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 little success in finding causes or cures. Medicine identifies and categorizes abnormal biochemistry in chronic diseases, including abnormal proteins, inflammation, and fungus—instead of searching for pathogens and parasites that can create the abnormalities. When pathogens are found, the significance of the pathogens may be dismissed as incidental or “associated”.
We need better diagnostic tests for immortal pathogens and parasites; and for diagnostic testing to become the standard, which will enable better understanding of chronic diseases. Comparing pathogens to chronic diseases, and determining the effectiveness of treating pathogens, would bring new understanding and solutions, in chronic disease.
