- Mycoplasma - The Linking Pathogen in Neurosystemic Diseases
-
- Several strains of mycoplasma have been "engineered"
to become more dangerous. They are now being blamed for AIDS, cancer, CFS,
MS, CJD and other neurosystemic diseases.

- PATHOGENIC MYCOPLASMA
-
- A Common Disease Agent Weaponised
-
- There are 200 species of Mycoplasma. Most are innocuous
and do no harm; only four or five are pathogenic. Mycoplasma fermentans
(incognitus strain) probably comes from the nucleus of the Brucella bacterium.
This disease agent is not a bacterium and not a virus; it is a mutated
form of the Brucella bacterium, combined with a visna virus, from which
the mycoplasma is extracted.
-
- The pathogenic Mycoplasma used to be very innocuous,
but biological warfare research conducted between 1942 and the present
time has resulted in the creation of more deadly and infectious forms of
Mycoplasma. Researchers extracted this mycoplasma from the Brucella bacterium
and actually reduced the disease to a crystalline form. They "weaponised"
it and tested it on an unsuspecting public in North America.
-
- Dr Maurice Hilleman, chief virologist for the pharmaceutical
company Merck Sharp & Dohme, stated that this disease agent is now
carried by everybody in North America and possibly most people throughout
the world.
-
- Despite reporting flaws, there has clearly been an increased
incidence of all the neuro/systemic degenerative diseases since World War
II and especially since the 1970s with the arrival of previously unheard-of
diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome and AIDS.
-
- According to Dr Shyh-Ching Lo, senior researcher at The
Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and one of America's top mycoplasma
researchers, this disease agent causes many illnesses including AIDS, cancer,
chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's colitis, Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis,
Parkinson's disease, Wegener's disease and collagen-vascular diseases such
as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's.
-
- Dr Charles Engel, who is with the US National Institutes
of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, stated the following at an NIH meeting on
February 7, 2000: "I am now of the view that the probable cause of
chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia is the mycoplasma..."
-
- I have all the official documents to prove that mycoplasma
is the disease agent in chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia as well as
in AIDS, multiple sclerosis and many other illnesses. Of these, 80% are
US or Canadian official government documents, and 20% are articles from
peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Association,
New England Journal of Medicine and the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
The journal articles and government documents complement each other.
-
-
-
- How the Mycoplasma Works
-
- The mycoplasma acts by entering into the individual cells
of the body, depending upon your genetic predisposition.
-
- You may develop neurological diseases if the pathogen
destroys certain cells in your brain, or you may develop Crohn's colitis
if the pathogen invades and destroys cells in the lower bowel.
-
- Once the mycoplasma gets into the cell, it can lie there
doing nothing sometimes for 10, 20 or 30 years, but if a trauma occurs
like an accident or a vaccination that doesn't take, the mycoplasma can
become triggered.
-
- Because it is only the DNA particle of the bacterium,
it doesn't have any organelles to process its own nutrients, so it grows
by uptaking pre-formed sterols from its host cell and it literally kills
the cell; the cell ruptures and what is left gets dumped into the bloodstream.
-
-
-
- II &endash; CREATION OF THE MYCOPLASMA
-
- A Laboratory-Made Disease Agent
-
- Many doctors don't know about this mycoplasma disease
agent because it was developed by the US military in biological warfare
experimentation and it was not made public. This pathogen was patented
by the United States military and Dr Shyh-Ching Lo. I have a copy of the
documented patent from the US Patent Office.1
-
- All the countries at war were experimenting with biological
weapons. In 1942, the governments of the United States, Canada and Britain
entered into a secret agreement to create two types of biological weapons
(one that would kill, and one that was disabling) for use in the war against
Germany and Japan, who were also developing biological weapons. While they
researched a number of disease pathogens, they primarily focused on the
Brucella bacterium and began to weaponise it.
-
- From its inception, the biowarfare program was characterised
by continuing in-depth review and participation by the most eminent scientists,
medical consultants, industrial experts and government officials, and it
was classified Top Secret.
-
- The US Public Health Service also closely followed the
progress of biological warfare research and development from the very start
of the program, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States were working with the military
in weaponising these diseases. These are diseases that have existed for
thousands of years, but they have been weaponised--which means they've
been made more contagious and more effective. And they are spreading.
-
- The Special Virus Cancer Program, created by the CIA
and NIH to develop a deadly pathogen for which humanity had no natural
immunity (AIDS), was disguised as a war on cancer but was actually part
of MKNAOMI.2 Many members of the Senate and House of Representatives do
not know what has been going on. For example, the US Senate Committee on
Government Reform had searched the archives in Washington and other places
for the document titled "The Special Virus Cancer Program: Progress
Report No. 8", and couldn't find it. Somehow they heard I had it,
called me and asked me to mail it to them. Imagine: a retired schoolteacher
being called by the United States Senate and asked for one of their secret
documents! The US Senate, through the Government Reform Committee, is trying
to stop this type of government research.
-
-
-
- Crystalline Brucella
-
- The title page of a genuine US Senate Study, declassified
on February 24, 1977, shows that George Merck, of the pharmaceutical company,
Merck Sharp & Dohme (which now makes cures for diseases that at one
time it created), reported in 1946 to the US Secretary of War that his
researchers had managed "for the first time" to "isolate
the disease agent in crystalline form".3
-
- They had produced a crystalline bacterial toxin extracted
from the Brucella bacterium. The bacterial toxin could be removed in crystalline
form and stored, transported and deployed without deteriorating. It could
be delivered by other vectors such as insects, aerosol or the food chain
(in nature it is delivered within the bacterium). But the factor that is
working in the Brucella is the mycoplasma.
-
- Brucella is a disease agent that doesn't kill people;
it disables them. But, according to Dr Donald MacArthur of the Pentagon,
appearing before a congressional committee in 1969,4 researchers found
that if they had mycoplasma at a certain strength--actually, 10 to the
10th power (1010)--it would develop into AIDS, and the person would die
from it within a reasonable period of time because it could bypass the
natural human defences. If the strength was 108, the person would manifest
with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia. If it was 107, they would
present as wasting; they wouldn't die and they wouldn't be disabled, but
they would not be very interested in life; they would waste away.
-
- Most of us have never heard of the disease brucellosis
because it largely disappeared when they began pasteurising milk, which
was the carrier. One salt shaker of the pure disease agent in a crystalline
form could sicken the entire population of Canada. It is absolutely deadly,
not so much in terms of killing the body but disabling it.
-
- Because the crystalline disease agent goes into solution
in the blood, ordinary blood and tissue tests will not reveal its presence.
The mycoplasma will only crystallise at 8.1 pH, and the blood has a pH
of 7.4 pH. So the doctor thinks your complaint is "all in your head".
-
-
-
- Crystalline Brucella and Multiple Sclerosis
-
- In 1998 in Rochester, New York, I met a former military
man, PFC Donald Bentley, who gave me a document and told me: "I was
in the US Army, and I was trained in bacteriological warfare. We were handling
a bomb filled with brucellosis, only it wasn't brucellosis; it was a Brucella
toxin in crystalline form. We were spraying it on the Chinese and North
Koreans."
-
- He showed me his certificate listing his training in
chemical, biological and radiological warfare. Then he showed me 16 pages
of documents given to him by the US military when he was discharged from
the service. They linked brucellosis with multiple sclerosis, and stated
in one section: "Veterans with multiple sclerosis, a kind of creeping
paralysis developing to a degree of 10% or more disability within two years
after separation from active service, may be presumed to be service-connected
for disability compensation. Compensation is payable to eligible veterans
whose disabilities are due to service." In other words: "If you
become ill with multiple sclerosis, it is because you were handling this
Brucella, and we will give you a pension. Don't go raising any fuss about
it." In these documents, the government of the United States revealed
evidence of the cause of multiple sclerosis, but they didn't make it known
to the public--or to your doctor.
-
- In a 1949 report, Drs Kyger and Haden suggested "the
possibility that multiple sclerosis might be a central nervous system manifestation
of chronic brucellosis". Testing approximately 113 MS patients, they
found that almost 95% also tested positive for Brucella.5 We have a document
from a medical journal, which concludes that one out of 500 people who
had brucellosis would develop what they call neurobrucellosis; in other
words, brucellosis in the brain, where the Brucella settles in the lateral
ventricles--where the disease multiple sclerosis is basically located.6
-
-
-
- Contamination of Camp Detrick Lab Workers
-
- A 1948 New England Journal of Medicine report titled
"Acute Brucellosis Among Laboratory Workers" shows us how actively
dangerous this agent is.7 The laboratory workers were from Camp Detrick,
Frederick, Maryland, where they were developing biological weapons. Even
though these workers had been vaccinated, wore rubberised suits and masks
and worked through holes in the compartment, many of them came down with
this awful disease because it is so absolutely and terrifyingly infectious.
-
- The article was written by Lt Calderone Howell, Marine
Corps, Captain Edward Miller, Marine Corps, Lt Emily Kelly, United States
Naval Reserve, and Captain Henry Bookman. They were all military personnel
engaged in making the disease agent Brucella into a more effective biological
weapon.
-
-
-
- III &endash; COVERT TESTING OF MYCOPLASMA
-
- Testing the Dispersal Methods
-
- Documented evidence proves that the biological weapons
they were developing were tested on the public in various communities without
their knowledge or consent.
-
- The government knew that crystalline Brucella would cause
disease in humans. Now they needed to determine how it would spread and
the best way to disperse it. They tested dispersal methods for Brucella
suis and Brucella melitensis at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, in June and
September 1952. Probably, 100% of us now are infected with Brucella suis
and Brucella melitensis.8
-
- Another government document recommended the genesis of
open-air vulnerability tests and covert research and development programs
to be conducted by the Army and supported by the Central Intelligence Agency.
-
- At that time, the Government of Canada was asked by the
US Government to cooperate in testing weaponised Brucella, and Canada cooperated
fully with the United States. The US Government wanted to determine whether
mosquitoes would carry the disease and also if the air would carry it.
A government report stated that "open-air testing of infectious biological
agents is considered essential to an ultimate understanding of biological
warfare potentialities because of the many unknown factors affecting the
degradation of micro-organisms in the atmosphere".9
-
-
-
- Testing via Mosquito Vector in Punta Gorda, Florida
-
- A report from The New England Journal of Medicine reveals
that one of the first outbreaks of chronic fatigue syndrome was in Punta
Gorda, Florida, back in 1957.10 It was a strange coincidence that a week
before these people came down with chronic fatigue syndrome, there was
a huge influx of mosquitoes.
-
- The National Institutes of Health claimed that the mosquitoes
came from a forest fire 30 miles away. The truth is that those mosquitoes
were infected in Canada by Dr Guilford B. Reed at Queen's University. They
were bred in Belleville, Ontario, and taken down to Punta Gorda and released
there.
-
- Within a week, the first five cases ever of chronic fatigue
syndrome were reported to the local clinic in Punta Gorda. The cases kept
coming until finally 450 people were ill with the disease.
-
-
-
- Testing via Mosquito Vector in Ontario
-
- The Government of Canada had established the Dominion
Parasite Laboratory in Belleville, Ontario, where it raised 100 million
mosquitoes a month. These were shipped to Queen's University and certain
other facilities to be infected with this crystalline disease agent. The
mosquitoes were then let loose in certain communities in the middle of
the night, so that the researchers could determine how many people would
become ill with chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, which was the
first disease to show.
-
- One of the communities they tested it on was the St Lawrence
Seaway valley, all the way from Kingston to Cornwall, in 1984. They let
out hundreds of millions of infected mosquitoes. Over 700 people in the
next four or five weeks developed myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic
fatigue syndrome.
-
-
-
- IV &endash; COVERT TESTING OF OTHER DISEASE AGENTS
-
- Mad Cow Disease/Kuru/CJD in the Fore Tribe
-
- Before and during World War II, at the infamous Camp
731 in Manchuria, the Japanese military contaminated prisoners of war with
certain disease agents.
-
- They also established a research camp in New Guinea in
1942. There they experimented upon the Fore Indian tribe and inoculated
them with a minced-up version of the brains of diseased sheep containing
the visna virus which causes "mad cow disease" or Creutzfeldt&endash;Jakob
disease.
-
- About five or six years later, after the Japanese had
been driven out, the poor people of the Fore tribe developed what they
called kuru, which was their word for "wasting", and they began
to shake, lose their appetites and die. The autopsies revealed that their
brains had literally turned to mush. They had contracted "mad cow
disease" from the Japanese experiments.
-
- When World War II ended, Dr Ishii Shiro--the medical
doctor who was commissioned as a General in the Japanese Army so he could
take command of Japan's biological warfare development, testing and deployment--was
captured. He was given the choice of a job with the United States Army
or execution as a war criminal. Not surprisingly, Dr Ishii Shiro chose
to work with the US military to demonstrate how the Japanese had created
mad cow disease in the Fore Indian tribe.
-
- In 1957, when the disease was beginning to blossom in
full among the Fore people, Dr Carleton Gajdusek of the US National Institutes
of Health headed to New Guinea to determine how the minced-up brains of
the visna-infected sheep affected them. He spent a couple of years there,
studying the Fore people, and wrote an extensive report. He won the Nobel
Prize for "discovering" kuru disease in the Fore tribe.
-
- Testing Carcinogens over Winnipeg, Manitoba
-
- In 1953, the US Government asked the Canadian Government
if it could test a chemical over the city of Winnipeg. It was a big city
with 500,000 people, miles from anywhere. The American military sprayed
this carcinogenic chemical in a 1,000%-attenuated form, which they said
would be so watered down that nobody would get very sick; however, if people
came to clinics with a sniffle, a sore throat or ringing in their ears,
the researchers would be able to determine what percentage would have developed
cancer if the chemical had been used at full strength.
-
- We located evidence that the Americans had indeed tested
this carcinogenic chemical--zinc cadmium sulphide--over Winnipeg in 1953.
We wrote to the Government of Canada, explaining that we had solid evidence
of the spraying and asking that we be informed as to how high up in the
government the request for permission to spray had gone. We did not receive
a reply.
-
- Shortly after, the Pentagon held a press conference on
May 14, 1997, where they admitted what they had done. Robert Russo, writing
for the Toronto Star11 from Washington, DC, reported the Pentagon's admission
that in 1953 it had obtained permission from the Canadian Government to
fly over the city of Winnipeg and spray out this chemical--which sifted
down on kids going to school, housewives hanging out their laundry and
people going to work. US Army planes and trucks released the chemical 36
times between July and August 1953. The Pentagon got its statistics, which
indicated that if the chemical released had been full strength, approximately
a third of the population of Winnipeg would have developed cancers over
the next five years.
-
- One professor, Dr Hugh Fudenberg, MD, twice nominated
for the Nobel Prize, wrote a magazine article stating that the Pentagon
came clean on this because two researchers in Sudbury, Ontario--Don Scott
and his son, Bill Scott--had been revealing this to the public. However,
the legwork was done by other researchers!
-
- The US Army actually conducted a series of simulated
germ warfare tests over Winnipeg. The Pentagon lied about the tests to
the mayor, saying that they were testing a chemical fog over the city,
which would protect Winnipeg in the event of a nuclear attack.
-
- A report commissioned by US Congress, chaired by Dr Rogene
Henderson, lists 32 American towns and cities used as test sites as well.
-
-
-
- V &endash; BRUCELLA MYCOPLASMA AND DISEASE
-
- AIDS
-
- The AIDS pathogen was created out of a Brucella bacterium
mutated with a visna virus; then the toxin was removed as a DNA particle
called a mycoplasma. They used the same mycoplasma to develop disabling
diseases like MS, Crohn's colitis, Lyme disease, etc.
-
- In the previously mentioned US congressional document
of a meeting held on June 9, 1969,12 the Pentagon delivered a report to
Congress about biological weapons. The Pentagon stated: "We are continuing
to develop disabling weapons." Dr MacArthur, who was in charge of
the research, said: "We are developing a new lethal weapon, a synthetic
biological agent that does not naturally exist, and for which no natural
immunity could have been acquired."
-
- Think about it. If you have a deficiency of acquired
immunity, you have an acquired immunity deficiency. Plain as that. AIDS.
-
- In laboratories throughout the United States and in a
certain number in Canada including at the University of Alberta, the US
Government provided the leadership for the development of AIDS for the
purpose of population control. After the scientists had perfected it, the
government sent medical teams from the Centers for Disease Control--under
the direction of Dr Donald A. Henderson, their investigator into the 1957
chronic fatigue epidemic in Punta Gorda--during 1969 to 1971 to Africa
and some countries such as India, Nepal and Pakistan where they thought
the population was becoming too large.13 They gave them all a free vaccination
against smallpox; but five years after receiving this vaccination, 60%
of those inoculated were suffering from AIDS. They tried to blame it on
a monkey, which is nonsense.
-
- A professor at the University of Arkansas made the claim
that while studying the tissues of a dead chimpanzee she found traces of
HIV. The chimpanzee that she had tested was born in the United States 23
years earlier. It had lived its entire life in a US military laboratory
where it was used as an experimental animal in the development of these
diseases. When it died, its body was shipped to a storage place where it
was deep-frozen and stored in case they wanted to analyse it later. Then
they decided that they didn't have enough space for it, so they said, "Anybody
want this dead chimpanzee?" and this researcher from Arkansas said:
"Yes. Send it down to the University of Arkansas. We are happy to
get anything that we can get." They shipped it down and she found
HIV in it. That virus was acquired by that chimpanzee in the laboratories
where it was tested.14
-
-
-
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
-
- Chronic fatigue syndrome is more accurately called myalgic
encephalomyelitis. The chronic fatigue syndrome nomenclature was given
by the US National Institutes of Health because it wanted to downgrade
and belittle the disease.
-
- An MRI scan of the brain of a teenage girl with chronic
fatigue syndrome displayed a great many scars or punctate lesions in the
left frontal lobe area where portions of the brain had literally dissolved
and been replaced by scar tissue. This caused cognitive impairment, memory
impairment, etc. And what was the cause of the scarring? The mycoplasma.
So there is very concrete physical evidence of these tragic diseases, even
though doctors continue to say they don't know where it comes from or what
they can do about it.
-
- Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalo-myelitis
and fibromyalgia who apply to the Canada Pensions Plan Review Tribunal
will be turned down because they cannot prove that they are ill. During
1999 I conducted several appeals to Canada Pensions and the Workers Compensation
Board (WCB, now the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) on behalf of
people who have been turned down. I provided documented evidence of these
illnesses, and these people were all granted their pensions on the basis
of the evidence that I provided.
-
- In March 1999, for example, I appealed to the WCB on
behalf of a lady with fibromyalgia who had been denied her pension back
in 1993. The vice-chairman of the board came to Sudbury to hear the appeal,
and I showed him a number of documents which proved that this lady was
physically ill with fibromyalgia. It was a disease that caused physical
damage, and the disease agent was a mycoplasma. The guy listened for three
hours, and then he said to me: "Mr Scott, how is it I have never heard
of any of this before? I said: "We brought a top authority in this
area into Sudbury to speak on this subject and not a single solitary doctor
came to that presentation."
-
-
-
- VI &endash; TESTING FOR MYCOPLASMA IN YOUR BODY
-
- Polymerase Chain Reaction Test
-
- Information is not generally available about this agent
because, first of all, the mycoplasma is such a minutely small disease
agent. A hundred years ago, certain medical theoreticians conceived that
there must be a form of disease agent smaller than bacteria and viruses.
This pathogenic organism, the mycoplasma, is so minute that normal blood
and tissue tests will not reveal its presence as the source of the disease.
-
- Your doctor may diagnose you with Alzheimer's disease,
and he will say: "Golly, we don't know where Alzheimer's comes from.
All we know is that your brain begins to deteriorate, cells rupture, the
myelin sheath around the nerves dissolves, and so on." Or if you have
chronic fatigue syndrome, the doctor will not be able to find any cause
for your illness with ordinary blood and tissue tests.
-
- This mycoplasma couldn't be detected until about 30 years
ago when the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was developed, in which
a sample of your blood is examined and damaged particles are removed and
subjected to a polymerase chain reaction. This causes the DNA in the particles
to break down. The particles are then placed in a nutrient, which causes
the DNA to grow back into its original form. If enough of the substance
is produced, the form can be recognised, so it can be determined whether
Brucella or another kind of agent is behind that particular mycoplasma.
-
-
-
- Blood Test
-
- If you or anybody in your family has myalgic encephalomyelitis,
fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's, you can send a blood sample
to Dr Les Simpson in New Zealand for testing.
-
- If you are ill with these diseases, your red blood cells
will not be normal doughnut-shaped blood cells capable of being compressed
and squeezed through the capillaries, but will swell up like cherry-filled
doughnuts which cannot be compressed. The blood cells become enlarged and
distended because the only way the mycoplasma can exist is by uptaking
pre-formed sterols from the host cell. One of the best sources of pre-formed
sterols is cholesterol, and cholesterol is what gives your blood cells
flexibility. If the cholesterol is taken out by the mycoplasma, the red
blood cell swells up and doesn't go through, and the person begins to feel
all the aches and pains and all the damage it causes to the brain, the
heart, the stomach, the feet and the whole body because blood and oxygen
are cut off.
-
- And that is why people with fibromyalgia and chronic
fatigue syndrome have such a terrible time. When the blood is cut off from
the brain, punctate lesions appear because those parts of the brain die.
The mycoplasma will get into portions of the heart muscle, especially the
left ventricle, and those cells will die. Certain people have cells in
the lateral ventricles of the brain that have a genetic predisposition
to admit the mycoplasma, and this causes the lateral ventricles to deteriorate
and die. This leads to multiple sclerosis, which will progress until these
people are totally disabled; frequently, they die prematurely. The mycoplasma
will get into the lower bowel, parts of which will die, thus causing colitis.
All of these diseases are caused by the degenerating properties of the
mycoplasma.
-
- In early 2000, a gentleman in Sudbury phoned me and told
me he had fibromyalgia. He applied for a pension and was turned down because
his doctor said it was all in his head and there was no external evidence.
I gave him the proper form and a vial, and he sent his blood to Dr Simpson
to be tested. He did this with his family doctor's approval, and the results
from Dr Simpson showed that only 4% of his red blood cells were functioning
normally and carrying the appropriate amount of oxygen to his poor body,
whereas 83% were distended, enlarged and hardened, and wouldn't go through
the capillaries without an awful lot of pressure and trouble. This is the
physical evidence of the damage that is done.
-
-
-
- ECG Test
-
- You can also ask your doctor to give you a 24-hour Holter
ECG. You know, of course, that an electrocardiogram is a measure of your
heartbeat and shows what is going on in the right ventricle, the left ventricle
and so on. Tests show that 100% of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome
and fibromyalgia have an irregular heartbeat. At various periods during
the 24 hours, the heart, instead of working happily away going "bump-BUMP,
bump-BUMP", every now and again goes "buhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuh".
The T-wave (the waves are called P, Q, R, S and T) is normally a peak,
and then the wave levels off and starts with the P-wave again. In chronic
fatigue and fibromyalgia patients, the T-wave flattens off, or actually
inverts. That means the blood in the left ventricle is not being squeezed
up through the aorta and around through the body.
-
- My client from Sudbury had this test done and, lo and
behold, the results stated: "The shape of T and S-T suggests left
ventricle strain pattern, although voltage and so on is normal." The
doctor had no clue as to why the T-wave was not working properly. I analysed
the report of this patient who had been turned down by Canada Pensions
and sent it back to them. They wrote back, saying: "It looks like
we may have made a mistake. We are going to give you a hearing and you
can explain this to us in more detail."
-
- So it is not all in your imagination. There is actual
physical damage to the heart. The left ventricle muscles do show scarring.
That is why many people are diagnosed with a heart condition when they
first develop fibromyalgia, but it's only one of several problems because
the mycoplasma can do all kinds of damage.
-
-
-
- Blood Volume Test
-
- You can also ask your doctor for a blood volume test.
Every human being requires a certain amount of blood per pound of body
weight, and it has been observed that people with fibromyalgia, chronic
fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis and other illnesses do not have the
normal blood volume their body needs to function properly. Doctors aren't
normally aware of this.
-
- This test measures the amount of blood in the human body
by taking out 5 cc, putting a tracer in it and then putting it back into
the body. One hour later, take out 5 cc again and look for the tracer.
The thicker the blood and the lower the blood volume, the more tracer you
will find.
-
- The analysis of one of my clients stated: "This
patient was referred for red cell mass study. The red cell volume is 16.9
ml per kg of body weight. The normal range is 25 to 35 ml per kg. This
guy has 36% less blood in his body than the body needs to function."
And the doctor hadn't even known the test existed.
-
- If you lost 36% of your blood in an accident, do you
think your doctor would tell you that you are alright and should just take
up line dancing and get over it? They would rush you to the nearest hospital
and start transfusing you with blood. These tragic people with these awful
diseases are functioning with anywhere from 7% to 50% less blood than their
body needs to function.
-
-
-
- VII &endash; UNDOING THE DAMAGE
-
- The body undoes the damage itself. The scarring in the
brain of people with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia will be repaired.
There is cellular repair going on all the time. But the mycoplasma has
moved on to the next cell.
-
- In the early stages of a disease, doxycycline may reverse
that disease process. It is one of the tetracycline antibiotics, but it
is not bactericidal; it is bacteriostatic--it stops the growth of the mycoplasma.
And if the mycoplasma growth can be stopped for long enough, then the immune
system takes over.
-
- Doxycycline treatment is discussed in a paper by mycoplasma
expert Professor Garth Nicholson, PhD, of the Institute for Molecular Medicine.15
Dr Nicholson is involved in a US$8-million mycoplasma research program
funded by the US military and headed by Dr Charles Engel of the NIH. The
program is studying Gulf War veterans, 450 of them, because there is evidence
to suggest that Gulf War syndrome is another illness (or set of illnesses)
caused by mycoplasma.
