The blood level of Bartonella is often too low to see anything. To see anything, you need 2-6 weeks to grow it, “culture it.” If using basic red blood agar, it must be freshly made. These bacteria are intracellular, which makes visualization harder. What type of culture should you use to grow Bartonella quintana? Routine,

Dr. Edward Breischwardt explained that dogs and humans have similar disease states with Bartonella. Dogs infected with Bartonella develop antibodies, and cutoff levels for a “positive” vary widely. But over approximately months, the antibodies drop into the negative range. This may be another reason Bartonella is so common yet tests negative via antibody testing. It

The wonderful state of Florida ended a fine doctor’s medical career because infection doctors with worthless “expertise” in infections I have 12+ top texts on, with a 1,300-page Bartonella tome, told the state medical board the ridiculous claim that it is very easy to diagnose Bartonella, and to specifically visualize it in blood. These frauds

There Are Actually 23 Species In Humans Of Varying Percentages Basic Bartonella sites and “starter” doctors report 3, 10, or 14 species. As far back as 2007, I published that there were 9 in humans. In 2025/2026 we posted the 23 species. B. bacilliformis B. bovis B. elizabethae B. grahamii B. henselae B. koehlerae B.

Dr. Breitschwerdt taught that after treatment, negative antibodies can create a “rebirth of Bartonella antibodies.” He may mean that a past antibody level which dropped to negative increases with treatment, or perhaps that antibodies become positive after treatment. Our Detection Trick For Bartonella For 20 years, we have pretreated for possible Bartonella, and this stealth bacteria often
