The scientific evidence is mounting—chlamydia species cause neurodegenerative diseases. Chlamydia pneumonia has repeatedly been linked to Alzheimer’s disease; and chlamydia pneumonia is known to generate beta-amyloid plaque, such as found in Alzheimer’s brains. Chlamydia trachoma has been linked to Parkinson’s disease; and chlamydia trachoma generates excess alpha-synuclein proteins, which is found in Parkinson’s disease. Chlamydia pneumonia and trachoma also generate inclusion cysts and protein aggregates, which are found in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases. Many chlamydia species…..
Medicine has now named a new form of dementia, called limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE)—a type of dementia that mimics Alzheimer disease (AD) but is caused by TDP-43 protein deposits in the brain, rather than the beta-amyloid deposits of Alzheimer’s, and primarily affects people older than 80 years. The protein deposits in Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and ALS are thought to be comprised of TDP-43. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/912556 More than one pathogen or combination of pathogens can cause the same disease; and an…..
No long-term study has been done to determine whether patients, who were previously treated with low-dose macrolides, cyclines, or quinolones, for acute and/or chronic infection, have a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease. The same immortal pathogens can cause cardiovascular disease; and studies showed patients treated in the prior three years with azithromycin, clarithromycin, or quinolones, for any reason, had a significant reduction in acute heart attack, stroke, and cardiac death. Male patients with cardiac disease and a…..
We have 42,000,000 million proteins inside each cell. Chlamydia lives inside the cell; and H-pylori and/or its fragments can become intracellular. The pathogens foster a sticky intracellular environment, causing proteins to stick together and fold into abnormal shapes; and dispersion of abnormal proteins into adjacent tissue, the blood, and lymphatics. In Parkinson’s, Lewy body proteins develop inside the nerve cell, i.e. intracellularly. In Alzheimer’s, clumps of proteins form outside the cells, between the nerves; and the clumps are larger than…..
Lewy bodies are abnormal aggregates of proteins that develop inside nerves, in Parkinson’s disease, Lewy Body dementia, and other brain diseases. An aggregate of abnormal proteins can occur when normal or abnormal proteins stick together, and/or fold into abnormal shapes. Immortal pathogens have abnormal proteins attached to the surface, which confuse the immune system; and generate a sticky environment inside the cell that causes intracellular proteins to fold improperly. As the pathogens spread, abnormal proteins are dispersed into the body…..
A 2016 article reported many studies show a higher prevalence of H-pylori infection in Parkinson’s patients; however, the final hypothesis was H-pylori interferes with absorption of Parkinson’s medications. Malabsorption may be a factor, but can develop in any chronic infection with immortal bacteria and/or parasites, during the infectious cascade. The article overlooked that H-pylori can migrate or metastasize to the brain to cause Parkinson’s. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4828559/ Studies in Brazil found low dose doxycycline was effective in treating Parkinson’s disease and reducing…..
Parkinson’s disease is a demyelinating disease, meaning the outer covering of the nerve sheath is being destroyed. Parkinson’s disease is caused by chronic infection, which has invaded the brain; and may be caused by more than one pathogen or combination of pathogens. H-pylori, chlamydia trachoma, and chlamydia pneumonia have all been “associated” with Parkinson’s disease, can invade the brain, and generate abnormally shaped proteins and inclusion cysts. H-pylori is most strongly “associated” with Parkinson’s disease. H-pylori can migrate to the…..
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and dementia have existed for thousands of years. Ancient Greek and Roman physicians associated old age with increasing dementia. Egyptian and Ayurveda writings, the Bible, and Galen’s writings described symptoms resembling Parkinson’s. In 1817, Dr. James Parkinson described the symptoms of shaking associated with Parkinson’s. In 1901, Dr. Alois Alzheimer described the mental decline and memory loss of Alzheimer’s, and suggested microorganisms may cause senile plaque. In 1912, Dr. Frederic Lewy described microscopic particles, in the brains of…..
