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 used expertise in 700 infections to sell themselves as “experts” on emerging, highly specialized things like Bartonella (and Babesia). Like saying, “I am a top surgeon, so I can operate on the heart of a 7-month-old fetus.” They have clearly no real training in these, but you do not realize you are ignorant until you become educated. There are not even 10 full-time infection doctors in North America who are thought leaders in Bartonella.
The actual world expert is Dr. Edward Breischwardt, the author of 200 research articles on Bartonella and the father of modern Bartonella science and medicine. He is the Science Director at Galaxy Diagnostics, which offers his elite technology for PCR testing using his patented insect growth media and a 20,000-droplet PCR examination of any human body tissue or fluid to determine the exact species present.
Guess if they find more than the two species, Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana, discovered around 1990?
GALAXY FINDS MANY MORE SPECIES THAN THESE TWO, ROUTINELY AND CONSTANTLY.
Bartonella infection doctor “experts” who are CME teachers of physicians insist on focusing on merely two species from 1990: Bartonella henselae and Bartonella quintana.
In my foundational 2007 research paper on Bartonella and psychiatric dysfunction, published by the past editor of JAMA and ten other journals in Medscape General Medicine, I listed nine species in humans. Recently, Dr. Breischwardt felt our Bartonella book’s proposed 23 species in humans was reasonable, though we all agree the top eight are more common.
In a true expert CME, Dr. Breischwardt says:
“Our diagnostics are more like tin than gold… even though many talk about the gold standard test(s).”
What a contrast in humility.
Florida infection doctors claim to be Bartonella (and Babesia) experts to a degree that destroys another doctor, and they are nobodies in both infections, or I would know them well. I have seen their training in these two infections. It is less than what I have done to write four pages in many key books on these.
Indeed, they told the Florida medical board that visualizing Bartonella is easy, so the board made that the standard of basic care. The doctor did not perform that precise test, so his license was revoked, and every other state where he held a license terminated it.
Bartonella Visualization
In my definitive Hematology Babesia Identification textbook, which no infection doctor has improved upon, I do show some Bartonella examples. The expert microbiologist, pathology, and laboratory medicine specialist was likely using a patented stain. Why? Basic medical student stains were fair at best.
See the worst black-and-white Bartonella slide I have been able to find, from a fine Egyptian researcher. Let me assure you, few laboratories or microbiologists can find them that vividly, if at all.
Indeed, the standard of care is not visualization of Bartonella in blood. This is utter nonsense by doctors ignorant to the extreme regarding Bartonella (and Babesia).
Even the CDC does not suggest an easy blood diagnosis in the two minutes that they teach in a microbiology course is enough of a look for infections.
A microbiology friend took five hours to find Babesia, which is a single-celled parasite inside red blood cells.
Around that time, the CDC changed its position on the great ease of seeing Babesia, correcting themselves and the pseudo-experts aiding the Florida medical board in evaluating this same doctor’s vocational decimation. They said:
“Do not assume you will see Babesia on the first smear or slide… It may require further examination.”
That is why I created the Babesia Hematology book, offering about 100 formations of Babesia, because $5,000 worth of parasite books only showed a tetrad, or four parasites connected to form an X, in absolutely every single book.
Again, Florida has no elite Babesia physician who possesses the titanic fakery to call a doctor actively studying Babesia, more than all four infectious disease doctors combined, capable of deeming this destroyed physician’s diagnosis and treatment deeply dangerous.
I have seven books on Babesia and found that about ten infection doctors at elite medical centers repeatedly missed Babesia while it was indirectly killing a doctor. They relied on antibody testing from large commercial laboratories.
Of course, if your huge commercial laboratory offers 1,000 test options, they will not master the 6 to 15 tests looked for by many different assay types.
That Babesia discovery was also published in Medscape General Medicine by J.L. Schaller et al.
Clinical Judgment
Dr. Breischwardt adds in his CME:
“Because laboratory testing of Bartonella has its limits, clinicians need to rely on their clinical observations.”
Huh?
That is exactly what this former elite doctor was doing, along with additional laboratory testing. The four infection doctors convinced the medical board that removing the doctor’s lifelong vocation was deserved.
He augmented his laboratory results with his solid knowledge of the patient.
The four experts on every bacteria, virus, fungus, protozoa, phage, biofilm, and parasite on earth, now, past, and in the future, claim infectious omniscience.
They act like gods claiming infectious omniscience, who know all infections infallibly and perfectly throughout all the earth.
Bow.
