Cats, toxoplasmosis, cancer, and chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Toxoplasmosis can cause a variety of cancers, and should not be considered benign in adults. The higher the toxoplasmosis titer, the greater the risk. Virtually all cats acquire toxoplasmosis during their lifespan, but are most likely to acquire toxoplasmosis at a young age. Toxoplasmosis is most transmissible to humans within three weeks after the cat acquires toxoplasmosis; and can also become airborne and spread from litterboxes which are not frequently changed. Cats are the only known reservoir for toxoplasmosis, and…..

Toxoplasmosis can become a variety of chronic diseases

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Cats are the only known reservoir for toxoplasma gondii, a parasite transmitted from cats to humans, which causes toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is assumed to be a self-limiting disease in patients older than five; and only warrants treatment in patients under five. Toxoplasmosis should not be assumed to be self-limiting or harmless. Parasites live off the energy of the host, can spread silently to preferred locations in the body over decades, and can survive and multiply as long as the host lives……

The eyes are a window into health

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

The eyes are the window to the soul: The eyes are also a window into health! The eye is a microcosm of what is happening inside the body, can predict and identify chronic disease, and can give clues to the pathogens involved in chronic disease. The vessels in the eye can predict cardiovascular disease, heart attack, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease, before these diseases are diagnosed. The iris can potentially predict cancer, metastatic cancer, and the organs affected by cancer. During…..

Chlamydia trachoma and cancer

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

A 2012 article reported chlamydia trachoma damages the cell wall membranes, and the PARP mechanism for normal cell death (apoptosis)—a hallmark of cancer.  PARP inhibitors are effective in treating fast growing and aggressive tumors that thrive in a low oxygen environment—the tumors most resistant to traditional cancer therapy. PARP inhibitors are being used in breast, ovarian, epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer; and are being studied in colorectal, prostate, and non-small cell lung cancer, and in melanoma. In 2018,…..

Chlamydia trachoma causes reproductive diseases and chronic diseases in women and men

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Chlamydia trachoma is the most common sexually transmitted disease, with 92,000,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Chlamydia trachoma infects the reproductive tract and can spread to other organs and parts of the body, including the urethra, cervix, mouth, rectum, and kidney, in women; and the urethra, prostate, mouth, rectum, and kidney, in men.   Once infected, trachoma may act differently in women and men, symptoms can change over time, and the infection may become asymptomatic as it evolves into a…..

Sexually transmitted pathogens can cause many chronic diseases

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

The reproductive system is a portal for immortal pathogens. Sexually transmitted pathogens are a significant risk to long term health; and can spread from the reproductive tract, to the urinary tract, and ascend upwards to the kidney. Sexually transmitted pathogens can cause a variety of chronic diseases, over time (reproductive disease, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, neurologic disease, cancer).

Chlamydia psittaci can cause a variety of chronic diseases

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

We list ten articles on chlamydia psittacosis, to show the variety of chronic diseases in which psittacosis is already suspected or known to be a cause. Many other articles are available supporting psittaci in MALT lymphoma, and in other chronic diseases. We list only the titles, for brevity; so those who wish will be able to find the actual articles. Chlamydia psittaci (avian chlamydia) is a dangerous pathogen, which can cause death when untreated, or become a chronic infection and…..

Psittacosis can cause many chronic diseases

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Chlamydia species can be transmitted from one animal species to another, such as birds-to-cattle, birds-to-horses, and sheep-to-cattle; and from animals-to-humans and humans-to-animals. Animals may be co-infected with more than one type of chlamydia; and chlamydia psittaci (bird chlamydia) can mix in co-infected animals, to generate new serovars. Animals and humans can develop the same chronic diseases—from the same immortal pathogens. In 1982, chlamydia psittaci was isolated from the lungs of a horse with a fatal respiratory infection. A psittaci pathogen…..

Pancreatic cancer can be caused by h-pylori and immortal pathogens

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Pancreatic cancer was the only cancer with rising mortality rates, in 2014. Three well-known precursor lesions involve the pancreatic epithelium and mucous membranes. H-pylori is known to attack epithelium and mucous membranes, then burrow beneath the surface and attach to collagen; and a review of scientific articles showed H-pylori significantly increased the risk of pancreatic cancer. H-pylori can be largely asymptomatic, until the patient develops ulcers, stomach cancer, or other complications. H-pylori is a recognized cause of stomach cancer, and…..

Co-factors in triggering chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Viral infections, chronic bacterial co-infections, parasites, environmental triggers, chemicals, and/or drugs are synergistic with chlamydia pathogens in triggering and exacerbating chronic disease. Studies in Africa, in areas where childhood cancer is endemic, identified endemic EBV (mononucleosis), in 100% of patients with Burkett’s lymphoma. Burkett’s lymphoma is also four times more common in men. Most people are infected with EBV in their life; yet, not all patients with EBV develop Burkett’s lymphoma. EBV, HIV, and malaria are examples of co-morbid triggers,…..
