    Mozayeni deserves the Nobel Prize. Hopefully another 20 years from now doctors won't treat you like an idiot-hypochondriac when you tell them you have bartonella and instead will be able to correctly diagnose and treat it.

    Thank you for all of your hard work Dr. Mozayeni. So many of us have suffered with this debilitating disease for so long and we need dedicated scientists like you!

    This video saved my life. I treated Lyme aggressively for years with multiple picc lines for abx. Found out Bart was the problem. I was deathly I’ll, and often said “Lyme was in my brain”

    What a wonderful podcast! Thank God for this doctor!
    I have a very frightening issue on my hands, and I’m scared and consumed with this!
    A year and a half ago, our son began living at my house, because he was living in a WDB, and had severe neurological and psychological problems. His mental decline is very apparent, and he’s had a plethora of neurological problems. However, after a year of trying to get his labs and blood work, to see an MD, who is a specialist in mold and stealth infections. A couple of weeks ago, we took him to get the final results,. We thought it was CIRS, because he had been living in a water damaged building, but he does have that plus, two types of Bartonella and Babesia, and she gave him three types of antibiotics to start 1 week apart; however, he felt worsebut it seemed as though he had a herx reaction. He went off the antibiotic and he got worse. He began having fevers and woke up soaked, severe head pressure, which has been going on for a few years, coldness, limbs that are numb, sleeps all day, has EXTREME anxiety and depression. He wakes up with horrible anxiety, has become so negative, has dark thoughts, and ruminates all day.
    He can’t think nor communicate well, and isn’t taking care of himself. His appetite is gone, except for sugary stuff. Some other things he doesn’t help himself with are that he smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, and he has a severe vulture posture. His neck hurts, and I’ve taken him to an upper cervical chiropractor, but he won’t go anymore. He hurts everywhere, and is psychotic and paranoid, which, at first, I chalked up to his mold toxicity from his house. He’s been staying at my house. His growth factor is sky high, and his blood work is all over the charts. It’s interesting, because tonight, I told him I was going to take him to an ophthalmologist because his vision is changing, and he can’t see well. I know they can diagnose other things besides the eyes.
    These symptoms have been going on for a few years, but he wasn’t living with me until his suicide attempt a year and a half ago. and since I had mold toxicity before, I thought that’s what this was. But, it’s both. I should mention, he has meningoencephalitis at age 7, and later, several severe TBIs.
    He feels like he’s going to die, and I’m scared he will.
    He is SO sick, his doctor told him to go to emergency, but I’m not sure if that’s the right thing. PLEASE direct me as to where to take him. We live in Rochester, MI., within driving distance to Detroit, U of M, and Cleveland Climic. I’m scared he is going to take his life or die. We need some help besides the local hospital! 🙏💫💕

      My son is very similar as your son’s history and symptoms. He currently has a diagnosis of active cases Bartenella, Lyme and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. He has had multiple TBI’s, chronic mold exposure, and reoccurring Epstein Barr infections. He had a very bad reaction to the Moderna Covid vaccine. His is positive for antibodies for every type of known mycotoxin. Agree that this is a very scary place to be and a lot of these symptoms are being deeply driven by the diabolical nature of neurobartonella We are finally starting to make some progress with a cocktail of medications that are very non-standard in terms of treatment, including Seroquel, Lamictal, Imantinib and Methylene Blue. Lots of binders. You are right that the local hospital is not going to be of any help except traumatizing your son further My son has been hospitalized several times, including 3 times at the Mayo Clinic, which was useless

    In terms of schizophrenia and bartonella, there is a new study using a more specific PCR test and 76% of schizophrenic patients tested positive for bartonella while only 7,6% of healthy controls.
    THus, Bartonellosis is the infection with the strongest association to schizophrenia as to date. However, the gut microbiome might also contribute to disease development. (and genetic susceptibility)

      Psychiatry has a monopoly on Mental/Neurological Disturbances. They are swimming in money by only treating symptoms.

    Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge and journey with this. I had micro changes to vessels in my brain which showed up in a cat scan. It was unremarkable and the scan was considered normal but now i have a deeper insight to this. My opinion is that Raynaud's is a red flag marker for Bart.

      Omg! It is? I haven’t felt well for a long time and I have Raynaud’s!!

    Oh and should add he has started the antibiotic Clarythromycin (slowly to prevent HERX reactions) and will soon add Minocycline

    I live in Canada, do you see patients over zoom? I am taking doxy and rifampin which I had to order from India. I am concerned now after listening to your channel that this might make my condition worse. No help here in Canada.
