LDNⁱ - I have been on this medication since Feb 17,2009 4 1/2 months now.

I have viewed the speakers whose talks from past LDN Conferences are

available on the internet,

the weblinks are posted here on the CPnHelp website for anyone who is interested and viewing them.

 

This spring I order several of the most recent books on the topic.

Here is an interesting article about the link between Cpnⁱ and Alzheimers: http://tinyurl.com/76bsby

I don't think it has been postted yet--if it has let me know.

Initial characterization of Chlamydophila (Chlamydia) pneumoniae cultured from the late-onset Alzheimer brain.

Anybody got an MD in Pensacola FL?

This is the news:  In England, possible antibioticsⁱ to be sold over the counter, to treat CHLAMYDIA!

This is the story form http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/aug/06/health

Oral antibiotics are to be made available for the first time without doctor's prescription under guidelines approved yesterday by the medicines regulator.

A pill to treat chlamydia, the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection, will become available for purchase in pharmacies across England later this year.

A number of chronic diseasesⁱ are in fact caused by one or more infectious agents. For example, stomach ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori, chronic lung disease in newborns and chronic asthmaⁱ in adults are both caused by Mycoplasmas and Chlamydia pneumonia, while some other pathogens have been associated with atherosclerosis. The realization that pathogens can produce slowly progressive chronic diseases has opened new lines of research into Alzheimer's disease.

Hi,

Please see this link:-

Went to the Alzheimers charity Terry has given funds to and there was no mention of cpnⁱ, or any other bacteria.

I have contacted Terry Pratchett's agent via email pointing this site out to him and :-

mentioned here.

His agent promises to pass my info onto Terry.

You never know!

has anyone had a diagnosis of chronic strep? If so what treatments/protocolsⁱ were you treated with.

"This new study highlights the importance of certain soluble proteins, called cytokinesⁱ, in Alzheimer’s disease. The study focuses on one of these cytokines, tumor necrosisⁱ factor-alpha(TNF), a critical component of the brain’s immuneⁱ system."

"The new study documents a dramatic and unprecedented therapeutic effect in an Alzheimer’s patient: improvement within minutes following delivery of perispinal etanercept, which is etanercept given by injection in the spine. Etanercept (trade name Enbrel) binds and inactivates excess TNF."

As Alzheimer's is a Cpnⁱ associated disease, an many here are treating various neurological manifestations of Cpn infection, I thought these findings would be of interest. A brief quote here, and then the links for the article:

This may have been noted before, but a nice summary of Balin's work on Chlamydia pneumoniae and Alzheimer's. Note his discussion of the need for using multple measures (up to 15) and different methodologies in trying to detect a very difficult to detect organism:

Hey's folks -ain't it funny how God works. I started on this path for my wife's CFSⁱ beginning with possible Viral agents(Shell start supplementsⁱ/nacⁱ nov 1.) then i linked up here after labs where negative for all but CPNⁱ and i found this place. Now my dad's(ALZ dxⁱ 8mos) neuroⁱ is sending him to Nashville (home of Vanderbilt U) to see a specialist in the treatment of CPn. My mom just told me -don't have a name or backgrouund yet. I'll probably be driving him up from Pensacola FL for his appt Dec 1- I hope to take my wife also if I can get her an appt. More to come-thanks lwbell

Is any body out there doing CAPⁱ for Alzhiemer's? I am having my dad do the Chlamydial Species Differentation test and hoping for a positive titer. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about a year ago. He was and remains a gifted physician and thinker. He is willing to give the protocolsⁱ a 6month run but we are curious as to the expectation of the "Herx" and what we can anticipate as symptoms. Which Abxⁱ crosses the BBBⁱ and still is effective on the recticular body form. I know that flagylⁱ crosses for the cryptic formⁱ and doxyⁱ gets the EBⁱ.

My wife will be starting the protocol soon. CFSⁱ 15yrs.

My aunt has been diagnosed with Alzheimers. She is around 80 years old. Would CAPⁱ work for my aunt? Or is it too late? I had a bad flare up of Cpnⁱ about 20 years ago that left me with brain fog, memory problems, and inability to more than one thing at a time. I felt like the cogs in my brain had sand in them. What is happening to my aunt could have happened to me.
