This is a duplicate of something I just posted. It warrants its own thread.
Recent quotes from Dr. Fry excerpted below. Article includes observations from Neil Nathan, MD on mold and more.
https://www.betterhealthguy.com/tfim2017 "...Steve Fry, MD spoke on "Genetic Evidence of Biofilm Eukaryotes in Inflammatory and Autoimmune Disease by Next-Generation Sequencing" and shared:
•Prokaryotes are bacteria.
•Fungus participate in biofilms as well.
•Autoimmune diseases are a big business.
•Of the top 5 drops, 4 of them are for Rheumatoid Arthritis.
•Toxoplasmosis is found in some cases of RA.
•Fungal antibodies are observed in RA as well.
•Most believe that CFS/FMS are viral and bacterial.
•Some patients developed CFS after a Giardia outbreak.
•Some research shows that protozoa may be the underlying factor in MS.
•Plaquenil is a drug of choice for Lupus.
•CCSVI results when eukaryotes create biofilm communities obstructing blood flow in the arteries and veins; possibly also releasing toxins.
•We can only culture about
2% of all bacteria known today.
•
Protomyxzoa rheumatica is an organism whose identification is credited to Dr. Fry's work. When they recently looked at this organism compared to 56 million sequences in the international database, the closest is Adriana peritocrescens.
•There are 30,000-200,000 protozoans in the environment.
•
Funneliformis mosseae is one of the organisms they see in chronically-ill individuals; formerly referred to as Glomus mosseae.
•PCR testing is no longer used as it is often negative. They use sequencing.
•
Doxycycline has fungal antibiofilm activity; research is emerging. •Saccharomyces cerevisiae is found in osteoarthritis frequently.
•CFS patients may show
Funneliformis mosseae and Saccharomyces cerevisiae which are both fungal issues.
•
There is some observation that clearing fungus may then unlayer H. Pylori.•In one case of ALS, they identified several different marine organisms.
•There is a very tight cluster of microbial patterns in ALS vs. CFS/MS and normal controls.
•
Perkinsus is a shellfish parasite that has been identified in some sicker CFS patients as well as Spumella which is an algae.
•In ALS, they see alphaproteobacteria, deltaproteobacteria, Clostridium, and Flavobacterium. It may be eukaryotic in nature and may be a vascular disease as some patients have short-lasting improvement with angioplasty.
•
Most common organisms identified with their DNA sequencing in chronically ill patients include: Funneliformis mosseae , Perkinsus, Hydrurus foetidus, Spumella, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Toxoplasmosis.•Saccharomyces cerevisiae can become pathogenic.
•His approach is to identify the organisms, use clinical experience, explore genetic resistance markers, implement an antibiofilm approach, and consider host immune factors. This would include agents that are antibiofilm, antifungal, antiprotozoal, and antialgal.
•
Clarithryomycin may be an antifungal synergizer. •
Ivermectin has antifungal properties and is generally a safe medication; though can have some elevated liver enzymes. "
