Disclaimer before it even starts- Lyme patients that fought to have the Lyme ‘vaccine’ removed from the market are NOT antivaxxers

Reason #1
Discussions of the Climate Crisis has brought about an uptick in posts about Lyme Disease & blaming antivaxxers for there no longer being a Lyme vaccine
I can 100% assure that antivaxxers had almost nothing to do w/ LymeRix being taken off the market

The first time I was diagnosed w/ Lyme disease was in 1982 when I was 10 yrs old.
I was fortunate to have been diagnosed at all. I contracted from a tick bite I received on summer vacation in the Hamptons. I was given some antibiotics & told I’d be fine

There are over 400 peer-reviewed articles discussing the association between #Lymedisease and neuropsychiatric symptoms (continued in comments). #LymeDiseaseAwarenessMonth #Lyme
1/4 The biggest challenge for people suffering from mood disorders is most mental health practitioners are not trained to look for the underlying cause(s) of the symptoms – including Lyme disease.
2/4 Many people end up on mood-stabilizing medication for years – or a lifetime – without a known cause of their symptoms. In some with Lyme disease, mood symptoms may improve on psychotropic medication, but symptoms often relapse.

Chronic Lyme caused beloved, brilliant @dukemedicine oncologist/ scientist @drneilspector to lose his ❤️, have a transplant, and sadly, ultimately die in June 2020 from it.
He wanted everyone to know he died from chronic Lyme. He was one of my dearest friends.

@madeleinedaisyr Alan Steere took out the legitimacy & decades of research & progress for #MECFS & #fibromyalgia in 90s. He had published they & #lymeDisease caused serious neuroImmune illness. For the 1st #lyme #vax, he took all 3 out, saying all were hysterical Womens’ non-illnesses instead 2/
@madeleinedaisyr Why did he (#bigPharma) take out #MEcfs & #Fibromyalgia along with #lymeDisease when the goal was to change #lyme medicine knowledge so they could approve Lyme testing they knew wouldn’t work? Cause all 3 are caused by the same thing. Lyme results in MECFS & #fibro 3/
@madeleinedaisyr A #stanford researcher was looking into markers for #MECFS (2015-2020ish) & was funded & all was good. AS SOON AS he added #lymeDisease into his #MECFS research, he was suddenly taken out in a scandal & I don’t believe he did what accused of. When added lyme-that a coincidence?4/
It might be shocking to people to learn that the original #LymeDisease vaccine, #LYMErix, was so bad & the diagnostic tests so inaccurate, that the surveillance case definition of #Lyme was changed to make them both seem effective. Not a theory; the FDA devoted a whole meeting.
It’s probably most shocking to the people who got LYMErix & experienced AEs, & people with #LymeDisease who have been tortured for years or decades without treatment because the “experts” who were in on the scam still control the dialogue to this day.
They’ve trained a whole new crop of gullible, easily indoctrinated, sadistic egoists to carry on for them. Any #LymeDisease “experts” coming out of Yale, UConn, Harvard, NYMC, Hopkins, Stonybrook, UMinn should all be treated with a healthy dose of skepticism.
I saw the @QuietEpidemic yesterday at 1 of the premieres. It can be hard for lymies to get places, but if you’ve never been to a #LymeDisease film premiere, U are surrounded by #lyme peeps who’ve been through what you have, & know true suffering & what it takes to not give up 2/
2. The #lymeDisease film @QuietEpidemic is very well made, shows what it is to have #lyme, how it destroys lives, & that it isn’t confined to a few NE states. & it dares to share truths & show names & faces! These R the truths that WE must get known to the world. It’s up 2 us. 3/
3. It shouldn’t be, but it’s up to #lymeDisease patients, loved ones, & the few #doctors that treat #lyme (the few that actually understand illness & medicine & biology) to disclose the federal “health” agencies & #bigPharma intently made testing fail & caused illness in many 4/

We are in our fourth year of work to understand #LongCovid and we now know things about it thanks to science. After being told again by a quasi-well meaning, if uninformed, clinician that LC is just functional neurological disorder (FND). Here’s a 🧵 on why LC IS NOT FND (1/)
So, what *is* FND anyway? Anyone who works in FND has to admit that over the years it has always been a problematic diagnosis with far too many unskilled and uninformed clinicians considering it to be synonymous with conversion disorder (read: “psychosomatic illness”) (2/)
More recently, those who know the field will acknowledge that a more nuanced point of view has emerged in regards to FND. Namely, skilled clinicians who are trying to treat FND in good faith hold the view that in the patient with FND, *some* change has occurred in the brain, (3/)

NEW RESEARCH: Herbal and enzyme formula effective at reducing #Biofilms. Biofilms are a polysaccharide matrix secreted by microbes to create a protective community. Think of a biofilm like Jello surrounding a raspberry in a dessert (continued in comments). #Lymedisease #Lyme
1/5 Biofilms can make bacteria up to a thousand times more resistant to antibiotics. #Candida and #Borrelia (the bacteria that cause Lyme disease) commonly produce biofilms.

[CASE REPORT] The CDC reports a case of Borrelia miyamotoi in California man: The Center for Disease Control (CDC) just published a case report In their journal, Emerging Infectious Disease, of Borrelia miyamotoi in California (continued in comments). #Lyme #Lymedisease #TBRF

#lymeDisease is being #imprisoned in a life of brutal symptoms for YEARS! It IS a sentence of #imprisonment. The corruption of #lyme medicine=innocent people convicted & unjustly punished for crimes committed by federal “health” agencies & #bigPharma representatives.For profit 2/
The CDC & #vaccine makers KNOWINGLY made #lymeDisease testing fail & reversed #lyme medicine science (began lying about all its impacts) in the 90s & then for the next 30 years told doctors not to test for Lyme & if they do, to use the test they made fail for their #vax trials.3/

Breaking News: The incidence of #LymeDisease erythema migrans (🎯) rash is overstated by more than 10X.
This is done by sleight of hand in calculation method and reliance on the public to infer that the calculation is based on @CDCgov’s estimate of 476,000 cases per year.
This is done by sleight of hand in calculation method and reliance on the public to infer that the calculation is based on @CDCgov’s estimate of 476,000 cases per year.
Here are the last 2 pages of my document. The #LymeDisease “authorities” want the public to believe the 🎯 rash appears in 70%-80% of nearly half a million cases/year. In reality, the figure is calculated on *confirmed* cases, only about 45,000 in 2020.
Will #BellaHadid’s sharing her excruciating & debilitating fight with #lymeDisease build awareness of the corruption that’s caused so many to go undiagnosed & through this same battle? For 30 YEARS doctors have been told not to test for #lyme & if do, to use failed testing.2/
#lymeDisease is a disabling multi-system illness transmitted congenitally (in the womb), sexually, & by mosquitoes, spiders, etc (not just ticks). It destroys the systems & organs it gets to & your immune system (making it deficient & reactive). Ur body can’t fight it awhile. 3/
Undiagnosed #lymeDisease works away at U & U are told it’s due to some other illness-then U have that illness or injury (like #covid) that’s the last straw & #lyme takes over. Doctors have been lied to about lyme for 30 years so if run failed testing they’ll tell u it’s neg. 4/
A common myth about #LymeDisease is that serological tests work better after 3 weeks of infection because antibodies develop slowly. This is true for only about 15% of cases—those who have the HLAs needed to produce a strong & broad immune response.
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
Notice the date: 1990. CDC’s #LymeDisease group knew this when they manipulated the case definition a few years later. They implemented a diagnostic scheme that only IDs that minority of highly seropositive cases.
That means #LymeDisease tests are *only* very accurate (especially after a few weeks) if #Lyme = a genetic predisposition to a strong immune response against Borrelia antigens.
