We continue to study the medical literature after publication of our book, and continue to find substantiation of our central organizing principle for chronic disease. One of the most surprising recent finds was “Latent chlamydial infections: the probable cause of a wide spectrum of human diseases”, originally published in 1992, in Czech and German veterinary journals. The study looked at 746 animal breeders on 31 farms, and a random sub-group of 20 subjects were tested for numerous pathogens. The common finding was a positive test for chlamydia. The study then tested another random sub-group of 157 subjects, and 96% tested positive for chlamydia. The test subjects were followed intensively four times a year, for 12 years.
The study showed a higher rate of health complaints and chronic disease in the animal breeders, a higher number of health complaints and chronic diseases per person, and higher rates of health complaints and chronic disease in non-genetic family members. The research study concluded the cause of a number of health problems and chronic diseases could be identified as latent chlamydia infection. In 2005, knowledge derived from the 1992 study was published in a medical journal, Med Hypothesis.
This important study and the implications of the study for taking a medical history from non-genetically related family members should be known by all medical doctors, and veterinary knowledge should be incorporated into medical thinking about the origin and treatment of chronic diseases.
