Compare pathogens to chronic diseases

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

The older one gets, the more immortal infections a person acquires, and the higher the overall infectious burden. The more chronic infections and the longer the chronic infections persist—the more likely a person will develop a chronic disease.   Medicine ignores suggestions from scientists and thinkers, patterns suggesting infectious causes, and circumstantial evidence; and resists acknowledging infectious causes of chronic disease. Medical research seeks any possible alternative conclusion—diet, excise, environment, lifestyle, genes, abnormal proteins, inflammation, aging, etc.; and has had…..

Pancreatic cancer can be caused by h-pylori and immortal pathogens

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Pancreatic cancer was the only cancer with rising mortality rates, in 2014. Three well-known precursor lesions involve the pancreatic epithelium and mucous membranes. H-pylori is known to attack epithelium and mucous membranes, then burrow beneath the surface and attach to collagen; and a review of scientific articles showed H-pylori significantly increased the risk of pancreatic cancer. H-pylori can be largely asymptomatic, until the patient develops ulcers, stomach cancer, or other complications. H-pylori is a recognized cause of stomach cancer, and…..

Diabetics and co-morbid kidney disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Diabetics often develop co-morbid kidney disease. The kidney converts the pH in the urine from 7.4 to 6.0, a pH in which intestinal pathogens cannot survive. Urinary tract infections are common in diabetes, due to the inability of the kidney to lower the pH of the urine, and gastrointestinal pathogens cross contaminating the urinary tract. Urine infections can ascend upwards to the kidney, and recurrent urine and kidney infections can damage kidney function.

Diagnostic testing can aid in finding the root causes of chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Chlamydia species hide inside cells; and H-pylori burrows into epithelium and attaches to collagen. Chlamydia pneumonia was found in heart tissue, in patients with negative chlamydia PCR tests. Chlamydia pneumonia was found in tissue from Alzheimer’s brains. H-pylori was found in tissue from gastric bypass surgery.   Many healthcare professionals and veterinarians, from around the world, recognize the importance of immortal pathogens and parasites, in chronic disease. Medicine should investigate pathogens found in tissue at surgery as potential causes of…..

Chlamydia infection can cause and trigger chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Adult onset diabetes can be caused by a chlamydia infection, which causes endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and dysbiosis. Chronic chlamydia creates reduced immunity, and a favorable environment for secondary bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Intestinal parasites can cause mechanical obstruction in the pancreas and common bile duct. Chlamydia pathogens and parasites have been found inside tumors in the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver. (H-pylori is an intestinal pathogen known to cause of cancer, which has also been found in pancreatic cancer).   In…..

A more detailed medical history could help identify causes of chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

A history of prior acute infections, particularly a history of pneumonia, respiratory infections persisting 6 weeks or more, and sexually acquired infections; prior antibiotic treatment, and the type and duration of antibiotics taken; health issues in household members and other close contacts; and contact with pets and domesticated animals, including the health of the animals, should be included in the history of patients with newly diagnosed chronic disease. A more detailed history could aid medicine in identifying triggering events, and…..

The intracellular research group supports infectious causes of chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day, and we take this opportunity to share a remarkable website, which has many experts in the field of intracellular pathogens serving its board. The group posts scientific articles supporting chlamydia pneumonia, trachoma, and emerging chlamydia species, as an infectious cause of Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, asthma, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. The website endorses a broader view of chronic disease, and provides educational information about chlamydia. The intracellular research group, and “The Origin of Disease: The War…..

Inflammation is a sign of chronic infection

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

A study of 106,000 Swedish military recruits, age 16-20, followed an average of 35 years, showed inflammation in the blood at an early age (SED rate ≥ 15) portends early mortality. Recruits with a SED rate higher than 15 had a 36% increased probability of premature death from any cause, a 78% increased risk of death from cancer, a 54% increased risk of cardiovascular mortality, and greater than twice the risk of dying from a heart attack, compared to men…..

Gastrointestinal pathogens and chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Chlamydia pathogens gain entry into the intestinal tract via sinus drainage and lung mucous; and find favorable host tissue along the intestinal tract. H-pylori is an immortal intestinal pathogen, which attacks epithelium, then burrows into and attaches to collagen, creating a portal through which other pathogens gain entry. Common parasitic infections begin as an intestinal infection (giardia, cryptosporidiosis, and/or worms), attach to the intestinal wall, block absorption of nutrition, and compete for nutrition. Pathogens and parasites can migrate from the…..
