000 droplets of your sample look for Bartonella DNA. It detects over 90% of Babesia. The lab is run by the top world research leaders (Galaxy Diagnostics). The only other lab showing anything with any DNA detection is DNA Connections (discuss with your doctor).
c) Only a very small number of researchers and doctors of animal and human medicine use low TNF-alpha and high super antiinflammatory chemical IL-10 to diagnose Bartonella. (Details in our Destroy Depression book); Yet If Babesia or Lyme is present one of these two chemicals will not fit a pure Bartonella finding on both. IL-10 and TNF-alpha are best tested at Radiance Diagnostics, Large commercial labs are currently worthless to test these two. - Why do infection experts only detect the two highly discussed quintana and henselea from 90 and 91? Microbiology was not poor in the previous 40 years. It has such stunning stealth. In one sample, an ill child was tested at large commercial labs and top research labs in the world–Bartonella was totally missed!. 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 that I might use from our 11 page single spaced order sheets. only look for the two 1990 and 1991 species. and are not even looking for the other 7 species in my pionering 2007 huge readable Medscape General Medicine psychiatry article, nor the 20 other human species. Commercial labs and teaching infectious disease doctors are sadly stuck in 1990 and 1991’s mere two species. While not every 23 human Bartonella species is routine, some are common.
- Research and our many years treating Bartonella henselae and quintana, show the species often found are not these 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. Teaching Infection physicions say, “Only Bartonella quintana and henselae matter.”
- 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.
- Advanced tests that make Bartonella glow brightly under advanced microscopes are useful for detecting high Bartonella amounts of bacteria in a sample that become negative with good treatment. But cannot be used to determine cure.
- Bartonella has an amazing massive prednisone-type of effect. Around the bacteria there is such immense stealth it is equated with 100–1000x times a common prednisone dose. I doubt this is systemic. Another amazing bartonella stealth ability.
- The best treatments are 3-4 treatments, at least in lab treatments. And these do not kill the biofilm! We wrote the first major book in 2014 on Combating Biofilms, but we are adding and refining many new options.
- Bartonella is in about 20% of the world population, if Europe, Rio, Middle East, Asia and 1900 years of European graves are correct. Who knows this? Very few physicians and PhD Bartonella scientists.These tests only looked for 1-2 species, not the 20+ other species in humans.
- Google posts the best doctors for Bartonella as entire medical departments, PhDs, or infectious disease doctors. There is no department on earth with a large entire group of experts. PhDs do not treat patients, and the “experts” treating physicians are reading about 100 papers, but are still teaching very outdated information. The huge infectious disease boards has trivial brief information.
- 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. So I have no wish to devalue doctors who are outside the best cutting age information. I am getting the findings of papers that will be published next year. (As for advanced science, do not buy my 2008 Bartonella Volumes–they were hypothetical with errors and incomplete information).
- We detect Bartonella much more with safe treatment before testing. It appears to kill a small number of Bartonella, which then are seen by the immune system. Why? It is 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
- 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 Advanced Bartonella book. How can we expect great doctors to know what is unpublished?
