Alzheimer’s is not the only disease in which deposits of extracellular lipids, proteins, and cellular debris are found. Chlamydia species are known to generate proteins, debris, clumps and plaque, and the type of chlamydia may determine the type and location of plaque—in the heart, brain, and/or eyes, and inside or outside blood vessels and nerve sheaths. Deposits of clumps of proteins, etc., in the retina, are a predictor of AMD. Alzheimer’s, AMD, and cardiac disease are common co-morbid conditions,…..
The prevalence of multiple sclerosis has been increasing; yet, no definitive test is available which proves the diagnosis of MS. Autoimmune disease in which the body attacks itself is an unprovable assumption—the immune system attacks pathogens. Pathogens and the immune system attack on the pathogens generate debris and trigger inflammation. Many pathogens have been associated with the development or exacerbation of MS, including bacteria (Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae); Staphylococcus aureus-produced enterotoxins; viruses (Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus, cytomegaly virus); and…..
Medical science has not yet incorporated standards for the routine diagnosis of pathogens in chronic disease; and reliable and available testing for pathogens may not yet exist. PCR testing is available; however, many ignore the significance of IgA and IgG; which is contrary to scientific reporting in “CHLAMYDIA Intracellular Biology, Pathogenesis and Immunity”, reporting chlamydia infection persists and spreads as a chronic infection. Abnormal PCR test results for IgA and IgM indicate chronic infection that continues to spread in the…..
Many medical scientists have proposed infectious pathogens cause chronic disease, or are associated with chronic disease, for decades. Some propose bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungus; and others specifically state chlamydia species, viruses such as EBV and coronavirus, parasites such as toxoplasmosis and Lyme disease, h-pylori, streptococcus, and others. Many note the impact of specific pathogens and co-pathogens, and the overall infectious burden, as accelerating or worsening chronic disease. Chlamydia species are intracellular bacteria that can damage cell function and…..
NEW research on the relationship between Cerebral Microbleeds (CMBs) and various chronic #infections AND the #inflammation they drive. We need to pursue the relationship between infectious agents and devastating brain diseases like #alzheimers. All of the main AD suspects are hit in this paper: #herpesviruses #chlamydiapneumoniae #borreliaburgdorferi aka #lyme and others. The idea that chronic pathogenic infection can lead to a number of different disease manifestations (probably due to genetics, load+duration of infection, and other factors) isn’t crazy. We are…..
An exciting new study is testing the relationship between chlamydia pneumonia and Alzheimer’s. The study treated patients with Trichostatin A (TSA), givinostat, and RG108, which are effective on epigenetic mechanisms; and the antibiotic rifampin, to reduce neuro-inflammation. Chronic CP can spread to the brain and cause Alzheimer’s, neuro-inflammation, and epigenetic changes; thus, treatments administered in the study had a neuroprotective effect by treating the offending pathogens, and the inflammation and epigenetic changes induced by the pathogen. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34847172/
Studies have linked higher levels of TNF-alpha and Interleukin-6 in the elderly to faster aging and higher mortality, independent of other lifestyle risk factors (smoking, diet and exercise). Plasma levels of TNF-alpha correlated with levels of IL-6 and C-reactive protein. The study indirectly supports chronic chlamydia infection accelerates aging, because chlamydia generates TNF-alpha, IL-6, and C-reactive protein. Community acquired chlamydia pneumonia, sexually acquired chlamydia, and chlamydia acquired from birds, are difficult for the immune system to eradicate, which causes the…..
Cardiac disease, macular degeneration and Alzheimer’s are common co-morbid conditions. The reason these co-morbidities occur is because each arises from a common root cause—chronic chlamydia pneumonia (CP). CP damages the endothelium inside blood vessels and at the blood brain barrier, and causes the build-up of plaque and narrowing of vessels. CP also causes angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and many other adverse effects. CP can impair cardiac function by damaging endothelium inside blood vessels, and depositing plaque…..
Dr. Marshall discovered a bacteria (h-pylori) caused stomach ulcers in the early 1980’s. The public learned of his discovery in the early 1990’s, when it was reported in the National Enquirer. It took more than 10 years for his discovery ulcers were a treatable infection for treatment of ulcers as an infection to become part of routine medical practice—when the public learned of the discovery and demanded treatment. Dr. Balin first published finding infectious bacteria in the brains of Alzheimer’s…..
The medical system identifies symptoms and findings, names diseases, and offers symptomatic treatment. John D. Rockefeller made his fortune in a German pharmaceutical company, by implementing a campaign against the use of natural (herbal) remedies, so that he could put plant compounds into a pill and obtain patents for the pills. He once said “A pill for every ill”. The medical system often continues with the goal in research and treatment of “a pill for every ill”, rather than a…..
