Mycoplasma

[tara]

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".

TESTING FOR MYCOPLASMAS

Testing for mycoplasmas is much harder and more complicated than testing for all other bacteria, which is one of the main reasons conventional medical practitioners mis-diagnose or miss these types infections. The most reliable testing method offered today is with a lab test called a PCR test (Polymerase Chain Reaction).

Even performing a PCR lab test on a standard whole blood sample may not find the mycoplasma, simply because the mycoplasma may be residing in other fluids and tissues in the body and not the blood (i.e.; the fluid in the joints, in the spinal fluid, or in any tissue cell like heart, liver, pancreas, endocrine organs, etc.).

A PCR test is generally performed by specific mycoplasma species.

These laboratory tests can be expensive, but are insurance reimburseable if ordered by your primary care physician. Specific mycoplasma PCR tests are available through these companies, both of which have more information on mycoplasmas in general and testing at their websites:

Here is an interesting piece of information for this thread. It is an application for a patent involving the detection of mycoplasma.

That is interesting ... quote "mycoplasma infection occurring at a statistically significant rate in patients with CFS" unquote

Blood Test

If you or anybody in your family has myalgic encephalomyelitis [chronic fatigue], fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's, you can send a blood sample to Dr Les Simpson in New Zealand for testing.

Dr Les Simpson, Red Blood Cell Research Ltd,
31 Bath Street, Dunedin, 9001, New Zealand,
tel +64 (0)3 471 8540, email rbc.research.limited@xtra.co.nz.
NOTE: Dr Simpson directs his study to red cell shape analysis, not the mycoplasma hypothesis.

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.

Boyoboyoboy~~~~ this is really amazing, isn't it? How utterly irresponsible of our government. I love the internet.

Saw this in The Times (UK) today. The maverick biologist Craig Venter has apparently successfully synthesised the entire genetic code of bacterium Mycoplasma. All 582,970 DNA letters.

This sounds like a guy that could identify our bacterial problems hey!

WRITTEN TESTIMONY OF
Dr. Garth L. Nicolson
COMMITTEE ON VETERANS’ AFFAIRS
Subcommittee on Health
UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
January 24, 2002

Past and present senior DoD and DVA administrative personnel must be held accountable for the utter mismanagement of the entire GWI problem. This has been especially apparent in the continuing denial that chronic infections could play a role in GWI and the denial that immediate family members could have contracted their illnesses from veterans with GWI. This has resulted in sick spouses and children being turned away from DoD and DVA facilities without diagnoses or treatments. The responsibility for these civilians must ultimately be borne by the DoD and DVA. I believe that it is now accountability time. The files must be opened so the American public has a better idea how many veterans and civilians have died from illness associated with service in the Gulf War and how many have become sick because of an inadequate response to this health crisis. Unfortunately, little or no progress has been made on these items for the last decade or more, and the situation has not changed significantly since my last testimony to the U.S. House of Representatives [14] in 1998. Similarly, our earlier testimony to House Subcommittees was apparently disregarded as well.

http://veterans.house.gov/hearings/s...-02/gnicol.htm


The Nicolsons discovered that about one-half of the patients had contracted a curious microorganism called Mycoplasma fermentans incognitus, or Mfi.



What shocked the two scientists was that this particular strain of Mycoplasma included a gene from the HIV-1 virus, a virtual impossibility in naturally occurring Mycoplasmas. Their new discovery in a beautiful microorganism shaped like a day lily, appeared to be a genetically altered biological weapon capable of incapacitating infected victims.


Garth immediately instructed veterans’ physicians to prescribe the only known treatment: large doses of long-term courses of antibiotics. As the word spread, calls began coming in from military units and reporters all over the world.



More research led to a trail of experiments with Mycoplasma as far back as WWII. The I.G. Farban Co. had tested the germ at prisoner camps and death camps in Eastern Europe, and the Nicolsons believed it was brought to the U.S during “Operation Paperclip”, a recovery program of Nazi scientists & technicians right after WWII. It most likely ended up at one of the U.S Bio-warfare research centers like Fort Detrick or Plum Island, where it continued to be worked on and perfected as an incapacitating germ warfare agent.



Even more chilling was the discovery that Dr. Shyh-Ching Lo of the U.S Army had submitted a patent on Mfi in 1987. Dr. Lo was a top molecular biologist at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology in Washington, D.C. Like Nancy, Lo had also trained at Baylor, and later at Tanox, a Baylor biotech spin-off, working on antibody based tests against Anthrax and related microorganisms.

Something sinister was happening at Baylor, and the Nicolsons had a sinking feeling it was related to the Veteran’s illnesses.

In 1994, three women from Huntsville, Texas contacted the Nicolsons. These women, known as “the three moms”, were married or related to Huntsville Prison employees. Huntsville prisoners were dying, and employees were getting sick with unusual illnesses. Garth and Nancy had just published their papers on the signs and symptoms of “GWI”, and Huntsville citizens were suffering from the same symptoms as the veterans. The disease also appeared to be contagious.



In fact, over 300 families in Huntsville (pop. 35,000) had some form of the illness. There were 26 cases of Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS) and 63 cases of MS in the small community, rates of incidence that were several times the expected rates.

The Nicolsons took blood samples from the Huntsville families and discovered Mfi in about half of the Wallsville patients.

Feel like a human guinea pig yet????

[tara]

Little has changed since the Nicolsons’ discoveries. These illnesses are still slowly spreading into the US population and continue to cause chronic debilitating disease.



Evidence produced by the Nicolsons points to deliberately contaminated military vaccines, exposure to chemicals and biologicals in the Gulf, and illegal clinical trials in prisons and nursing homes.

Contaminants like Mycoplasma were found in vaccines given to recruits before they were dispatched to the Gulf, and many soldiers who became ill were never dispatched. More than 225,000 Gulf War Veterans have become permanently disabled, and tens of thousands of soldiers, prisoners and nursing home patients have fallen victim to this careless experimentation.

MFI and other pathogens causing Gulf War illness can be transmitted through sexual and casual contact, crippling spouses, children and healthcare workers. An alarming number of veterans’ children are currently being diagnosed with autism, ADD, CFIDS, Fibromyalgia and a wide range of autoimmune and nervous system disorders.

According to the CFIDS Association of America, “CHRONIC FATIGUE IMMUNE DYSFUNCTIONAL SYNDROME ALONE AFFECTS MORE AMERICANS THAN MS, AIDS, OR LUNG CANCER. 90% are not diagnosed and are not receiving proper medical care for their illness.” http://questioningwar-organizingresi...1_archive.html

The following was presented by Dr. Hildegard Staninger to the National Registry of Environmental Professionals Conference
in Nashville, TN, on Oct. 18th, 2006

63% of the patients diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) had a hidden lung worm, Cryptostronylus pulmoni cultured from their sputum. This species of worm is a nematode. Its male measures 250 nanometers, while the female measures between 750-100 namometers in length. (26) Currently, biological pesticide manufacturers are using nematode eggs as delivery systems of viral protein envelopes to corn, potatoes, and other agricultural feed materials that are used as feed for poultry, beef and domestic animals (cats and dogs).

26. Kalpow, Ph.D., Lawrence A. Suspected New Species of Nematode Parasite in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) Cryptostrongylus pulmoni (provisional) " The Hidden Lung Worm."

So, would this lead one to speculate that as all of these diseases such as GWI, CFS, ALS, Alzheimers, etc. are intertwined as most show similar symptoms, that, in reality people are suffering from a microscopic parasitic WORM NEMATODE infection on a MASSIVE scale??
