Seasonal Greeting

Seasonal greetings from us all as we wish everyone a Peaceful Christmas, a Happy New Year, and without further delay, an honest and meaningful progression towards a turning point for good health in 2022.

SEASONAL GREETINGS

The events of 2020 brought to even sharper focus our charity position and purpose. The need for vigilance and recognition of all zoonotic infectious diseases must not be underestimated..    The consequences of inertia have been laid bare this year with the Coronavirus gaining advantage in multitudes of ways and affecting multitudes of people.   With parallels, a timely reminder is that endemic vector-borne diseases prove to be equally perilous, especially when endemic attitudes of complacency by health agencies and mainstream medicine permit and persist.    Seasonal greetings from us all as we wish everyone a Peaceful Christmas, a Happy New Year, and without further delay, an honest and meaningful progression towards a turning point for good health in...

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE : A CHRONIC INFECTION

Herbert B. Allen DOI: 10.9734/bpi/mono/978-81-947979-7-5   ABSTRACT During the past few years, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been shown to be a chronic infection originating with a spirochete. These spirochetes form biofilms like most other microbes; moreover, in large measure, the biofilms contribute to both the chronicity and the pathogenesis of the disease. Once in a biofilm, the microbes become undetectable and resistant to the immune system and to antibiotics. Stroke, diabetes, nicotine, haloperidol, diet soft drinks, and others have all been shown to cause worsening of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) by their impact on biofilms. Penicillin, administered before the spirochetes form biofilms, would very likely prevent the disease. Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease; cause; treatment.   2020_BP_5781D-Complete...

BABESIOSIS AND TICK-BORNE ENCEPHALITIS IN UK

Public Health England have found two cases of serious tick- borne co-infections in the UK –  how clever of them, but how odd that many patients have been telling them for decades that they have been infected with Babesiois in the UK, but had to go abroad for testing to have it properly identified.   TBE too, there must be plenty of UK cases of TBE (tick-borne encephalitis) not recognised as such, but merely labelled as ‘encephalitis of unknown cause’.              Why, when PHE knew that TBE was in Thetford Forest in July 2019, did they fail to tell the public straight way, and only announce its existence 3 months later in October 2019 – heads in the sand, or utter dereliction of duty?  ...
