WINNIPEG — Two friends are riding their bikes across Canada to change the way Canadians see Lyme disease. At the beginning of May, Daniel Corso and Tanner Cookson set out on a journey to bring attention to the debilitating illness, which can be contracted after a bite from an infected tick.

Abstract During a 3-yr comprehensive study, 196 ixodid ticks (9 species) were collected from 89 passerine birds (32 species) from 25 localities across Canada to determine the distribution of avian-associated tick species and endogenous Lyme disease spirochetes, Borrelia burgdorferi Johnson, Schmid, Hyde, Steigerwalt, and Brenner. We report the following first records of tick parasitism on…
Paul Auwaerter and colleagues1 are among the handful of individuals who have controlled the Lyme disease research agenda for decades and ultimately which data have been reported. Why is it that, in my experience, many people in New Hampshire have been severely debilitated by Lyme disease or know someone who has, whereas Auwaerter and co-workers…

The American immigrant rodents already have previous convictions for decimating native red squirrel populations and damaging woodland by stripping bark from trees. Grey squirrels host the bacteria responsible…

Dr. Klighardt says Lyme is in all milk cows and found in all milk, even pasteurized:

“Unpasteurized milk. That’s a big one. Because pasteurizing milk makes it almost undigestible for most of us and not pasteurizing it is —- from all the cows that we ever tested – they were infected with Lyme Disease. You are not going to find a single cow in the US without having Ehrlichiosis, Babesia and Lyme Disease. I tested through a friend, a vet, many cows. He could not find a single one that is not infected. So cow’s milk has Lyme Disease in it. If you pasteurize it, most of the Lyme bugs die, not all of them, some of them in cysts, and you get the Lyme cysts and they survive into you. “
Paradoxically, some raw milk proponents have said that unpasteurized milk has fewer pathogens because of the cow’s own antibodies and natural milk enzymes which are killed by the pasteurization process.
