Dr. Warburg’s discoveries in cancer

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

In 1931, Dr. Otto Warburg discovered the main property of cancer cells was low oxygen. His primary hypothesis was cancer is a mitochondrial dysfunction; and the consequence of replacement of respiration in normal cells, with fermentation of sugar. He believed cancer had one prime cause, replacement of oxygen in normal cells with fermentation and sugar. We now know cancer cells consume and thrive on sugar, and abnormal sugar metabolism in the cells changes the micro-environment in the cell, and fosters…..

The cancer parasite–pleomorphic microbes

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Pleomorphic microbes are microbes which have the ability to alter their shape and size, in response to environmental conditions. In 1890, Dr. William Russell found “pleomorphic” microbes, and the immune cells fighting the microbes, “wandering” inside and outside cancer tumors. The microbes had the ability to infect and change the shape of the immune cells. He was unable to culture the microbes, and referred to “the parasite of cancer”, which others later referred to as the “Russell body”. Dr. Russell…..

Chlamydia and the P-53 gene in cancer

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Elephants have a very low rate of cancer; and humans have an approximately 40% chance of developing cancer. Why? One explanation is humans have one copy of the P-53 tumor suppressor gene, and elephants have 20 copies of the P-53 gene.  Immortal pathogens can be the originating root cause of cancer, and can also damage the functioning of the P-53 gene. Damage to the P-53 gene reduces the ability of the immune system to suppress cancer cells, and provides an…..

Cancer has existed for millennia

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

Evidence of bone cancer was found in a 240-million year old turtle, which was the oldest recorded cancer in a reptile. The earliest description of cancer, in humans, is 1600 BC; and cancer may have been described in manuscripts from 2500 BC. Evidence of cancer has been found in ancient manuscripts, fossilized human bones, and human mummies. Remains of a young-adult male in northern Sudan, from 1200 BC, showed multiple lesions on the vertebrae, ribs, sternum, clavicles, scapulae, pelvis, and…..

Mental illness is a medical illness: mental illness and Parkinson’s disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

An article in “Neurology”,  on May, 22, 2019, reported patients with bipolar disorder are seven times more likely to develop Parkinson’s disease at ratios of 140:1 vs. 1000:1.  The article also reported a higher risk of Parkinson’s disease in patients with a psychiatric admission for manic, mixed, or depressive psychiatric disorders.  Schizophrenia and other mental illnesses have also been reported by others to be improved or cured using low dose antibiotics and/or anti-parasitics. A reasonable explanation is that mental illness…..

Animal pathogens transmitted to humans

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

The microbiome of cats and dogs are 50% similar to each other, but neither have a microbiome similar to humans. Cats have millions of pathogens on their fur from licking themselves, and petting a cat or dog will transfer at least 150 new animal pathogens onto the skin, which can be self-inoculated to the eyes, nose or mouth. Pets allowed to sleep on the bed can transmit the pathogens to the bed and to humans who sleep in the bed……

Transmission of chlamydia from animals to humans

Carolyn Merchant Blog 2 0

Transmission of Chlamydia pathogens from pets and domesticated animals to humans is well established. Chlamydia infections have crossed over to humans from cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, guinea pigs, birds, dogs, cats, snakes, and monkeys. Chlamydia is also easily transmitted to experimental animals, including mice, monkeys and rabbits; and Koch’s Principles prove humans and animals get the same diseases. Chlamydia transmitted from one animal species to another animal species, allows new forms of Chlamydia to evolve; and when immortal pathogens…..

Chlamydia in animals has the same effects

Carolyn Merchant Blog 4 0

In 1971, Dr. Johannes Storz, DVM, Ph.D., a professor at LSU, described his research into chlamydia-induced diseases in animals. “CHLAMYDIA AND CHLAMYDIA INDUCED DISEASES”. He reported chlamydia had the same cellular effects in animals as occur in humans, including amino acid requirements that affected energy metabolism in infected cells, an arrested cell cycle of apoptosis, and folic acid synthesis by some strains. Dr. Storz reported chlamydia in chickens, ducks, egrets, parrots, partridges, pheasants, sea gulls, and turkeys; and because of…..

Criticism of new ideas thwarts and delays innovation

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

Doctors motivated to ease suffering, improve the quality of patients’ lives, and reduce the burden of disease, have been criticized, ridiculed, ostracized and ignored, for expressing new ideas. Hippocrates was criticized for saying diseases had a cause. Dr. Samelweiss was fired from the hospital staff and ostracized, after he proved deaths of infants delivered in the hospital were caused by germs on the doctors’ hands and on dirty sheets. Dr. Rous was ridiculed for his discovery of an infectious cause…..

Immortal pathogens defined

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Immortal pathogens include bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which are intracellular or parasitic, and difficult to eradicate.  Immortal pathogens cause acute illness and thereafter persist as chronic infections; and a person does not acquire immunity to the pathogens.  The person develops reduced immune function, as immortal bacteria infect white blood cells and spread chronic infections.  The immortal pathogens spread, unrecognized, for months, years, or decades, until the chronic infection evolves into a chronic disease.
