Chlamydia Pneumoniae
http://www.cpnhelp.org/
Cpnhelp.org: A website devoted to the understanding and treatment of Chlamydia Pneumoniae, an infectious bacteria implicated in a number of human illnesses. Cpnhelp.org is a non-commercial, website run and supported by volunteers, and does not take monetary or other assistance from any other sources.
Chlamydia Pneumoniae (Cpn) has been implicated in such a wide variety of diseases that information about it's treatment and science is scattered about the web and tends to be focused on just one of these illnesses. We hope to be a central source of information, which will allow us to share findings and compare treatment responses across the variety of problems Cpn causes. Work at Vanderbilt University by Stratton et al, extended by British physician David Wheldon
i has formulated Combination Antibiotic Protocols
ii (CAP
i's) to treat the multiple life phases of Cpn and fully eradicate this persistent infection.
www.cpnhelp.org was started by educated patients who are themselves undergoing combination antibiotic treatment of diseasesi where Cpni has been implicated, including:
Multiple sclerosis, Chronic fatigue, Cardiac disease, Interstitial cystitis, Prostatitis, Crohn's diseasei, Inflammatory bowel diseasei, Alzheimer's disease, Asthma, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Chronic refractory sinusitis, Macular Degeneration, and others.
Chlamydia pnemoniae elementary bodies (EBi'si) being carried on red blood cells.
What makes Chlamydia Pneumoniae (Cpn) so troublesome?
- While it may start as a respiratory infection, Cpn can be carried to other parts of the body and infect many other tissues, including nerve tissue, the brain, muscles, the lining of blood vessels and even your immunei cells (macrophages).
- Standard single antibiotic courses (two weeks) only kill Cpn in one of its three life phases, leaving live forms of Cpn bacteria which are in other stages to renew infection.
- Cpn contains at least two endotoxinsi (toxic chemicals) which cause tissue damage and inflammationi, chronic immune activation and toxic load in your body.
- Cpn infects inside your cells and parasitically steals energy from your own body cells in order to replicate.
- The only way to cure it is to take a combination of antibioticsi, to kill it in all of it's life phases so nothing is left behind to re-infect.
New to understanding Chlamydia pneumonia?
Our suggestion is to read the forums and comments after you have gotten a basic understanding of Cpn and the treatment process. Forums are often discussions of material which might not make much sense without context, and blogs may be expressions of people in the midst of a challenging moment in treatment, not necessarily typical of what one would expect on the protocol.
If you have Multiple Sclerosisi- Skip the above and first read through
David Wheldon's wonderful website on treating MS
i through an empirical protocol to treat Chlamydia pnemoniae. It is specifically geared to present the case for this in MS, and is very cogently layed out. Come to think of it, you should read through his site even if you are looking to treat Chlamydia pneumoniae for diseases other than MS.
