Petition updateAcute Inflammatory Response, Uveal Melanoma, or Lymphoma? R/O Rickettsiales (Wolbachia)
You WILL Need to Fight For Yourselves (Lawyer Up)

On Sunday, March 25th, 2018, I sent the following message to Senator Jeffery P. Tarte on Facebook messenger:
Guess someone has blocked all calls from Canada. Sad. But another Senator is looking into this.
Just published: Auburn U Cancer Cluster Research Funding Denied: https://www.change.org/p/oncologists-and-pathologists-acute-inflammatory-response-gbs-uveal-melanoma-or-lymphoma-r-o-rickettsiales-wolbachia/u/22550814
Senator Tarte replied (part shown in intro image):
Rose never heard from you. Watched the video and saw you tried to call. I only have one cell phone. 704-907-1421
Sorry fat fingers above - hit 9s instead of 0s.
Try me tomorrow Monday 26th between 7:30 am and 9:00 am as I will be driving to Raleigh.
P.S. Understand I do not determine which tests are to be ordered. Simply provided funding for DHHS and the town of Huntersville to do testing. Medical professional are the ones determining which test to perform. The town is simply administering payments of the grants to the medical professionals.
Know the research work here is close to finished.
If you want specific or additional tests performed which you think may be germane to our community you will need to speak to the medical team doing the research.
Take care, Jeff
My responses:
Well, Jeff, if you didn't know this, many medical professionals have a vested interest in the treatments for uveal melanoma. It makes them good money. Hence, I doubt they (perhaps not all of them) would rather NOT test for Wolbachia (and treat these people with antibiotics that could cure them). Best, Rose
Okay, I'm going broke trying to prove this needs to be tested for.... I am paying for studies that are behind paywalls. How about you give me the names of the "medical professionals" and their emails? I have reached out to some, but they have completely ignored me. Plus, I am not available between those hours tomorrow. Thank you in advance, R
Senator Tarte: I will pull a list together that is working on the Huntersville cluster. Retired opthamologist Dr. Mike Brennan from Greensboro is the lead.
Me: LOL, yes and he has heard from me four times. Please read my petition for the details.
His only two responses (ever) to me:
Hi Rose
The Daily Mail has inaccuracies but the reporter was certainly genuine. Happy to discuss Wolbachia—how do I speak with you?
mike
And, when I informed him I suffer considerable TMJ pain and prefer to correspond via email (as we had been doing), I never heard from him again.
Instead, a nurse spent hours deriding me online. This (his?) nurse, Elizabeth Olmstead McBride, informed me that "Dr. Brennan has apparently not felt there is enough evidence to investigate this further."
So, I confronted Dr. Brennan with this email:
Dr. Brennan,
How professional of you to have a nurse, Elizabeth Olmstead McBride, relay your message.
I suppose I was temporarily "accepted" into that group just so she would spend hours deriding me because I am not an MD and I do not hold a PhD.
I had no idea that MDs and those with PhDs were always right.
Gee, when I worked in ophthalmology, there were a couple of times that a general ophthalmologist (like yourself) missed something that I caught.
So here's what makes no sense:
It's a simple blood test.
I'm not asking for you to dig up soil samples from some nuclear waste site.
A simple blood test: a broad range PCR screen for infection by Rickettsiales.
We are beyond fortunate that Chen, Dong, et al. 2015 published their findings: http://www.clinicalmicrobiologyandinfection.com/article/S1198-743X(14)00040-8/fulltext
But, if you would rather remove the eyes of people in their 20s and 30s, then go ahead.
Eventually, other ocular oncologists and ophthalmologists WILL test for this and YOUR patients will have legal recourse since biopsy samples must be kept for (at least) five years.
Shame on you,
R. Webster
But, Dr. Brennan's last email to me was: "Unless I’m really aging fast, Have no knowledge of Elizabeth
Cross me off your mailing list please---"
Bottom Line: I hate to tell you all this, but doctors (in this case) do NOT have your best interests at heart (imo). You will need to obtain a court order to obtain ALL the testing you deserve.
I am a Canadian citizen and I cannot lawyer up for you. You will need to start seeking legal counsel (if you wish to find out definitely if Wolbachia is indeed the root cause of your uveal melanoma - and subsequent metastasis to the liver).
Sorry, not much more I can do. I am almost broke.
And, Senator Tarte has made ZERO effort in producing a list of "medical professionals" that I can email.
Sincerely,
Rose Webster
