Anti-vessel growth drugs (anti-VEGF) were first approved to treat gastrointestinal cancers, and the indications were subsequently expanded to other types of cancer. Doctors use anti-VEGF drugs in an effort to cut-off the blood supply to cancer, and thereby stop or slow the growth of cancer. Anti-VEGF drugs are expensive, at $30,000 per dose; and can cause unintended damage to adjacent tissue. Intracellular chlamydia pathogens damage oxygen transport, across the cell wall; and generate angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels). Dr……
Many believe intestinal bacteria, alone or in combination, cause IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and colon cancer. The ulcers in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are similar to stomach ulcers, but for the ulcers are in the small bowel or colon. H-pylori is known to cause stomach ulcers, stomach cancer, and MALT lymphoma; and has been found in lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and melanoma. Chlamydia pathogens and parasites have also been found in liver, gallbladder, pancreatic, and other types of…..
The pancreas, liver, and gallbladder are connected to the intestinal tract, which allows intestinal pathogens and parasites to migrate to these organs, to evade stomach acid and find new hospitable locations for survival. Chlamydia pathogens and parasites have been found inside tumors in the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver. H-pylori is known to cause stomach cancer, has been “associated” with pancreatic cancer, and has been found inside pancreatic cancer. Gastrointestinal pathogens can migrate to adjacent abdominal organs, and become a focus…..
Cancer is not contagious, but the infections that can cause cancer are contagious. Caretakers and spouses of cancer patients are at higher risk of cancer, due to exposure to the same immortal infections. Farmers have a higher risk of cancer due to frequent close contact with domesticated animals, horses, cats, dogs, and mice; greater risk of exposure to co-infections, with different types of chlamydia, from different animals and from birds; exposure to parasitic infections from animals and soil; and exposure…..
Multiple myeloma is cancer in the plasma cells, which are part of the immune system; and is diagnosed by the presence of M-proteins in the blood and urine. The plasma cells multiply, crowd bone marrow, and produce large amounts of abnormal proteins—in particular, “M-proteins”. Streptococcus and mycoplasma are known to have M-proteins attached to the surface (although other pathogens also have or impact M-proteins). An immune system attack against the pathogen can cause M-proteins to be released into the body…..
Microglia are specialized macrophages, which function as an immune defense in the central nervous system. A recent scientific article reported microglia are the immune cells in the brain, which send signals to cells and receive signals from the periphery and from the gastrointestinal tract. The authors stated, “Microglial dysfunction has been implicated in the onset and progression of several neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases”. The New York Times reported an abnormal protein was found at the center of all gliomas (type…..
Yeast is present in all chronic diseases. In the 1980’s, Tulio Simonchini, M.D., hypothesized yeast was the cause of cancer; and was criticized and persecuted for expressing his opinion. Yeast develops in an environment created by chronic intracellular infection, in response to low oxygen and low ATP in the cell; and the pathogen consuming sugar and causing fermentation. Yeast hides pathogens from the immune system and helps pathogens survive and thrive. A newly diagnosed cancer patient already has chronic immortal…..
Cancer stem cells are being investigated as the originating cell for cancer. Cancer stem cells are thought to be an abnormal version of a normal stem cell, which can generate every type of cell found in the cancerous tumor. Science identified viral infections, within cancer stem cells; and theorized the viruses caused a normal stem cell to become a cancer stem cell. A 2015 laboratory study (posted 6/20/19) showed doxycycline and azithromax eradicated cancer stem cells across multiple tumor…..
Based on recent posts, we decided to re-post our comment from 2/15/19, for all of our new friends and followers: Mental illness is a medical illness! A patient with intractable schizophrenia developed a blood cancer, and received a bone marrow transplant from a brother, who did not have schizophrenia—the patient recovered from schizophrenia, and years later had no symptoms of schizophrenia and did not require any psychiatric medications. A second patient with leukemia, who had no mental illness, received a…..
The study of leukemia has been mired in confusion since its discovery, by Dr. John Bennett, in 1845. Dr. Bennet proposed leukemia was a proliferation of white blood cells, which were thought to be generated by infection and causing pus in the blood, but was never able to find a source for the infection. Today, literature reporting the relationship between infection and leukemia is conflicted—some authors report infections may be protective and others report infections as a risk factor. The…..
