Many victims many suicidals. No treatments after 40 years with this illness. It a crime against humanity. All because of IDSA and CDC that the rest of the world stupidly follows.

YEAH!
Truly, natural remedies do work. If they didn't, we wouldn't have used them for thousands of years. And, pharmaceutical companies wouldn't be studying plants, taking extracts of them, and patenting them as drugs.this is not a claim or lies I was cured from sunusitis and my mother was also cured from Gerd/ Acid reflux by Dr Anetor herbal medicine in case you are having any health challenges you can contact him and also get cure too . www.facebook.com/Dr-anetor-herbalist-certain-180435843415977/

Thank you so much for discussing such topics 💚💚
For sure! I have a story to share. lyme.org/team I think Karen lost her son, Jamie to Lyme many years ago.
I had hyperemesis gravidarum terrible during pregnancy. A miscarriage in between pregnancy. Later developed POTS. Later diagnosed with Lyme and coinfections .
I also had hyperemesis during both pregnancies. I always thought it was strange that for both pregnancies I thought I was going to die!!! Gallbladder out when I was 3 months with my first child. My oldest went through most of his life so far (he is 17) with severe vocal and physical tics. He was diagnosed with PANDAS until I found out lyme and Bartonella. I had to seek help from a naturopathic dr out of province and what do you you know, l Treated for his actual disease and NO PSYCH meds needed he is now vocal and physical tics free!!! He also had severe Bartonella marks but was told by the paediatrician it was just “stretch marks”. My youngest has ADHD and also started noticing the Bart marks this year on his knees, back and sides. Such an awful thing to go through, especially being a medical professional and not living in a province that even wants to hear me talk about it. They will have no other choice soon, so I hope they are listening this time lol

Is testing reliable for this TBI?
Bay Area Lyme Foundation has announced the results of a genome sequencing study of Borrelia burgdorferi. It's the first study to define the connection between genomic markers and symptom severity.
These new discoveries will help inform physicians that different strains of the Lyme disease bacteria in the US may cause more severe Lyme disease symptoms.

Among the authors of this study are Gary Wormser and Allen Steere. These are two of what I call the "dogmatic naysayers" - the chronic lyme deniers. I am wondering if this is the beginning of the end of the "hard to catch, easy to cure" medical nonsense we've had to live with for decades. Thoughts?

Disturbed hearing, sleep, and smell in Lyme - Daniel Cameron, MD, MPH

Lyme disease can lead to hearing loss, tinnitus, disturbed sleep, overactive smell, and sensory hyperarousal.5 CommentsComment on Facebook
Yup
I had all of that in the early 1990's.....Thank you!
My early symptoms included hypersensitivity to light, sound and movement. All improved w antibiotics although they did not completely subside.
Totally bartonella.... 😁
Spot on. When I presented with sensory issues as part of my symptoms two Neurologists said, my symptoms were reminiscent of a traumatic brain injury and after scans and an emg they did not know how to proceed and remedy my symptoms. Yes, with antibiotic treatment it does get better but also it does flare from time to time. Big cities, crowds, concerts and emergency vehicles lights and sirens can be completely overwhelming or a train idling on a track. The sensitivity to smells as well is troubling you would think I am a bear sniffing out honey, though with Covid I lost the sense of smell, but I feel mine came back with a vengeance.
I was pleased to read that clinicians considered #Lyme disease in their differential diagnosis when a man with dementia had a worsening of symptoms.
They did not assume his altered mental status was due to his earlier diagnosis of #dementia.

By mapping the genetic code of particularly virulent strains of Lyme disease bacteria, scientists may have gotten a step closer to figuring out why symptoms persist for months, or even years, in some people.

Years until effective treatment is not unusual! Most doctors won’t “get it until they get it”, or until someone in their immediate family gets infected and they witness first hand the determination when not treated, or when treated for one tick borne illness but not the others often acquired in the same tick bite.
Treat property is interesting. What is that treatment? Ticks are like billions of invisible snipers all over the world and this Lyme war still goes on despite everyone knows that the old treatment guidelines from IDSA does not work at stationary phase.
Kris Kristofferson may have the Same story
Since most doctor's don't know how to diagnose and treat -- since their blood tests show everything is fine. The books cannot help them. Thank goodness for Johns Hopkins, Tufts, and Columbia for leading the research. The Science is catching up with the Patients.
I can’t tell you how many articles I’ve read like this and it’s mine and my daughter’s story too. It should be criminal that docs (except you) either don’t believe us or simply don’t want to learn how to diagnose and treat.
Lyme and co-infection literate medical professionals are key!
Has ivermectin ever been used for a treatment? I’m curious if this would work.

My goodness!! This needs to be shared! I've been deeply researching Lyme for about a decade and I've never heard this before!
It infects and kills CD4 cells,just like HIV. So doctors can make mistake
It still amazes me so much how these Lyme related illnesses mimic so many other horrible illnesses that could be treated and the patients could have a good quality of life if only doctors in the US and around the world would get on board with being educated about Lyme Disease and it's Coinfections! I can't thank you enough Dr. Cameron for all of your knowledge you share with us! Your are changing the world and I'm sure your have saved more lives than you realize! You sure saved mine and I've never been a patient of yours except for on social media where I learned what to tell the doctors how to help me! Chronic Lyme sufferer and Babesiosis survivor. You are my Rock Dr. Daniel Cameron! Thank you so much! With Love, Liz in NC! May God Bless you always!🙏💖

Same in my case plus chills without fever. You mentioned about lombar puncture. Is this exam enough for Lyme confirmation? I had negative this exam but all my symptoms I have had for 3 years now seem to make up Lyme disease. Thank you
I was diagnosed with babesia WA1 (ducani) but never treated back in 2014. Also mycoplasma pneumonia that showed up on antibody tests.... especially IgA... from Quest. My original symptoms were breathing issues and cardiac.... those have mostly resolved. Now it's GI issues, systemic swelling, and periodic "Bee sting" like sensations in my hands and fingers.... it strange stinging sensation... I've read that could be tick or parasite related... anyone ever heard of that or have it happen (bee sting like sensations) ?
I already gave up on ever getting cured of HSV2 because i have try many treatment none of them work out for me i have gone to different hospital they always tell me the same thing there is no cure for herpes, when i came across a post about Dr UMA in the net from a lady called Angela i contacted her and she reassured me with his herbal medicine which i took according to the way he instructed, that how i was cured. I doubted at first because i have been to a whole lot of reputable doctors, tried a lot of medicines but none was able to cure me. so i decided to listen to him and he commenced treatment, and under two weeks i was totally free from Herpes. i want to say a very big thank you to DR UMA for what he has done in my life. feel free to leave him a message on email dr.umaherbalcenter@gmail.com or also Whats-app him +2347035619585.. he also cure all this 1.HEPITIETIS, A,B,C, 2.HIV HPV 3 .ALS 4.

Education is empowerment !! 🙂
We’re grateful for your support Dr. Daniel Cameron. 🙏🙏🙏Australian Lyme patients are in a dire situation that’s only worsened since our Senate Inquiry in 2016. Treating doctors are as rare as hen’s teeth and patients have to shift for themselves without medical care 😢
Pepto bismal…I know it sounds crazy…left leg died, three days of four doses, my leg returned….this was purely by chance, suffering Lyme gut I could see the difference overall in five days…if you are suffering Lyme try it…it’s unbelievable
NZ govt says there is no known Lyme disease spread in NZ, however, it has been proven that Lyme is sexually transmitted, so a person visit the USA, catches Lyme without realising, comes back to NZ or Australia, sleeps with partner and whalla it's transmitted. All in the while our governments remain ignorant.
Wow, Hi Daniel, I'm Leanne from New Zealand. Wow what an achievement. Well done. Australia and New Zealand Authorities are still in denial because they aren't testing the ticks. Also strongyloides is a carrier of Lyme in australia and birdmites. 2 diagnosed in our family with Lyme, ( my daughter and myself) and husband couldn't get a positive result. He has ME symptoms, blindness, CFS. ( now suffering stage 5 ckd) never smoked or drunk alcohol. What a nightmare it's been. 10 years of suffering. Unable to work. There are at least 200 people I know who have Lyme here in NZ and can't get a Dr to help. So thankful your able to raise awareness down under. Cheers and a Vegemite sandwich to you for effort. Xox
