Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis are similar diseases—Parkinson’s occurs in the brain and multiple sclerosis in the central nervous system. Pathogens found in multiple sclerosis include chlamydia pneumonia, chlamydia psittacosis, chlamydia trachoma, h-pylori and toxoplasmosis; all can invade the central nervous system; and, alone or in combination, are likely causes of multiple sclerosis. The causes of MS can be diagnosed, and treatment of diagnosed chronic infections may benefit the patient.
Chlamydia pneumonia’s has the strongest correlation with MS, because it is the most significant cause, because it facilitates co-infections, or because it is a common pathogen in the population. Chlamydia pneumonia was found in the cerebral spinal fluid of 97% of MS patients; and a google search for “chlamydia pneumonia AND multiple sclerosis” yielded 963,000 references. Owners of birds (chlamydia psittacosis) have a higher rate is MS; and MS patients have a higher rate of H-pylori. MS occurs in both people and animals, and can occur in clusters. Dr. Stratton reported an acute respiratory infection often precedes a worsening of MS, and that MS patients had a dramatic neurological improvement when treated for chlamydia pneumonia.
