🚨 Bartonella (aka cat scratch disease) is one of the most
prevalent & misrepresented infections you need to know about.

MDs are largely unaware (therefore, fail to test or treat for it) that it drives huge #’s of autoimmune, PANS, neuro, psych, vascular issues. It also reactivates in face of COVID!

Can be spread via many bugs & animals—-even by dog/cat saliva! (Likely human saliva, too 🤐)

Clips from my interview w world’s leading expert, @NCState’s Dr. Ed Breitschwerdt 🧵

Here, he reveals that the @CDCgov website is NOT following the science on Bartonella…& so MDs & patients are being misinformed.

New paper highlights how the Children’s Postinfectious Autoimmune Encephalopathy (CPAE) Center of Excellence model emphasizes integrated treatment of immune & behavioral drivers in PANS/PANDAS. This interdisciplinary approach can improve patient outcomes. https://t.co/bbfctozEtk

Many diseases were once called “psychological” or “all in the mind”.

Again and again, biology later proved otherwise.

This thread shows clear cases where medicine got it wrong, then changed its mind once real mechanisms were found.

[Prof. Kevin J. Tracey, MD @KevinJTraceyMD]

Clinicians sometimes ask: “Is vagus‑nerve stimulation just another wellness fad?” My answer: we mapped the inflammatory reflex from brain stem to synapse and validated its effects in controlled trials, a standard not met for fads.

🚨 Hot off the press: my new paper that moves this field forward 🚀 and changes the narrative on what #POTS, #MECFS and #LongCOVID are... Neuroimmune Disorders!

🧠 The brain and the autonomic nervous system are involved in the immune system regulation.
🧠 There is evidence of autoimmunity, immune dysregulation, cerebral hypoperfusion, neuroinflammation and other mechanisms in all three disorders.
🧠 #Neuroimmunology is a field that should embrace these disorders: #MultipleSclerosis, the staple of neuroimmunology, used to be called hysterical paralysis before CT and MRI were invented. We're at the same crossroads with these disorders.
❌ These disorders are not "mysterious", "anxiety", "deconditioning," "functional neurologic" etc. etc.
‼️ Classifying these disorders as neuroimmune and including them as part of neuroimmunology training is critical.
🛌 #PatientCare and lives of millions of people living with these disabling conditions are at stake!

Thanks to my esteemed colleagues and co-authors, Dr. @TaylorDoherty8, immunologist from UC San Diego and Dr. Lawrence Steinman, neuroimmunologist from @StanfordMed, for their support!

Children’s health research involving genetics is vital, which is why it’s central to #DCYPHR. Many conditions begin in childhood, yet most research focuses on adults. If you have a child aged 0–15, you can help shape future health by joining today: https://t.co/ALpqzOM7LP
