Penicillin can potentiate chlamydia pneumonia (CP) and cause a false negative PCR test. Penicillin destroys the cell wall of the intracellular pathogen, but not the pathogen. It changes the shape and increases the size of reticulate bodies, extends the life-cycle from 20 to 72 hours, increases the number of elementary bodies, and can enhance the spread and chronicity of CP. In our book we discusses numerous examples across many chronic diseases of patients who likely had an intracellular infection, based…..
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…..
Many types of infection, including but not limited to chlamydia, toxoplasmosis, and covid19, have been linked to the development mental health disorders. Young males exhibiting behavioral problems, depression, and mental health disorders are frequently prescribed SSRI drugs, which increase the level of testosterone; and create a vicious cycle of drug initiation, dependence, drug withdrawal, and drug induced behavioral problems. The period of time when starting and stopping SSRI drugs is the most dangerous time for inducing anger, and violence toward…..
On June 7, 2021, the FDA gave fast-track conditional approval to Aduhelm (aducanumab), a new IV drug for Alzheimer’s given once a month, at a cost of $56,000 per year. Aduhelm removes amyloid beta from the brain and the hope is removing amyloid beta will treat or slow the cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s. The FDA gave Biogen nine years to prove Aduhelm is beneficial in treating or slowing cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s, after clinical studies were inconclusive. Patients receiving Aduhelm…..
IL-6 has been found to be a significant marker for severe disease and death from covid19. Chlamydia organisms have been shown to induce production of IL-6, and high IL-6 has been found in cardiovascular disease and many other chronic diseases. We discussed IL-6 as a marker for several chronic diseases in “The Origin of Disease: The War Within” (including heart disease, depression, aging, “inflammatory diseases”, mortality, etc.). We also discussed how co-infections with chronic chlamydia and viruses can cause more…..
Four chronic diseases account for 63% of severe disease from covid19. Obesity—Diabetes—Hypertension—Heart failure. The report makes sense based on the underlying intracellular pathogens and parasites that cause each of these four diseases. Intracellular pathogens and debris from these pathogens can cohabit intracellularly with viruses, in endothelium, epithelium and stroma. Intracellular pathogens and parasites can also provide a host for a virus. When a pathogen is inside a cell or parasite it is difficult for the immune system to reach…..
“CHRONIC: The Hidden Cost of the Autoimmune Pandemic and How to Get Healthy Again” is a new book which follows the same themes as our book–chronic disease arises from chronic infection, and the medical system should seek to diagnose the root infectious causes of chronic disease. The authors express many ideas and make many observations similar to those made in our book, about the root causes of chronic disease and the how the medical system works today. “CHRONIC” discusses chronic…..
Viruses can only survive and multiply inside a cell or pathogen. Viruses can invade human cells previously infected with intracellular bacteria, and can also invade and become a bacteriophage of other bacterial pathogens. Chronic intracellular infections cause chronic disease. When patients with chronic disease develop covid19 the risk for severe disease and virus variants increases. Intracellular co-infections can confuse the immune system; hide the virus; and trigger an increased inflammatory response, to fight a virus inside a bacteria inside a…..
The NYT article describes how malaria can silently hibernate inside cells during the dry season, and erupt when provoked by a new malaria infection during the rainy season. Similarly, acute infection with intracellular pathogens can become a chronic infection, which hides silently and evades detection by the immune system for years or decades. An acute infection in addition to a chronic infection can become a more severe acute infection, trigger adverse events, or trigger the eruption of chronic disease. For…..
Others have written about [undiagnosed] chronic infection with immortal bacteria in chronic inflammatory diseases. In this 2016 article, the authors suggest a relationship between chlamydia pneumonia and Alzheimer’s, arthritis, asthma, atherosclerosis, and cancer; and that the innate immune system reacts to chronic infection to cause inflammatory disease. An immortal pathogen, or combinations of immortal pathogens, can cause the same or different diseases in different patients. Immortal pathogens trigger an immune system reaction and an infectious cascade. Specialization in medicine separates…..
