63% of severe covid19 cases have one of four chronic diseases

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

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…..

Chlamydia trachoma causes reproductive diseases and chronic diseases in women and men

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Chlamydia trachoma is the most common sexually transmitted disease, with 92,000,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Chlamydia trachoma infects the reproductive tract and can spread to other organs and parts of the body, including the urethra, cervix, mouth, rectum, and kidney, in women; and the urethra, prostate, mouth, rectum, and kidney, in men.   Once infected, trachoma may act differently in women and men, symptoms can change over time, and the infection may become asymptomatic as it evolves into a…..

Diabetes and co-morbid conditions have the same cause

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Co-morbid diseases in diabetes are cardiovascular disease (heart attack, stroke, hypertension), kidney disease, intestinal disease (dysbiosis, metabolic syndrome, obesity), sleep disorders, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, sleep disorders, eye disease, depression, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and cancer.  97% of patients with diabetes have one co-morbid disease, and 90% have two or more co-morbid diseases.  The co-morbid diseases in diabetes are caused by the same pathogens and parasites that caused the diabetes.

Diabetics and co-morbid kidney disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Diabetics often develop co-morbid kidney disease. The kidney converts the pH in the urine from 7.4 to 6.0, a pH in which intestinal pathogens cannot survive. Urinary tract infections are common in diabetes, due to the inability of the kidney to lower the pH of the urine, and gastrointestinal pathogens cross contaminating the urinary tract. Urine infections can ascend upwards to the kidney, and recurrent urine and kidney infections can damage kidney function.

Chlamydia infection can cause and trigger chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Adult onset diabetes can be caused by a chlamydia infection, which causes endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, and dysbiosis. Chronic chlamydia creates reduced immunity, and a favorable environment for secondary bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Intestinal parasites can cause mechanical obstruction in the pancreas and common bile duct. Chlamydia pathogens and parasites have been found inside tumors in the pancreas, gallbladder, and liver. (H-pylori is an intestinal pathogen known to cause of cancer, which has also been found in pancreatic cancer).   In…..

Gastrointestinal pathogens and chronic disease

Carolyn Merchant Blog 0 0

Chlamydia pathogens gain entry into the intestinal tract via sinus drainage and lung mucous; and find favorable host tissue along the intestinal tract. H-pylori is an immortal intestinal pathogen, which attacks epithelium, then burrows into and attaches to collagen, creating a portal through which other pathogens gain entry. Common parasitic infections begin as an intestinal infection (giardia, cryptosporidiosis, and/or worms), attach to the intestinal wall, block absorption of nutrition, and compete for nutrition. Pathogens and parasites can migrate from the…..

Trachoma is not always sexually acquired

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

Trachoma is a highly contagious pathogen, which is spread by direct contact. Serovars A-C attack the eyes; and can be acquired from insects and flies, and through contact with contaminated objects such as a shared towel. Serovars D-K are sexually acquired, and attack the reproductive and urinary tracts, of both men and women. Serovars L1, L2, and L3 attack the lymphatic system, and cause eye diseases (lymphogranuloma conjunctivitis and lymphogranuloma venereum).   Trachoma can cause many chronic diseases; however, articles…..

Diabetes and co-morbid conditions can have a common root cause

Carolyn Merchant Blog 2 0

Diabetics have high blood sugar, high lipids, fatty liver disease, and inflammation, which can cause tissue damage throughout the body. Diabetic patients are at high risk for heart attack, stroke, and Alzheimer’s disease; and some estimate 70% of patients with type-2 diabetes will develop Alzheimer’s. Diabetic patients have an increased the risk of cancer of the breast, ovary, and kidney. Co-morbid conditions include cardiovascular disease, recurrent urine infections, kidney disease, metabolic disease, sleep apnea, cognitive decline, and reduced immunity to infections……

Infection may precede diabetes

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

The medical system assumes infections follow diabetes type-2 (adult-onset diabetes), when it may be that diabetes follows acute or chronic infections. Chlamydia pneumonia can damage pancreatic beta cells. Past chlamydia trachoma increases the risk of type-2 diabetes by 82%. Intestinal infections increase the risk of diabetes by 88%. A history of chlamydia, viral infections, AND intestinal infections, created a risk “almost as high as a high body mass index”. Viral infections can become bacteriophages (attach to) of chlamydia, and chlamydia…..

Juvenile diabetes and severe acute infection

Carolyn Merchant Blog 1 0

29,000,000 people in the U.S. suffer from diabetes.  5% of the patients suffer from Type-1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes). Type-1 diabetes develops in childhood, and is thought to be an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks the islet cells in the pancreas. Type-1 diabetes is known to develop after a severe acute infection. The scientific literature has postulated juvenile diabetes is caused by a Coxsackie virus, a rotavirus, a cytomegaly virus, mumps, or rubella.  Some Coxsackie viruses are believed…..
