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…..
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 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.
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…..
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 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…..
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……
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…..
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…..
Diabetics have less diversity in their microbiota, and increased inflammatory markers. Obesity has been strongly linked to the development of diabetes. Akkmanseria mucinphilia (a human intestinal mucin-degrading bacterium) is 3,000 times more common in thin mice, than in obese mice. Obese mice harvest more energy from food than thin mice; and when microbiotia from obese mice were transplanted into thin mice, the thin mice gained weight. In a 2012 Dutch study, the microbiota from super-thin men was transplanted into…..
