Science often fails to consider immortal pathogens as a potential cause of chronic disease, that animals can be a vector for transmission of immortal pathogens to humans, and important existing knowledge across a variety of scientific fields, including veterinary medicine. Little is known about 95% of intracellular animal pathogens thought to exist, and immortal intracellular pathogens may be difficult to identify. Co-morbid conditions may be caused by the same immortal pathogens; and patients infected with different immortal pathogens or multiple pathogens may have the same chronic disease. The accepted scientific method limits discovery of infectious causes of chronic disease that evolve silently as a chronic infection, over years and decades, causing a cascade of symptoms and effects, until becoming a chronic disease.
The United States spends over $80 billion every year on medical research, which has not yet revealed the root causes of many chronic disease. Patients spend hundreds of billions every year on symptomatic treatment for chronic disease. The splintering of knowledge has limited discovery, and the treatment of symptoms has become prohibitively expensive. Reasoning from what is already known may provide many answers.
We offer two quotes from Albert Einstein:
“We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what
nature has revealed to us.” … and
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used
when we created them.”
