- The Role
of Chlamydia pneumoniae and Inflammatory Proteins in Atherosclerosis
Methods were developed for detection of Chlamydia pneumoniae genomes and IgM
antibodies against major membrane proteins. In addition to C. pneumoniae genome and
IgM antibodies, inflammatory proteins play a significant role in the development of
cardiovascular disease. Therefore, measurements of IgM antibodies against C.
pneumoniae, and direct detection of its genome in the blood, along with antioxidized LDL,
endothelial cell antibodies, fibrinogen, Protein-C, and C-Reactive protein are the best
indicators of the involvement of infectious agents, inflammation, and immune reaction in
atherosclerosis.
- Patent:
Immunological Cross Reactivity between Candida and Human Tissue or Food Antigens
A method of determining immunological cross reactivity between candida and human
tissue or food antigens utilizing elecrophoresis. This method provides scientific proof of
the underlying causes of autoimmune disease induced by yeast or dietary proteins.
- Minimizing
Cancer Risk using Molecular Techniques: A Review
Applying molecular techniques to look for biomarkers which can signal enhanced
risk of cancer. Providing clinicians with these clues in order to utilize natural and
synthetic compounds to intervene in the early precancerous stages of carcinogenesis before
invasive disease begins.
- Methyl
Tertiary-Butyl Ether Antibodies among Gasoline Service Station Attendants
Occupational exposure to petroleum products (MTBE) may induce immunological
disorders by their binding to human body proteins.
- Enhancement
of Human Natural Killer Cytotoxic Activity by Vitamin C in Pure and Augmented Formulations
The molecular effects of ascorbic acid and Vitamin C on antitumor activity is
examined. It is determined that these substances can enhance natural killer cell activity
which are the first line of defense against cancer.
- Enhancement
of Natural Killer Cell Activity and T and B Cell Function by Buffered Vitamin C in
Patients Exposed to Toxic Chemical: The Role of Protein
Kinase - C
Exposure to toxic chemicals leads to decreased NK function. The effect of
buffered vitamin C on NK, T and B cell function in patients who have been exposed to toxic
chemicals is significant. Immune function abnormalities can be restored and the
anti-cancer capabilities of the blood cells can be improved through oral usage of vitamin
C.
- Elevated
Apoptotic Cell Population in Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Pivotal Role of
Protein Kinase RNA
A prominent feature of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a disordered immune
system. Protein kinase RNA or PKR-mediated apoptosis in CFS individuals may contribute to
the pathogenesis and the fatigue symptomatology associated with CFS. In addition to 2-5A
synthetase, PKR could be used to aid in the diagnosis of CFS.
- Putting
Chemical and Environmental Sensitivities in Perspective
Chemical sensitivities in today’s work and the diverse opinions as to how to
correctly diagnose them are examined. It is possible to diagnose and treat patients in a
reasonable, cost-effective, and rational manner without labeling them as having
psychological disorders.
- Abnormal
Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Progression in Humans Exposed to Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether and
Benzene Contaminating Water
MTBE, a gasoline additive, which was consumed through drinking water, is examined
as a possible mediator of change in cell cycle progression and induction of programmed
cell death. This elevation in apoptosis of programmed cell death may be the cause of
fatigue and other symptomologies found in these patients.
- Scientific Facts vs. Fiction about Mycoplasma
Clearing up the confusion among patients created by non-professionals
inexperienced in the field of microbiology and molecular biology who tend to blame all
chronic illnesses on Mycoplasma.
