Guest guest Posted September 6, 2004 Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 http://www.nexusmagazine.com/articles/mycoplasma.html anybody know anything about the AIDS/CFS/MNS mycoplasma connection hypothesis. this article above tries to make a case. a bit conspiratorial, but who knows? Most of the citations are old, but that does not invalidate them. if the author's hypothesis is correct, it explains why research on the subject has been suppressed. In any event, the mycoplasma is perhaps a better candidate for a latent pathogen than viruses like HIV or even Hep C. But the identity of the chronic pathogen is not so much my interest but rather the mounting evidence that most americans are walking around with some form of slow growing or insidious microorganism in their blood, whether HIV, hep C, herpes, HPV, EBV, mycoplasma, etc. Whether microorganisms cause diseases like AIDS may not be clear, but it is opportunistic microorganisms that usually kill people with AIDS. It is likely that some microorganism initiates most autoimmune diseases (including type 1 diabetes, MS and probably ALS), a number of cancers, perhaps 1/3 of heart disease. I have suggested in other contexts that undiagnosed slow developing infectious diseases similar to syphilis may have been responsible for a number of chronic presentations in ancient china that were attributed to lifestyle (sexual excesses mainly). It is quite possible that conditions that began as infections in ancient china and were not recognized as such may have been responsible for a lot of harm. Now I can imagine a patient in ancient china presenting with an atrophy syndrome and two doctors debating whether the condition had arisen from an internal condition of vacuity due to lifestyle of mainly from an untreated warm disease from years ago that had lingered and done damage. I'm not talking about a lurking pathogen here, I think. From my reading of Liu's warm diseases, it looks as if one can develop chronic dampheat that starts from a warm disease. But it is not lurking, per se, because it causes recurrent sx ever since its inception rather than remaining hidden for 30 years or something like that. The question is what is meant by dampheat. Does it refer to a state of imbalance that may or may not involve pathogenic microorganisms or does it always involve such infections. I would suggest that a state of chronic dampheat in the body would always involve some abnormalities involving microorganisms. There is actually considerable research to back this up. Western medicine just doesn't consider things like candida or mycoplasma or various assorted other buggers to be the cause of any chronic illness and so does not even test for them, much less treat them. But the documented abnormalities are always there if you test for them. Abnormal gut flora, high or low; pathogenic bacteria in the gut; overgrowth of yeast; these are almost a given in the chronically ill. What causes these infections? I don't know. Are they cause or effect? In other words, do zang fu imbalances make us susceptible to chronic infection or does chronic infection lead to zang fu imbalance? In such cases, if infection is the root, than diet and all the rest only serve to slow the inevitable decline. Those who do not attend to such things go quicker, no doubt. And why is anyone sick with mycoplasma despite such excessive antibiotic use in the US. The most common antibiotics prescribed for bacteria do not work on mycoplasma, but there are generic ones that do. And they must be used for long periods of time and they can he hard on the system, but perhaps this can be offset by combining with herbs. Or perhaps herbs alone would work. Huang bai and huang lian are active against mycoplasma. I suspect many others are as well. One that has gotten a lot of press is olive leaf extract. As a final note, it is interesting how many chinese herbs have antimicrobial activity, including tonics and blood movers and exterior releasers and transform phlegm and clear heat, just about every category has antimicrobial herbs in it. It make me wonder how the antimicrobial activity of just about any herbal decoction figures into its overall action.

Are they cause or effect? INMHO,,,they are actually both. Some scientists would say that do to the ionic charge in the blood being diminished, proteins and other things like platelets, plague and red blood cells, will tend to coagulate causing all sorts of problems. We can see them in " Live Cell Microscopy " ,,, which I do. Given the " divine " nature of life, the proteins tend to form patterns that are found throughout life as they fit together. Pre bacterial and fungal forms. These were the first life forms on the planet because the original proteins started sticking together in a particular way. I believe the same process happens in the blood in the same way as long as the environment within the blood allows. If you allow the possibility of the above example, there would be no surprise that as people develop diseases after years of imbalance, the ionic charge in their blood will tend to be compromised and these protein combinations or " Microbes " can be found all over. So are we being infected???? Yes, but many times from the inside, and only because the environment supports the coming together of these protein forms. Change the environment and the forms, which are really quite delicate, will start dividing and become simple protein blocks again. Simple and quick over view of a rather involved topic. Hope it made sense, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason, and it is a biggy, is that there really aren't a lot of people involved with it. I believe most that do get involved are in it to help people and are not concerned with " proving " what we are seeing to the Government or anyone else. Another reason is that for universities or other institutions to get involved, they would basically get to admit that there are formations in the blood caused by issues outside what standard medicine accounts for. Who is going to fund it???? There is more likely going to be money set aside to fight the availability of this tool rather than proving there may be some validity to it. That said,,,,,,I am quite sure that a lot of what many well meaning live blood therapists talk about with their patients, comes form conjecture and assumption and is unfortunately bogus. Although, even with these potential misunderstandings, people are likely to get better with the information given by the several training's that I have gone to. Primarily because all the training's show the therapist at minimum how to increase the patients nutritional intake, detox capabilities and digestive capabilities. I personally do my best to keep my explanations away from any definite explanations of exactly naming what we are seeing and steer people into the understanding of how the things we are seeing are a result of lifestyle and guide people into a healthy lifestyle with some possible supplement recommendations I decide upon because of the many questions that I ask and other training I integrate. *** I will say that as the blood sample sits on the slide, I will see many changes. *** Some of the changes are the formation of " strands " of what I believe to be proteins coming together. Some of these protein formations look like cells that WM has labeled as candida, and a few forms of bacteria. Some well meaning therapists will state that these " are " candida and different bacteria's. I do not go that far. What I do say is that as a person changes their lifestyle and includes what I determine to be healthy for that individual, these formations will likely not appear any more and they will likely feel much better. This is usually true. There is a basic argument I try to balance when I treat people. " We are sick because something has attacked us and we are sick because the internal environment has allowed critters a good home. " A side note is that if we have allowed critters a good home, there are going to be numerous biochemical pathways that are compromised and this will need to be dealt with. I believe we need to remember that both sides of the augment are true and each individual will have their own unique challenges. A simple explanation of part of how is see it, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protein forms as you describe would not have genetic material, would they? They could not be grown outside the lab and are not living things that self-replicate. If you claim these protein forms have such properties, then I would need more info to back this up. Keep in mind that I am not indicating that I know what is going on. But, there are some interesting possibilities with what I see on the slide. There is definitely some joining together of something, most likely proteins making " forms " that look like some bacteria, fungus and yeast. There is no getting around that one. It does happen. I watch it every day. The questions I have are why do they come together and do they interact in some why with our health? I agree that strictly speaking, there would appear to be no genetic material involved in the above example. However, I believe there is a lot of genetic material floating around the blood from all sorts of damaged cells and digestive absorption. There is also a nagging question in the back of my mind of,,, when the earth went through the transition of a dead molten rock to a life providing environment, where did the life forms come from. There was no life, then there was. I don't have a definite answer to that. I will say I believe that there is a push in this universe towards creating life. In the beginning something happened to promote life from a rock with no proteins, to supporting all the life we see around and within us today. I do not believe we need to have a man, or women to manufacture a genetic structure for their to be a genetic structure. I don't think there is any question that there is cross contamination of critters from one species to another. How much of a jump in reasoning is it to assume that sometimes there will be a mutation between the host cell and the invading pathogen? I don't know what you think of this, but there is a fairly large scientific community that beliefs that the mitochondria within our cells were really a parasite invader millions of years ago. To recite a line from one of my favorite stupid movies, " Life will find a way " . Believe me when I say I know this is a bunch of vague conjectures. It is intended to potentially open the door to the possibility that not only does life mutate out side the body, it mutates within. Given the abundance of raw material within the body, I believe there is an infinite potential for the combination of genetic material for all sorts of interesting new life forms within the body. We know this happens outside the body. Why not within? Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 It depends on the vaccine. Some utilize proteins from the shells of viruses, some use killed or weakened viruses or bacteria, some use toxins produced by disease-causing organisms.
