Streptococcal disease was first described by Hippocrates. Streptococcus is a gram positive bacteria, for which the first vector is believed to have been soil. Streptococcus starts as an extracellular pathogen, covered in abnormal proteins to protect the pathogen from attack by the immune system. During the immune system attack against the pathogen, debris from the pathogen and the abnormal proteins can become intracellular. Different types of streptococcus may damage different organs (heart, kidney, skin, brain, etc.), and/or have varying levels…..
PANDAS is an acronym for a sudden onset mental disorder in children, which develops after an acute strep infection. Children may develop sudden onset obsessions, compulsions, OCD, anxiety, lability, motor or vocal tics, enuresis, deterioration in handwriting, etc. It is reasonable to believe adults can also get acute strep, and similarly develop PANDAS, although little research has been done on adults with problem behaviors or a mental health diagnosis. Strep has as many as 75 variants, some more virulent than…..
TLR agonists were discussed in our book, including the potential beneficial use of TLRs in cancer. Imiquimod, a TLR-7, is a cream applied to the skin, which activates the immune system to attack in the area where it is applied. Imiquimod was shown to act against breast cancer topically, and to act against metastatic tumors. The application of Imiquimod likely programmed immune cells to attack cancer locally, and then the re-programmed immune cells spread systemically to attack metastatic cancer. We…..
Medical science is being unfair to patients, when stress, depression, a mental disorder, autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease, or something unique about the patient, is given as the reason for the patient’s illness—until infectious/parasitic origins of the disease to which these assumptions are applied are ruled out. These assumptions were applied to ulcers for decades, and patients with ulcers suffered unnecessary pain, self-blame, and death before the assumptions were proved wrong—ulcers are an infection caused by a bacteria (h-pylori) which could…..
Patients with psoriasis have a higher mortality rate than the general population, particularly from cancer, CVD, and pneumonia. Psoriatic arthritis is a progression of psoriasis, to psoriasis plus joint pain. Chlamydia psittacosis, a bird pathogen, is an intracellular bacteria with the potential to cause psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ocular melanoma, skin melanoma, and cancer; and to induce variants when combined with intracellular viruses. The correlation between psoriasis, CVD, pneumonia and cancer; the reported correlations between these conditions and chlamydia psittacosis; and…..
Toxoplasmosis is caused by an intracellular parasite transmitted by cats that can cause a variety of chronic diseases. It is most closely connected to psychiatric diseases, but can cause a wide range of chronic diseases in the body and brain, from neurologic diseases, to eye diseases, to psychiatric diseases, to brain cancer. Literature confirms the toxoplasma parasite can travel from the intestine to the brain and can alter genes. The toxoplasma parasite can cross the placenta and cause neurologic damage…..
Medical research is done within each medical specialty, limited by specialty knowledge, interest and funding. Medical research proposes narrow hypotheses as to what the study may find, then reports the observations, findings, and “associations”, in a scientific publication. Medical research is often directed to reporting small details, observations, findings, and associations, hoping an answer will reveal itself (to someone else). Even when a pathogen is identified, it is called an “association”, without follow-up studies to determine if the pathogen causes…..
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…..
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 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…..
