Mycoplasma link to Lyme disease - no conspiracy theory, says expert: it's real

[Guest guest]

Great article about Lyme Disease and the role of mycoplasma. I've tested

positive for both and have had CFS (CFIDS) and Fibromyalgia for 25 years. Has

anyone here read the book Lab 257... can't remember the author, but it talks

about Plumb island off the coast of Connecticut which is where this particular

strain of Lyme Disease started. It was a bioweapon. The lab had extremely poor

conditions, a hurricane hit the island, and on and on with all kinds of abuses

by those running the lab which was part of the government. Of course they do

not want us to know what this really is... !

A Canadian expert contends modern epidemics of Lyme disease and other serious

illnesses can be traced back to 1942 and are simply manifestations of the

successes - and failures - of biological warfare research and testing.

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:

 

 

a. rheumatoid arthritis.

 

 

b. 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…â€

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Twenty percent 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 - 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 formâ€.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 headâ€.

 

 

 

 

 

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.â€

 

 

 

 

 

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.â€

 

 

 

 

 

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

brucellosisâ€. 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 - 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 atmosphereâ€.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 - 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-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 “wastingâ€, 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 - 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.â€

 

 

 

 

 

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.â€

 

 

 

 

 

VI - 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-BUMPâ€, every now and again

goes “buhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhâ€. 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.â€

 

 

 

 

 

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 - 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.
