In July 2022, the CDC, along with three leading medical newspapers, summarized these disorders. I was stunned to see that three causes to consider included these two:
Lyme Disease
Bartonella 1
Since I have been treating these infections since 1993 and am working on my 13th book on these related infections, I was very surprised. Why?
- I do not recall doctors treating this, looking for these infections.
- Of the 1/20 who tested for them, these relied on large commercial labs that used ancient, flawed, inferior test kits, or tested for only 1/20 of the species in humans.
- They had no idea that pretreatment with specific herbals or antibiotics tends to increase positive findings, since these are stealth infections.
- They read the test wrong.
Historically, the details of each outbreak vary, but in general, patients experienced a range of symptoms, including malaise, tender lymph nodes, sore throat, pain, and signs of encephalomyelitis (Lancet, 1955). Although the cause of the condition could not be determined, it appeared to be infectious.²
But in 1970, a condition I always find has abnormal labs if you test over 15 tubes, was now degraded to:
“mass hysteria on the part of the patients or altered medical perception of the community” (McEvedy and Beard, 1970, p. 11).²
They based their conclusions on the higher prevalence of the disease in females and the lack of physical signs in these patients.²
Huh?
When doctors are clueless, these are not rare:
- See a psychiatrist
- You want attention
- Irritability because you are complex
- Devaluation of your thoughts and comments.
- We do not treat Lyme or Bartonella (Some infection doctors say. But why? It is cured in all in 14-28 days, so easy cheesy.)
We Treat Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella
We treat Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella, and our 13th book on these will be:
The Definitive Guide to Diagnosis & Treatment of Bartonella
No five experts combined have even 12 books on these.
