Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s & macrolides

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

No long-term study has been done to determine whether patients, who were previously treated with low-dose macrolides, cyclines, or quinolones, for acute and/or chronic infection, have a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. The same immortal pathogens can cause cardiovascular disease; and studies showed patients treated in the prior three years with azithromycin, clarithromycin, or quinolones, for any reason, had a significant reduction in acute heart attack, stroke, and cardiac death. Male patients with cardiac disease and a…..

Immortal pathogens cause brain disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

The Lieber Institute has the largest collection of postmortem brains in the world. The Lieber Institute studies degenerative brain diseases, Alzheimer’s, autism, traumatic brain disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, depression, and suicide, by dissecting and examining frozen brains. Anatomical brain changes alone will not reveal the causes of many brain disorders and many mental illnesses. Immortal pathogens survive death, and likely survive being frozen, in that immortal pathogens have been recovered and revived from ancient permafrost and 1000…..

Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

We have 42,000,000 million proteins inside each cell. Chlamydia lives inside the cell; and H-pylori and/or its fragments can become intracellular. The pathogens foster a sticky intracellular environment, causing proteins to stick together and fold into abnormal shapes; and dispersion of abnormal proteins into adjacent tissue, the blood, and lymphatics. In Parkinson’s, Lewy body proteins develop inside the nerve cell, i.e. intracellularly. In Alzheimer’s, clumps of proteins form outside the cells, between the nerves; and the clumps are larger than…..

Lewy body proteins in Parkinson’s

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Lewy bodies are abnormal aggregates of proteins that develop inside nerves, in Parkinson’s disease, Lewy Body dementia, and other brain diseases. An aggregate of abnormal proteins can occur when normal or abnormal proteins stick together, and/or fold into abnormal shapes. Immortal pathogens have abnormal proteins attached to the surface, which confuse the immune system; and generate a sticky environment inside the cell that causes intracellular proteins to fold improperly. As the pathogens spread, abnormal proteins are dispersed into the body…..

Parkinson’s disease is and H-pylori

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

A 2016 article reported many studies show a higher prevalence of H-pylori infection in Parkinson’s patients; however, the final hypothesis was H-pylori interferes with absorption of Parkinson’s medications. Malabsorption may be a factor, but can develop in any chronic infection with immortal bacteria and/or parasites, during the infectious cascade. The article overlooked that H-pylori can migrate or metastasize to the brain to cause Parkinson’s. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4828559/ Studies in Brazil found low dose doxycycline was effective in treating Parkinson’s disease and reducing…..

Parkinson’s disease and chronic infection

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Parkinson’s disease is a demyelinating disease, meaning the outer covering of the nerve sheath is being destroyed. Parkinson’s disease is caused by chronic infection, which has invaded the brain; and may be caused by more than one pathogen or combination of pathogens. H-pylori, chlamydia trachoma, and chlamydia pneumonia have all been “associated” with Parkinson’s disease, can invade the brain, and generate abnormally shaped proteins and inclusion cysts. H-pylori is most strongly “associated” with Parkinson’s disease. H-pylori can migrate to the…..

Chronic disease reexamined

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and dementia have existed for thousands of years. Ancient Greek and Roman physicians associated old age with increasing dementia. Egyptian and Ayurveda writings, the Bible, and Galen’s writings described symptoms resembling Parkinson’s. In 1817, Dr. James Parkinson described the symptoms of shaking associated with Parkinson’s. In 1901, Dr. Alois Alzheimer described the mental decline and memory loss of Alzheimer’s, and suggested microorganisms may cause senile plaque. In 1912, Dr. Frederic Lewy described microscopic particles, in the brains of…..

Update to Koch’s Postulates

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Koch’s Postulates for scientific research are: 1.) The pathogen is found in an animal or person with a disease; 2.) The germ is isolated and grown in a culture; 3.) The pathogen has been injected in a healthy animal and produced disease; and 4.) The pathogen is recovered from the diseased animal and shown to be the same pathogen. The general acceptance of Koch’s Postulates in scientific research indirectly proves pathogens cause the same diseases, in both animals and humans……
