Chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Medicine divides diseases, symptoms, and syndromes into so many differently named diseases, that no one person can know it all. Specialization makes the quantity of medical knowledge more manageable, and at the same time impedes discovery of the root causes of chronic disease. The root causes of chronic disease may have occurred years or decades prior to the diagnosis, may have been seen or treated by a different specialty, or knowledge of the root cause is not within the specialists’…..

Chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Medicine studies and treats chronic diseases based on specialty, disease and body part. Medicine fails to contemplate or study broader principles in chronic disease, across specialties, across chronic diseases, and in the body as a whole, to see patterns and commonalities. Medical research studies and names the smallest molecules and cluster differentiations in cell microbiology, hoping an answer will reveal itself. In researching cell microbiology, researchers often fail to recognize and identify intracellular pathogens that are impacting cell microbiology, cluster…..

Medical training

Carolyn Merchant Blog 2 0

Doctors observe, document, test, and name diseases; and rarely go beyond their training to diagnose a root cause of chronic disease.  Many chronic diseases are a description of symptoms and findings; therefore, treatment is symptomatic. If the doctor tries to explore new means of diagnosis, to find a root cause, the doctor may be blocked by employers, insurance companies or Medicare. A syndrome is a description of a constellation of symptoms, often named after a doctor who first described the…..

Medical training

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Doctors are trained in medical school to diagnose thousands of previously named diseases, the co-morbid conditions for each disease, and how to treat the diseases. Doctors are taught the standard of care, and discouraged from ever deviating from what they are taught. Doctors are discouraged from being creative, or from seeking new solutions to treat chronic disease, with the medications and tools we already have available. Doctors are not taught the root causes of chronic disease or how to diagnose…..

H-heilmanni

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

H-heilmannii is a serovar of H-pylori. Animal reservoirs for H-heilmanni include cats, dogs, cattle, pigs, and primates. Medicine questioned whether humans contract H-heilmanni; however, H-heilmanni has been found in gastric biopsies. H-heilmanni in humans demonstrates transmission from animals-to-people; H-heilmanni attacks in the same or a similar way as H-pylori; and both H-pylori and H-heilmanni can cause chronic disease in humans. When immortal animal pathogens are transmitted from animal-to-human, the pathogens often cause the same or similar diseases in both humans…..

H-pylori

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

H-pylori can become an originating cell or trigger for cancer. H-pylori can migrate or metastasize via the lymphatic system, invade the brain, and cause cancer at remote sites—not just in the stomach. Patients with H-pylori are six times more likely to develop MALT lymphoma, and the recommendation for first-line treatment of lymphoma is now treatment of h-pylori. Research suggests patients with co-morbid h-pylori and chlamydia psittacosis are at higher risk of MALT lymphoma, MALT lymphoma of the stomach, MALT lymphoma…..

H-pylori

Carolyn Merchant Blog 2 0

A 2015 study, in Greece, of 44 patients with multiple sclerosis and 20 patients in a matched control group, showed h-pylori in 86.4% of MS patients, and in 50% of patients in the control group. The study also found co-morbid intestinal and autoimmune diseases in MS patients, including espophagitis, Barretts esophagus, hiatus hernia, duodenal ulcer, and hypothyroid. The study concluded h-pylori may be a causal factor for developing MS. The study showed H-pylori is more common in MS patients, and more…..

H-pylori

Carolyn Merchant Blog 4 0

When H-pylori attacks epithelium and burrows through layers of tissue, the separating membranes are damaged and lose adherence, collagen structures are damaged, and eventually tissue thins and atrophies. H-pylori can cause loss of normal apoptosis (normal programmed cell death); and generate sticky proteins. H-pylori can invade immune cells, particularly neutrophils, and cause neutrophils to change size and shape, to resemble cancer. H-pylori can become more pathogenic when combined with other immortal pathogens. H-pylori as a cause of stomach ulcers and…..

H-pylori

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

H-pylori resides in the mouth and intestinal tract of fifty percent of the population, and is a recognized cause of ulcers and stomach cancer. H-pylori is a spiral bacterium which can be transmitted from person-to-person, by saliva, food handling, feces, and poor hygiene; and can be acquired by drinking contaminated water or swimming in contaminated water. H-pylori has many strains, and not all strains and not all modes of transmission have been identified. In addition to humans, cats, pigs, sheep,…..

Chlamydia

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Chlamydia species are immortal bacteria that live and replicate inside a host cell. An elementary body is the infectious form, which has a rigid outer membrane. A reticulate body is the non-infectious form, which replicates by division, inside the cell. An elementary body invades the host cell, becomes a reticulate body, replicates by division to create new elementary bodies, and within forty-eight to seventy-two hours, new elementary bodies are released to infect new host cells. Penicillin causes the reticulate body…..
