We have been concerned about the impact of covid19 in patients with underlying chronic infections, particularly chlamydia psittacosis (also other forms of chlamydia, chronic streptococcus, and toxoplasmosis). Common sense suggests the rate of psittacosis in the population is much higher than reported, considering the prevalence of psittacosis in birds worldwide; the correlation between bird populations, bird migratory routes, and chronic diseases; the number and rate of chronic diseases known to be caused by psittacosis; and the lack of awareness. …..
Getting vaccinated against covid19 protects the person, family, community and society. However, vaccine hesitancy has caused low vaccination rates in some parts of the country and a pandemic among the unvaccinated. Publicly available information on the safety and protection provided by the vaccination has not convinced many who remain vaccine hesitant. Another issue to consider is—we do not know the long term impact of covid, in 20-30 years. Will the acute illness resolve, without further impact? Or, will it…..
Many types of infection, including but not limited to chlamydia, toxoplasmosis, and covid19, have been linked to the development mental health disorders. Young males exhibiting behavioral problems, depression, and mental health disorders are frequently prescribed SSRI drugs, which increase the level of testosterone; and create a vicious cycle of drug initiation, dependence, drug withdrawal, and drug induced behavioral problems. The period of time when starting and stopping SSRI drugs is the most dangerous time for inducing anger, and violence toward…..
SSRI drugs (for depression) are on the list of the violent 5, and on the list of the 10 most violence inducing drugs prescribed today. The FDA has documented more than 15,000 acts of violence caused by SSRI drugs; and considering the FDA gets reports of fewer than 1 in 100 adverse events, SSRI drugs could represent more than 150,000 acts of violence. An SSRI patient is 800 times more likely to be involved in a violent act toward self…..
Pfizer halted the sale of Chantix, a smoking cessation drug approved by the FDA in 2006, due high levels of carcinogens found in some of the pills. Chantix is also number one on the list of the “violent five”—the top five most violence inducing drugs. Chantix was reported in 2015 to be 18 times more likely to result in violence toward self and others. Violence toward self and others is a significantly under-reported adverse drug event. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/953780?src= https://www.researchgate.net/publication/49703495_Prescription_Drugs_Associated_with_Reports_of_Violence_Towards_Others https://www.cchrflorida.org/top-five-psychiatric-drugs-linked-to-violence
On June 7, 2021, the FDA gave fast-track conditional approval to Aduhelm (aducanumab), a new IV drug for Alzheimer’s given once a month, at a cost of $56,000 per year. Aduhelm removes amyloid beta from the brain and the hope is removing amyloid beta will treat or slow the cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s. The FDA gave Biogen nine years to prove Aduhelm is beneficial in treating or slowing cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s, after clinical studies were inconclusive. Patients receiving Aduhelm…..
Toxoplasmosis is caused by an intracellular parasite transmitted by cats that can cause a variety of chronic diseases. It is most closely connected to psychiatric diseases, but can cause a wide range of chronic diseases in the body and brain, from neurologic diseases, to eye diseases, to psychiatric diseases, to brain cancer. Literature confirms the toxoplasma parasite can travel from the intestine to the brain and can alter genes. The toxoplasma parasite can cross the placenta and cause neurologic damage…..
Psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and intestinal illness are “associated” and co-morbid conditions in many chronic diseases, ranging from mental illness to cancer. Chronic intracellular infection and the infectious cascade can cause skin disease through self-inoculation and eruption, and painful joints through spread of the pathogen and inflammation caused by chronic infection. Over time, chronic intracellular infection can become many different chronic diseases, and co-morbid conditions, in different patients. In diagnosing the root causes of chronic disease and seeking to discover…..
The FDA does far less to protect us than generally believed, leading to potentially dangerous situations due to improper reliance on the FDA. The FDA is authorized to review food, drugs (and medical devices), and cosmetics. The FDA does no clinical studies, and does not write labeling—the FDA reviews paperwork, listens to presenters, and relies on the honesty of the manufacturers and their expert presenters. Approximately 95% of drugs and devices have been approved for marketing under a grandfather…..
The “intracell research group” held an interesting conference today on pre-morbid conditions in Alzheimer’s disease, and the recording will be posted on their website shortly, in two parts. (intracellresearchgroup.com) One presenter made the point hundreds of thousands of studies have been published identifying observations and findings in Alzheimer’s, but few if any with conclusions on causation. He stated we must first know the cause before we can find effective solutions, because if we can pinpoint one or more causes we…..
