Since August 2010, health agencies have been investigating the potential risk of formaldehyde exposure from a variety of hair straightening products, especially products marketed as “keratin-based.”

There are a lot of things that can go wrong when you are going to have surgery.  But one of the few things that's supposed to be safe is the blood supply, right?  After all, blood donations are screened for seven infectious agents, including HIV and hepatitis.  But now new research has found that there is a tick parasite that has been transmitted through blood transfusions appearing in the blood supply.

Babesia, carried and transmitted by deer ticks throughout the Northeast and northern Midwest United States, is now the most commonly reported infectious agent spread by blood transfusion, according to a study performed at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.  And this is not an infection for which blood donors are being screened.

In their analysis of patient records, the researchers found 162 cases of babesia that were transmitted by transfusion between 1979 and 2009.  Of those infected, there were 27 fatalities.  However, it is not possible at this time to pinpoint how many of them died from the babesia as opposed to their previous illness or complications from surgery.

Lyme disease is a multi-faceted recurrent illness caused by the tick borne spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi and its co infections, Babesia.

Babesia can live in the blood and tissues, and in the white and red blood cells. It has a least 4 forms, granular, spirochete, cell wall deficient, and cyst phase. The cyst phase can lay dormant for at least 11 months and maybe longer. It also develops blebs, which detach from the spirochete. The blebs are composed of chromosomal material. It is a gram negative anaerobic organism. There is also reported in the early literature of a concomitant virus found in the deer along with Babesia. The Babesia loves fatty tissues and can bore through tissue. Babesia can live inside the red blood cells.

The condition affects all systems of the body and can present in some of following ways:

Random mild to severe pains in the large joints
Gout like symptoms
Random localized numbness and burning on the surface of the skin
Skin rashes that look like psoriasis or other strange aberrations
Fever of unknown origin
Digestive complaints, nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea
Constipation
Debilitating Fatigue

Severe headaches including migraines, meningitis
Stabbing pain and heaviness in the eyes

Trembling of the limbs and head
Severe pain in the back of the neck and spine
Paralysis of the entire body or parts
Insomnia and nightmares
Uncontrollable anger and depression
Schizophrenia
Phobias
MS
Parkinson
Confusion
Loss of short term memory
Poor concentration
Reduced task completion
Brain fog
Burning and red (infected) eyes
Chronic cough/asthma
Nosebleeds
Aggravation during menses due to cyclical immune functions changes
Vertigo/dizziness
Panic attacks
Tinnitus
Pins and needles, numbness of extremities
Highly sensitive to touch
Sore throat
Low body temperature
Cellular resistance to insulin, high blood sugar
Sensitivity to change in the weather

This is an illness of a thousand manifestations

The following herbs, supplements, and dietary recommendations may also be a part of your treatment plan. Although they are widely used for intestinal parasites.

SPK Formula (old name Spirokete) by Hanna Kroeger

Cloves it is the only thing I know of that will kill the eggs.
Vitamin C,
Echinacea,

Parasite treatment can be successful with things such as wormwood, cloves, garlic, pumpkin seed, black walnut, pomegranate, bayberry, etc.

All while doing this you Rosemary should be using cyst busters such as Grapefruit seed extract.

1) Garlic

Garlic (Allium sativa) has been found to have activity against Ascaris (roundworm), Giardia lamblia, Trypanosoma, Plasmodium, and Leishmania.

Garlic is available in capsules and as whole garlic cloves.

2) Cloves cloves is the herb that will penetrate the egg of the parasites so your  body can eliminate and pass them. 

3) Goldenseal

The herb goldenseal (Hydrastis Canadensis) has been used historically for infections involving the mucous membranes in the body, such as respiratory tract infections.

Preliminary lab studies suggest that berberine, the active constituent of goldenseal, is active against Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Plasmodium.

4) Black walnut

Black walnut is a folk herbal remedy used for ringworm and athlete's foot. The juice of unripe hulls of black walnut that are used for parasites and fungal infections. Supports microorganism resistance; intestinal and blood.  I've been using herbal dewormers (wormwood, tarragon, thyme, and Black Walnut) and have done parasite counts before and after treatment with both drugs and the herbs, and I'm much more satisfied with the herbal results.

5) Wormwood

The herb wormwood (Artemesia annua) has been used for centuries as a herbal remedy for intestinal parasites. Preliminary research suggests wormwood may have activity against Ascaris lumbricoides, Plasmodium, Schistosoma mansoni, and Giardia.

Wormwood contains sesquiterpene lactones, which are thought to weaken parasite membranes.

Wormwood can be found in tea, liquid extract, or capsule form, however, the pure oil is considered toxic and should not be ingested.

6) Wormseed

Wormseed (Chenopodium ambrosioides) is a traditional herbal remedy in the tropics for expelling roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms.

Concentrated wormseed oil is too potent to use, so many herbalists consider wormseed tea to be preferable.

7) Pumpkin Seeds

Traditionally, pumpkin seeds (Curcubita pepo) have been used as a remedy for tapeworms and roundworms.

Herbalists often recommend large amounts, up to 25 ounces for adults. The seeds are often mashed and mixed with juice. Two or three hours after consuming the pumpkin seeds, a laxative is often recommended to help cleanse the intestines.

8) Grapefruit seed

Grapefruit seed extract is usually found in liquid form in health food stores. When the FDA tested grapefruit seed extract in 1990 with 200 patients who had internal parasitic infections, they found that it gave more symptomatic relief than any other treatment.

9) Diet

These are some dietary recommendations often suggested to support the intestinal parasite cleansing process:

• Temporarily avoid coffee, refined sugar, alcohol, and refined foods.
• Eat anti-parasitic foods. Try eating more raw garlic. Pineapple contains the digestive enzyme bromelain. A diet rich in pineapple can help to clear certain parasites such as tapeworms. Papaya seeds contain enzymes that help to digest protein. They can be chewed, but watch out, they are as hot as mustard seeds.
• Carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash are some foods that are rich in beta carotene, a precursor for vitamin A. Vitamin A is thought to increase resistance to penetration by larvae.Vitamin C and zinc also support the immune system
• Probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacteria, and L. bulgaricus can help to rebuild beneficial intestinal bacteria.
  
• Tumeric and cloves are other spices that can help fight parasites.

10) Intestinal cleansing

Intestinal cleansing involves the use of a higher-fiber diet plus supplements such as psyllium husks, citrus pectin, papaya extract, bentonite clay, activated charcoal, pumpkin seeds, beet root, and/or flaxseeds.

And let's face it, transfusions themselves aren't the safest procedure to begin with.  Several studies that found that transfusions increase your risk of heart attack and death.  The problem lies in the fact that the oxygen-transporting efficacy of stored blood begins to decay almost immediately.  This is because stored red blood cells become deficient in nitric oxide, thus limiting their ability to get oxygen to tissues that need it.  There is a 70 percent drop in the first day of storage.  By the twenty-first day, the molecule is below the level of detectability.  In the U.S., red blood cells can legally be stored up to 42 days before blood banks are required to discard them.

But it's even worse than that.  Because transfused blood is deficient in nitric oxide, it actually sucks nitric oxide out of the surrounding tissue to compensate.  This causes that tissue to constrict and become deoxygenated.  If that tissue happens to be heart muscle, you have a real problem.

The bottom line is that transfusions should be a last resort except, in fact, when they are indeed the last resort.
