Interesting stuff! I'm currently in the process of characterising a B. rochalimae-like novel strain of Bartonella here in the UK as part of my MSc using comparative genomics. Didn't expect to find such an informative video on RUclips on the medical side of things.
Bartonella Babe Sure if you’re interested, still lots of work to be done but I’d be happy to fill you in so far. Is there a way to give you my email privately?
Excellent video! Great job Jake! I’m about to take my triple draw Galaxy lab test tomorrow. I hope it gives me more information on how to treat whatever is causing my burning pain because nothing I’ve thrown at it is working.
I gave all my daughters lyme and bartonella. My ex took my children when they were little. Should I worry they still have horrible bartonella streaks were never treated and they are 17 and 20 my oldest daughter died at 28 from it . My ex would not let the younger two get treated. I'm worried about them my oldest one has a lot of psych issues ( my 20 yr old) arthritis etc... gi issues. I dont know what to do I am dying from lyme and bartonella no money for a lyme doctor my main worry are my 2 daughters still alive.
@@dutyofcall7659 have done it on and off too far gone at this point. Had pic lines and porta caths many decades ago im about to try the medical medium books he says lyme is epstein bar and diet will help body heal . Antibiotics at this late stage is not tolerated. God bless you.
@@elsablue3646 how are you doing today? I know your post is awhile ago but you mentioned you had a Picc did it not help you? I’m about to get one and I’m terrified that it won’t work.
That is a great question and thank you for that idea. I will look that up and continue to learn about RUclips's algorithm. I do know that the most important way that videos are found is through the title of the video
So the first thing I want to make clear is that the transmission between Bartonella and Borrelia (or any other microbe/pathogen) cannot be extrapolated from one to the other and Bartonella and Borrelia are two completely different bacteria so I just am going to speak on Bartonella. There is one documented case of in utero transmission of Bartonella in the literature so we know it's possible, we just don't know how probable is. Link here: jcm.asm.org/content/jcm/48/6/2289.full.pdf I think transmission is best thought of possible vs. probable. Cat transmission studies have not been able to document perinatal transmission and cats have a much higher level of bacteria (up to 1 million times more) in their blood than humans. At the same time, human studies will need to use the most up to date technology to see how often perinatal transmission occurs and we know that PCR historically has been not that sensitive because of low bacteria levels. And then the question becomes, even if it is transmitted, how relevant is it clinically? At this point, Bartonella experts focus on shared environment (same flea infestation, for example) as the most likely method of transmission. Bartonellosis is a vector-borne disease. People are very convinced that heir kids contracted bartonellosis congenitally or perinatally but I think there are other possible explanations worth considering. Kids share a lot of genetics and epigenetic factors with their parents which may predispose them to becoming ill. Sometimes many family members get ill and maybe it's because of one flea infestation with a particularly virulent strain. Long story, short: We need more research into this topic and until we have that, we should be careful with our language about what the literature has shown and not shown

Excellent, Jake! Appreciate your dedication to finding wellness.

Hey Sean! Nice to meet you. Is there a way I can contact you so I can ask you more about your work? Like an email?
Bartonella Babe
Sure if you’re interested, still lots of work to be done but I’d be happy to fill you in so far.
Is there a way to give you my email privately?
Sean Brierley yes feel free to email me at jakethebartonellababe@gmail.com
Great job Jake! Thank you for your hard work and thank you Dr. Elam for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you! And yes a big thank you to Dr. Elam
Excellent video! Great job Jake!
I’m about to take my triple draw Galaxy lab test tomorrow. I hope it gives me more information on how to treat whatever is causing my burning pain because nothing I’ve thrown at it is working.
I hope the triple draw brings you the answers you need but remember the diagnosis of bartonellosis is still a clinical diagnosis! ❤️

What happened to your daughter and why you dont get antibiotics like Azithromycin + Rifampicin from your normal doctor?

@@elsablue3646sending you love and light. You are an incredibly tough, resilient warrior. Calling on all angels and guides on your behalf.
Thank you for doing this video. It makes me hopeful . 🙏🏻
Hope is the most important ingredient! ❤️
Thank You AGAIN😊
(Does it matter that Bartonellosis or Bartonella are not “tagged”- #-?)

Great video! I might have missed it but is there an opinion from you and Dr. Elam on if spread from mom to baby in utero is possible?
