Ah yes, doublespeak. We invented it of course. Used with particular relish on all health issues it seems. For my part, I am starting MP on Nov 1 and am hoping to gain weight. I've always been as thin as a rake even though I eat like a horse (make that 2). I guess I have a lot og hungry bugs to kill!

And some bacteria make you age! This one is entitled 'live longer with vitamin D' - of course only 25VitD was measured, and although it was reported that telomeres on chromosomes (aging marker) were shortened due to inflammation, they didn't consider the possibility that Vitamin D supplementation might increase inflammation in some individuals instead of reducing it!

Yes indeed, Nick.
The key thing here is whether the Th1 bacteria infect stem cells. Emil Wirostko was convinced that they did, but he died before he could publish his results (I was told about it by his colleagues).
You see, we know that stem cells themselves are present in the body until death, but that they lose their ability to repair, and heal, tissue as the body ages. So the question is - do they lose the healing ability more quickly because of the increasing load of Th1 pathogens that everybody accumulates during life?
At the recent conference on Aging at UCSD I heard a presentation by a German group who had been studying the use of a patient's own stem cells to repair heart tissue after a heart attack. They found that people who had suffered a myocardial infarction (which I believe is related to Th1 infection) possessed stem cells which were only about half as good at repairing the heart tissue as stem cells transplanted from healthy 20 year-old males. Not a surprise to me. A big surprise for the researchers...

I have been continually impressed by how the theory/science behind the MP explains so much of the research outcomes reported--outcomes that leave the researchers scratching their heads.
And reading magazine articles are becoming a matter of scary science fiction.
In one woman's magazine I was reading a review of my dermatologists can do now to help people suffering with skin conditions and learned that some are using low dosed antibiotics for roscea (sp) and that gave me a fright, given the potential for cardiac issues. On the next page the article mentioned using steroids for psoraisis (an old treatment). So on the one hand, they are potentially reducing the bacterial load and the other they are increasing it. What do they do for folk who have both roscea and psoraisis?
Then, there's the recent article in Newsweek about food allergies. Apparently, we're too clean; not allowing our bodies to fight enough bacteria, enough viruses. I couldn't even read the article; it scared me.

I continue to be amazed at what I read on this study site. It has allowed me to make sense of the world far more than any college degrees or other research in which I have participated.
Someday the truth of this site will come to the surface; truth always has a way of coming through.
Press on...

Infected stem cells! - that puts the cat among the pigeons with all the work going on around the world with them just now!! Do you think the MP targets them too, and so ultimately improves overall healing ability?
I take it you are familiar with the trophoblastic theory of cancer?
http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/510222
Basically the theory assumes deranged localised steroid signaling due to various insults, followed by stem cells (germ cells) moving in to repair the damage. It implies that it is the invasive properties of the stem cells themselves that then lead to cancer, but if the stem cells are already infected with CWD bacteria, then maybe that is where the impetus to cancer formation comes from? I see a lot of synergy with your work here!

Nick,
I suspect that the real answer is much simpler than the theories of the past have suggested. We know that when the Th1 bacteria knock out the VDR they knock out transcription of the Metastasis Suppression Protein MTSS1. That has got to be somewhat important  There are many other genes (between 1000-27000 of them) for whose expression the VDR is responsible.
Yesterday I noticed a paper where researchers had sussed out a mechanism whereby the human genome was capable of making an enzyme which altered the body's own DNA. This must also be a pathway for enzymes produced by pathogens to mutate the human DNA as well. Take a look at

Yes that certainly opens up a whole new epigenetic can of worms beyond the well known methylation and histone acetylation! I guess that a really important question now is why some people with heavily compromised VDR’s (like the MP cohort) are obviously relatively cancer resistant, whereas others develop cancer without any prior overt TH1 disease being observed. BTW any chance from structural analysis that hCG could bind to the VDR and affect it directly?

Nick, Th1 disease is rampant in the population. Everybody has the pathogens to a greater or lesser extent, but many only start to suffer damage from them as the grow older. You can see this in a chart of population 25-D levels vs age, which starts to drop at age 40 and continues to do so. The first diagnosable incident for many males is a heart attack, others a stroke.
It is generally accepted now that cancers start from inflammation, but only we are able to point the finger at Th1 inflammation, I think. Remember that excess cancer mortality has been reported (at least) in Sarcoidosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I think the relatively low incidence in our cohort, and the total lack of aggressive metastasis, indicates that the VDR is key, and activating it with Benicar makes all the difference... After all, the Th1 pathogens largely shut it down, even in asymptomatic individuals.
As Stella pointed out yesterday, the neolithic Iceman, which was found embedded in ice in the Alps about a decade ago, is though to have suffered from Ateriosclerosis, a stroke and Arthritis. The Th1 pathogens are not new to the human experience, what is new are the lifestyle changes we made in the 20th century...

Trevor, I was wondering.
Don't stem cells have their own protection system? Receptors and the like?
That would lead me to think that perhaps this system is also compromized by a non-functional VDR/innate immune system, which, in turn, would lead to a cleaning up of infected stem cells by restoring innate immunity/VDR function with the MP? Leaving only non-infected stem cells alive after doing MP?
Sincerely, Frans

Pehaps not relevant to the MP but worthy of note is a report about "the cascade of cellular events behind some potentially dangerous autoinflammatory diseases" ..."co-workers describe how two proteins called PSTPIP1 and pyrin interact to cause autoinflammatory diseases" of allegedly genetic origin

Benk,
I will be chairing the special session on "VDR, Vit D, and Immune Disease" that the Foundation is sponsoring at the 2008 International Congress on Autoimmunity in Portugal. Dr Greg Blaney will also be speaking. I expect we will shatter the myths and misconceptions about autoimmune disease pathogenesis which are bandied about so prolifically by researchers who don't even know enough about their subject to comprehend the depth of their own lack of understanding

Very cool article. So 'trophoblasts behave very much like macrophages'. The plot thickens. The link to TH1 and cancer initiation is strengthening.

This link reports a study whereby subjects, obese and normal, ate fast food meals laden with fat and sugar. Obese showed oxicative stress and inflammation much longer after the meal than normals.
It infers that fast food meals are bad for the obese but not so bad for normals . But it has too many different foods to show exactly what is the culprit. I suspect the sugar in the coke and pie.
Anyway, maybe some research is getting closer to acknowledging the inflammation factor in illness, especially obesity. And this supports the lo-carb eating recommendations of the MP.

While looking at Lilly's link about fast food-induced inflammation, I happened upon this one about germ "gangs" and resistant bacteria. Very interesting stuff...it was just posted today. I can't figure out how to insert the link, but it is at the bottom of the "fast food story" link under "health news": Doctors Target Germs' Ability to Cluster". Would love to see Moderators' take on their findings.

vwitcher,
The error in the way these folk are looking at the microbiotia causing chronic illness can be summed up in this one sentence from that article http://tinyurl.com/yp6jy9Hence the quest to disarm germs. Scientists are trying to disable "virulence factors," molecules that help germs worm their way into the body,
But the germs are already inside the body. They are part of the human existence. The only thing that changes is the balance between species. This is a terrible mistake that Medicine is making...
Take a look at the new paper on Lysobacter and Cystic Fibrosis in a thread on Cystic Fibrosis: http://www.marshallprotocol.com/forum39/10971.html

I know I'm not too good at the "scientific" stuff, but I watch the biggest loser ad these people are very obese. If it was bacteria that causes them to be fat, than why when changing thier diet and excersing they are healthy again and all the High BP gone, High Choleterol Gone, Diabetes gone, thyroid problems gone..and all te other "TH1" syndromes just by diet and execrcise.
So is bacteria really at the root of ALL disease? Thats just too easy isn't it...or is my TH1 brain just not working properly, I suppose that is what I'll be told
