From the American Academy of Microbiology, lead author was with FDA.
Title is Microbial Triggers of Chronic Human Illness.
The graphic on the cover of the monograph really says it all.
Tons of great pearls. Could be very useful support article to use with physician when requesting a CAPi [2] treatment. Also - very good for explaining several of the general ideas frequently discussed here.
"The American Academy of Microbiology convened a colloquiumon June 25-27, 2004, in New Orleans, Louisiana, to
deliberate the microbial causes of chronic diseasesi [3]."
"A number of chronic human illnesses are triggered, eitherdirectly or indirectly, by microorganisms. Among these are
diseases that many scientists never suspected of having an
infectious etiology,.."
"In investigating possible microbial links to chronic illnesses,it is extremely important to be able to detect the presence
of any pathogens in affected tissues. Currently available
technologies for pathogen detection have their strengths,
but there is room for improvement."
"In this document, a microbial trigger isdefined broadly to mean any organism that sets in motion
or expedites a disease process. Hence, a microbial trigger
can bring on disease in any of a number of ways, including
persistencei [4] as a chronic infection and the induction of
destructive host immunei [5] responses"
"HOST FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO ILLNESS
The outcome of confrontation between a human body and
a pathogenic microorganism is determined by what each of
the players brings to the fight. Humans can be made more
or less susceptible to an initial infection or to the onset of
the chronic illness by any of a number of intrinsic or extrinsic
factors, including:
Genetic Factors
Concomitant Infectionsi [6]
Age
Dose (inoculum)
Gender
Hormonal Factors (including cortisol)
Immune Status
Nutitional Status
Behaviorial Factors (smoking)"
Koch’s postulates, still seen by many as a necessary tool
for proving causative links between microbes and disease,
is not equal to some of the particular problems of chronic
illnesses. Many of the causative organisms involved in
chronic illness cannot be cultivated using recognized techniques,
and others position themselves in tissues that are
difficult to access for sampling, making them hard to
detect in the afflicted.

I'm particularly interested
I'm particularly interested in the AGE thing. If we weren't affected by pathogens in the way we here believe we are, could a lot of age related diseasesi [3] and syndromes be a thing of the past....?
