Have you come across the theory that Lyme was yet another gift of our Deep State? That is, a leak from a military lab. Interesting view of things. This is the key source: https://krisnewby.substack.com/

Lyme can really wreak havoc on the liver, causing deficiencies in various liver products. This contributes to the wide ranging symptoms of Lyme.

For instance, carnitine is heavily impacted. Carnitine deficiency leads to everything from muscle weakness to depression.

My girlfriend suffers from post-Lyme disease, she supplements with carnitine, beta-alanine, creatine, red and black maca root. 2 times a week she takes K2-vitamin. Occasionally she takes taurine. Once she stops nursing, she will try methylene blue (Which is a potent mitochondrial enhancer).

She has a persistent infection, proven through her antibodies are so high for bb that she gets acute symptoms an hour after a tick bite.

Sorry to hear that - definitely an example of why I think this is a good target for vaccine (if the paradox of waning antibodies didn't pose a big problem)

In the case of my country, the biggest cause of the increase of tick bites has been an increase in deers and the like due to changes in hunting practices beginning in the 1970s. By optimizing hunting seasons, there is now a much larger population of deer than there has ever been, while at the same time the amount of hunted deer has greatly increased.

There is largely a 1:1 correlation between ticks and increases in their hosts. Here is a graph of hunted deer and the like in Denmark over the years. The population has actually been so high for a while that it has fallen due to disease burden.

Here's a novel thought ... reject all vaccines https://dissolvingillusions.com/

And instead do this:

- eat no sugar or processed foods

- limit alcohol intake and do not smoke

- instead of buying useless stuff to fill your garage use that budget to buy organic whole foods (you will also save on medical bills if you follow these recommendations... more $$$ for organics)

- no seed oils

- exercise regularly

- take supplements

- get proper rest

If you are against vaccines there is no way to be "for" having a tick inject Borrelia into you. It's literally the same concept except a nasty demon vampire trash insect is doing it. So pick your poison

I have no concern about ticks... that's about as likely as me winning a lottery (and I don't buy tickets)... but if it does...

My immune system that is super charged by clean organic eating, supplements, and exercise -- will deal with it.

BTW - I have not had so much as a sniffle since I upgraded an already healthy lifestyle to an extreme lifestyle...

And before that I had not been to a doctor for many years -- other than when I went to try to get Hydroxy during covid... and got booted out https://www.mixcloud.com/fasteddynz/confronting-doctor-re-vaccine-injuries/

The medical industry is a disgrace - as are the patients who refuse to stop stuffing KFC and Big Gulps down their voracious maws and demand pills for everything ... along with Ozempic injections.

Then they complain when the treatments f789 them up. Duh.

Even something as simple as scabies is impossible for the immune system to clear on it's own.

It can keep it in check, but you can never clear it without medical treatment.

Never had scabies... could be because I have a mega boosted immune system so it protects me.

In fact I have never had any sort of disease or ailment that required medical attention for literally decades.... I do not have a GP...

I'll stick to the Stoic Lifestyle... if I break my ankle I'll see a doctor.

"Immune system" isn't relevant to "not worried about Lyme / scabies" any more than it would be to "not worried about earthquakes." It's just a question of exposure - and "not exposed to earthquakes" isn't informative about earthquakes. I am no zoologist but I imagine that deer eat organic, get exercise. Doesn't seem to help them with deer ticks.

The surely every deer must carry the ticks... I've hunted deer a fair bit... handling the dead bodies... so surely I have been exposed... surely I must have something that is protecting me
