Lyme Kills Washington DC Rally May 2013

SUMMARY

Lyme disease, or neuroborreliosis, has left millions of people to suffer when it becomes chronic or late stage. Lyme disease is rarely the only infection patients have after becoming ill. People with Lyme often carry a variety of co-infections and become prone to latent viral and opportunistic infections. 

Due to lipoproteins shed by Lyme spirochetes, a large number of people who have this debilitating disease often end up with an impaired immune system that is unable to keep reactivated viruses and opportunistic infections at bay.

Lipoproteins that are shed by spirochetes are ignored by both the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines that are used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS).  These facts are missing in their case definitions of Lyme disease. Victims of this outcome are frequently misdiagnosed or denied any diagnosis or proper treatment.

The only CDC-sanctioned Lyme disease testing is ANTIBODY based. People whose immune systems are damaged (immunosuppression) don't produce the required antibodies to attain a positive CDC test.

The currently used “Dearborn” case definition was put in place in 1994, when the now-failed Lyme vaccine (LYMErix) was in the clinical trial stage.

For the LYMErix vaccine, the CDC used OspA/Pam3cys (a highly acylated lipoprotein, TLR2/1 agonist; triacylated, that's also shed by the organisms that cause Lyme disease) and it caused adverse events. These adverse events led vaccine injured patients to have symptoms that looked exactly like what we know as "chronic Lyme disease" or "post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). Same as being bitten (injected) by a tick.

Definition

In the Lyme world, there are currently two different definitions of Lyme disease. The ILADS model, and the IDSA model do not take into account the mechanisms of disease as demonstrated by the LYMErix debacle. They both fail to address the key mechanisms of the disease: Immunosuppression.  

  1. The IDSA (1994 CDC falsified "Dearborn" still being used today)
     
  2. The ILADS definition Lyme Disease Basics for Providers: A Brief Primer by International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society.

Both IDSA and ILADS portray Lyme disease as a treatable infection, when in actuality only 50% respond to treatment, and usually is only a temporary improvement in symptoms. These definitions keep millions sick, many disabled, and for some shortens their lifespan. These definitions also are preventing proper diagnosis for millions of current and future tick-borne illnesses.

Here is the Science Behind Why a Lyme Vaccine Will Harm:

  • The new #Lyme #Vaccine will cause injuries.  It still has #Pam3Cys on it.  Every vaccine made with triacylated lipoproteins has failed in the same exact way.  "Pretreatment of WT macrophages with Pam3Cys, a TLR2-TLR1 agonist, ablated p-p38 and p-JNK in response to challenge with Pam3Cys and LPS, whereas IRAK4(KDKI) macrophages exhibited attenuated TLR2-elicited homo- and heterotolerance at the level of MAPK activation. Thus, IRAK4 kinase activity is not required for the induction of endotoxin tolerance but contributes significantly to TLR2-elicited homo- and heterotolerance."
  •  "Toll-like receptors (TLRs) trigger innate immune responses via the recognition of conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns. Lipoproteins from Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, activate inflammatory cells through TLR2 and TLR1. We show that stimulation of human monocytes with B. burgdorferi lysate, lipidated outer surface protein A, and triacylated lipopeptide Pam3CysSerLys4 results in the up-regulation of both TLR2 and TLR1 but the down-regulation of TLR5, the receptor for bacterial flagellin, and that this effect is mediated via TLR2. TLR4 stimulation had no effect on TLR2, TLR1, and TLR5 expression. Human monocytes stimulated with TLR5 ligands (including p37 or flaA, the minor protein from B. burgdorferi flagella) up-regulated TLR5. In addition, TLR2 stimulation rendered cells hyporesponsive to a TLR5 agonist. These results indicate that diverse stimuli can cause differential TLR expression, and we hypothesize that these changes may be useful for either the pathogen and/or the host.
  • "The OspA and OspB antigens were radioimmunoprecipitated from [3H]palmitate-labeled detergent-phase proteins with monoclonal
    antibodies, and [3H]palmitate was recovered unaltered from these proteins after sequential alkaline and acid
    hydrolyses. The combined results provide formal confirmation that the major B. burgdorferi immunogens
    extracted by Triton X-114 are lipoproteins. The demonstration that B. burgdorferi integral membrane antigens
    are lipoproteins may explain the basis of their immunogenicity and may help to improve our understanding of
    the surface topology of B. burgdorferi.
  • "The data suggest a role for the native protein in cellular activation by these ligands. In addition, TLR2-dependent responses were seen using whole Mycobacterium avium and Staphylococcus aureus, demonstrating that this receptor can function as a signal transducer for a wide spectrum of bacterial products. We conclude that diverse pathogens activate cells through TLR2 and propose that this molecule is a central pattern recognition receptor in host immune responses to microbial invasion."

The main ingredient in the Lyme vaccine is OspA which is the very same thing that makes people chronically ill from a tick bite. You cannot vaccinate with or against OspA - a fungal-like endotoxin.

Just ask the many victims of LYMErix (1998-2001) who were made chronically ill.There’s plenty of FDA testimony to this effect. See link above: "LYMErix Vaccine Victim's Stories~FDA Jan. 2001"

SHORT VERSION of “the disease is caused by the vaccine.” Lyme and LYMErix disease = same post-sepsis syndrome. --  article by janmusinskiearthlinknet on 5 Jul 2018 for Cryme Disease blog.

Lyme Disease, Persistence, and Immunosuppression 

Peer Reviewed Evidence of Persistence of Lyme Disease Spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi and Tick-Borne Diseases 

It is important for people to understand WHY Lyme disease is persistent.

First priority to open up the floodgates so all Lyme victims can receive proper recognition, proper disability evaluations, and adequate treatments:

1. REMOVAL of the falsified Lyme disease case definition AKA "Dearborn" -1994, which would eliminate the fraudulent two-tier Lyme testing (which misses most neurological Lyme patients).

2. DEMAND a criminal investigation, a congressional hearing and a prosecution. 

3. FIGHT for proper treatment and compassionate care along with May12.org.
