Iceman mummy contains Lyme

Well this puts to rest the IDAS idea that Lyme doesn't persist in the body

He was lactose intolerant too.

And that borrelia bacteria only had something like 26 genes. The borrelia bacteria today have hundreds of genes. This doesn't happen in nature.

.....or that it is a "new" disease.

Klinghardt says this:

Fifteen to twenty years ago, research showed that the syphilis organism had 20–30 genes (which is very evolved for a microbe), and it was initially thought that the Borrelia organism had just a few more. Then, researchers believed that it had 137 genes. Recently, however, some of my German colleagues spent over $80,000 euros to crack the Borrelia spirochete genome. They took ticks from the East Coast of the United States and brought them back home to their lab in Germany. They isolated the spirochetes from them and found that the Borrelia-like organism that they tested actually had over 600 genes. Normal bacteria have anywhere from 6 to 15 genes. But 600 genes? The high number caused the researchers to suspect that Borrelia was a man-made organism that was created in a lab. This may be one reason why Lyme is so difficult to treat.

Here's what I find interesting, there seems to be two types of "Lyme". One that heals relatively easily - it may take a couple of years to heal it once it's gone chronic though. Then there's the 'version' that is really tough to beat, it can cause serious immune damage, and just able dismantles the bodily functions. Yet, people claim it's all the same. I'm not so sure......

The "tampering" would be one way of explaining this difference very easily. We know that it's (Borrelia) been in bio warfare labs.....

You could have accumulated pathogens as well from past tick bites, had other lifestyle stressors that impacted immunity etc. I find it difficult to believe that borrelia could be so widely disseminated and speciate as it has wiping out native strains in the short time we've had biotechnology. I also find it difficult to believe that the capacity for so much innovation on a bacteria is there technologically, especially given that borrelia is one of the most researched organisms of its type. In other words it's teaching us what makes a good parasite. I don't know where you read that borrelia had 26 genes. That's truly perplexing if true. I won't deny it but from what I've read most microorganisms have thousands of genes and even mycoplasmas are estimated by some to have 525 genes. Borrelia at 853 genes is actually considered quite small owing to the fact it is an obligate parasite which lacks some biosynthetic genes. about 430 of those have no known function but are speculated to be involved in antigenic variation. In other words the synthesis of erroneous proteins to constantly disguise itself. If such is true and borrelia truly jumped in genome size this rapid accumulation of genetic material would be perfectly reasonable under natural selection as the genes don't actually have to confer any unique function. They are also contained on plasmids which are readily exchanged with the outside world. Rapid changes in genome size could thus represent environmental alterations or the context in which the organism was handled/cultured.

I don't doubt for a minute the military has studied or even employed borrelia as an agent of biowarfare. Maybe they added a few things here and there. But the idea that they added hundreds of functional genes for virulence strikes me as highly unlikely given that borrelia has very few typical virulence factors which could have been borrowed from other known microorganisms

I don't know that we will ever know how George W was treated for his infection - and it was caught very early, since he was the President of the US at the time. They have their own personal doctor that checks them out any time.

One of the reasons I question a lot of this is because I was first sick at the age of 7 - and I was the only one in my family that got sick, so I didn't it from my Mother or other family member. I mean just how much accumulation of bad lifestyle (which I didn't have at that age), or accumulation of toxins, or accumulation of much of anything at the age of 7 can happen? I was a happy, healthy child until I had RMSF, and then it all went downhill from there.

Just my own personal driving force in questioning these things.

great info!

the corruption within the CDC/Govt agencies is horrifying..

The money connection and conflict of interests behind lymerix, the original lyme vaccine, the vaccine that has shown the receiver contracts lyme....

The "adjustment" and continuing "readjustments" to what Is a reportable Lyme case by CDC requirements to keep numbers low.

The denial of medical professionals who will not treat or do not acknowledge the existence of chronic Lyme...If they came up with a case of conscience or conviction, I'm sure they would be looking for new employment.

The there is so many sinister angles to all this....

It may not be and most likely won't be lyme that exposes the corruption in this agency, more likely the metal laced vaccines they have pumped into children for decades. Then, follow the corruption with vaccine pharmaceuticals companies to the doctors and scientists who stand to gain substantially at the risk of the public.

What about the vaccine that is now being proven to cause autism?

If it wasn't for the internet, we would have no clue to all of this happening around us.

I thank God for people like RFK jr who had made the vaccination issue top priority. I pray for his safety as I feel as he is putting himself in harm's was coming out on this matter he is so convicted about.

Don't get me started on the FDA!

Sorry hope I don't sound to conspiracy theory ish. Too much time to think....

It is not conspiracy theory, it is being revealed by whistleblowers that the media refuses to give any coverage to at all. Makes me sick. Literally! lol! But we stopped vaccinating our children after we finally put the dots together and saw them getting sicker with each round. My oldest got hit the hardest as I was very pro vaccine as a young mother. But when you know better, you do better. And I gotta say, anecdotally, my kids do not get sick near as often as their friends who get the flu jabs every dang year. In fact, they haven't been sick at all this winter so far. Not once. I advise people, before you get shots, research research. Look at the cdc pink book lists of ingredients, research each individual ingredient, research the diseases vaccines are meant to prevent, stop living in fear of what used to be considered fairly benign childhood illnesses, look at the rise in more serious issues like life threatening allergies, childhood autoimmune diseases, and yes, autism and other mental health disorders. Look at the rise of shingles in young people. Question everything. You can always go and get "caught up" on shots but you can never undo them.

Georgia Hunter, are there any new treatments revealed in New Paradigms in Lyme Disease Treatment? Or is it the same stuff everyone already knows about?
