Very few chronic diseases are named or diagnosed based on root causes. Science knows the microbiology and pathogenesis (physical effect) of many different bacteria, viruses and parasites. Many books have been written on the microbiology and pathogenesis of immortal pathogens. Yet, when the effect of a pathogen is known, and the effect is identified or found in a patient, the patient is often diagnosed by naming a symptom rather than diagnosing the pathogen causing the symptom. For instance, “mitochondrial…..

CFS symptoms can vary in each person, and include poor sleep, malaise, depression, stress, anxiety, loss of memory and concentration, dizziness, and orthostatic intolerance, impacting daily…..
Chronic chlamydia infection spreads to host cells throughout the body; and as a greater number of cells become infected, a greater number of cells are deprived of the energy and oxygen necessary for cell function, and endothelial damage becomes more widespread. Chlamydia pneumonia can also spread through smooth muscles, and chlamydia DNA has been found in muscles and joints. Chlamydia pathogens infect immune cells attempting to fight the pathogen, causing damage to immune function. When the patient has more than…..
