It is never too early or too late to improve reading skills

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

In “The Origin of Disease: The War Within”, we discussed the importance of developing a fixed gaze by age seven. We also discussed the connection between binocular vision and dyslexia, and the overlap between the vision centers and the reading centers of the brain. We suggested using vision therapy to improve reading in children with dyslexia, because when the eyes do not track together to decode letters and smoothly scan a line on the page, over time the area of…..

Chlamydia pneumonia can evolve into Alzheimer’s disease over time

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

We are excited to share this post from the Intracell Research Group, and the latest article published Feb. 17, 1922, on the role of chlamydia pneumonia in Alzheimer’s disease. The article validates what we said in the book, on our prior social media posts, and in other forums, with regard to chronic chlamydia pneumonia causing Alzheimer’s, and the mechanisms by which the pathogen evolves into Alzheimer’s over time. https://www.facebook.com/1988481734755155/posts/3115255915411059/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-06749-9?fbclid=IwAR0FBwRyXOxocNy5jxf9dkomTqRBFk-EvkLMnY-y_RNqqyknoUOMJcB31vw

Buyer beware in medical devices and cosmetics

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

The FDA mission is to protect the public with regard to food, drugs and cosmetics. In the 1990’s the FDA added the regulation of medical devices. The FDA does not do any clinical studies nor write any labeling—it reviews paperwork. In the past the FDA advocated to limit patients’ right to seek compensation for harm caused by medical devices, thereby advocating for immunity for medical device manufacturers and limiting notice of harm to the FDA. Some argue the FDA can…..

TLRs and cancer

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

TLR agonists were discussed in our book, including the potential beneficial use of TLRs in cancer. Imiquimod, a TLR-7, is a cream applied to the skin, which activates the immune system to attack in the area where it is applied. Imiquimod was shown to act against breast cancer topically, and to act against metastatic tumors. The application of Imiquimod likely programmed immune cells to attack cancer locally, and then the re-programmed immune cells spread systemically to attack metastatic cancer. We…..

Replace assumptions with diagnosis

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Medical science is being unfair to patients, when stress, depression, a mental disorder, autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease, or something unique about the patient, is given as the reason for the patient’s illness—until infectious/parasitic origins of the disease to which these assumptions are applied are ruled out. These assumptions were applied to ulcers for decades, and patients with ulcers suffered unnecessary pain, self-blame, and death before the assumptions were proved wrong—ulcers are an infection caused by a bacteria (h-pylori) which could…..

Bacteria, prions, and neurologic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

• Bacteria have adhesion molecules on the surface. • Bacteria have proteins on the surface, which can bend, break and/or fold. • Bent and folded proteins are named prions. • Prions are found in neurologic diseases in both humans and animals. • Amyloid is a clump of prions. • Amyloid clumps are present in many neurological diseases. • Amyloid clumps may be prions and adhesion molecules generated by bacteria. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/04/180406155332.htm https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/mmi.14448 https://parasiteecology.wordpress.com/2015/03/11/mad-cow-disease/
