So It Doesn’t Happen To Another Child The curious thing about tick-borne disease is we’ve got people like me fighting for our own well-being, at the same time we’re fighting the medicabal to get them to test beyond their generalized-specialties and recognize the fact: There are many more—just like us—that are misdiagnosed and mistreated to the point of no return. Alex Hudson (the young lady in the article) went 11 years improperly diagnosed, she died from mast cell and lyme d

I've had the second infusion in the second round of Chelation Therapy for Heavy Metals Toxicity. Here's a link to the LymeNotes Facebook Page where I share some of the practical and philosophical aspects of day-to-day life in treatment for things related to tick-borne disease... bit.ly/LNJ82918

Aura, in my person, is a sensory disturbance that might begin with seeing blue, silver or white sparks fluttering about, or prismatic effects presenting throughout my field of view; along with tingling in my forearms and/or left-side palsy; and nausea; along with word slurring and/or word loss. Aura, in my person, presents as a silent migraine (no pain associated) and is an affect of overstimulation. Most, if not all, of the associated symptoms usually resolve within an hour

100 percent of the more than $1 million raised at the sixth annual LymeAid dinner and concert event in Portola Valley, California, will go directly to fund research and education projects for Lyme disease. Bay Area Lyme Foundation, a leading sponsor of Lyme disease research in the United States, brought together scientists, philanthropists, celebrities and patients for the event aimed at raising funds to make Lyme disease easy to diagnose and simple to cure. Multiple research

Bay Area Lyme Foundation's Emerging Leader Awards are designed to encourage new Lyme disease research projects. Genomics, immunotherapy and unraveling the stealth attributes of Lyme disease were the focus of the 2018 Emerging Leader Award projects. Bay Area Lyme Foundation awarded grants to four inspired scientists who have developed promising diagnostics or therapies for Lyme disease. George Church, Ph.D., and Ting Wu, Ph.D. were each awarded a $250,000 grant to launch the G

As a sufferer of tick-borne disease I'm anxious whenever I venture outdoors. Be it a walk in the park with my two blue heelers, Ellie and Grace, or an adventure into my own back yard for some garden therapy. Even getting out of and into the car when it's parked next to a planter causes lip sweat and heart palpitations. It's post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for which I am in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In CBT for PTSD I've learned prevention is key and the first

A solution may already be out there. So why haven't most of us heard of it? The version made for humans was shelved by the manufacturer three years after it was introduced for fear of a link to arthritis. “The irony, is that the pet vaccine is exactly the same vaccine, it is the same anti-OspA vaccine strategy with the same protein and hundreds of millions of doses have been given to dogs with no safety issues.” ~ Sam Telford | One of two researchers who developed an FDA-appr

First discovered in the U.S. in 1925, anaplasmosis has long been considered a disease in the Southeast. Recent studies, however, show the disease firmly rooted in Midwestern and Western states, too. Veterinarians say ticks are the primary vectors for biological transmission because they serve as amplifiers of the disease. The second mode of transmission is mechanical, mostly involving horse, stable and deer flies. Additionally, needles play a role in mechanical transmission.

Reminiscent of “One of These Things Is Not Like the Others” from Sesame Street, the CDC apologizes for hiding ticks in plain sight on a poppy seed muffin. The awareness campaign certainly gives a new spin to the Take a Bite Out of Lyme Disease Challenge. Read all about it in the linked USA Today article... http://bit.ly/TwitterTicked

It was the summer of 2017 and 13 year old Olivia Goodreau was on vacation in Missouri with her family. Olivia was enjoying the outdoors with her dog Mo—short for Missouri—when she noticed a tick. Olivia and her mom watched as the tick began to attach itself to Mo’s leg. Using a pair of needle nose tweezers, Olivia properly removed the tick from her faithful friend and asked her mom, “Is there an app that can show what ticks are around us?” Later, the same evening, Olivia disc

Experts are warning to protect against biting insects this spring and summer, and to have insect repellent at the ready when spending time outdoors, as disease transmission from common pests is on the rise. “One of the easiest things to do when it comes to tick and mosquito prevention is to wear insect repellent when you’ll be outdoors — this is just as important as applying sunscreen and can minimize contact with vector pests that can transmit dangerous diseases like West Ni

Last week's CDC report barely says, or omits entirely, what matters most... The reasons for dramatic increases in the rates of infectious diseases spread by ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes — a.k.a. “vector-borne diseases.” Emerging infections are the result of changes in exposure, and those in turn result when people and pathogens find themselves together in new places, or when the environmental conditions of previously populated places change, making them hospitable to new agen

Nearly one hundred people, many with the Lyme disease, attended a protest outside of CDC headquarters to raise awareness of the CDC’s mis-handling of this public health threat and protest the CDC’s definition of chronic Lyme disease. WSB-TV Atlanta News Coverage: http://bit.ly/LymeArmyProtest “This organization is designed to protect the public, not to hinder and harm us and they’re harming us,” said Mirenda Campirano, who attended the rally from Brownsville, Texas.

“I’m that frustrated — I’m just going to start walking and talking,” Kristy Wood-Giles said with a smile before taking to the podium at VOCALOttawa 2018 organized by Voices of Canadians Against Lyme Disease. “Prevention is great — there’s more we can be sharing with people — but it’s the treatment point where we have to get more awareness,” argued Wood-Giles, who is aiming to cover at least Ontario but says she still can only hike as much as her health allows. Ottawa was decl

Despite their name, deer ticks feed on—and infect—many wild critters, particularly mice. Deer do not carry Lyme, but they are tick farms that keep tick populations high. The native and ubiquitous white-footed mouse is considered the primary vector of Lyme. Each mouse can have between 25 and 100 ticks on it at any time. If you trap or poison mice in your house or yard, all those ticks are going to drop off in search of another host. Hypothetically, giving mice new beds may be

San Francisco NPR radio station KQED’s Forum interview program examines what's causing the surge of tick-borne diseases and how Lyme Disease in particular is affecting Northern California. Host Michael Krasny presents an excellent panel discussion with guests: Mary Beth Pfeiffer, investigative journalist and author of ‘Lyme: The First Epidemic of Climate Change’ Raphael Stricker M.D., physician and past president, International Lyme & Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) Andre
