Chlamydia can host other bacteria and viruses; and other bacteria, viruses, and parasites can host chlamydia, as ecto-symbionts or endo-symbionts. Ecto-symbionts are pathogens that can attach to the outside of another pathogen and endo-symbionts can live inside another pathogen. Whether a pathogen becomes an ecto-symbiont or an endo-symbiont is determined by size, and the ability of the pathogen to invade the pathogen or parasite. Larger pathogens may become an ecto-symbiont to smaller pathogens, and smaller pathogens may become an endo-symbiont…..
Depression has been “associated” (a co-morbid condition) with most chronic “inflammatory” and “autoimmune” diseases, including heart attack, heart disease, stroke, cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes, arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, ALS, fibromyalgia, hypothyroid, chronic pain, and HIV. Co-morbid conditions can have the same root cause—infectious pathogens, which can cause depression and other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Patients with depression have high levels of TNF-alpha, IL-1B (interleukin), and IL-6. Patients with symptoms of depression and coronary artery disease have higher levels of…..
