Thanks to efforts by The Center for Lyme Action -@lyme_action- & dedicated nationwide #Lyme disease advocates, funding increases for Lyme & #tickborne diseases were approved by the House Appropriations Committee.
The House Appropriations Committee approved an increase of $25 million for Lyme and TBD research setting a minimum spend of $125M in FY25.
$125M – @NIH NIAID Lyme and Tickborne disease research (+$25M)
$27M - @CDCgov Lyme Disease Funding (+$0M)
$5M – HHS @Lyme_X (+$0M)
In addition to the boost in NIH funding, the Committee made several significant and promising additional instructions to HHS:
-CDC to review TBD website content
-CDC to create a report on Alpha-gal
-CDC to work on new diagnostic tests and focus on workers at high risk for TBD
-CDC to create a report on maternal fetal transmission of Lyme disease
-NIH, CDC, and FDA to consider the creation of National Network of Academic Research and Clinical Centers of Excellence for Tick-Borne Diseases
-ARPA-H to evaluate potential projects related to TBD
-NIH to provide a report on plans to address pediatric Lyme
-HHS to create a TBD office to coordinate cross departmental activities around the new National Strategy for Vector Borne Disease
Advocates, keep connecting with your Representatives in the House and Senate. You are making a difference!

Scientists with Tuft University’s Lyme Disease Initiative have recently received more than $7 million in grants to focus on teasing apart the underlying causes of chronic Lyme disease—as well as better ways to diagnose and track infection and reinfection.

I've been in practice since '96, & it's still hard for me to get my head around just how much trauma stems from chronic illness-
Especially when it happens in childhood, &
Especially when the illness isn't well understood.

Why don’t our public health and federal officials ever get suspended for spreading dangerous misinformation?
They are the biggest purveyors.

I sent a group of Boston scientists/ MDs the article on lab-made Covid virus with 80% death rate created at Boston University & they felt horrified & duped.

To understand how deeply and profoundly the chronic #Lyme pandemic has been covered up, to the detriment of #LongCovid patients, read this 1989 article about it from Newsweek and compare it to any mainstream article written in the 2 last decades. Scandalous & criminal! 👇🏼
I hate to say it but decades of #Lyme taught the 🌎 nothing. Too bad @CDCgov @IDSAInfo fought so hard to cover it up.
I will send u a short list of psychiatrists who evaluate for infections.
1989. Chronic Lyme went from cover of Newsweek to covered up. drive.google.com/file/d/1dxB…

Yes. Promising newly available test for detecting neuronal injury. Broad implications for diagnosis & validation of illnesses with neurological impairment #Alzheimers #Parkinsonsdisease #LongCovid #MultipleSclerosis #Concussion #Lyme #MECFS #braininjury #TBI
So many implications for this neurofilament light chain testing: ME, CFS, Fibromyalgia, MS, Parkinsons, ALZ Long-COVID, Long-Lyme... Diagnosis & validation.

Research opportunity for #Lyme patients who experience symptom flares accompanied by profound fatigue that is triggered by activity, stress, or other factors. Kits are mailed to your home. #LymeDisease #LongLyme #chronicLyme
Stanford University researchers are recruiting #MEcfs, #ChronicLyme, and #LongCOVID patients for a study to better understand symptom flares such as post-exertional malaise (PEM), or “crashes”.

Doctors are fleeing healthcare in droves.
From what I'm seeing, it's the good ones--The ones smart enough to read the writing on the wall, which says:
"If you won't do what you're told, even if it's wrong, we'll find someone younger, dumber, & less ethical than you to do it."

Disagree
Measles, Ebola, Zika, SARS-CoV-2 can perisist in host cells for years after acute infx w/o patients overtly infectious
Viral RNA often transcriptionally active & can modulate host immune response
Persistence evidence abounds @microbeminded2 @StevePhillipsMD @polybioRF

Read about it. It’s pretty fucking horrifying. khn.org/news/article/pfizer-…

Instead of acting (fake) outraged abt your (disingenuous) spinning of my tweet, be mad at this. 👇🏼
The damage done to the public due to fed officials’ refusal to acknowledge importance of NPIs— of not educating abt ⬆️ #LongCovid risk in spite of vax—is reprehensible.
This is an informative article from Keiser on how Pfizer influenced US (and poss global) pandemic policy w/direct quotes from their executives to investors about the endless profits they’re making Bc of our failure to control it. khn.org/news/article/pfizer-…
