Got Fibro & Sensitive to Everything? Part 6: Bartonella
Vitality101 Newsletter
Hello Reader,
This is the last part of my series "Got Fibro & Sensitive to Everything."
In people with the most severe environmental sensitivities, Lyme disease and its co-infections are important to consider. When sensitivities and severe anxiety are present, the Lyme co-infection Bartonella is especially suspect.
This health topic is far too complex to even attempt a do-it-yourself approach. Instead, if you suspect you may have this condition, you should look for a Lyme literate physician to consult. You can find one at the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) website.
You may have Bartonella if you have the following symptoms:
- Intense sensitivity and reactivity.
- Intense anxiety with emotional instability and mood swings.
- An uncomfortable weird feeling of vibration over parts of the spine.
- Bell's palsy, inflammation of the other cranial nerves or optic nerve, or meningitis.
- Pseudoseizures or other very unusual neurologic sensations.
There is no reliable testing for this infection. Diagnosis is based on having the symptoms and how you respond to treatment. Treatment typically includes the antibiotics Rifampin, Septra, azithromycin (Zithromax ) and Clindamycin.
The herbal supplements A-BART™ or MC-BAR-1™ can also help you if you have Bartonella. More information on this can be found in the book Toxic, by Dr. Neil Nathan.
Lee Cowden, MD, has developed a series of herbal tinctures that can be helpful for Lyme disease and Bartonella. And Dr. Nathan has found Banderol and Houttynia to be particularly beneficial for Bartonella.
Love & Blessings,
Dr. T

When: July 13-19, 2020
Tired of waking up exhausted and having to drag yourself through the day? Join me for the Superhuman Energy Summit to help you overcome fatigue, improve immunity, recharge your brain and regain your vitality.
Summit host Ari Whitten became a health advocate after he contracted mononucleosis and his world was forever changed. He had always been a fit and healthy athlete. But a year after this infection, he became severely and chronically fatigued. The impact on his life inspired him to explore the science of energy, and to dedicate himself to helping people recover from chronic fatigue by teaching the science of human energy enhancement.
The Superhuman Energy Summit will teach you:
- Most common causes of fatigue
- Biohacks for Superhuman energy
- Hormone and immune system optimization
