Subject: Re: Association of Persistent Symptoms after Lyme Neuroborreliosis and Increased Levels of Interferon-α in Blood

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Dear Dr. Drotrman,
As Editor-in-Chief of Emerging Infectious Diseases, please be informed that Professor Strle (corresponding author) has yet to respond to my inquiry from his manuscript published in your journal: "Association of Persistent Symptoms after Lyme Neuroborreliosis and Increased Levels of Interferon-α in Blood." Is this behavior supported/encouraged by the management team at Emerging Infectious Diseases?
While you contemplate a solution to my complaint please see the recent case study below (Journal of Clinical Review & Case Reports) identifying an asymptomatic carrier of Lyme disease as seen in other infections such as Chronic Hepatitis B and typhoid. Harvey and Salvato reported a similar observation in 2003 while those who have controlled the Lyme disease narrative (through circular reasoning of each other's outdated research) have been hell bent on keeping Lyme in the category of a low-risk and non-urgent health threat

‘Lyme disease’: ancient engine of an unrecognized borreliosis pandemic?https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306987703000604
Excerpt:
“The data suggest there may exist a much larger unrecognized pool of Bbsl-infected individuals sustained by persistent intra-human transfer that we provisionally call “Epidemic Borreliosis” Treatment modalities and schedules to eradicate B. burgdorferi from all patients regardless of infection route or duration must be created. If our experience holds, this will be a difficult task and will require serious and rapid commitment from all nations"

Lyme Disease And Blood Cancer: A Startling Connection Revealed In New Study
https://tickbootcamp.com/lyme-disease-and-blood-cancer-a-startling-connection-revealed-in-new-study/
-A groundbreaking study by renowned researcher Alan B. MacDonald reveals a hidden link between Lyme disease and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), a slow-growing blood cancer.
-The study found that some people had Borrelia (Lyme) infections in their blood for three years before being diagnosed with CLL, even though they didn’t have any symptoms.
-The study discovered new findings, such as Borrelia bacteria getting into both healthy and cancerous white blood cells, highlighting the need to better understand the connection between Lyme disease and other health issues for more accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Introduction: Uncovering a Surprising Connection Between Lyme Disease and Blood Cancer
Imagine the shock when a groundbreaking study, published in the Journal of Clinical Review and Case Reports on May 15, 2023, unveils a hidden link between Lyme disease and cancer. In the eye-opening research, “Invasion of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Bloodstream Tumor Cells by Borrelia Spirochetes,” renowned researcher Alan B. MacDonald reveals astonishing insights into the connection between Lyme disease and CLL, a slow-growing blood cancer.
The Study: Examining a CLL Patient with Borrelia Infections
In this study, Dr. MacDonald investigated the case of a 66-year-old woman with a family history of breast cancer and CLL. The patient had gradual onset of axillary lymph node enlargement (swelling of lymph nodes in her armpit area) in 2019, and subsequent tests confirmed a CLL diagnosis. Interestingly, the patient was found to have asymptomatic Borrelia (Lyme) infections in her bloodstream, including both Borrelia miyamotoi and Borrelia burgdorferi.
Findings: Lyme Infections Before CLL Diagnosis
The study found that the patient had Lyme infections in her blood without showing any symptoms three years before being diagnosed with CLL. Blood tests from 2016 using a special technique called Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) showed that Lyme bacteria were sticking to a special type of white blood cell that helps fight infections. In 2022, when the patient’s white blood cells turned cancerous, the tests still showed an ongoing infection with two types of Lyme bacteria (Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia miyamotoi).
