Re: Mycoplasma and families of Military

Let me put it this way. I am the mother of a Veteran daughter who served in Afghanistan. Would it be better to get her cleaned up of this stuff now, before she has children--or wait to see if the children are affected, and then do something?

Literally--the most important investment you could make for your family, not just yourself- is Rife equipment. John started trying to address is son's health issues, from the time his son was 2-3 years old.

Ask him how important the F165/SC-1 has been for addressing his entire family's long-time health problems. He's been here on CZ for years too, much like yourself..searching for answers. Is he finding core causes now? What is he heading off for his son?

Who has "Lyme"? Everyone here.

A majority of Autism patients have systemic bacterial, viral and fungal infections that may play an important part in their illnesses. We found that immediate family members of veterans diagnosed with Gulf War Illnesses (GWI) often complain of fatiguing illnesses, and upon analysis they report similar signs and symptoms as their veteran family members, except that their children are often diagnosed with Autism. Since a relatively common finding in GWI patients is a bacterial infection due to Mycoplasma fermentans, we examined military families (149 patients: 42 veterans, 40 spouses, 32 other relatives and 35 children with at least one family complaint of illness) selected from a group of 110 veterans with GWI who tested positive (~42%) for mycoplasmal infections. Consistent with previous results, over 80% of GWI patients who were positive for blood mycoplasmal infections had only one Mycoplasma species, M. fermentans. In healthy control subjects the incidence of mycoplasmal nfection was ~8.5% and none were found to have multiple mycoplasmal species (P<0.001). In 107 family members of mycoplasma-positive GWI patients there were 57 patients (53%) that had essentially the same signs and symptoms as the veterans and were diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) and/or Fibromyalgia Syndrome. The majority of children (n=35) in this group were diagnosed with autism. Most of these Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome or Autism patients also had mycoplasmal infections compared to the few non-symptomatic family members (P<0.001), and the most common species found was M. fermentans. In contrast, in the few non-symptomatic family members that tested mycoplasma-positive, the Mycoplasma species were usually different from the species found in the GWI patients. The results suggest that a subset of GWI patients have mycoplasmal infections, and these infections can be transmitted to immediate family members who subsequently display similar signs and symptoms, except for theirchildren who are often diagnosed with Autism. In a separate study in Central California we examined autism patients and also found a high incidence of mycoplasmal infections, but in contrast to the military families a variety of Mycoplasma species were detected in Autism patients.
