Most people never go to the doctor is not an accurate statement . Most people get sick and feel bad but doctors dismiss them, they continue to suffer

[@theantiqueactionfigure]

I went to the doctor for 20 years before I was finally diagnosed!

[@HighFiveFriend]

🙌 29:50 Herbal therapy. 57:52. It’s never just one. Adding this to my “Beat Lyme” playlist!

[@dollmck8360]

What about the possible use of methalyne blue or dmso to drive the herb into the cell,pharmaceutical grade of course? Salt also carries into the cells?celtic salt of course, why isn't anyone discussing these pathways into the cell? And is there a connection to beta amyloid plaque? Just curious

[@chdynomite]

I can't believe this video hasn't had more views. Excellent job Doc ! I think you hit everything on bartonella and explained everything in such detail so that a regular Joe can understand and relate. I've been sick with Bartonella and I've suffered from just about every symptom. My life has been destroyed and i can't seem to get any help from doctors. Now the bartonella is starting to damage my Kidney's. I really want to start taking herbs but I'm worried because i know some herbs can damage the kidneys

[@baileysice2715]

Did you get help? Did you heal yourself?

[@izreenfarah8689]

Hi, what symptoms did you have with bartonella infection? I had conjuctivitis out of nowhere in july 2023 together with flea bites from my cat. I started having weird heart symptoms daily even there is no trigger, no anxiety attack, but i always have high resting pulse rate, tachycardia, heart palpitations, heart pounding hard, racing heart since i had conjuctivitis and flea bites. The bite marks were similar to one with bartonella henselae infection but doctor never test for this. I always have panic attacks when my heart rate is high, and it seems that i will never solve even i took beta blocker. Because doctor just focused on my thyroid issue, thus doctor dismissed this infection. I am suffering with heart symptoms daily since july 2023 😢

[@user-rn3hn2fj4p]

Thank you for all your wonderful knowledge. I prayed for healing today and I found your video. Been struggling with chronic Lymes 20 years even after being treated 6 months with antibiotics. This Lymes also being complicated by my genetic Celiac condition. I do believe my prayers have been answered. 💜🙏💜

[@carolynhamilton9728]

Dr. Rawls I was bitten 12 Years ago. My. Co infections were Babesiosis and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever infections. My LLMD killed off both of those the first 3 years I saw him. My Lyme was high. So, basically I only had Borrellia to fight off. One move to a rural area where Lyme Literate physicians don't exist. Lost touch with my LLMD and my LLND My question is this; if you have been confirmed positve with Lyme Disease and my co infections are gone. Does a feral stray cat bite that tested positive at Igenex for 2 strains of Bartonella, have the same symptoms as a tick bite with Bartonella? I haven't really treated Bartonella... At the same time I realized a black mold exposure and mentioned it to my LLND who had began the successfull treatment for my Lyme Neuroborlios in the 1st three weeks I did pulsed iv Ceftriaxone. I'm finding myself stuck in that house that filled with Mycotoxins. I keep re- inhaling those mycotoxins, that house hasn't been inspected, hasn't been cleaned and the owner can't afford the remidiatian. Suddenly I have not just Lyme Disease, but Lyme + Mycotoxin illness + Bartonella. I think I might just be done with it. All the doors that open seem to slam shut. Over & over again. Living in a stressful situation doesn't help. Anyway, I was curious what I should be doing for the Bartonella? So far I've been on Azithromycin. I have some really good supplements that I paid $$$$ for, I'm lost. The whole black mold exposure and my "off the charts" positive for Mycotoxins took over and I couldn't eat. I have no idea how what why Bartonella does to a human? Do the cats have symptoms?.I'm highly allergic to cats and roommate keeps bringing them inside

[@carolynhamilton9728]

Thanks for any help or direction

[@billbosely1158]

Wow this really helped a lot I got diagnosed with lupus four ago now I believe I do have bartonella it’s put in a wheelchair and now I’m desperately trying to get my life back

[@debraderr6359]

One size/one method does not fit all. That is unfortunately what causes such frustration in finding a treatment modality. Thank you for such great info 😀

[@signe1880]

I show having it. Dr. felt it was a past issue, but I started getting really sick with painful arthritis AFTER getting bitten. The recovery has been hard.

[@codiannsmith]

Does anyone know if bartonella causes premature ventricular contractions? Ive had thousands per day before. I had an echocardiogram and was told its normal but then he said he saw some thickening (maybe) in my valve but he didnt for sure say so? Idk. So confusing! I only had very high IGG antibodies on the vibrant tick test.

[@jeanniejobe973]

Is there a reason I don't hear teasel being brought up and how about cleavers for the lymph system? These are what my husband is taking and he seems to be already seeing improvements after only about 10 days

[@jessicamadrid5799]

Good gut health and strengthening the immune system is the key focus for most illness. Allowing our bodies natural defenses to do their job is our best shot against bacterias, bad microbes, viruses, etc!

[@deborahakey9308]

I take 6,000 mg of Unrefined salt & 6,000 mg of Vit. C every day. I got up to 15,000mg of each but the hex’s were out of this world!! Had to back off.

[@franciscafazzo3460]

Why

[@monicali2608]

Wonderful video! Good description of the bacteria and where and what they do. No promotion of expensive cures or tests. Also mention which herbs are useful. Not ten videos needed.

[@rachels1845]

Great video! What about lemon balm and oil of oregano? Can you use Chinese skullcap and Japanese knotweed at the same time, or should they be alternated?

[@tamiwigginton7137]

Although these videos are very helpful, we can watch these all day long... you know insurance doesnt cover this stuff!! You have to have a lot of money to go through this treatment!!!

[@waleedkhalid7486]

I wonder if this is the actual cause of so called ‘chronic Lyme ‘. Obviously it could be anything, but tests for Lyme come up negative in those patients, but they suffer from long term problems, maybe due to co-infection by something that dodges treatments? It would explain why antibiotics help those with chronic Lyme, but why they don’t seem to get better for several years despite antibiotics.

[@Meenadevidasi]

Wow! Thank you.

[@melissafarrugia9531]

Fantastic job on this presentation of information thanks very much

[@jessehall7810]

Thank you so much

[@kathylee7826]

I took notes!

[@vanwhalen3719]

Wow! When I am having a flare up, what I assume is partly a histamine flare up my right eye twitches sometimes and is blurry!

[@pinkertondom_7442]

Which protocol is best for Bartonella ?

[@oceanwoods]

I also recommend Woodland Essence as a source for tinctures and herbs. Highest quality and effective medicines.

[@Jojoma449]

Which would be good for bartonella

[@minouagah8280]

Can methlyin blue help

[@lelamoore7178]

thank you

[@staceya9580]

Do you think bartonella can cause artery tortuosiy? I test positive for Lyme AB, but is was ignored as well as history of a bite in Greece/Turkey when malaria was a big problem. The bite site has never disappeared and continues to grow 26 years later.

[@deborahakey9308]

So many homeless in Santa Cruz, California have it it’s a pandemic!!!

[@marerhart314]

🙏🏼🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@tapangasoul6928]

Is japanese knotweed a stimulant or relaxant on the nervous system? Does it have any known affects on neuro transmitters?

[@midcoastprepper3495]

You might get an answer in 8-10 years. Best of luck.

[@deborahakey9308]

I don’t care what I take if I die I’m already dying it’s gone to my heart & all my organs!!!!

[@loiswest1353]

That's how I feel.

[@mariecote3412]

I am there with you 💕 impossible to find help. How on earth should we take when you don't exactly know what you have? It's torture and worse than a horror movie 😢

[@izreenfarah8689]

How are you now? Have you recover from this infection? It has been a year i have unresolved heart racing, heart palpitations, heart pounding hard, panic attacks after i had flea bites (from my cat) and conjuctivitis in july 2023. Doctor didn't believe what i said and wrote a referral letter to see a psychiatrist.

[@suziehartwright]

Thank you.

[@thatpart]

Bill Rawls, after his tenure with the Baltimore PD, took a job with the State of Maryland and later became a doctor.

[@KATEB33ful]

I'm trying to resolve arthritis from Lyme. Nothing work.

[@jamesmcmahonii8433]

If you haven't already check your MMP9 markers. It's inflammatory. See an RA as Doxy can be used as an MMP9 inhibitor. It destroys collagen.

[@auntiebarnes]

I've had great luck with IV vitamin C. After 40+ years of arthritis, remission. It took a few years of 2 IVs a week but worth it.

[@rachelross5829]

Look into ivermectin

[@tdubbs934]

Hemp leaf tea

[@DavidLee-qd7fw]

Try low oxalate

[@theantiqueactionfigure]

Anyone had their symptoms flare after taking the vax?

[@minouagah8280]

Please let me know if the test for it and treatment i think I am suffering from and dying

[@deborahakey9308]

What’s that white stuff (like sleep but NOT) from the eyes???? Is it protein???

[@lloydh464]

Does one need to stay on these herbs indefinitely?

[@deborahakey9308]

How do u get the black fiber”die-off” out from under my skin??? They won’t come out!!!!

[@maritmoerbeek6446]

Does a RH - or + have influence if you get sick?

[@minouagah8280]

If the sand fly was a culprit us there any treatment for it?

[@peterjowyk637]

My disabled daughter has CHRONIC BARTONELLA ELIZABETHAE. IF SHE DOES NOT GET TINCTURE TREATMENT BECAUSE SHE LIVES IN A STATE RUN FACILITY( THEY ONLY BELIEVE IN ANTIBIOTICS), CAN MORE DAMAGE BE DONE TO HER NEUROLOGICAL, NERVOUS AND MENTAL SYSTEMS? THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY.

[@freeaudiobooks7469]

Yes, biotics are in the brain. Anti bio Means to kill life

[@jennieelizabeth6141]

I have bart Elizabeth too what is ur daughters symptoms?

[@jamesmcmahonii8433]

Ha. Bad health. 4x torn meniscus 2x torn hip labrum 2x torn shoulder labrum 1x torn bicep 2x torn rotator cuff (1 retore a year after successful prp) 1x torn PTT 2x torn gluten 2x torn hamstrings Tremors in hands, muscle spasms in legs and shoulders. Memory? Ha. Learning disability developed. Gait malfunctioning. Chronic cough. HBP. This is at 39. At 38 I was playing hockey, hiking, farming, skiing, snowmobiling and playing with my dogs and daughter. Negative for lyme on CDC WB. Equivocal on 4 bands on Euro WB. High MMP9 and VEGF. Negative for coinfections. For all I can tell the immune system isn't making anti bodies against coinfections and I have them anyway.

[@jamesmcmahonii8433]

Rage, depression, poor balance, my teeth! Wrecked despite regular brushing. When I was diagnosed with HBP in 2018 I was eating the healthiest and training regularly. Sleep studies to identify why I was so damn exhausted.

[@minouagah8280]

Can I talk Yoshimura directly

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

You are a Doctor,, Why didn't you test for it? 😮

[@deborahakey9308]

It’s THE GUT detox detox detox!!!!!

[@jammusique]

Why wouldn't you have tested yourself for these microbes 15 years ago?

[@YesPlease1]

Because he knows that every tick bite transmits the microbes, and he knows he's been bitten. So he already knows the outcome of the test, if it's accurate, or her gets an inaccurate test result. Either way it seems like the testing is a wasted effort.

I wonder if phage therapy is help.

[@kevywilliams3304]

How are we supposed to get all those herbs … lol basically EAT NATURE IS THE ANSWER !

[@marivibarnes920]

Lyme herbs is a polish company. The sell all the protocol herbs.

[@mariecote3412]

Didn't do anything for me, I guess because I have too many co infections. Told my story to this Lyme war guy, never got a reply. He doesn't know much about co infections.

[@monicali2608]

@@mariecote3412 Look in the dr Eric Berg videos and the comments. There is one from two years ago where a lot of other plants and advises are given. The plants work better if cut out carbs of your diet for are while and the bacteria feed on them. When they are weakened the body can fight them with the herbs.
