Hi folks,
I have hands on research with respect to the health concerns often sited in this forum, and have come to some very enlightening conclusions.
I do stool exams on a regular basis so I can see all the changes going on in digestive environment {on myself}.
I have seen multiple pathogens, infecting at the same time, I have seen and confirmed immunological changes, and biochemical changes.
I my case, it is H. Pylori which is the main culprit. It took along time to see this.
When you have this common parasitic bacteria in your gut, it calls upon certain immune cells. These cells are not part of the humeral system--meaning they are deriving from the "hard-wired" system you are born with, and is a common mechanism, not requiring multiphasic stages of the immune response amplification pathways ie. IgG antibodies.
These cells differentiate into amoebic-like cells, which scour the tissue areas infected with intracellular infective agents such as H. Pylori. They are very toxic. This system may also come into play with viral infiltrates, but I have no way of knowing this without observing candidates with this type of pathology.
These amoebic cells which theoretically derive from macrophages, "burn" surface tissue, to get at the infection. This causes inflammation. It also produces a chemical which is highly antibiotic|toxic to bacteria. It will kill off many species of bacteria causing multiple deficiencies such as enzyme and vitamins.
There is also gland involvement and multiple other physiological consequences. This condition can open the door to other potential
parasites and pathogens, and yes, sometimes yeast\fungal cells which can thrive in this high nitrate\nitrite environment depending on host TLR, HLA, and multiple other genetic considerations.
The other consequence is the presence of proteases, which cause problems with gut SIgA antibodies, reducing their effectiveness, and inhibiting cytokine\hormonal modulation.
No amount of probiotics will correct this situation, but I have discovered lactase will help sustain Lactobacillus populations, which brings substantial relief, and reduces the "bad bugs" which thrive in the imbalanced biochemical environment caused by your own immune cells.
I am investigating how best to eradicate the H. Pylori infection using both natural and pharmaceutical methods.
This is a very common infection, and can be easily diagnosed. I highly recommend this before embarking upon multiple regimes to control yeast populations, as this can mostly end up being ineffective as long as primary occult gut infections exist.
