Chlamydia psittacosis is a likely cause of ocular melanoma, alone or in combination with co-infections and environmental triggers, in Auburn, Huntersville, New York, and Baton Rouge. The basis for this belief is: 1. In 1972, Auburn University was overrun with pigeons, to the point pigeons were defacing buildings and causing roof collapse with bird droppings. The university had to undertake “the great pigeon extermination”; 2. In a 1973 study, rabbits were infected intravenously with chlamydia psittacosis, and the rabbits…..
Over the last four decades, as we contemplated and researched the principles in our book, it has been difficult to watch suffering around us, knowing patients could be helped by better diagnosis and treatment. Carolyn represented patients with eye injuries for more than thirty years; thus, one of the hardest for her to watch has been the development of clusters of ocular melanoma (OM). OM robs young patients of their eyes, and takes the lives of too many victims—and the…..
The eyes are more than a window to the soul–the eyes are a window to health and chronic disease throughout the body. Eyes can predict and confirm many chronic diseases. For instance, a retinal scan showing vessels in the back of the eye can predict the likelihood of a #heart attack, in the ensuing five years. The iris can show markers of metastatic cancer. Retinal vessels can show advanced stages of diabetes. A particular type of damage to the retina,…..
Current testing to diagnose #Alzheimer’s disease includes spinal taps, MRI’s, PET scans, and scans using special dyes, to confirm the presence of beta amyloid plaque lesions in the brain. Medicine recently recognized that Alzheimer’s can be predicted and diagnosed twenty years prior to the development of symptoms, using retinal scans to evaluate blood vessels in the back of the eye. The appearance of plaque in retinal vessels correlates with the development of beta amyloid plaque in the brain. Everyone has…..
Alzheimer’s disease and cardiovascular disease are common co-morbid conditions, because both can be caused by the same immortal pathogen—chlamydia pneumonia. Chronic chlamydia pneumonia has been confirmed in patients with Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease, in multiple studies, based on PCR blood testing, pathology findings, and autopsy findings. Researchers continue to repeat studies on Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease, and keep finding the same thing; yet, do not seem to be able to move beyond studies showing chronic chlamydia pneumonia over and over,…..
A article, by Luke Kemp, on the collapse of civilizations, cites historian and collapse expert Joseph Tainter, who proposes societies are a problem-solving collective that grows in complexity, in order to overcome new issues; and societies eventually collapse under the weight of their own accumulated complexity and bureaucracy. He believes the returns from complexity eventually reach a point of diminishing returns, until the collapse of a society ensues. Medicine has reached a point of so much complexity that it is…..
Penicillin, amoxicillin, Augmentin, and cephalosporins are the most frequently prescribed antibiotics in the United States; and the most likely to cause antibiotic resistance. When these antibiotics are fed to animals, for the same disease, the antibiotics can become ineffective when needed by people. Pediatricians and other primary care providers have increasing resistance to prescribing antibiotics, out of misplaced fear and over-generalization of antibiotics; and patients have avoided taking antibiotics when needed, out of fear generated in the public domain and medical…..
Antibiotic resistant pathogens have existed for thousands of years, long before antibiotics. The problem today is not too many antibiotics being prescribed—the problem is too many antibiotics being fed to animals, and too many of the wrong antibiotics being prescribed to patients. In 1946, animals began being fed antibiotics, after it was learned antibiotics helped the animals grow faster and bigger. In 2008, the American Livestock industry reported animals consumed eight times more antibiotics than people; and in one year,…..
The Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was amended, in 1976, to add regulation of medical devices. A well-intended law has now caused unintended consequences. The FDA views the medical device industry and politicians as its customers, instead of the public; relies on the honesty of what is presented by industry and their paid consultants; and does what politicians direct the FDA to do. The FDA must approve new medical devices and indications as submitted, or reject the device entirely–a politically…..
Changing the mindset of the medical system is not easy. Doctors were trained to practice consistent with what they were taught; to identify and treat the symptoms of chronic disease, rather than diagnose root causes; and to fear deviation from what they were taught. Medical practice is dictated by health care organizations and insurance companies, and doctors are discouraged from creative solutions for difficult medical problems. It is always difficult to change a person’s mind concerning long-held beliefs, and to…..
