I have only just heard of Brucella via combing the internet boards. I dutifully looked it up on pubmed and various google pages and I know some people with Lyme turn up with it.

What I want to know is -- how the heck can a person get this?

Most people don't grow up on farms anymore and they don't drink unpasteurized anything, so how do people get this if not through these vectors?

Is it a stealth infection?Would it be like, a person went to a petting zoo when they were eight years old, touched a sheep and the thing's been hanging around in their blood ever since?

The CDC's website actually lists some ways: http://www.cdc.gov/brucellosis/exposure/

Hunters and people who process meat are at risk. My doc said he treated a veterinarian who contracted it from animal exposure. He said once he cured him, the man changed professions.

I can't say if it's stealthy or not. I have read case reports of people having it for months before being diagnosed. I remember reading one about a mother and son who both had it. They (or maybe just one of them???) were given ivig in a hospital months before the diagnosis and the ivig had helped them.

There's some great information about Brucella here: http://www.betterhealthguy.com/ilads-2014
These notes say that it's been isolated from fleas and ticks.

Brucella (Undulent fever) was studied extensively for biological warfare since it is an intracellular pathogen and thus more difficult to cure.So technically, its a biological weapon(class B).It causes arthritis, fatigue and night sweats, and it can cause abortion in mammals. (Population control, anyone?)

Sadly, Brucella is also transferred by ticks. So if you want to limit your family size-- forget the birth control, just get bitten by a tick...

In the study below three herbs called denak (Oliveria decumbens), saffron (Crocus sativus), and clary sage (Salvia sclarea) demonstrated anti-brucella properties. Processing these herbs into a liposomal mixture increases their ability to penetrate into macrophage cells24, biofilms, joints, and the nervous system25 where brucellosis likes to hide. http://goodbyelyme.com/brucellosis_strategies

I have to say this is just endlessly frustrating. Obviously thousands of people are sick with these infections and medical science can't even figure out what they are.

I'm really on the verge of going to the vet.

Medical scientists in the biowarfare labs at DOD and the CIA know EXACTLY what these infections are, how they behave, what it takes to kill them, and who is susceptible to them--- but the information is classified secret or possibly even top secret..

Under the Mockingbird controlled media- we will never get the truth reported about what has happened to us in the mainstream press.

Yes... today's level of wickedness is very depressing----but I try to cope with my faith------ basically everything that is evil in this life involves spiritual, not physical warfare. Spiritual warfare involves forgiving the evil that has been done.

So...

"I forgive those individuals in the biological weapons complex at DOD and CIA-- who have weaponized these agents and tested/disbursed them on innocent Americans.. and I forgive those in the Mockingbird media (including websites) who withhold and manipulate the truth about what has happened."

"ALL things (including chronic illness) work together for the GOOD for those who love Christ--- and who work according to His purposes." Amen.
