    The Undetectable Infection

    Hi @lorazapora , I thought you may find this article relevant. Like you I have been dealing with the option of root canal treatment because of cracked teeth. My problem was the nerves could not be deadened, he said the whole nerve was infected, but there was no abscess. This is a good article...

    The Undetectable Infection

    I know there are some people who have struggled with acne in the past. The bacteria that causes acne is found in the hair follicles of pretty much everybody. So why do some people suffer and others don't? There is a strong argument that suggests it is due to the other bacteria that inhabit the...

    Hi @dom_hend123, sorry I have been a bit elusive, I have had to move house but I have had to renovate the one I was moving into before it could happen. So I will try and help out as much as I can. I know you are referring to a specific condition and would like to know more about China and any...

    Hi @lorazapora, thanks for taking the time to trudge through this thread. Personally, I am pretty good, I am now trying to undo some of the damage that this has caused me. I have just had similar conversations with my dentist about root canal treatment and he also stated the ‘alternatives’...

    Hey @roonie here is an article written by one of the researchers/developers of supplements that I take here in Australia: https://gp2u.com.au/static/documents/Food-intolerance-and-allergy.pdf It refers to the HLA DQ2/8 gene and how it is dormant in most people and is ‘turned on’ by external...

    The Undetectable Infection

    Maybe we need to start another post on this specifically ..... but I will state that the cause of your CP is probably the cause of your CFS ..... your immune system is fighting a bacteria that it can’t see, nor can it beat ...... CP is more like an allergy than an infection ..... hence the...

    Hey @knackers323 i don’t know how you would get onto that one .... I do know however that when given the right treatment recovery is quick ..... I would even strongly dispute the ‘things get worse before getting better due to dieback’ ..... my personal experience opposes this ....... As I have...

    The Undetectable Infection

    So why is it difficult for reasearchers to link Staphlyococcus epidermidis to CFS ..... because when living on the skin it is totally inert .... in fact it can ferment glycerol which creates inhibition zones which repels other bacteria and helps to keep skin free of infection ...

    Those people who suffer skin conditions may be interested in this line of research ..... again it comes back to Staphlyococcus ....... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22310478 There are a lot of papers that further support Staphlyococcus as the cause ....

    You are on the right track @anni66 ..... MSH is a family of peptide enzymes that controls metabolism and therefore is linked to insulin resistance ..... low MSH levels can produce obesity ..... high MSH can result in low body weight ..... MSH is produced in the skin, resulting in sun tans ...

    I can only say that the spread of aids was one of my units studied at university, particularly the spread through Africa along the trucking routes out of the Congo ....

    Hi @pattismith, my staph species was tested for antibiotic sensitivity, clindamycin resistant staph species are of a similar genotype to MRSA .....

    Hi @andyguitar, doxycycline will only work once on species that do not have resistance to it. Staph has a high resistance to this abx. These days ....l minoxycyclene is a better choice. Cheers.

    Good luck researching your theory, there is one thing you are going to find difficult is to prove hiv has been around longer than the 1980"s. Researchers have actually mapped the spread of hiv and have identified the first person who contracted hiv in the Congo and carried the virus to New York...

    The Undetectable Infection

    Hey @nbutt2, CFS has been around a lot longer than hiv so it seems unlikely but until it is totally discredited scientifically, then i suppose it is a possible theory. In the most part however, it is with some confidence that I will state that the largest group of people suffering CFS have...
