Bartonella: The Epidemic You’ve Never Heard Of, Part 2
This is the second installment of a three-part series on Bartonella, bacteria that are being linked to a wide variety of ailments – many of them chronic, and some of them life-threatening. In part one, we talked about what Bartonella is, and its growing recognition as a potentially wide-ranging and serious infectious disease. Part two will cover the wide array of transmission vectors and illnesses associated with the bacteria, and part three will review the current state of the research and recommendations for the future. https://news.ncsu.edu/2012/05/bartonella-2/
Bartonella, Uncovering the ‘Stealth Pathogen’
Dr. Ed Breitschwerdt is an expert on infectious diseases and a doctor of veterinary medicine. He also finds himself on the front lines of a quiet but growing epidemic. Bartonella is a bacteria most commonly associated with cat scratch disease, which until recently was thought to be a short-lived (or self-limiting, in medical lingo) infection. Bartonella isn’t new – doctors have known about cat scratch disease for almost a century – but it’s only in the past couple of decades that researchers like Dr. Breitschwerdt have started to discover exactly how pervasive Bartonella infecton is in animals and people.

Beating Bartonella
Our Story
Coming Face to Face with BartonellaThis .pdf file provided by Galaxy Labs is an excellent starting point to learn about Bartonella and its symptoms
This is the medical paper that exists due to our personal battle with Bartonella.

Dr Ed Breistschwerdt is the premier researcher in the world concerning Bartonella. He is also an exceptional humanitarian who responded to our desparate email the next day and helped us find the answer to what was tearing our family apart. We will forever be in his debt and he will always be in our hearts. I have provided some links to vital research along with two picture of Dr B: one his professional side and the second a picture we took when he visited our home. Thank you Dr Ed!!!

This was an incredible webinar featuring the two primary professionals involved in the hunt for Bartonella and healing from it's effects: Dr Breitschwerdt and Dr Mozayeni.

Understanding BartonellaBabesia and Lyme — it’s worse than you think
Babesia, a tick-borne infection that causes malaria-like symptoms, has been making headlines over the past two years as the number of reported cases increases, and concerns grow over the seriousness of the disease and its ability to be transmitted through the blood supply.
by Daniel J. Cameron, MD, MPH
Although Lyme disease is the most talked about tick-transmitted disease, Babesia is more common than you might think. In the 2015 issue of Trends in Parasitology, Diuk-Wasser and colleagues report that up to 40% of patients with Lyme disease experienced concurrent Babesiosis. [1]
This means that out of the estimated 300,000 cases of Lyme disease reported annually in the U.S., 120,000 of those individuals may also have Babesia. This is particularly alarming given that the disease can go undetected in asymptomatic individuals and is transmissible through blood transfusions or congenitally. Additionally, Babesia requires different treatment than Lyme disease.

Do Bartonella Infections Cause Agitation, Panic Disorder, and Treatment-Resistant Depression?
Bartonella is an emerging infection found in cities, suburbs, and rural locations. Routine national labs offer testing for only 2 species, but at least 9 have been discovered as human infections within the last 15 years. Some authors discuss Bartonella cases having atypical presentations, with serious morbidity considered uncharacteristic of more routine Bartonella infections. Some atypical findings include distortion of vision, abdominal pain, severe liver and spleen tissue abnormalities, thrombocytopenic purpura, bone infection, arthritis, abscesses, heart tissue and heart valve problems. While some articles discuss Bartonella as a cause of neurologic illnesses, psychiatric illnesses have received limited attention. Case reports usually do not focus on psychiatric symptoms and typically only as incidental comorbid findings. In this article, we discuss patients exhibiting new-onset agitation, panic attacks, and treatment-resistant depression, all of which may be attributed to Bartonella.
