Writing a few words to get back in blogging shape. There’s been a lot keeping me busy and as soon as I sat down to write, my dog starting puking on the floor. For the last month I’ve been recovering from the acupuncture cure of Alpha Gal and don’t know how long before then I was dealing with the symptoms of meat allergy. For months I was complaining about the quality of ground beef at the grocery store, in reality I was probably having allergic reactions. The first time I got Alpha gal, it hit so hard that my entire life shut down. When it was cured, I acted like it never happened. Mentally I couldn’t acknowledge what happened. At the same time I was struggling with some mystery illnesses for years, now I believe those were allergic reactions from eating meat. Now that the acupuncture is out and I’m feeling better, I don’t plan to eat beef, pork, or lamb ever again with hopes that will give me new life. These are my first days back and I’m making plans for my future. In the Fall, for the first time all kids will be in daycare and I’ll get another part of my life back. My show has been going well and I’m proud of how the interviews came out. My plan is to turn my recording into an AI self that can read my blog writings as a script to create daily videos. One attempt at AI cloning was already made and failed, my thinking was that everything was too complicated, so I’ve been figuring out how to simplify things for take two.

I read a journal article today in the AAAS (one of the older American medical journals) that FINALLY acknowledged for the first time that, when a tick bites a person, they transmit more than simply the bacterium responsible for Lyme Disease.

They also transmit opportunistic infections that, because CDC guidelines officially claim that coinfections do not exist, these infections go essentially untreated. This is obviously a problem.

🕷️ In Baden-Württemberg gibt es die ersten FSME-Erkrankungen. Aufgrund des milden Winters hat die Zeckensaison in diesem Jahr bereits im Januar begonnen. FSME ist eine Viruserkrankung, für die es keine Therapiemöglichkeiten gibt. Der beste Schutz gegen eine FSME-Infektion ist daher die Impfung. Bereits ab zwei Impfungen besteht ein #Schutz. Spätestens nach einem Jahr sollte mit der dritten #Impfung der Schutz vervollständigt werden.

New study from Ontario and Quebec which isolated pathogens causing tick-borne illness from ticks and small mammals. Results: plenty of Lyme (Borrelia burgdorferi) and some Babesia. A surprise: some samples positive for Rickettsia rickettsia, the agent of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, which is not supposed to occur this far north!

Tick-borne illness was once rare in Canada and is now becoming common, largely as a result of #climatechange. #Lyme #tickborneillness
