I've cried harder than I knew that I could. Thank you all so much for giving me the feeling of not being completely alone for a while.

[@BLR653]

Jack's story is all of our stories.... god bless him and his mother. You won because you refused to give up. Good for you.

[@kevinfitzgerald7474]

I'm happy for anyone that get the right help and gets better from any of these tick diseases and or environmental illnesses because I still don't know where to begin still and don't have the energy to do anything.

Jack and Amy, thanks for sharing your story. Keep up the good work!

[@keithgeraghty5247]

excellent interview - wonderful interviewer, nice style, great questions - God bless this mom for finding out so much, she is more of an expert than many doctors

[@BartonellaBabe]

That she is! And she takes that expertise into her advocacy work

[@matthewphillips3926]

Not many moms would put their heart and soul into medical research of their kids illness, she is something special

[@BartonellaBabe]

Agree!

Hi! Someone on the Healingwell Lyme forum just posted about this video, so I watched it. This is a fantastic video! Thank you so much for putting this on KZbin. I am not on F’book, so I don’t have access to those groups. So thankful that Jack is getting his life and health back! Amy, you are a rock of a mom and an amazing person! The lady conducting the interview did an excellent job. Very well done👍. God bless you all🙏

[@BartonellaBabe]

Thank you so much for watching! And yes Amy never gave up and Jack is so lucky that Amy is his mom. Make sure to check out the other interviews and “edutainment” videos on Bartonella on my channel 😉

Amazing story Im happy for them. I got sick when I was 24 I’m now 26 and just found out two months ago I have bartonella after being told I didnt have anything. Currently on meds so fingers crossed 🤞

[@BartonellaBabe]

Yes! Amy did not freaking give up! Jack is very lucky in that regard. Maybe not so lucky with that cat scratch 🥴

[@PyMoondra]

I’m surprised doctors couldn’t pick it up. We need better ways to diagnose these diseases. There are so many who probably haven’t been diagnosed properly.

[@Cajunmamaw]

Such a great interview. I suffer bart and see the other Lyme doctor in Louisiana. I also use Buhners book. Appreciate you sharing Prayers for more research and cure.

[@BartonellaBabe]

Sorry to hear you're suffering from Bartonella but I'm glad you appreciated this interview. Amy is doing great work to get more research for Bartonella. Wishing you health ASAP

[@Cajunmamaw]

@@BartonellaBabe you as well honey. God bless and heal you asap. The mcas and the bartonella. I pray you will be out there enjoying your life to the fullest real soon!!

[@annettecosta5948]

My 12 year old daughter and I both have suffered through Bartonella due to a car scratch. Horrible headaches, very large, swollen and painful lymph nodes in the neck and fatigue. My daughter is much better. I took her to the Dr for what looked like an absess on her eyelid. Turns out it was actually where she was scratched by one of our new kittens (we had 6 cats at the time, 3 of them being newborn kittens). I am still fairly sick. Our Physician was not educated about Bartonella so she spoke with a pediatric infectious disease specialist after a full round of Clindamycin, a very strong antibiotic. The specialist sent in a script for Doxycycline and that did the trick. I just started the same medication and am praying for some relief soon. Bartonella is such an unknown disease and it’s nice to know we are not the only ones who suffer from this.

[@BartonellaBabe]

So sorry to hear of your family's struggles but it sounds like you got onto therapy pretty quickly, which I think can make the healing process a little easier. Chronic bartonellosis is not recognized by mainstream medicine and is so difficult to treat for many reasons but there is hope!

[@dawnsargeant3308]

Ty for sharing. Glad you are doing better! I believe my son has this he has the same marks on his back

[@blossomwithlotus]

Ahhh wow! Jack's story is heart touching, what a journey, and he looks so healthy and happy now, so great to see! :) I have been dealing with, undiagnosable health symptoms since I was a child, and I was also scratched by a stray cat, at age 6, bit by a dog, etc. it feels sooo likely that I have been dealing with this Bartonella H. bacteria, I am so grateful to finally be getting some answers, thank you god! I am wondering, if you know of any specialist doctors on the West Coast, that would be good to go and see to assist me in diagnosing this, I know diagnoses and testing can be quite challenging at times, does anyone know of a good doctor on the West Coast? I am in CA. Thank you all so much, Visualizing healing for all of us, and around this issue!

[@lloydh464]

I sure hope this young lady is doing well. Jake....you doing well?

[@avivapeltin]

Just rewatching this as I wait for my TLab results and try to remain hopeful. It is giving me the dose of hope I need, so thanks! Also, I have decided that your celebrity lookalike is Lily Collins!

[@BartonellaBabe]

You know what’s funny? I had never gotten that until Roger/Andrew from our group told me that and then the front desk woman from my doctor’s office and now you! A few months ago, I contoured my nose, cheeks, and lips to look more like hers and brought my eyebrows in a bit and it was weird (and fun!) When I used to die my hair blond, I would get Hayden Panettiere. Hoping for some clarity from your Tlab test!

[@avivapeltin]

@@BartonellaBabe Jake in Paris! hahah. Thank youuu! Sent it in last week, and I'm like, "Has it been 3.5 weeks yet?"

[@BartonellaBabe]

Hahaha I died at Jake in Paris. I could go for kissing that hot guy lol. I know it’s going to be a long three weeks

[@NikolayValtchanov]

Hey, how does one get that test done these days? Is it only certain docs that have early relationships there? The site looks really basic.

[@BartonellaBabe]

Any doctor can order a test from them. Best to call/email them any questions. If you’re in our Facebook group, someone might be able to answer your questions who has had their doctor order recently

[@FrancuAdrian]

the kid is lucky he has such a great mother beside him and that he tolerated so much to get better. Some of us don`t stand to take clarithromycin for 2 days. What are our options?

Hi. I also have positive test results for bartonella (among borrelia, babesia and ehrlichia), and my bone markers are very off (alk. phos., NTx, P1NP). Did you also have those markers of high bone turnover? Thanks for sharing your story.

[@shredgnar]

Great job putting out these videos really really helpful. I do wish there were more details on the exact treatment esp. in regards to dosing. I've been using the biaxin rifampin combo with methylene blue to very encouraging results so far at 4 months.

[@BartonellaBabe]

Thank you so much for watching. Are you part of our Breaking Down Bartonella FB group? Lots of info there and people talking about dosaging etc. I know some people really hate FB but you could make one just for the group. Glad to hear you're making progress!!

[@shredgnar]

@@BartonellaBabeok thanks for the info! I might have to join. I've tried to avoid social media with this illness it was too demoralizing and the vibe is always so black.

[@wplants9793]

I have to second that FB groups can be really helpful…the only reason I use FB is for the Lyme Warrior group. I too despise social media so of course if it’s not right for you I totally understand that.

Iv had this for over 30 years a few years ago l got tested by a homeopath and tested positive for Lyme rocky mountain spotted fever. UK tests were negative. Atm l can't walk. I have never been believed. There's no proper testing nor can l find or afford treatment. I'm a single mum iv tried many things. I had to give up work as a nurse over 20 years ago. My children are sick too l have no way to beat this and as no one has ever believed me l have no support iv been on Lyme disease support groups before and l can't afford it the NHS don't want to know me they treat me like a leper so l just live with it. I hate it pain in my feet makes me cry my knees hurt it's relentless it's got worse over the years

[@advanceddentremoval]

Hi bart babe! Looking good keep up the good work 😉thanks for putting these vidz out. I just found out i have Bartonella, im not the biggest fan of antibiotics but i know they might be Necessary for something like this but I would like to try the natural route first. Do you know what would be the strongest herbs to tackle this? Im heading to LymeStop next week if that don’t work im going to try the herbs then if neither of those plans work out i plan on hitting it hard with the antibiotics. Whitch are the strongest for this infection?

[@BartonellaBabe]

I'm no expert on herbs but lots of people try Buhner's herbs or some modification of his protocol. I guess I would say I hear the most about Japanese Knotweed and Sida Acuta. Dr. M is also using Allimed (allicin extract from garlic) with success in some patients. As far as antibiotics go, I plan on doing what Jack did in this video, which is Dr. M's protocol. If you want to hear more about other people's experiences with herbs, I suggest you join our Breaking Down Bartonella Facebook group

[@wplants9793]

Have you read Buhners book on Bartonella? It’s called Healing Lyme Co-infections: Bartonella and Mycoplasma. All the supplements and herbs are in there with doses.

[@susanfischer6155]

Thank You for your Work and sharing the videos with us! 2). “Susan” is my alias 3) Amy is so knowledgeable 4 ?? Noted Jack was asked about getting around in a wheelchair and he indicated that he didn’t actually use one so ~ how soon in Bartonellosis can mod of us anticipate needing a wheelchair?

[@BartonellaBabe]

Hi Susan. I would say most people with bartonellosis don't end up needing a wheelchair unless pain or fatigue is so bad that they can't walk

[@amykempy]

He did actually use a wheelchair, just not at school. That's what he meant by that in the context of that statement. He was homebound from school while he needed the wheelchair which is why he didn't actually use it at school. Not everyone with Bartonellosis needs a wheelchair, for sure.

[@TaniamarieThomas]

Ami renember crying for help i couldnt see but medical wiuldnt help us 😢

[@JC-ly8pz]

Can you find people to interview that covers Is the psychological aspects of bartenella? I'm curious because I used to have serious anger issues growing up and I'm starting to wonder if this was the cause

[@BartonellaBabe]

I will certainly try! We do know that Bartonella can affect the brain because bartonellosis is a small vessel vasculitis and the white matter of the brain has bad collateral flow

[@JC-ly8pz]

@@BartonellaBabe I was in special ed from 3 to 5 grade because of anger issues and Im really starting to believe it was caused by an infection of bartonella. We have a problem of excessive sweating in the family that runs back to my grandmother on my father's side. I think this has been passed down for 3 generations.

[@ashleylala4293]

People really need to be more aware of the diseases cats can spread. I’m pretty sure I got Bartonella when I was a kid from a kitten that we adopted from the barn where my horse was boarded. It’s caused a lifetime of problems for me. If I could go back in time, I would have never adopted that cat. She was very high strung and scratched me very aggressively all the time. Eventually my mom had to give her away. If I had known about bartonella, toxoplasma, etc I would have left that kitten in the barn. Definitely not worth it.

What is the reason that Everyone scratched by a cat or bitten by a cat flea infected with Bartonella?

[@BartonellaBabe]

So the reason that not everyone that gets scratched by a cat or bitten by a cat flea is because not every cat flea is infested with Bartonella and some people's immune systems can fight off the infection better than other people's. I hope that answers your question?

[@stevecrim4557]

Jake - am I seeing correctly that you have a Facebook group??? The BB group deleted my post sharing the above video and censored my post questioning it. Here is the last sentence I shared with their supreme leader: " My family has seen enough one sided close minded doctors - we don't need that same treatment from a FB group."

[@BartonellaBabe]

yes! Just admitted you. I saw what Matt wrote. Several months ago he took offense to the name "Bartonella Babe" and thought I was just doing my channel for stardom 😂 I would hardly call less than 800 subscribers stardom! Never mind all the research I do and the fact that I'm still very sick. I politely defended myself and he then blocked me from the group. Then I made my own group and Amy came along and so did Kathleen. He has been very rude to all of us, which does a disservice to people in his group. I never particularly wanted to have to make my own group but it has turned out for the better. Our group is focused on the science 😊 ahhhh Facebook drama!

[@stevecrim4557]

@@BartonellaBabe I had been a member of that group for a long time until today that is. Guess Matt wants to look and feel important despite the harm he may be doing by censorship.
