Every conspiracy theorist writing about Luigi Mangione is missing the most crucial piece of information: he was suffering from chronic Lyme disease. Lyme does strange shit to your mind. Spirochetes get into your brain, logical thinking is over. I speak from experience. cnn.com/2024/12/09/us/…

I’ve had Lyme disease twice, and I’m now 100% asymptomatic. The second case in 2014 was incredibly severe, but it was resolved in 4–6 weeks with an unorthodox but defensible approach: strict ketosis. 👇

NEW blog post is up! "How I Beat Lyme Disease with The Ketogenic Diet — Science, How-To Protocols, and 10+ Years of Zero Symptoms" I started writing this as a reply to @TheGregYang, co-founder of xAI, who recently stepped down from xAI to address his debilitating case of Lyme disease. Ultimately, I decided that a blog post could provide more detail and allow proofreading by credible scientists, so here we are. Before we dive in, a disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, nor do I play one on the internet. The following is for informational purposes only. Please consult with your doctor and read the warnings at the end. CONTINUE READING: tim.blog/2026/01/30/lym…

Tick Weaponization to be Investigated: A new law requires a review of military archives to determine whether Cold War tick weaponization contributed to today’s epidemic of tick-borne diseases. Releases of genetically modified, weaponized organisms can have long-lasting effects on the environment and human/animal health. Identifying where engineered organisms may have escaped into the environment could save lives and reduce long-term research and healthcare costs. If these microbes have been genetically altered, we need a more intelligent approach to disease control and treatment. buff.ly/rXaUfOB

@danaparish @Stevemac270 Exactly. I got bit by 2 Lone Star ticks while working on the set of Black Panther in 2017 in GA. Two YEARS later, I couldn't get out of bed for work. And two years after that, I started having seizures almost daily. It can take years to get so bad that your life is ruined.

@Stevemac270 If that is true, a few things to keep in mind. Not everybody gets infected/ sick with a bite. Though many do. There is also often a long latency period between bite and symptoms. You can be bitten a year ago and develop arthritis or dementia years later.

He’s correct. Lyme, alpha gal (red meat allergy) and RMSF are only scratching the surface. IMPORTANTLY, ticks often spread multiple diseases in one bite & MDs are not trained to look for them. The onus is on you to advocate for eval. Ticks are nature’s dirty needles 🪡 .

.@RepMGriffith: “Everybody knows about the big three — Lyme, alpha gal, Rocky Mountain spotted fever — my goodness there’s close to a dozen if not more [tick-borne] diseases, and I’m learning so much…That’s why this meeting today is so important, Mr. Secretary.”

Lyme disease affects nearly half a million Americans each year and has too often been dismissed, leaving patients without the care and validation they deserve. Under @SecKennedy, we’re changing that—affirming patient experiences and grounding our work in gold standard science. Decades of underfunded research have left families searching for answers, but today marks a turning point. The renewed HHS–LymeX partnership strengthens our fight against chronic disease through cutting edge technology, interdisciplinary collaboration, and patient-centered innovation. At @HHSGov our focus is clear—elevate patient voices and advance people-first, data-driven solutions that deliver real results.

🔥🔥🔥Last night Congress passed a critical amendment to investigate whether the U.S. military weaponized ticks with Lyme and other tick-borne diseases during the Cold War. Authored by Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ), it has been included in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26 NDAA) (S. 1071), which has cleared both chambers of Congress and is now headed to the President’s desk. “Smith’s amendments have been inspired in-part by the explosion of Lyme disease in New Jersey and Kris Newby’s book, Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons. The book includes in-depth interviews with and the personal files of Dr. Willy Burgdorfer—the federal researcher and U.S. bioweapons specialist credited with discovering Lyme disease—who later revealed that he and other bio-weapons specialists injected ticks with pathogens, in order to cause severe disability, disease, and even death to potential enemies in unsuspecting ways.” chrissmith.house.gov/news/documents… Why this important to the millions suffering from tick-borne diseases:👇

Neuroplasticity is quietly becoming the medicine of the future. For decades, chronic pain was treated as a mechanical problem. Yet thousands of patients with a “structural diagnoses” like disc herniation or degeneration, have recovered through brain-based treatments — often in a matter of weeks, not years. Skepticism makes sense. Every paradigm shift faces resistance before it becomes obvious. History tells us it takes about 100 years for a new scientific model to fully replace the old one. Dr. John Sarno introduced this mind-body pain model 41 years ago. Today, a growing body of neuroscience, clinical research, and real-world recoveries are validating what he saw before anyone else: The brain is not just responding to pain — it is actively producing it and sustaining it. Emotional processing was the foundation of John's theory. One maverick theory and four decades later, an entirely new paradigm is here!

Wow. Great paper explaining HOW Lyme disseminates throughout the body 2 hours after bite! 🤯 The whole “early treatment cures Lyme” goes out the window. Multiple studies show over 36% fail standard early treatment 👋🏼. This is bc the standard (2-3 wks doxy) is SO BAD & doesn’t treat for long enough to clear pathogen(s). Akin to 5 days of Paxlovid causing rebound/ persistence. (Under-treating covid causes it to go through a 2nd replication phase & the infection isn’t cleared!) TL;DR: Tick bite → nationwide infection → chronic disease = 2 hours 😵‍💫
Bay Area Lyme Foundation@BayAreaLyme

🚨 NEW @Nature paper explains how Lyme disseminates within 2 hours (!) & persists all over the body 1️⃣ Hour 2: Slips into lymph → spreads body-wide SILENTLY (before immune attack) 2️⃣Slides along collagen → no inflammation alarm 3️⃣Hides between cells: Pericyte fingers + membrane tunnels → invisible to immune cells 4️⃣Blood vessels blocked: Stays in tissues, avoids immune cleanup in bloodstream Result: Lyme seeds every organ (joints, heart, brain) ➡️ hides in pockets ➡️reactivates later

The Shoemaker CIRS protocol can make you miss critical factors: mold colonization, Lyme, bartonella, babesia, and heavy metals. I spent two years on it with zero progress before Neil Nathan addressed these overlooked contributors. Jordan Peterson had Shoemaker on his podcast a year ago and has only gotten worse since. For severe cases, the Shoemaker protocol is often insufficient—other factors must be considered.
Mikhaila Peterson@MikhailaFuller

Hey, as you know @jordanbpeterson has been really sick. A lot of people have been asking for updates so here’s one. He’s recovering slowly day by day but I won't lie, it's slow and scary. He won't be back for another few months at least, probably longer. We’re not entirely sure what’s going on but it looks like possibly severe CIRS and a LOT of bad luck. Or we’re getting spiritually attacked. Or both. To be perfectly honest, I think a lot of this is spiritual. My newborn Audrey almost died of heart failure for no reason in June, dad got sick and came to stay with us in July, then needed a hospital and the same day he went to the hospital by ambulance, my newborn turned blue (again) at home for a different reason not heart related and went a different hospital by ambulance. Within 3 hours of each other. It's been one thing after another in an otherworldly type of way. In the meantime, we'll be going full force with @petersonacademy, and keeping his message across his brand alive while he recovers. Not letting demons get in the way of that. Prayers are MUCH appreciated. Ephesians 6:12

"Prior to the mid-1970s, Lyme was not a noticeable public health problem. Then...a mysterious cluster of three previously rare and virulent tick-borne diseases emerged simultaneously in Lyme, CT, directly across the water from Plum Island, the US gov's primary animal disease bioweapons research facility."
Camus@newstart_2024

A chilling connection between a US biological weapons program and the Lyme disease epidemic has been detailed by journalist Kris Newby, author of "Bitten: The Secret History of Lyme Disease and Biological Weapons." The timeline and geography she presents are impossible to ignore. Prior to the mid-1970s, Lyme disease was not a noticeable public health problem. Then, Newby's research reveals, a mysterious cluster of three previously rare and virulent tick-borne diseases emerged simultaneously in Lyme, Connecticut—directly across the water from Plum Island, the US government's primary animal disease biological weapons research facility. The diseases were: • Lyme Arthritis (caused by the Borrelia spirochete) • A Rickettsia (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever) • Babesia, a cattle parasite rarely found in humans This triple emergence of novel pathogens at the epicenter of America's bioweapons research peak was a red flag. Newby states this is precisely the pattern that would trigger a high-level CDC investigation into a potential unnatural outbreak. The official story credits NIH researcher Willy Burgdorfer with discovering the Lyme spirochete. However, Newby's investigation suggests the response was atypically secretive. Instead of a call for urgent research, the complex, often chronic illness was minimized—reduced to a simple bite and a short course of antibiotics, a solution that has proven tragically insufficient for millions. The question posed is stark: Is the coincidence of geography and timing merely a conspiracy theory, or is Lyme disease a "highly likely militarily engineered bioweapon," as Newby has concluded? The evidence she presents suggests we have not been told the whole story of this modern plague.

In #mold illness, untreated sinus colonization can serve as a persistent #mycotoxin reservoir. Biofilm formation shields fungi from host immunity and antifungals, driving symptoms (brain fog, headaches, anxiety, sinus pain). Intranasal antifungals + biofilm disruptors (e.g., EDTA) are key to recovery. Source: drtoddmaderis.com/sinus-coloniza…

@krisnewby @useless_priest Yes and it often CFS, MCAS, hyper sensitivity to mold, EMFs, POTS--it all happened to me. And getting all that from a bug bite is just another reason why I know your book is the true reality of this situation.
