Ongoing Research (2002 – Present)

 

Mycoplasma Photomicrographs

         Mycoplasma strains seen using darkfield microscopy (1000x).

 

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 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.

 

Microbes Vs. Maladies

         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.
