Dr
Thomas McPherson Brown Arthritis Institute Conference May 1991 (May 2012)
This conference On Antibiotic Treatment for Rheumatic Diseases brings together Drs. Brown, Clark, Mercola, Franco, Oliver (Lupus, Scleroderma), Whitman, Coker-Vann, Miller, Sinnott, Kadile, Bingam, Kaplan, and others. IV and Oral tetracycline protocols and cyclic dosing are discussed. Dysbiosis considerations with yeast and C. difficile are also considered. A panel discussion is reported among successful practitioners using the tetracycline protocols. Some comments on the media reports and the huge number of listeners’ calls swamping the media, not able to record or track the requests for further data at the time. Much is to be learned by reading this PDF scan of only part of the proceedings. (Courtesy of E.S.) Similar conferences, with sessions on antibiotics vs. the microbes that cause rheumatic diseases, have been held recently by Dr Trevor Marshall and the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM). Both the IFM and the Dr Marshall teams are slowly successful in promoting the increased knowledge of the functional mechanisms of Autoimmune reactions caused by cell invading microbes.
March 1939 NY
Times Science Article announcing that Arthritis is caused by a microbe
PPLO (Aka Eaton Agent, Aka Mycoplasma Pneumonia); citing Science-Vol89
-No2308-Mar24-1939. Culture of the
organism is very hard, due to the fastidious nature of the microbe. Mice given
the PPLO show pneumonia and later show chronic arthritis. The original microbe came from a human case
of rheumatic fever. It was unclear at
the time if the strep pneumonia L-form or M. pneumonia or both were
the reported troublemakers. Today the
list of bad actors includes both and is now much larger. But many are, in
certain stages, susceptible to tetracyclines in long term pulsed dosages, with
probiotics to control dysbiosis.
Dr Garth
Nicolson's Website and Papers (April 2012)
Garth Nicolson (www.immed.org, South Laguna Beach, CA) has been working for many years with leading rheumatology doctors, immune & biochemical scientists around the world and especially in the U.S. to diagnose persistent chronic infections related to arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, gulf war illnesses, Lyme disease, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Babesia, Ehrlichia, Klebsiella,…and multiple persistent viruses: RSV, HHVs, Coxsackie, etc. The persistent microbes that are involved are pleomorphic, with multiple stages/forms, multiple strains and they invade multiple-tissue-types and cell-types. (blood, immune, epithelial, etc, to slowly replicate as human and animal parasites)
Treatments to be effective must be long term, multi-antibiotic, multi-factored, multi-staged, multi-antibiotic combined with nutritional and mitochondria-energy enhancing supplements.
Dr Nicolson, Dr. Aristo Vojdani (ImmunoSciences Labs, Los Angeles) and Dr. A. Robert Franco (Arthritis Center of Riverside) have together co-authored a significant number of important papers relating immune and antibody testing, nutritional assays, as well as chronic infectious disease symptoms and treatment.
Disclaimer: I am honored that Dr. Nicolson is both a
contributor to and a reviewer of my two books. -KMP

How HMOs Fail to Work
Koch's Postulates: We should not let their simplicity restrict
our thinking: (Oct 2011)
A doctor
would not listen to a patient and cited Koch’s postulates as the reason the
patient was mistaken. Actually, the
patient, not the doctor, was more informed.
Nature gives
us many counterexamples to Koch’s method of linking a single microbe to a
disease or condition. There are many problems with Koch’s 19th
century simple rules. Many pathogenic
microbes are persistent. The bacteria are polymorphic---changing their
forms. The invaders live part of their
lives inside our cells. The target multiple cell-types include immune cells and
epithelial cells everywhere in the body.
The invaded
target cells make disrupting bioactive molecules and stop making others. To
understand chronic disease we need to understand each of the many immune-stimulation cofactors, not just one. We
find multiple-microbe-complexes (biofilm & plaque colonies) associated with
COPD, Rheumatoid Arthritis, IBS, CFIDS, Fibromyalgia, Heart/Artery Disease,
Brain Plaques, Cancer, etc.
Polymorphic microbe
complexes require multiple antibiotic types plus other modes of medical
attack. Koch’s postulates represent a
compelling intellectual simplicity: one bug = one disease = one medicine. This kind of thinking is inadequate to
characterize the complex natural world.
Arguing From
Minimized Statistics Leads to Problems (January 2012)
Arguing from
a small number and extrapolating to a large set of different cases is
problematic. In Logic, if you argue
from the empty set you can prove anything.
Anything is true if it applies to nobody. The politician that keeps none of his promises can logically
promise the electors the world plus anything beyond their wildest dreams.
Invalid logic
and minimized data is used to fool us that authorities and administrators are
operating properly. Bad data plus bad statistics leads to bad management and
bad medicine, with no corrective actions.
Our
statistics are minimized by neglect, by fear-to-report, by losing the data, by
prejudicial inhibitions, by event miss-categorization, by defining too
restrictive criteria, and by using poor tests with many false negatives.
Omission is not the “whole truth”. Omission causes us to avoid facing the
important issues and to fail to fund critical solutions.
Natural Antiviral Foods, Herbs, Oils (Oct 2011)
There are very few antiviral medicines. However many natural foods (rarely eaten), herbs, and oils have antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti worm properties. Here is a starter list for your web searches into the properties of these natural medicines obtained from plants.
Clinic at WalMart: Low Cost Medical and Drugs Access (January 2012)
WalMart
is positioning a physician staff at its in-store “Clinic at WalMart” to permit
walk in medical services, injections, and immediate access to their low cost
($4/30day $10/90day supply) formulary of ethical drugs. WalMart has the global
reach to buy world wide, from low production cost sources, providing world
class quality pharmaceuticals. They
operate a cash business, but also take insurance at their more than 140 clinics
nationwide. They buy prepackaged drugs from Canada, India, and other centers of
production excellence. This business model eliminates much of the overhead from
pill counting, insurance, delayed billing and accounting. Clinics are independently owned. Locations

Statins Interfere with Cholesterol Functions and CoQ10 Production (Nov 2011)
Statin drugs block manufacture of CoQ10, an essential nutrient. Statins block cholesterol generation, cause muscle pain and atrophy, cause systemic cellular mitochondrial dysfunctions, and neuropathies. If statins are taken, high levels of ascorbic acid (AA) and CoQ10 should also be taken. There are many adverse symptoms of statin intake without adequate dietary supplementation. Statins accelerate the deterioration we call ageing.
Statins are prescribed in the mistaken belief that cholesterol causes arterial plaques and heart disease. The synthesis of essential CoQ10 and Heme are also blocked. Cholesterol starvation, low CoQ10 and Heme in the presence of oxidation-stress causes muscle and nerve atrophy by induced mitochondrial energy dysfunction, oxidized toxic cholesterol. Cholesterol starvation causes the failure to regenerate cells as they die off. Adverse drug reactions to statins are underreported, compared to the reports collected by websites that independently report harm to statin taking patients.
Cancer vs. Microbes: Table with References to Medical WikiPedia (Dec 2011)
Microbes are associated with many Cancers. SV-40 Simian Virus 40 was a contaminant in live Polio vaccine. It shows up in the table in many places as a Cancer-associated infection. Other infections are also found to increase the probability of certain Cancers. This table has links to the medical articles in WikiPedia to make it easy to look up the supporting data.
Diseases/Conditions Vs. Microbes: Table with References to Medical WikiPedia (Dec 2011)
Chronic infections by Viruses, Bacteria, and some fungus/yeasts are linked to specific diseases and conditions. The members of the Hepatitis and Herpes virus groups are multiply associated elements. Another repeated co-infections are in the insect borne Borrelia species. Others are RSV, EBV, CMV, VZV, Mycoplasmas and the ubiquitous Chlamydia pneumonia. This table has links to the medical articles in WikiPedia to make it easy to look up the supporting data.

Why Doctors Might Not Use the Brown Antibiotic Protocol
(Jan 2012) For various reasons doctors may prefer to use only anti-inflammatory treatments without the antimicrobial antibiotics. This page contains the reasons why.
Ketonic AA Antibiotic Protocol with Nutrition Factors (Jan 2012)
Ketosis plus
vitamin C (AA) is an adjuvant to the Tetracycline-antibiotic protocol.
Combine Klenner's AA and Rheumatoid Arthritis The Infection Connection,
Appendix 2: Tetracycline/Minocycline Protocol. Benign ketosis is induced by
drastic reduction of carbohydrate intake to ~ 15 grams of carbohydrates per
day. [See Dr. Atkins’ diet induction stage]
The liver
shifts from fat storage mode to fat extraction mode and brown fats are
catabolized to acetyl CoA to feed the Krebs (citric acid) cycle where
ATP is made to feed energy to all the body cells. Body-cell sugar use shuts
down. Hypo-glycemic condition stops in ketosis mode. HDL/LDL lipid levels normalize.
Microbes and
viruses are sugar dependent, so are drastically starved. ROS of the chronic
infection oxidizes the AA to the Dehydro AA (oxidizing) form. Microbes,
microbe-infected body and cancer cells need sugar and cells ingest oxidized
Dehydro Ascorbic Acid (DHA) instead of sugar. Inside the microbes and the
infected cells the DHA oxidizes the cells' mitochondria and induces apoptosis
(cell death). Full

Gut Bacteria and Health Countermeasures (Nov 2011)
Microbes in the gut work to make food more useful. Bad microbe strains can lead to dysbiosis. Antibiotics make the gut unbalanced. Here is a list of problem microbes along with pointers to ways you can easily reboot your gut flora and maintain a healthy balance.
Metallo
Enzymes a Complex of Active Molecules (Jan 2012)
Antibiotics and Zinc supplements have complex roles in antimicrobial defenses. Knowing what and how enzymes containing certain metal atoms function to perfect and control our immune system is a fertile field of investigation at this time. Here is an overview with some practical surprises using nutritional quick fixes.
Gut Bacteria Metabolic Syndrome, Heart Disease and Lecithin (Dec 2011)
A Common
bacteria (L. rhamnosus) in mice with guts repopulated with human
microflora makes fishy smelling gas, TMA, that the liver converts to TMAO and
HDL cholesterol. Atherosclerotic plaques grow faster. Change gut flora with
antibiotics and the TMA production stops.
Lecithin has choline which is a neural nutrient. This is a surprising
new result: high levels of lecithin as
a supplement are to be avoided. Gut microflora appear to be at the root of
metabolic syndrome and obesity.
Microbe gene
mapping is linked to molecule making data for probiotics. This enables a
systematic way to catalog and predict the way specific gut microbes control
human biochemical processes.

Vaccines Plus
Mitochondrial Dysfunction Cause ASD: A Revolution in the Vaccine Court (Nov
2011)
HHS has admitted
liability for ASD symptoms and harm in the Hanna Poling case. They admitted
that vaccines plus genetic mitochondrial dysfunction (MD) causes ASD
disabilities. HHS now has a big problem.
The assumed rarity if MD is an illusion. Statins cause MD. Scurvy causes MD. Malnutrition plus persistent microbial chronic infections cause MD.
By the rules of the court, many vaccine-caused slow to emerge ASD cases will be excluded. Still, a lot of cases will be settled in plaintiff family’s favor. The average claim is a little less than $ 1 Million. Family lifetime cost is estimated at $3 million. The autism incidence rate is now about 1/100, and still getting worse.
If every ASD diagnosis led to a claim, the paid in premium for a ~$1 Million claim would be $225. If the fund were to break even, the claims rate should be less than ~3/106. If the number of outstanding ASD claims were 10,000, claims would be ~$10 billion.
This is HHS’ big problem: The fund does not collect enough cash thru the tax to cover the harms that will be linked to the problem vaccinations.
Legislation now exists to raid the compensation fund “surplus” to offset budget shortfalls, and new programs.
But there is actually a
huge potential liability that wipes out the surplus. The discussion at the above link shows functionally just how
vaccines can and do cause the vaccine associated injuries that we see in
practice.
Vaccines Cause Chronic HyperAllergy (April 2012)
Medical literature documents at least three
causes of hyperallergic or anaphylactic reactions stimulated by
vaccination. Normal conditioning of the
immune system is based on eating or inhaling foreign proteins and other
allergen molecules. Injection bypasses
the chemical learning that takes place normally for foods or airborne
substances.
·
Vaccines
hyper-sensitize to disease agents. This limitation is well known to
experts, but the seriousness and dangers are not communicated to the public,
are covered up by authorities, or are subject to disinformation publicity. A
conference was held in 1974 to discuss this emerging problem. Most of the
participants are now retired and the legacy of past knowledge of vaccination
dangers known in the prior decades are buried in medical archives, unread and
unheeded. The danger is to a no longer
small fraction of those vaccinated.
·
Vaccines hyper-sensitize to
food proteins This stellar reference describes how an epidemic of
anaphylactic food sensitivities has resulted from vaccinations. One cause of ASD symptomology is from this
mechanism.
·
Vaccine
adjuvants are poisons that stay around at the injection site and cause
functional muscular dystrophy. Treatment might be chelation and massage to
remove the toxic residues in the injection site muscles. The proof: Macrophagic
myofasciitis Lesions Long-term
persistence of vaccine-derived aluminum hydroxide in muscles at injection
sites.
·
Cumulative Aluminum
Toxicity in Pediatric and Military Vaccines This reference is an analysis
of the toxicity of aluminum oxide adjuvants in vaccines. Both the cumulative toxicity and the
persistence of the adjuvant in injection site muscles has been underestimated.
Use of aluminum deodorants may add to the cumulative dose.
·
Evidence
from an increasing number immunology experts prove that vaccine caused immune
hyperactivity becomes chronic. Causality is denied as a mystery by the
controlling authorities, The causes are obviously related to the vaccines which
are designed to stimulate immune reactivity. It would be embarrassing to do a
thorough safety reassessment, so years pass by without one.
Vaccines Vs. Scurvy Notes: Kalokerinos related URLS (Dec 2011)
These notes are for
the serious student who wishes to explore the global knowledge and opinion
about Vaccines, Nutrition, and Scurvy.
www.whale.to has a body of vaccine related inputs from patients and doctors around the world. Archie Kalokerinos first described the mass deaths in Australia of scorbic natives soon after vaccination. He continued to point out that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) are caused by sudden onset scurvy and associated shock. Quotations from Dr Kalokerinos on Vaccines vs Scurvy as a cause of SIDS.
The global health machine has and continues to suppress the knowledge of vaccines harms in the presence of scurvy. The result is that later in Africa, the whole pattern of vaccine caused deaths repeated.
In the developed world, where vaccines are being used more and more, ASD prevalence has increased from ~1/104 to ~1/102.
The danger of childhood illnesses is overstated. The anti-viral properties of vitamins A and C as well as the saturated, palm-derived oils, Lauric and Palmitic acids is not well appreciated.
With proper nutrition, much of the need for antiviral vaccines would not exist. Without the same nutrition, the vaccines themselves are causing harm.
Heart Disease And
Fat Nutrition: (Nov 2001)
The cause of
Heart Disease is microbial, C.pn, Bb, and others. We are playing worthless HDL/LDL statistical
games at great expense and human cost. That approach is truly a mirage created
to sell statins.
Statins are
proving to be harmful and life shortening. Essential HEME and CoQ10 production
of the mevalonate pathway in the liver is blocked. Essential dietary fats
starvation and cholesterol starvation can be pathogenic in the face of chronic
infections, ROS and scurvy.
AA deficiency
is endemic and is highly dynamic. We need to change direction on heart disease
treatment. Suppress and control the bugs.
Start eating
vitamin C as an essential food that is metabolized and needs replacement at
every meal. We should eat more
tropical, saturated oils, especially essential Lauric and Palmitic acids, which
are “good-cholesterol” and hormone precursors as well as potent systemic
essential antimicrobial foods.
We need to
stop taking statins which block our making of CoQ10, HEME, cholesterol and
other essential metabolic molecules. If we persist in prescribing statins, we need
to prescribe high levels of CoQ10 daily. We also should take more CoQ10 when we
have low-energy symptoms (fatigue), mitochondrial dysfunction, or get older
than age 40.
A Revolution in Our Understanding of Oils and Nutrition: (Nov 2011)
Elimination of essential tropical oil precursors in our diet is contributing to gut, blood, lymph and respiratory dysbiosis. Lauric acid (LA) in coconut oil converts to monolaurin (ML) in the gut. ML dissolves microbe’s lipid coatings and interferes with their ability to bind to target cells.
A palm oil derivative, Palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidyl-glycerol (POPG), a phospholipid surfactant, is normally found in the lungs. It plays a complex beneficial role in binding to respiratory synclinal virus (RSV), to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and likely to other COPD bacterial components. The Palmitic acid in butter is a precursor molecule.
Microbes inactivated by saturated-fat, Lauric and Palmitic acids, diet lipids include a wide range of viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and protozoa. Microbe resistance depends on eating them.
A huge worldwide body of reports on the use of vitamin C (ascorbic acid = AA) is accessible on the internet. Accounting for its pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and safety, it can now be used dependably as a drug in appropriate concentrations, orally, by injection or by IV. Dr. Klenner reports on using oral AA to stop the measles virus, and to kill it with higher sustained oral inputs. (See below: AA Kinetics…)
Kefir Probiotics: (Nov 2011)
Buttermilk, yogurt, doogh, and Kefir are natural fermentations of milk’s lactic acid. Kefir is a standard commercial product that is usually flavored. Kefir is consumed to provide fresh probiotic cultures for re-populating the gut microflora. This article lists the various bacteria and one yeast culture that have been found to exclude pathogenic bacteria. Beneficial microflora strains are defined with their benefits.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) IV Treatment Protocols for Cancer (Oct 2011)
Tumors consume large amounts of Ascorbic Acid (AA). They deplete the AA supply for the rest of the body, causing scurvy-related illnesses, leading to death. The amount of AA needed in case of cancer and infection can be huge, in the range of tens to hundreds of grams per day. Supplying large amounts (1gram-AA/Kg of body weight) by IV can exceed the tumor-cell killing level of AA in the blood. AA in these high concentrations is not harmful to normal cells. The AA in the oxygen starved cancer cell converts to an oxidizing form (dehydroascorbic acid) that kills the cell. IV AA is an antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antitoxin, antishock, and antagonist to immune-cell-invading pleomorphic microbes. For the serious student: listed AA-associated URLs point to a large number of serious articles about AA, its history, its chemistry, its biological activity, and its successful use as an alternative therapy.
PubMed: Ascorbic Acid: Anti-Tumor, Anti-Angiogenic, PharmacoKinetics: (Nov 2011)
Dosage from DoctorYourself.com. Three abstracts establishing that:
· AA anti-tumor properties are from oxidizing-form of AA, not anti-oxide form. Hydrogen peroxide = H202 mechanism.
· AA anti-angiogenic action is via H2O2 mechanism. Angiogenic means stimulating growth of new blood vessels.
· The ½ hour AA blood concentration half-life needs to be taken account in dosage and AA administration.
· One-shot, low-dose experiments prove only that absence of AA is not a remedy. ½ hour half-life.
· Disregard of the very short AA half-life invalidates all experiments showing “no AA effects on diseases.”
· Where AA blood concentration was unmonitored, AA may be presumed to be essentially absent.
· Using proper pharmacokinetics, high enough AA dosages (by IV) will have predictable positive effects in vitro.
· Klenner and Cathcart’s methods are in accord with current AA pharmacokinetics knowledge.
· Klenner and Cathcart’s reports have been validated by reports from around the world, where they were consistent with their methods and AA pharmacokinetics as now known.
· We need to properly perform AA clinical studies with AA blood levels above those proven effective in vitro.
· In animal experiments, if AA is used as a treatment, AA blood concentration must be maintained and or measured, not discontinued in the middle of the trial.
Vitamin C PharmacoKinetics and PharmacoDynamics: (Nov 2011)
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is an essential wonder-food. It protects us from stress, from microbes, and can be rapidly depleted when we are sick. It is water-soluble; its blood half-life was measured at ½ hour.
· How AA really works and How to make it work dependably
· How much and how often vs. medical conditions
· RDA for AA is incorrect on many official websites
· NIH AA mistakes and stonewalling over corrections
· Petition in 2004 requesting RDA re-evaluation based on science
· Seven years of additional stonewalling over AA corrections
· Food is an inadequate source of AA: too much sugar in fruits
· FDA war against natural supplement makers stifles commerce
· Here is what AA means to you, so you can improve your health.
COPD,
ASD, & Infections: Diet Countermeasures (Oct 2011)
Outdated diet
propaganda contributes to our malnutrition. Tropical oils and vitamin C can
suppress/kill viral/microbial gut and respiratory infections. MMR live mumps virus can colonize the gut.
Coconut and palm oils dissolve lipid viral coatings and block viral actions.
Vitamin C in high persistent levels acts as an antibiotic. ASD may have a MMR
live vaccine measles gut chronic infection component. COPD has RSV, Mycoplasma
pneumonia, Chlamydia pneumonia, and other viral/bacterial components. Diet
changes may improve your immunity and suppress the infections.
A table of antibiotics targeting COPD bacteria. Pneumonic bacteria—Mycoplasma Pneumonia, Streptococcus Pneumonia, Chlamydia pneumonia, and many more start their invasion in as a respiratory infection and then move to infect epithelial cells and other cells in the Respiratory and Intestinal tracts and other parts of the body. When they invade synovial epithelial cells they cause arthritis, atherosclerosis, IBS, UTIs, and heart disease.

Mosquitos have caused a bird imported rise in B.b microbiome infections
in ticks from 4% to 40% in a period of only 10 years. Nationwide this is a huge
health problem increasing costs for Medicare in the later years of life.
@ LymeFacts.webs.com: Chronic
Lyme Disease is caused by extreme microbial persistence. Our testing and
treating methodology is so incomplete that we do not know enough to scope, much
less to solve the problem. It is the Uni-dimensional blind men viewing the
multi-dimensional elephant all over again, except the discourse has been far
from collegial between those who have to treat and the scientists.
“B. burgdorferi has been shown to invade a variety of cells,
including endothelium, fibroblasts, lymphocytes, macrophages, keratinocytes,
and synovium. By 'hiding' inside these cells, B. burgdorferi is able to evade
the immune system and is protected to varying degrees against antibiotics,
allowing the infection to persist in a chronic state.”

New Treatment for Lingering Neuropathic Pain
Inflammation
in RA, Fibromyalgia, and Sarcoidosis
Latent intracellular macrophage
colonies have been shown to be an important causal factor in several chronic
autoimmune disorders. Macrophages normally eat invaders and allergenic
proteins. Some microbes invade and
colonize macrophages, taking over their DNA, using the cells to make toxins,
allergens and enzymes, upsetting the body’s molecular equilibriums. This
imbalance leads to autoimmune conditions such as RA, Fibromyalgia, and
Sarcoidosis. The Marshall Protocol is a successful approach to treatment of
Scarcoidosis, which resembles Fibromyalgia.
Chlamydia
pneumoniae Linked to Heart Disease, Stroke, and Alzheimer’s
Persistent and slow-growing C. pneumoniae (C.pn)
infections lead to a variety of circulation-related disorders. Symptoms do not
appear for years, while the infection deposits arterial plaques that lead to
heart attacks and strokes. Autopsies of heart attack victims showed 60% were
infected with previously undetected C. pneumoniae.
How Yeast
Infection Aggravates Rheumatic Symptoms
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism and
other ailments characterized by inflammation, joint pain, and chronic fatigue
are made worse by an overgrowth of Candida albicans. Fortunately, the
Candida organism can be reduced and controlled, largely through dietary
adjustments.
Many parasitic microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, yeasts,
fungal forms, L-forms, Mycoplasma, etc.) are able to invade and colonize host
cells, disrupting cell chemistry without killing the host cell. This article
presents a table of microbial co-factors and their role in well-known medical
conditions.
A list of conditions benefiting from antibiotic
(Minocycline, etc) protocols.
