Medical science is being unfair to patients, when stress, depression, a mental disorder, autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease, or something unique about the patient, is given as the reason for the patient’s illness—until infectious/parasitic origins of the disease to which these assumptions are applied are ruled out. These assumptions were applied to ulcers for decades, and patients with ulcers suffered unnecessary pain, self-blame, and death before the assumptions were proved wrong—ulcers are an infection caused by a bacteria (h-pylori) which could…..
Psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and intestinal illness are “associated” and co-morbid conditions in many chronic diseases, ranging from mental illness to cancer. Chronic intracellular infection and the infectious cascade can cause skin disease through self-inoculation and eruption, and painful joints through spread of the pathogen and inflammation caused by chronic infection. Over time, chronic intracellular infection can become many different chronic diseases, and co-morbid conditions, in different patients. In diagnosing the root causes of chronic disease and seeking to discover…..
When we see commercials to help men prevent hair loss and the images often seem ironic. The commercials show men in baseball caps. Hair loss can be genetic but in our observation wearing sweaty dirty baseball caps contributes to and accelerates hair loss. Invariable when we see a man wearing a sweaty dirty baseball cap—they are bald or balding. Sweaty dirty baseball caps can facilitate pathogens and fungus getting into the base of the hair follicles, promoting and accelerating hair…..
The skin is our largest organ, and can reveal secrets regarding our health. Moles and/or brown spots may indicate current or past infection that has erupted onto the skin, been transferred to the skin by self-inoculation, been transferred to the skin by devices, or be evidence of a past scabies infection that evolved into a mole. Pimples indicate an infection on the skin, often transferred by fingertips and devices; and acne may indicate an underlying chronic infection. When blood vessels…..
Skin, like eyes, can provide important clues to health and aid in the diagnosis of disease. The skin is our largest organ in terms of volume. The skin protects us from pathogens entering the body, unless the skin is broken; although some pathogens, such as hookworm, can enter through bare skin, when walking barefoot in grass and coming in contact with hookworm. Pathogens can be transferred from the mouth and nose to the skin; and to our devices, and then…..
