Lyme Disease is The New Syphilis

Before the advent of antibiotics, syphilis was one of the most common infections in the Western World, afflicting up to 10% of the adult populations. In 1927 Julius Wagner-Jauregg was given the first and only Nobel Prize awarded to a psychiatrist. This was for work done in 1917 in which Wagner-Jauregg had exposed three neurosyphilitic patients to malaria drawn from the blood of a wounded soldier. The resulting high fever killed the syphilis bacterium, leading to their recovery! Given that there were few cures for anything in 1917, Wagner-Jauregg’s achievement was a milestone in psychiatric and medical science. There was now a reliable, albeit risky, cure for neurosyphilis. When I went to med school there was a saying: “To know syphilis is to know medicine,” […] Read More

2004: Plum Island, Lyme Disease And Operation Paperclip – A Deadly Triangle

From Patricia Doyle, PhD dr_p_doyle@hotmail.com 8-21-5 Hello, Jeff – This is an excellent historical documentation of Plum Island’s history even before it became the USDA Plum Island. The history goes back to operation paperclip and to PROVEN tick research on Plum Island dating back to the 1950s. Plum Island also worked with lone star ticks. …I wondered how lone star ticks from Texas would get to my backyard in NY. The ticks had some help, i.e. germ scientists…and Plum Island.

The Hidden Cause of Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases

PLEOMORPHIC MICROBES The Hidden Cause of Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases Walter Last For nearly a century we had increasingly strong evidence for a common microbial cause of cancer and autoimmune diseases but now we also have visual proof. A newly developed research microscope can show us in great detail what happens in the blood of individuals who develop these diseases. What it shows is that the key for understanding their cause and cure is the rise, or perhaps better the uprising, of an endogenous microbe in the blood. Based on the work of Louis Pasteur in the late 19th century the scientific community adopted the concept of monomorphism. This means that microbes always maintain their basic shape as virus, bacterium or fungus. The term pleomorphism, on the […] Read More
