Dr. Wilhelm (“Willy”) Burgdorfer was a world-renowned scientist and researcher in the field of medical entomology.He worked under Fort Detrict’s programsbioweapon labs on manipulating vector insects, arthropods. He is the discoverer of the causative agent of Lyme disease, a previously unknown genus of bacteria of the spirochete phylum, which was subsequently named borrelia Burgdorferi.
Before Burgdorfer died he gave his secret files to Kris Newby… the data…on his experiment under the USA government bioweapon programs to bioweaponize ticks.
by Nicolas Hulscher, MPH A peer-reviewed study published in Medical Acupuncture reported results that almost sound too good to be true for alpha-gal syndrome (AGS)—the tick-induced condition that can make people suddenly allergic to red meat, dairy, and other mammalian products after a tick bite. Researchers evaluated 137 patients with AGS treated using a specialized form of auricular acupuncture called Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT). The results were striking: among patients with follow-up data, 96% reported remission of symptoms after treatment. Many who had previously been unable to tolerate beef, pork, dairy, or other mammalian foods were reportedly able to reintroduce them without allergic reactions.
A newly published peer-reviewed study in Gut Microbes has uncovered a previously unknown cancer-fighting bacterium isolated from amphibian and reptile gut microbiomes—delivering results that exceeded modern oncology treatments.
In an immunocompetent mouse model of colorectal cancer, a single intravenous dose of Ewingella americana led to complete tumor elimination in 100% of treated animals, with no recurrence upon re-exposure to cancer cells—suggesting durable, long-term immune protection.
Even more striking, the bacterium outperformed both chemotherapy (doxorubicin, “red devil”) and immune checkpoint blockade (anti–PD-L1)—two pillars of modern cancer therapy.
What makes this discovery particularly compelling is the mechanism. E. americana is not a passive drug—it is a living, tumor-targeting organism. As a facultative anaerobe, it preferentially accumulates within the hypoxic tumor microenvironment, where it rapidly proliferates and exerts direct cytotoxic effects while simultaneously activating a broad immune response. Within hours, tumors become infiltrated with T cells, B cells, and neutrophils, accompanied by surges in key inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IFN-γ.
Investigators observed approximately a 3,000-fold increase in bacterial load within tumors within 24 hours, indicating highly efficient tumor homing and intratumoral expansion. This dual-action approach—direct tumor destruction combined with immune activation—distinguishes it fundamentally from conventional therapies, which typically rely on a single mechanism of action.
Equally notable is the safety profile observed in this preclinical model. Despite intravenous administration of live bacteria, treated animals showed no significant weight loss, no detectable organ toxicity, and no abnormalities in hematologic or biochemical parameters. The organism was rapidly cleared from circulation within 24 hours, while remaining selectively localized within tumor tissue—an unusual and highly favorable pharmacokinetic pattern.
Importantly, this was not a genetically engineered construct. E. americana is a naturally occurring bacterium, suggesting that vast, largely unexplored microbial ecosystems—particularly those of non-human species—may harbor powerful therapeutic agents.
While these results remain preclinical and require validation in human trials, the signal is difficult to ignore. A single-dose intervention achieving complete tumor eradication, durable immune memory, and superiority over established therapies represents one of the most striking outcomes reported in recent cancer research.
Lyme Disease: The most common vector-borne illness in the country—more prevalent than West Nile, more pervasive than Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and far more mysterious than any public health official cares to admit.
VLA Comment: Best I have read so far. Never mentioned, not even on Wikipedia…always given kudos for discovery the bacterium Lyme Disease, that Dr. Burgdorfer was a bioweapons specialist at Fort Detrick.
Excerpt:And who was one of the key scientists working on tick-borne diseases during this period? None other than Dr. Willy Burgdorfer. You might know him as the man who discovered the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. You know, the bacteria that allegedly cause Lyme disease. Burgdorfer was a bioweapons specialist at Fort Detrick. His entire career was steeped in the art of turning insects into instruments of war. He didn’t just study ticks; he studied how to make them weapons.
As dog owners, we only want the best for our precious pooches! And that’s where the confusion sets in – safe? Unsafe? My vet said it’s toxic! Someone on an online dog forum said it’s toxic, but another said its ok? The stigma around garlic really is huge! Some professionals will advise against it through no fault of their own – it’s often simply what is taught to them during their education.
The controversy all stems from one specific study on garlic, and it’s affects on dogs. Afterall, it’s relatives onion and leek are very much toxic to our pets, so why should garlic be ok when it contains the same active ingredient, allicin?READ MORE…
VLA COMMENT: Great site to check out the details for giving your dog Garlic.My yellow lab….never had a tick after I started giving her a 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of minced garlic with her wet food. There is another way to go….”Bug Off” for pets...OR Bug Zap. it is simply garlic/Allium. When you start off it takes about a week for full protection. I recommend people should try Allium supplements too to protect against ticks.
Typical Safe Range (Whole Garlic Equivalent)
Holistic veterinary sources (e.g., veterinary herbalists such as Richard Pitcairn) generally recommend:
Dog Weight
Fresh Garlic Equivalent
Approx. Allicin
10 lb (4.5 kg)
~¼ small clove
~3–5 mg allicin
20 lb (9 kg)
~½ clove
~6–10 mg
40 lb (18 kg)
~1 clove
~12–20 mg
80 lb (36 kg)
~2 cloves
~25–40 mg
(Allicin varies widely depending on garlic preparation; these are approximate.)
Chat GPT says 1/4 glove of garlic is equal to 1mg. of stabilized Allicin
If Using Allicin Supplements
Because allicin capsules are concentrated, a general guideline used by herbal vets is:
~1 mg allicin per lb of body weight per day (or 2 mg/kg)
Example:
Dog Weight
Approx. Allicin Dose
10 lb
8–10 mg
20 lb
15–20 mg
40 lb
30–40 mg
60 lb
50–60 mg
This is typically given once daily with food during tick season.
Important Safety Notes
Do NOT exceed about 5 mg/kg/day of allicin equivalent long-term.
Avoid garlic/allicin if the dog:
has anemia
is a Japanese breed (Akita, Shiba Inu — more sensitive to oxidative damage)
is very small (<5 lb)
is taking anticoagulant medications
Effectiveness
Garlic does not kill ticks. Instead it works by:
producing sulfur compounds excreted through skin
making the dog less attractive to ticks and fleas
Most people combine it with:
brewer’s yeast
apple cider vinegar in water
frequent tick checks
Practical Veterinary Advice
Many holistic vets rotate garlic 3–4 days on, 3–4 days off to avoid buildup.

How to Supplement Garlic for Dogs and Cats
Dr. Martin Goldstein: In “The Nature of Animal Healing,” Dr. Goldstein suggests adding garlic to homemade pet food, a practice he follows for his own pets.
Gregory Tilford: Author of “Herbs for Pets: The Natural Way to Enhance Your Pet’s Life,” Tilford recommends 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder per pound of food for dogs, 3-4 times per week. Cats, being more sensitive, should have less, and their intake should be monitored for any adverse reactions.
Dr. Richard Pitcairn: In “Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats,” he advises up to ¼ clove of garlic per day for cats (1mg Allicin according to Chat GPT) and ½ to 3 cloves for dogs. He also suggests taking breaks from garlic at least one day per week.
¼ clove ≈ 1/32 teaspoon garlic powder (a tiny pinch)
Amount People Use When Trying to Repel Insects
People experimenting with garlic internally for insects (mosquitoes or ticks) typically take:
300–600 mg stabilized allicin daily or
2–4 cloves of garlic daily
The idea is that sulfur compounds (allyl sulfides) are metabolized and released through the skin and sweat, creating a scent some insects avoid.
