    I discuss why each person with bartonellosis presents with such different symptoms (hint: it's the host's immune response). I also discuss the difference between stealth and frontal pathogens and make comparisons to COVID.

    I've always said that I would respect bartonella for being very effective at its goal (to survive and multiply) by not killing its host immediately if I wasn't the host.
    also I'm really excited to read that article.

    Excellent video. Well done. I’m on round 4 of Bartonella clearance with Byron White herbs. Abart. Also using rife. Any suggestions?
    I have cancer. The current worst co-infection seems to be Bartonella. Using castor packs, sauna, coffee enigmas, high dose Vit C, high dose Niacin, and Vit D seems to clear a Herx reaction in a few days vs a month or 6 weeks. I’ll look at your other videos. Thanks! Praying for you.

      I unfortunately have not been able to treat due to severe MCAS but I am working on SIBO now to see if I make gains with my MCAS by doing that. I have a video on the treatment of bartonellosis on my channel if you would like to see the protocol that I intend on following. Sorry to hear of your suffering and wishing you the best! ❤️

  • @AVega-rx4px

    Perfect segue to suggest folks look into the difference between germ theory (largely Pasteur) and the work of Antoine Beauchamp (terrain theory).
    And at the risk of sounding like a broken record I wonder if you have explored other contributors to the MCAS such as mold exposure? Have you had HLA gene testing?

    • @BartonellaBabe
      @BartonellaBabe  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Mold is a sensitive topic for me lol. Long story short, we were taken for a ride by a mold company and we don't have a mold problem in this house. We did get a new HVAC with fancy air scrubber and we got air purifiers for the entire house (and air conditioning 🙌). I feel no better. Even if mold is part of my problem, which Dr. M and my other BLMD don't think it is, I wouldn't be able to tolerate the meds used to treat mold issues, at this time. However, if you have a good article to start on with HLA and mold, please comment it here! I got turned off to mold after that experience but enough time has passed to where I am ready to continue learning about it 😊

      @AVega-rx4px 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@BartonellaBabe I can sympathize deeply with this! There is not enough education around mold and how to properly assess a building. My recommendation is to find inspectors through ISEAI. (iseai.org/)
      Regarding HLA testing and how this may apply to you, here are some great articles: biotoxinjourney.com/deciphering-hla-dr-labs/ AND www.survivingmold.com/diagnosis/the-biotoxin-pathway
      One thing to keep in mind with mold is that if your HLA genes prevent you from detoxing then you will be carrying around a high toxic load from mold (even prior or periodic exposures) , lyme, bartonella, etc. Not to mention all the crud in our air and water, makeup, pharmaceuticals, etc. Assisting your body in detox is imperative. NIR sauna has been a game changer for me.
      A very well tolerated and gentle binder is Gpur (a purified clinoptilolite) and it can be purchased online without RX. I cannot recommend any other zeolites as I have not been impressed nor been given independent lab tests by other manufacturers. Gpur's founder and pharmacist/chemist is very helpful and will gladly answer your questions about their purification process. Activated coconut charcoal (Bulletproof) is also great. Binders are to be taken with sauna use.
      These were foundational to my healing even when I was very reactive and in my worst mast cell flares. I could tolerate the sauna in small amounts to begin with (5 minutes) and then worked my way up to 30-45 min.

    Thanks for these great videos. 🙂
    Just to ask regards your foot pain, did/do you experience neuropathy type pain in your feet ? I don’t have a diagnosis but it’s a possibility. Like you, after standing for a small amount of time I get lower leg, particularly shin pain. Also with shoes I get prickly/tingling/painful sensations throughout my feet. Also burning in these areas too. That can be any time though.
    I have other symptoms too including GI issues. I just seem to match a few of these known symptoms. 🧐

    • @BartonellaBabe
      @BartonellaBabe  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for watching! I do experience neuropathy in my hands and feet and actually all over. My foot pain, however, also includes 24/7 pain that feels like someone broke all the tendons in them. The only way to avoid this pain is by not being on my feet. Your foot and shin symptoms sound like they may be due to bartonellosis. GI issues are common in bartonellosis as well so if I were you, I would get evaluated by a BLMD, if you have not done so already 🙂

      Yes I have hand pain too. So the more I use them the worse they get.
      I’ve just started to work with a practitioner who said Bartonellosis is a possibility. Just waiting on some bloods to come back.

      Hi! Thanks for your question. I have tried ketotifen in two different formulations and I reacted poorly each time. Weirdly enough, I tolerate the ketotifen eye drops (Zaditor). Ketotifen can be a game changer for some and is one of the first meds to try after H1 and H2 blockers. It's definitely worth a try
