MYCOPLASMA

The Linking Pathogen in Neurosystemic Diseases

Several strains of mycoplasma have been " engineered " to become

more dangerous. They are now being blamed for AIDS, cancer, CFS,

MS, CJD and other neurosystemic diseases.

PATHOGENIC MYCOPLASMA

A Common Disease Agent Weaponised

There are 200 species of Mycoplasma. Most are innocuous and do no harm;

only four or five are pathogenic. Mycoplasma fermentans (incognitus strain)

probably comes from the nucleus of the Brucella bacterium. This disease

agent is not a bacterium and not a virus; it is a mutated form of the

Brucella bacterium, combined with a visna virus, from which the mycoplasma

is extracted.

The pathogenic Mycoplasma used to be very innocuous, but biological warfare

research conducted between 1942 and the present time has resulted in the

creation of more deadly and infectious forms of Mycoplasma. Researchers

extracted this mycoplasma from the Brucella bacterium and actually reduced

the disease to a crystalline form. They " weaponised " it and tested it on an

unsuspecting public in North America.

Dr Maurice Hilleman, chief virologist for the pharmaceutical company Merck

Sharp & Dohme, stated that this disease agent is now carried by everybody

in North America and possibly most people throughout the world.

Despite reporting flaws, there has clearly been an increased incidence of

all the neuro/systemic degenerative diseases since World War II and

especially since the 1970s with the arrival of previously unheard-of diseases

like chronic fatigue syndrome and AIDS.

According to Dr Shyh-Ching Lo, senior researcher at The Armed Forces

Institute of Pathology and one of America's top mycoplasma researchers,

this disease agent causes many illnesses including AIDS, cancer, chronic

fatigue syndrome, Crohn's colitis, Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis,

Parkinson's disease, Wegener's disease and collagen-vascular diseases

such as rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's.

Dr Engel, who is with the US National Institutes of Health,

Bethesda, land, stated the following at an NIH meeting on February

7, 2000: " I am now of the view that the probable cause of chronic fatigue

syndrome and fibromyalgia is the mycoplasma... "

I have all the official documents to prove that mycoplasma is the disease

agent in chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia as well as in AIDS, multiple

sclerosis and many other illnesses. Of these, 80% are US or Canadian official

government documents, and 20% are articles from peer-reviewed journals such

as the Journal of the American Medical Association, New England Journal of

Medicine and the Canadian Medical Association Journal. The journal articles

and government documents complement each other.

How the Mycoplasma Works

The mycoplasma acts by entering into the individual cells of the body,

depending upon your genetic predisposition.

You may develop neurological diseases if the pathogen destroys certain

cells in your brain, or you may develop Crohn's colitis if the pathogen

invades and destroys cells in the lower bowel.

Once the mycoplasma gets into the cell, it can lie there doing nothing

sometimes for 10, 20 or 30 years, but if a trauma occurs like an accident

or a vaccination that doesn't take, the mycoplasma can become triggered.

Because it is only the DNA particle of the bacterium, it doesn't have any

organelles to process its own nutrients, so it grows by uptaking pre-formed

sterols from its host cell and it literally kills the cell; the cell ruptures

and what is left gets dumped into the bloodstream.

II & endash; CREATION OF THE MYCOPLASMA

A Laboratory-Made Disease Agent

Many doctors don't know about this mycoplasma disease agent because it

was developed by the US military in biological warfare experimentation and

it was not made public. This pathogen was patented by the United States

military and Dr Shyh-Ching Lo. I have a copy of the documented patent from

the US Patent Office.1

All the countries at war were experimenting with biological weapons. In 1942,

the governments of the United States, Canada and Britain entered into a secret

agreement to create two types of biological weapons (one that would kill, and

one that was disabling) for use in the war against Germany and Japan, who were

also developing biological weapons. While they researched a number of disease

pathogens, they primarily focused on the Brucella bacterium and began to

weaponise it.

From its inception, the biowarfare program was characterised by continuing

in-depth review and participation by the most eminent scientists, medical

consultants, industrial experts and government officials, and it was

classified Top Secret.

The US Public Health Service also closely followed the progress of biological

warfare research and development from the very start of the program, and the

Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH)

in the United States were working with the military in weaponising these

diseases. These are diseases that have existed for thousands of years, but

they have been weaponised--which means they've been made more contagious and

more effective. And they are spreading.

The Special Virus Cancer Program, created by the CIA and NIH to develop a

deadly pathogen for which humanity had no natural immunity (AIDS), was

disguised as a war on cancer but was actually part of MKNAOMI.2 Many members

of the Senate and House of Representatives do not know what has been going on.

For example, the US Senate Committee on Government Reform had searched the

archives in Washington and other places for the document titled " The Special

Virus Cancer Program: Progress Report No. 8 " , and couldn't find it. Somehow

they heard I had it, called me and asked me to mail it to them. Imagine: a

retired schoolteacher being called by the United States Senate and asked for

one of their secret documents! The US Senate, through the Government Reform

Committee, is trying to stop this type of government research.

Crystalline Brucella

The title page of a genuine US Senate Study, declassified on February 24,

1977, shows that Merck, of the pharmaceutical company, Merck Sharp

& Dohme (which now makes cures for diseases that at one time it created),

reported in 1946 to the US Secretary of War that his researchers had managed

" for the first time " to " isolate the disease agent in crystalline form " .3

They had produced a crystalline bacterial toxin extracted from the Brucella

bacterium. The bacterial toxin could be removed in crystalline form and stored,

transported and deployed without deteriorating. It could be delivered by other

vectors such as insects, aerosol or the food chain (in nature it is delivered

within the bacterium). But the factor that is working in the Brucella is the

mycoplasma.

Brucella is a disease agent that doesn't kill people; it disables them. But,

according to Dr MacArthur of the Pentagon, appearing before a

congressional committee in 1969,4 researchers found that if they had

mycoplasma at a certain strength--actually, 10 to the 10th power (1010)--it

would develop into AIDS, and the person would die from it within a reasonable

period of time because it could bypass the natural human defences. If the

strength was 108, the person would manifest with chronic fatigue syndrome or

fibromyalgia. If it was 107, they would present as wasting; they wouldn't die

and they wouldn't be disabled, but they would not be very interested in life;

they would waste away.

Most of us have never heard of the disease brucellosis because it largely

disappeared when they began pasteurising milk, which was the carrier. One

salt shaker of the pure disease agent in a crystalline form could sicken the

entire population of Canada. It is absolutely deadly, not so much in terms of

killing the body but disabling it.

Because the crystalline disease agent goes into solution in the blood,

ordinary blood and tissue tests will not reveal its presence. The mycoplasma

will only crystallise at 8.1 pH, and the blood has a pH of 7.4 pH. So the

doctor thinks your complaint is " all in your head " .

Crystalline Brucella and Multiple Sclerosis

In 1998 in Rochester, New York, I met a former military man, PFC

Bentley, who gave me a document and told me: " I was in the US Army, and I

was trained in bacteriological warfare. We were handling a bomb filled with

brucellosis, only it wasn't brucellosis; it was a Brucella toxin in crystalline

form. We were spraying it on the Chinese and North Koreans. "

He showed me his certificate listing his training in chemical, biological and

radiological warfare. Then he showed me 16 pages of documents given to him by

the US military when he was discharged from the service. They linked brucellosis

with multiple sclerosis, and stated in one section: " Veterans with multiple

sclerosis, a kind of creeping paralysis developing to a degree of 10% or more

disability within two years after separation from active service, may be

presumed to be service-connected for disability compensation. Compensation is

payable to eligible veterans whose disabilities are due to service. " In other

words: " If you become ill with multiple sclerosis, it is because you were

handling this Brucella, and we will give you a pension. Don't go raising any

fuss about it. " In these documents, the government of the United States

revealed evidence of the cause of multiple sclerosis, but they didn't make it

known to the public--or to your doctor.

In a 1949 report, Drs Kyger and Haden suggested " the possibility that multiple

sclerosis might be a central nervous system manifestation of chronic

brucellosis " . Testing approximately 113 MS patients, they found that almost

95% also tested positive for Brucella.5 We have a document from a medical

journal, which concludes that one out of 500 people who had brucellosis would

develop what they call neurobrucellosis; in other words, brucellosis in the

brain, where the Brucella settles in the lateral ventricles--where the disease

multiple sclerosis is basically located.6

Contamination of Camp Detrick Lab Workers

A 1948 New England Journal of Medicine report titled " Acute Brucellosis Among

Laboratory Workers " shows us how actively dangerous this agent is.7 The

laboratory workers were from Camp Detrick, Frederick, land, where they were

developing biological weapons. Even though these workers had been vaccinated,

wore rubberised suits and masks and worked through holes in the compartment,

many of them came down with this awful disease because it is so absolutely and

terrifyingly infectious.

The article was written by Lt Calderone Howell, Marine Corps, Captain

, Marine Corps, Lt , United States Naval Reserve, and Captain

Henry Bookman. They were all military personnel engaged in making the disease

agent Brucella into a more effective biological weapon.

III & endash; COVERT TESTING OF MYCOPLASMA

Testing the Dispersal Methods

Documented evidence proves that the biological weapons they were developing

were tested on the public in various communities without their knowledge or

consent.

The government knew that crystalline Brucella would cause disease in humans.

Now they needed to determine how it would spread and the best way to disperse

it. They tested dispersal methods for Brucella suis and Brucella melitensis at

Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, in June and September 1952. Probably, 100% of us

now are infected with Brucella suis and Brucella melitensis.8

Another government document recommended the genesis of open-air vulnerability

tests and covert research and development programs to be conducted by the Army

and supported by the Central Intelligence Agency.

At that time, the Government of Canada was asked by the US Government to

cooperate in testing weaponised Brucella, and Canada cooperated fully with

the United States. The US Government wanted to determine whether mosquitoes

would carry the disease and also if the air would carry it. A government report

stated that " open-air testing of infectious biological agents is considered

essential to an ultimate understanding of biological warfare potentialities

because of the many unknown factors affecting the degradation of

micro-organisms in the atmosphere " .9

Testing via Mosquito Vector in Punta Gorda, Florida

A report from The New England Journal of Medicine reveals that one of the

first outbreaks of chronic fatigue syndrome was in Punta Gorda, Florida, back

in 1957.10 It was a strange coincidence that a week before these people came

down with chronic fatigue syndrome, there was a huge influx of mosquitoes.

The National Institutes of Health claimed that the mosquitoes came from a

forest fire 30 miles away. The truth is that those mosquitoes were infected

in Canada by Dr Guilford B. at Queen's University. They were bred in

Belleville, Ontario, and taken down to Punta Gorda and released there.

Within a week, the first five cases ever of chronic fatigue syndrome were

reported to the local clinic in Punta Gorda. The cases kept coming until

finally 450 people were ill with the disease.

Testing via Mosquito Vector in Ontario

The Government of Canada had established the Dominion Parasite Laboratory in

Belleville, Ontario, where it raised 100 million mosquitoes a month. These

were shipped to Queen's University and certain other facilities to be infected

with this crystalline disease agent. The mosquitoes were then let loose in

certain communities in the middle of the night, so that the researchers could

determine how many people would become ill with chronic fatigue syndrome or

fibromyalgia, which was the first disease to show.

One of the communities they tested it on was the St Lawrence Seaway valley,

all the way from Kingston to Cornwall, in 1984. They let out hundreds of

millions of infected mosquitoes. Over 700 people in the next four or five

weeks developed myalgic encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome.

IV & endash; COVERT TESTING OF OTHER DISEASE AGENTS

Mad Cow Disease/Kuru/CJD in the Fore Tribe

Before and during World War II, at the infamous Camp 731 in Manchuria,

the Japanese military contaminated prisoners of war with certain disease agents.

They also established a research camp in New Guinea in 1942. There they

experimented upon the Fore Indian tribe and inoculated them with a minced-up

version of the brains of diseased sheep containing the visna virus which causes

" mad cow disease " or Creutzfeldt & endash;Jakob disease.

About five or six years later, after the Japanese had been driven out, the poor

people of the Fore tribe developed what they called kuru, which was their word

for " wasting " , and they began to shake, lose their appetites and die. The

autopsies revealed that their brains had literally turned to mush. They had

contracted " mad cow disease " from the Japanese experiments.

When World War II ended, Dr Ishii Shiro--the medical doctor who was commissioned

as a General in the Japanese Army so he could take command of Japan's biological

warfare development, testing and deployment--was captured. He was given the

choice of a job with the United States Army or execution as a war criminal. Not

surprisingly, Dr Ishii Shiro chose to work with the US military to demonstrate

how the Japanese had created mad cow disease in the Fore Indian tribe.

In 1957, when the disease was beginning to blossom in full among the Fore

people,

Dr Carleton Gajdusek of the US National Institutes of Health headed to New

Guinea

to determine how the minced-up brains of the visna-infected sheep affected them.

He spent a couple of years there, studying the Fore people, and wrote an

extensive report. He won the Nobel Prize for " discovering " kuru disease in the

Fore tribe.

Testing Carcinogens over Winnipeg, Manitoba

In 1953, the US Government asked the Canadian Government if it could test a

chemical over the city of Winnipeg. It was a big city with 500,000 people, miles

from anywhere. The American military sprayed this carcinogenic chemical in a

1,000%-attenuated form, which they said would be so watered down that nobody

would get very sick; however, if people came to clinics with a sniffle, a sore

throat or ringing in their ears, the researchers would be able to determine what

percentage would have developed cancer if the chemical had been used at full

strength.

We located evidence that the Americans had indeed tested this carcinogenic

chemical--zinc cadmium sulphide--over Winnipeg in 1953. We wrote to the

Government of Canada, explaining that we had solid evidence of the spraying and

asking that we be informed as to how high up in the government the request for

permission to spray had gone. We did not receive a reply.

Shortly after, the Pentagon held a press conference on May 14, 1997, where they

admitted what they had done. Russo, writing for the Toronto Star11 from

Washington, DC, reported the Pentagon's admission that in 1953 it had obtained

permission from the Canadian Government to fly over the city of Winnipeg and

spray out this chemical--which sifted down on kids going to school, housewives

hanging out their laundry and people going to work. US Army planes and trucks

released the chemical 36 times between July and August 1953. The Pentagon got

its statistics, which indicated that if the chemical released had been full

strength, approximately a third of the population of Winnipeg would have

developed cancers over the next five years.

One professor, Dr Hugh Fudenberg, MD, twice nominated for the Nobel Prize,

wrote a magazine article stating that the Pentagon came clean on this because

two researchers in Sudbury, Ontario--Don and his son, Bill --had

been revealing this to the public. However, the legwork was done by other

researchers!

The US Army actually conducted a series of simulated germ warfare tests over

Winnipeg. The Pentagon lied about the tests to the mayor, saying that they

were testing a chemical fog over the city, which would protect Winnipeg in

the event of a nuclear attack.

A report commissioned by US Congress, chaired by Dr Rogene , lists

32 American towns and cities used as test sites as well.

V & endash; BRUCELLA MYCOPLASMA AND DISEASE

AIDS

The AIDS pathogen was created out of a Brucella bacterium mutated with a

visna virus; then the toxin was removed as a DNA particle called a mycoplasma.

They used the same mycoplasma to develop disabling diseases like MS, Crohn's

colitis, Lyme disease, etc.

In the previously mentioned US congressional document of a meeting held on June

9, 1969,12 the Pentagon delivered a report to Congress about biological weapons.

The Pentagon stated: " We are continuing to develop disabling weapons. " Dr

MacArthur, who was in charge of the research, said: " We are developing a new

lethal weapon, a synthetic biological agent that does not naturally exist, and

for which no natural immunity could have been acquired. "

Think about it. If you have a deficiency of acquired immunity, you have an

acquired immunity deficiency. Plain as that. AIDS.

In laboratories throughout the United States and in a certain number in Canada

including at the University of Alberta, the US Government provided the

leadership for the development of AIDS for the purpose of population control.

After the scientists had perfected it, the government sent medical teams from

the Centers for Disease Control--under the direction of Dr A. ,

their investigator into the 1957 chronic fatigue epidemic in Punta Gorda--during

1969 to 1971 to Africa and some countries such as India, Nepal and Pakistan

where they thought the population was becoming too large.13 They gave them all

a free vaccination against smallpox; but five years after receiving this

vaccination, 60% of those inoculated were suffering from AIDS. They tried to

blame it on a monkey, which is nonsense.

A professor at the University of Arkansas made the claim that while studying

the tissues of a dead chimpanzee she found traces of HIV. The chimpanzee that

she had tested was born in the United States 23 years earlier. It had lived its

entire life in a US military laboratory where it was used as an experimental

animal in the development of these diseases. When it died, its body was shipped

to a storage place where it was deep-frozen and stored in case they wanted to

analyse it later. Then they decided that they didn't have enough space for it,

so they said, " Anybody want this dead chimpanzee? " and this researcher from

Arkansas said: " Yes. Send it down to the University of Arkansas. We are happy

to get anything that we can get. " They shipped it down and she found HIV in it.

That virus was acquired by that chimpanzee in the laboratories where it was

tested.14

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgic Encephalomyelitis

Chronic fatigue syndrome is more accurately called myalgic encephalomyelitis.

The chronic fatigue syndrome nomenclature was given by the US National

Institutes of Health because it wanted to downgrade and belittle the disease.

An MRI scan of the brain of a teenage girl with chronic fatigue syndrome

displayed a great many scars or punctate lesions in the left frontal lobe area

where portions of the brain had literally dissolved and been replaced by scar

tissue. This caused cognitive impairment, memory impairment, etc. And what was

the cause of the scarring? The mycoplasma. So there is very concrete physical

evidence of these tragic diseases, even though doctors continue to say they

don't know where it comes from or what they can do about it.

Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalo-myelitis and

fibromyalgia who apply to the Canada Pensions Plan Review Tribunal will be

turned down because they cannot prove that they are ill. During 1999 I

conducted several appeals to Canada Pensions and the Workers Compensation

Board (WCB, now the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) on behalf of people

who have been turned down. I provided documented evidence of these illnesses,

and these people were all granted their pensions on the basis of the evidence

that I provided.

In March 1999, for example, I appealed to the WCB on behalf of a lady with

fibromyalgia who had been denied her pension back in 1993. The vice-chairman

of the board came to Sudbury to hear the appeal, and I showed him a number

of documents which proved that this lady was physically ill with fibromyalgia.

It was a disease that caused physical damage, and the disease agent was a

mycoplasma. The guy listened for three hours, and then he said to me: " Mr

, how is it I have never heard of any of this before? I said: " We brought

a top authority in this area into Sudbury to speak on this subject and not a

single solitary doctor came to that presentation. "

VI & endash; TESTING FOR MYCOPLASMA IN YOUR BODY

Polymerase Chain Reaction Test

Information is not generally available about this agent because, first of all,

the mycoplasma is such a minutely small disease agent. A hundred years ago,

certain medical theoreticians conceived that there must be a form of disease

agent smaller than bacteria and viruses. This pathogenic organism, the

mycoplasma,

is so minute that normal blood and tissue tests will not reveal its presence as

the source of the disease.

Your doctor may diagnose you with Alzheimer's disease, and he will say:

" Golly, we don't know where Alzheimer's comes from. All we know is that your

brain begins to deteriorate, cells rupture, the myelin sheath around the

nerves dissolves, and so on. " Or if you have chronic fatigue syndrome, the

doctor will not be able to find any cause for your illness with ordinary blood

and tissue tests.

This mycoplasma couldn't be detected until about 30 years ago when the

polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was developed, in which a sample of your

blood is examined and damaged particles are removed and subjected to a

polymerase chain reaction. This causes the DNA in the particles to break down.

The particles are then placed in a nutrient, which causes the DNA to grow back

into its original form. If enough of the substance is produced, the form can be

recognised, so it can be determined whether Brucella or another kind of agent

is behind that particular mycoplasma.

Blood Test

If you or anybody in your family has myalgic encephalomyelitis, fibromyalgia,

multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's, you can send a blood sample to Dr Les

Simpson in New Zealand for testing.

If you are ill with these diseases, your red blood cells will not be normal

doughnut-shaped blood cells capable of being compressed and squeezed through

the capillaries, but will swell up like cherry-filled doughnuts which cannot

be compressed. The blood cells become enlarged and distended because the only

way the mycoplasma can exist is by uptaking pre-formed sterols from the host

cell. One of the best sources of pre-formed sterols is cholesterol, and

cholesterol is what gives your blood cells flexibility. If the cholesterol is

taken out by the mycoplasma, the red blood cell swells up and doesn't go

through, and the person begins to feel all the aches and pains and all the

damage it causes to the brain, the heart, the stomach, the feet and the whole

body because blood and oxygen are cut off.

And that is why people with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome have

such a terrible time. When the blood is cut off from the brain, punctate

lesions appear because those parts of the brain die. The mycoplasma will get

into portions of the heart muscle, especially the left ventricle, and those

cells will die. Certain people have cells in the lateral ventricles of the

brain that have a genetic predisposition to admit the mycoplasma, and this

causes the lateral ventricles to deteriorate and die. This leads to multiple

sclerosis, which will progress until these people are totally disabled;

frequently, they die prematurely. The mycoplasma will get into the lower

bowel, parts of which will die, thus causing colitis. All of these diseases

are caused by the degenerating properties of the mycoplasma.

In early 2000, a gentleman in Sudbury phoned me and told me he had

fibromyalgia. He applied for a pension and was turned down because his

doctor said it was all in his head and there was no external evidence. I

gave him the proper form and a vial, and he sent his blood to Dr Simpson

to be tested. He did this with his family doctor's approval, and the results

from Dr Simpson showed that only 4% of his red blood cells were functioning

normally and carrying the appropriate amount of oxygen to his poor body,

whereas 83% were distended, enlarged and hardened, and wouldn't go through

the capillaries without an awful lot of pressure and trouble. This is the

physical evidence of the damage that is done.

ECG Test

You can also ask your doctor to give you a 24-hour Holter ECG. You know, of

course, that an electrocardiogram is a measure of your heartbeat and shows

what is going on in the right ventricle, the left ventricle and so on. Tests

show that 100% of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia have

an irregular heartbeat. At various periods during the 24 hours, the heart,

instead of working happily away going " bump-BUMP, bump-BUMP " , every now and

again goes " buhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuh " . The T-wave (the waves are called

P, Q, R, S and T) is normally a peak, and then the wave levels off and starts

with the P-wave again. In chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia patients, the

T-wave flattens off, or actually inverts. That means the blood in the left

ventricle is not being squeezed up through the aorta and around through the

body.

My client from Sudbury had this test done and, lo and behold, the results

stated: " The shape of T and S-T suggests left ventricle strain pattern,

although voltage and so on is normal. " The doctor had no clue as to why

the T-wave was not working properly. I analysed the report of this patient

who had been turned down by Canada Pensions and sent it back to them. They

wrote back, saying: " It looks like we may have made a mistake. We are going

to give you a hearing and you can explain this to us in more detail. "

So it is not all in your imagination. There is actual physical damage to the

heart. The left ventricle muscles do show scarring. That is why many people

are diagnosed with a heart condition when they first develop fibromyalgia,

but it's only one of several problems because the mycoplasma can do all

kinds of damage.

Blood Volume Test

You can also ask your doctor for a blood volume test. Every human being

requires a certain amount of blood per pound of body weight, and it has

been observed that people with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome,

multiple sclerosis and other illnesses do not have the normal blood volume

their body needs to function properly. Doctors aren't normally aware of this.

This test measures the amount of blood in the human body by taking out 5 cc,

putting a tracer in it and then putting it back into the body. One hour later,

take out 5 cc again and look for the tracer. The thicker the blood and the

lower the blood volume, the more tracer you will find.

The analysis of one of my clients stated: " This patient was referred for red

cell mass study. The red cell volume is 16.9 ml per kg of body weight. The

normal range is 25 to 35 ml per kg. This guy has 36% less blood in his body

than the body needs to function. " And the doctor hadn't even known the

test existed.

If you lost 36% of your blood in an accident, do you think your doctor would

tell you that you are alright and should just take up line dancing and get

over it? They would rush you to the nearest hospital and start transfusing

you with blood. These tragic people with these awful diseases are functioning

with anywhere from 7% to 50% less blood than their body needs to function.

VII & endash; UNDOING THE DAMAGE

The body undoes the damage itself. The scarring in the brain of people with

chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia will be repaired. There is cellular repair

going on all the time. But the mycoplasma has moved on to the next cell.

In the early stages of a disease, doxycycline may reverse that disease

process. It is one of the tetracycline antibiotics, but it is not bactericidal;

it is bacteriostatic--it stops the growth of the mycoplasma. And if the

mycoplasma growth can be stopped for long enough, then the immune system

takes over.

Doxycycline treatment is discussed in a paper by mycoplasma expert Professor

Garth Nicholson, PhD, of the Institute for Molecular Medicine.15 Dr Nicholson

is involved in a US$8-million mycoplasma research program funded by the US

military and headed by Dr Engel of the NIH. The program is studying

Gulf War veterans, 450 of them, because there is evidence to suggest that

Gulf War syndrome is another illness (or set of illnesses) caused by mycoplasma.
