Limited standards for testing for pathogens in chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Medical science has not yet incorporated standards for the routine diagnosis of pathogens in chronic disease; and reliable and available testing for pathogens may not yet exist. PCR testing is available; however, many ignore the significance of IgA and IgG; which is contrary to scientific reporting in “CHLAMYDIA Intracellular Biology, Pathogenesis and Immunity”, reporting chlamydia infection persists and spreads as a chronic infection. Abnormal PCR test results for IgA and IgM indicate chronic infection that continues to spread in the…..

Multiple immortal chronic infections increase the risk of chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Many medical scientists have proposed infectious pathogens cause chronic disease, or are associated with chronic disease, for decades. Some propose bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungus; and others specifically state chlamydia species, viruses such as EBV and coronavirus, parasites such as toxoplasmosis and Lyme disease, h-pylori, streptococcus, and others. Many note the impact of specific pathogens and co-pathogens, and the overall infectious burden, as accelerating or worsening chronic disease.   Chlamydia species are intracellular bacteria that can damage cell function and…..

Integration of veterinary and medical knowledge could advance understanding of chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Koalas are thought to be a source of the original spillover of chlamydia pneumonia to humans; and are known to be heavily infected with immortal intracellular pathogens, including chlamydia pneumonia and chlamydia pecorum. The infectious burden in koalas is damaging fertility, limiting lifespan, and threatening koalas with extinction. Tasmanian devils are similarly heavily infected with immortal intracellular pathogens, and similarly threatened with extinction. When Tasmanian devils bite each other, during courting or battle, the animals can transmit an aggressive form…..

Chronic infection and infectious burden in chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

NEW research on the relationship between Cerebral Microbleeds (CMBs) and various chronic #infections AND the #inflammation they drive. We need to pursue the relationship between infectious agents and devastating brain diseases like #alzheimers. All of the main AD suspects are hit in this paper: #herpesviruses #chlamydiapneumoniae #borreliaburgdorferi aka #lyme and others. The idea that chronic pathogenic infection can lead to a number of different disease manifestations (probably due to genetics, load+duration of infection, and other factors) isn’t crazy. We are…..

Chlamydia pneumonia in Alzheimer’s

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

An exciting new study is testing the relationship between chlamydia pneumonia and Alzheimer’s. The study treated patients with Trichostatin A (TSA), givinostat, and RG108, which are effective on epigenetic mechanisms; and the antibiotic rifampin, to reduce neuro-inflammation. Chronic CP can spread to the brain and cause Alzheimer’s, neuro-inflammation, and epigenetic changes; thus, treatments administered in the study had a neuroprotective effect by treating the offending pathogens, and the inflammation and epigenetic changes induced by the pathogen. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34847172/
