- Rivendell,
Thanks for that article. I'm glad they are looking at continuing symptoms yet sad that they very clearly do not want to make any causal connection.
They are so perplexed, still never give any thought to the idea that the infections were never properly treated or that Cpn can be chronic, requiring a very complex treatment over a long time.
They also don't account for the frequency of Cpn AND other chronic stealth infections. Many with lyme / TBD also have Cpn. So, it sure seems that many with Cpn might also have lyme / TBD, etc.
They are so against the idea of infection it seems like criminal neglect to me.
" . . . Wright explained that exposure to bacteria or viruses doesn't necessarily mean a person became ill from it.
"Infection is a little bit of a strong term. . . ." (end quote)
"Strong term" no doubt is to keep patients from asking for proper treatment. Their "not becoming ill" -- well, what's memory loss? My guess is that many of those also told doctors of symptoms along the way but were turned away.
It would be interesting to look more deeply at the health history, from the patients' points of view.
They want more and more research money for their side-line hypotheses, all the while patients are not being treated adequately.
". . . We're not proving causation. There's no evidence yet that treating these infections will help," Wright said . . . ." (end quote)
Actually, there IS evidence that treating Cpn CAN help - in the links below.
Back to what active persistent Cpn can "do" on-going . . . Many who were misdiagnosed as having MS have found help with Cpn treatment protocol, some also alongside treatment for lyme / TBD.
Most LLMDs and LL NDs are very familiar with Cpn. There are many similarities in treatment for TBD and Cpn.
