These are two amazing photos of lightening striking the Rio Grande Gorge, by Klaus Priebe and Elijah Rael. Let there be light rising from the great divides in medicine, closing the many divides in medicine and seeking new ideas about the causes of chronic disease.
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…..
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
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…..
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…..
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 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/
Co-morbid diseases should be investigated for possible common infectious causes or combinations of infectious causes. A history of acute infections in the patient, family, household animals, and community is necessary, as the triggering acute infectious event may have occurred years or decades before the onset of chronic disease. Co-morbid diseases may be an observation of different stages and/or processes in the evolution of acute disease into chronic disease; and often may be explained by starting with the known effects of…..
When medicine focuses on naming (new) chronic diseases based on symptoms and constellations of symptoms, medicine is creating an infinite list of named chronic diseases and subparts of chronic diseases. Variations in symptoms in people and over time reflect a variation in effect in different people, a progression of the disease, the duration of the chronic disease, or a new observation or thought about the chronic disease at various stages in the evolution of chronic disease. New observations in an…..
Medicine has focused on deconstructing intricate complexities, and now it is time to recognize formerly unrecognized simplicities and patterns, between specialties and between diseases. Acute intracellular infection can become a chronic intracellular infection; and subsequent acute and chronic bacterial and viral infections can also become intracellular. Over time, the mixing of the genetic material of the pathogens inside the cell can lead to cellular fatigue, mutations, and chronic disease. We cannot solve the mysteries of chronic disease until we…..
