WHEN THE MONTAUK MONSTER WASHED up on the shore in Montauk, New York, in the summer of 2008, it took the internet by storm. The creature was bloated, hairless, and appeared to have a beak. To the casual observer, it was completely unidentifiable as any known animal species. Almost immediately, amateur cryptozoologists began asking if it had come from Plum Island.
The Montauk Monster came to be variously explained as being a disfigured raccoon, sea turtle, or dog, but its body is said to have disappeared, and no firm was ever reached as to its origin.
A few years later, in 2010, when the Associated Press reported that a human body with “very long fingers” had been found on Plum Island’s shore, the speculation kicked into gear again. (“Maybe the long-fingered man didn’t wash up on the shore,” Gothamist wrote. “Maybe he was trying to escape!”)
While the internet had suddenly brought the rumors about sinister goings-on at the heavily restricted Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) into the limelight, the facility had long been the subject of such controversy.

Established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1954 and transferred to the Department of Homeland Security following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the goal of the research center research center was supposedly to study animal borne diseases, such as Foot and Mouth Disease, in order to prevent them from spreading.
But at least at the beginning, there was more being studied on Plum Island than disease prevention. From early on, Plum Island’s infamous Building 257 was also being used to create new, designer pathogens, intended as weapons of biological warfare in the ongoing Cold War. And while these experiments were supposedly halted by Richard Nixon in 1969, many wondered if they had continued in secret.
Among those asking questions was Michael Carroll, whose 2004 bestseller, Lab 257, takes a hard look at the history of the PIADC. In the book, Carroll goes so far as to speculate that the PIADC is the birthplace of Lyme Disease, theorizing that migrating birds may have picked up infected ticks from Plum Island and carried them across the Long Island Sound to Lyme, Connecticut, where Lyme was first observed in 1975.
And die-hard conspiracy theorists believe that man-made diseases, no matter how deadly, are the least of what’s being cooked up on the island: some have wondered if the Montauk Monster, along with that long-fingered man, are government engineered mutants, human-animal hybrids, or something far worse.
Predictably, the government isn’t saying much about it: “I cannot comment on our list of pathogens and the inventories and all those things that are sensitive information,” Luis Rodriguez, a Plum Island research leader, told CBS News in 2012. Until the next time something strange washes up in the Hamptons, the mystery remains
Years ago i read about Drs. making a blood loop and heating the patent's blood to a high temp, then cooling it back to 98.6 and replacing it to the other arm. It was Working well so 'they' Buried it. (to SELL Drugs)
I read of a similar procedure but using an electric current to clean the blood. Then people realized that they didn't need to remove the blood from the body. https://www.bobbeck.com/wristpulsing.html
Think about it, we take Tylenol, Advil etc to lower our temperature but it’s the temperature that can kill the virus. I had heard from a Waldorf teacher years ago that it was good to have a high fever because it also kills off cancer cells and other viruses. Everything we’ve been taught was wrong 😑
Wow, it's crazy when you think about it - our bodies know what to do, but we always interfere and make things worse. If we're not popping analgesics, stopping an infection-killing-fever, then we're stuffing ourselves with processed foods/chemicals, messing up our livers, or letting the Rockefeller educated doctors and nurses inject us with only God know's what.
🚨For decades, people with Lyme disease have struggled with a debilitating illness and often been gaslit about their symptoms.
I recently learned that there’s actually a cure for Lyme disease—yet virtually no one seems to know about it.
A few months ago, I interviewed entrepreneur John Miller, who told me that he was cured of Lyme disease by a therapy known as whole-body hyperthermia.
It was developed by Dr. Friedrich Douwes in Germany, and I recently met his son Dr. Julian Douwes while he was speaking at the Food Independence Summit in Ohio.
They first discovered it when they were using the treatment for stage four cancer patients.
They heated patients to 106.8 degrees Fahrenheit—the highest temperature a person can have a fever spike to before they suffer permanent brain damage—and discovered that it killed all the spirochetes, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.
Fever is the body's method to kill infection. And what does our "medical" community do? They panic and reduce the fever with drugs, when in reality, the fever is the necessary natural process of eliminating the infection.
St. George's Hospital in Germany, also known as Klinik St. Georg, treats chronic Lyme disease using a specialized protocol called Antibiotic Augmented Thermoeradication (AAT), which combines whole-body hyperthermia with targeted antibiotic therapy and additional supportive treatments.
The core of the treatment is systemic whole-body hyperthermia, where the patient's body temperature is raised to 41.6–41.8°C (106.9–107.2°F) for two to three hours under analgosedation, a process designed to destroy Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium responsible for Lyme disease, which is highly sensitive to heat. Using warming blankets or Thermal chambers, this temperature is sustained long enough to kill the spirochetes, as in vitro studies show all Borrelia burgdorferi are eliminated within two hours at 41.6°C.
The hyperthermia treatment is administered in a specialized unit with intensive monitoring, including one nurse per unit and one physician for every five units, and has been performed over 15,000 times with no major complications reported.
No. It has to be done under medical supervision, with things like sedation, constant monitoring and other protocols so people don't wind up frying their brains.
I'm going to look into my crystal bowl and predict we're going to see a surge of "mysterious deaths" of people baking themselves to death.
My husband had Lyme disease. Urine therapy saved his life, and he used a sauna and the juice from boiled purple cabbage to detox all the dead Lyme. It’s a horrible disease!
Interesting. Syphilis - also caused by a spirochete - before Penicillin used to be treated by going to hot springs, using sweat boxes, even by infecting patients either malaria to cause high fevers ( and the malaria later treated with quinine as a known treatment)
That's really risky. High fevers can also cause brain damage. When I was growing up we were good friends with this family that had a girl that was brain damaged from high fever. She had all her motor functions but wasn't able to be in the same classes as me because of it. We were the same age.
Lyme ticks were a government project.

The legal max temperature of a hot tub is 105. Nothing to see here.
Idk about you but 105 seems low for any hotel hot tub. Let alone your home tub if you have one, that law doesn't mean dick in a home.
100% all hot tub thermostats do not go above 105 degrees. You could get your bathtub hotter for sure but it won't stay there for long.
Same thing can be done with a Dr. Hulda Clark zapper. Way cheaper, too.
I went with a WAV watch. Code ardis for 100$ off.
never heard of this so looked up and BOOM! a person can buy on Ebay lol
Glad you found it. Another device Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about.

Research Schlenz Bath. I recall the name coming from an Austrian woman who treated cancer patients.
I had a client take their daughter to Germany for these treatments, her daughter was in a really bad way with Lyme, 100% recovery.
Thank you!
Do people survive this treatment?

I have heard bee stings can cure it. But it's a lot of bee stings. Enough that your life is in danger.
Ive thought about hot air breathing treatments for bacterial lung infections.
So like sauna or an (induced?) fever could kill it?
No. It has to be done under medical supervision, with things like sedation, constant monitoring and other protocols so people don't wind up frying their brains.
I'm going to look into my crystal bowl and predict we're going to see a surge of "mysterious deaths" of people baking themselves to death.
So, in short, please don't try this at home.
Sound waves too💥🔊
I wonder if that chlorine dioxide stuff would kill it too.
My husband had Lyme disease. Urine therapy saved his life, and he used a sauna and the juice from boiled purple cabbage to detox all the dead Lyme. It’s a horrible disease!
Good news everyone! We have a cure for Lyme disease with just one small catch.
YAY! What's the catch?
The treatment also kills the patient.
OH.
Thats also where your body starts shutting down, and a reason that its not a "cure"
Except Food poisoning, I've fevered through every illness (very few) for the past 20 years.

The concept is not new. However, never heard of it being applied to Lymes disease. See below:
