Hidden Invaders Mycoplasmas

An MS patient mentions that his wife “experiences ‘sympathy
pains’ in her joints.”
A patient with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia
comments in passing of her “chocolate cravings.”
An arthritis sufferer tells us how she “battles pneumonia and
upper respiratory problems all the time.”
The bad news and the good news.
The bad news is that what these people have in common are not simply symptoms, but may be the tip of an epidemic of an
iceberg that threatens worldwide health. The good news is that we may have found the single causative agent for a multitude
of chronic illnesses, some of which patients have been told “it’s only in your head.”
Chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis, Gulf War Syndrome, multiple sclerosis, lupus, Crohn’s disease and a host
of other vague disorders have baffled physicians and caused untold pain among sufferers for years. Now, there is mounting
evidence that these disorders may well be caused by a peculiar species of a highly contagious and insidious stealth
pathogen…mycoplasma. Best of all, if we know the cause, we can determine the cure!
What is a mycoplasma?
Most of the body’s 100 trillion cells have a cell membrane composed of proteins and fats. The purpose of the cell membrane is
to regulate the passage of nutrients in and out of the cell. Mycoplasmas are neither viral or bacterial and lack a cell membrane
enabling them to change form, invade other cells with impunity and play “hide and seek” within the body’s immune system
causing any number of so called auto immune disorders. According to Dr. Lida Holmes Mattman, these “cell wall deficient
forms easily move between groups of cells and fuse together to facilitate ‘genetic experiments’ within the body.”
Mycoplasmas exist on L-arginine (the amino acid in chocolate). They have the ability to cross the blood brain barrier and enter
the spinal fluid and cause brain abscesses and central nervous system lesions and may be a primary cause of Alzheimer’s.
They can enter the synovial fluid of the joints and cause rheumatoid arthritis. They can be transmitted by casual contact and,
as we often tell our clients, “If you have them it’s a good bet your family has them, as well.”
While mycoplasmas have been around for hundreds of years, their prominence and importance in diseases of an “unknown
nature” has only been recently discovered by scientists who are now beginning to uncover some startling evidence. The fact
that “this pathogen is being largely ignored by medical science is criminal”, according to Dr. Mattman. Worse, according to
Drs. Garth and Nancy Nicolson, the “newer versions” of mycoplasma exhibit characteristics only displayed by engineering…in
other words, someone has been tampering with Mother Nature and that someone may be government researchers involved in
bacteriological warfare. That may be the reason a federal statute existed (repealed only last November) that allowed the
Department of Defense to conduct germ warfare experiments on unsuspecting civilian populations within the U.S. This might
explain the outbreak of CFS in the mid 1980’s in Incline Village, Nevada.
Ok. I get the picture! Now what?
The fact is most physicians will not often run tests for mycoplasmas primarily because the culturing of mycoplasmas is
difficult and may take months to obtain any results. Even when they suspect mycoplasma infection, the standard course of
treatment is usually tetracycline or doxycycline for several months. This places a huge strain on the liver and kidneys and could
be worse than the condition.
For arthritis, the most often prescribed medications are steroids which provide only temporary and symptomatic relief and
gives the pathogens free rein to proliferate.
While giving up pharmaceuticals may seem a daunting prospect, it would benefit the patient to try the following routine that is
intended to kill the invaders and repair the damage. Your entire family should follow this regimen!
Uva Ursi or bearberry (an herb used mainly for bladder infections) is effective against mycoplasmas. However, to be effective,
the body must be kept alkaline and should be used with the advice of a competent nutritionist. Uva Ursi must not be used for
more than 14 days in succession.
We also recommend at least 350-700 mgs daily of pycnogenols (to help with free radical damage), 1,000 mgs daily of omega
3 essential fatty acids (especially shark liver oil), 50-100 mgs zinc (do not exceed 100 mgs. daily). STAY AWAY FROM
SUGARS…(sorry…no Snicker’s™).
Another effective approach is the use of olive leaf extract and ReGenesis. ReGenesis was developed by Dr. Hugh Smith and
has proved to be extremely effective in chronic illnesses stemming from mycoplasma infections such as arthritis and MS.
If you are suffering from any “unknown” disorders or chronic illnesses that are “all in your head” and have been told it’s
incurable, you might want to strongly consider trying the above regimen for 3 months. If you experience relief, you can be
relatively certain you’re on the right healing track and this time, Mother Nature won’t be fooled.
