Bartonella is a bacteria that frequently presents its perfectly laquered nails as a co-infection of Lyme's. Picture it as the catty sorority sister who stirs the pot at breakfast then retreats to her perch to observe the conflict. Always there lurking around corners and snickering from the top of the stairs during a mixer. Right about the time things have settled down in the house *BAM*....Bartonella strolls in and drops an additional juicy tidbit.
Bartonella has a sordid family history with many branches to its lineage. It can be transmitted by not only ticks, but also fleas, mosquitoes, spiders, many a creepy crawling insect of which we have in droves in the state of NC. It also can be transmitted by our loving furbabies, believe it or not! One root of its family tree causes Cat Scratch Fever, and no...Ted Nugent is NOT the co-ed stalker in this film.

I currently dose both Bartonella and her pesky sister Burgdorfi (Lyme's spirochete) 3 times a day with teasel root. It is an incredibly powerful herbal remedy that will flat knock you on your yoga booty if you accidentally take even one drop over your recommended dose. It's crazy! When I picked up a bottle in a local store the seal at the top was busted, and about 10 drops spilled onto my hand. I immediately herxed and was miserable for a few days.
Next comes one of my favorites which is known for its anti-viral, anti-microbial, and oxidative properites....colloidal siver. This is the shiny lavalier around the neck of both co-eds and is in my opinion a holistic remedy everyone needs daily. I even bought a 5% eye and ear solution that is helping clear my chronic eye inflammation and the tone of my tinnitus is changing in just one week. Not sure if the tinnitus clearing is from the solution or my updated oral supplement protocol, but my ears are definitely itching less internally. As far as the oral colloidal silver solution, I really like this one from Nature's Sunshine.

Lastly, I have added in Una de gato, also known as cat's claw. Can you think of a more aptly named method to stalk and destroy such a catty co-ed? This is also a very powerful healing herb, and the recommended supplemental dose is only 1 a day. I am testing for 4 a day yet I have to build up to that dose over a 30-day period. How about that...cat's claw to shred the bacteria that causes cat scratch fever. God does have a sense of humor in the midst of all this lurking and gossiping in my central nervous system. Fortunately, I don't have the cat scratch fever Bartonella strain. The uña de gato I take is also a Nature's Sunshine product as is about 90% of all of my supplements.
Now that you know the back story and are familiar with the plot twists...can you blame me for Killing Bartonella?
My talons are out, and as the adage goes...mess with the kitty, get the claws!
