There are 200 species of Mycoplasma. Most are
innocuous and do no harm; only four or five are pathogenic. Mycoplasma
fermentans (incognitus strain) probably comes from the nucleus
of the Brucella bacterium. This disease agent is not a bacterium
and not a virus; it is a mutated form of the Brucella bacterium,
combined with a visna virus, from which the mycoplasma is extracted.
The pathogenic Mycoplasma used to be very innocuous,
but biological warfare research conducted between 1942 and the
present time has resulted in the creation of more deadly and infectious
forms of Mycoplasma. Researchers extracted this mycoplasma from
the Brucella bacterium and actually reduced the disease to a crystalline
form. They "weaponised" it and tested it on an unsuspecting
public in North America.
Dr Maurice Hilleman, chief virologist for the
pharmaceutical company Merck Sharp & Dohme, stated that this
disease agent is now carried by everybody in North America and
possibly most people throughout the world.
Despite reporting flaws, there has clearly been
an increased incidence of all the neuro/systemic degenerative diseases
since World War II and especially since the 1970s with the arrival
of previously unheard-of diseases like chronic fatigue syndrome
and AIDS.
According to Dr Shyh-Ching Lo, senior researcher
at The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and one of America's
top mycoplasma researchers, this disease agent causes many illnesses
including AIDS, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, Crohn's colitis,
Type I diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Wegener's
disease and collagen-vascular diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis
and Alzheimer's.
Dr Charles Engel, who is with the US National
Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, stated the following
at an NIH meeting on February 7, 2000: "I am now of the view
that the probable cause of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
is the mycoplasma..."
I have all the official documents to prove that
mycoplasma is the disease agent in chronic fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia
as well as in AIDS, multiple sclerosis and many other illnesses.
Of these, 80% are US or Canadian official government documents,
and 20% are articles from peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal
of the American Medical Association, New England Journal of Medicine
and the Canadian Medical Association Journal. The journal articles
and government documents complement each other.
How the Mycoplasma Works
The mycoplasma acts by entering into the individual
cells of the body, depending upon your genetic predisposition.
You may develop neurological diseases if the
pathogen destroys certain cells in your brain, or you may develop
Crohn's colitis if the pathogen invades and destroys cells in the
lower bowel.
Once the mycoplasma gets into the cell, it can
lie there doing nothing sometimes for 10, 20 or 30 years, but if
a trauma occurs like an accident or a vaccination that doesn't
take, the mycoplasma can become triggered.
Because it is only the DNA particle of the bacterium,
it doesn't have any organelles to process its own nutrients, so
it grows by uptaking pre-formed sterols from its host cell and
it literally kills the cell; the cell ruptures and what is left
gets dumped into the bloodstream.
Creation of the Mycoplasma
A Laboratory-Made Disease Agent
Many doctors don't know about this mycoplasma
disease agent because it was developed by the US military in biological
warfare experimentation and it was not made public. This pathogen
was patented by the United States military and Dr Shyh-Ching Lo.
I have a copy of the documented patent from the US Patent Office.1
All the countries at war were experimenting with
biological weapons. In 1942, the governments of the United States,
Canada and Britain entered into a secret agreement to create two
types of biological weapons (one that would kill, and one that
was disabling) for use in the war against Germany and Japan, who
were also developing biological weapons. While they researched
a number of disease pathogens, they primarily focused on the Brucella
bacterium and began to weaponise it.
From its inception, the biowarfare program was
characterised by continuing in-depth review and participation by
the most eminent scientists, medical consultants, industrial experts
and government officials, and it was classified Top Secret.
The US Public Health Service also closely followed
the progress of biological warfare research and development from
the very start of the program, and the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United
States were working with the military in weaponising these diseases.
These are diseases that have existed for thousands of years, but
they have been weaponised--which means they've been made more contagious
and more effective. And they are spreading.
The Special Virus Cancer Program, created by
the CIA and NIH to develop a deadly pathogen for which humanity
had no natural immunity (AIDS), was disguised as a war on cancer
but was actually part of MKNAOMI.2 Many members of the Senate and
House of Representatives do not know what has been going on. For
example, the US Senate Committee on Government Reform had searched
the archives in Washington and other places for the document titled "The
Special Virus Cancer Program: Progress Report No. 8", and
couldn't find it. Somehow they heard I had it, called me and asked
me to mail it to them. Imagine: a retired schoolteacher being called
by the United States Senate and asked for one of their secret documents!
The US Senate, through the Government Reform Committee, is trying
to stop this type of government research.
Crystalline Brucella
The title page of a genuine US Senate Study,
declassified on February 24, 1977, shows that George Merck, of
the pharmaceutical company, Merck Sharp & Dohme (which now
makes cures for diseases that at one time it created), reported
in 1946 to the US Secretary of War that his researchers had managed "for
the first time" to "isolate the disease agent in crystalline
form".3
They had produced a crystalline bacterial toxin
extracted from the Brucella bacterium. The bacterial toxin could
be removed in crystalline form and stored, transported and deployed
without deteriorating. It could be delivered by other vectors such
as insects, aerosol or the food chain (in nature it is delivered
within the bacterium). But the factor that is working in the Brucella
is the mycoplasma.
Brucella is a disease agent that doesn't kill
people; it disables them. But, according to Dr Donald MacArthur
of the Pentagon, appearing before a congressional committee in
1969,4 researchers found that if they had mycoplasma at a certain
strength--actually, 10 to the 10th power (1010)--it would develop
into AIDS, and the person would die from it within a reasonable
period of time because it could bypass the natural human defences.
If the strength was 108, the person would manifest with chronic
fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia. If it was 107, they would present
as wasting; they wouldn't die and they wouldn't be disabled, but
they would not be very interested in life; they would waste away.
Most of us have never heard of the disease brucellosis
because it largely disappeared when they began pasteurising milk,
which was the carrier. One salt shaker of the pure disease agent
in a crystalline form could sicken the entire population of Canada.
It is absolutely deadly, not so much in terms of killing the body
but disabling it.
Because the crystalline disease agent goes into
solution in the blood, ordinary blood and tissue tests will not
reveal its presence. The mycoplasma will only crystallise at 8.1
pH, and the blood has a pH of 7.4 pH. So the doctor thinks your
complaint is "all in your head".
Crystalline Brucella and Multiple Sclerosis
In 1998 in Rochester, New York, I met a former
military man, PFC Donald Bentley, who gave me a document and told
me: "I was in the US Army, and I was trained in bacteriological
warfare. We were handling a bomb filled with brucellosis, only
it wasn't brucellosis; it was a Brucella toxin in crystalline form.
We were spraying it on the Chinese and North Koreans."
He showed me his certificate listing his training
in chemical, biological and radiological warfare. Then he showed
me 16 pages of documents given to him by the US military when he
was discharged from the service. They linked brucellosis with multiple
sclerosis, and stated in one section: "Veterans with multiple
sclerosis, a kind of creeping paralysis developing to a degree
of 10% or more disability within two years after separation from
active service, may be presumed to be service-connected for disability
compensation. Compensation is payable to eligible veterans whose
disabilities are due to service." In other words: "If
you become ill with multiple sclerosis, it is because you were
handling this Brucella, and we will give you a pension. Don't go
raising any fuss about it." In these documents, the government
of the United States revealed evidence of the cause of multiple
sclerosis, but they didn't make it known to the public--or to your
doctor.
In a 1949 report, Drs Kyger and Haden suggested "the
possibility that multiple sclerosis might be a central nervous
system manifestation of chronic brucellosis". Testing approximately
113 MS patients, they found that almost 95% also tested positive
for Brucella.5 We have a document from a medical journal, which
concludes that one out of 500 people who had brucellosis would
develop what they call neurobrucellosis; in other words, brucellosis
in the brain, where the Brucella settles in the lateral ventricles--where
the disease multiple sclerosis is basically located.6
Contamination of Camp Detrick Lab Workers
A 1948 New England Journal of Medicine report
titled "Acute Brucellosis Among Laboratory Workers" shows
us how actively dangerous this agent is.7 The laboratory workers
were from Camp Detrick, Frederick, Maryland, where they were developing
biological weapons. Even though these workers had been vaccinated,
wore rubberised suits and masks and worked through holes in the
compartment, many of them came down with this awful disease because
it is so absolutely and terrifyingly infectious.
The article was written by Lt Calderone Howell,
Marine Corps, Captain Edward Miller, Marine Corps, Lt Emily Kelly,
United States Naval Reserve, and Captain Henry Bookman. They were
all military personnel engaged in making the disease agent Brucella
into a more effective biological weapon.
Covert Testing of Mycoplasma
Testing the Dispersal Methods
Documented evidence proves that the biological
weapons they were developing were tested on the public in various
communities without their knowledge or consent.
The government knew that crystalline Brucella
would cause disease in humans. Now they needed to determine how
it would spread and the best way to disperse it. They tested dispersal
methods for Brucella suis and Brucella melitensis at Dugway Proving
Ground, Utah, in June and September 1952. Probably, 100% of us
now are infected with Brucella suis and Brucella melitensis.8
Another government document recommended the genesis
of open-air vulnerability tests and covert research and development
programs to be conducted by the Army and supported by the Central
Intelligence Agency.
At that time, the Government of Canada was asked
by the US Government to cooperate in testing weaponised Brucella,
and Canada cooperated fully with the United States. The US Government
wanted to determine whether mosquitoes would carry the disease
and also if the air would carry it. A government report stated
that "open-air testing of infectious biological agents is
considered essential to an ultimate understanding of biological
warfare potentialities because of the many unknown factors affecting
the degradation of micro-organisms in the atmosphere".9
Testing via Mosquito Vector in Punta
Gorda, Florida
A report from The New England Journal of Medicine
reveals that one of the first outbreaks of chronic fatigue syndrome
was in Punta Gorda, Florida, back in 1957.10 It was a strange coincidence
that a week before these people came down with chronic fatigue
syndrome, there was a huge influx of mosquitoes.
The National Institutes of Health claimed that
the mosquitoes came from a forest fire 30 miles away. The truth
is that those mosquitoes were infected in Canada by Dr Guilford
B. Reed at Queen's University. They were bred in Belleville, Ontario,
and taken down to Punta Gorda and released there.
Within a week, the first five cases ever of chronic
fatigue syndrome were reported to the local clinic in Punta Gorda.
The cases kept coming until finally 450 people were ill with the
disease.
Testing via Mosquito Vector in Ontario
The Government of Canada had established the
Dominion Parasite Laboratory in Belleville, Ontario, where it raised
100 million mosquitoes a month. These were shipped to Queen's University
and certain other facilities to be infected with this crystalline
disease agent. The mosquitoes were then let loose in certain communities
in the middle of the night, so that the researchers could determine
how many people would become ill with chronic fatigue syndrome
or fibromyalgia, which was the first disease to show.
One of the communities they tested it on was
the St Lawrence Seaway valley, all the way from Kingston to Cornwall,
in 1984. They let out hundreds of millions of infected mosquitoes.
Over 700 people in the next four or five weeks developed myalgic
encephalomyelitis, or chronic fatigue syndrome.
Covert Testing of Other Disease Agents
Mad Cow Disease/Kuru/CJD in the Fore
Tribe
Before and during World War II, at the infamous
Camp 731 in Manchuria, the Japanese military contaminated prisoners
of war with certain disease agents.
They also established a research camp in New
Guinea in 1942. There they experimented upon the Fore Indian tribe
and inoculated them with a minced-up version of the brains of diseased
sheep containing the visna virus which causes "mad cow disease" or
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
About five or six years later, after the Japanese
had been driven out, the poor people of the Fore tribe developed
what they called kuru, which was their word for "wasting",
and they began to shake, lose their appetites and die. The autopsies
revealed that their brains had literally turned to mush. They had
contracted "mad cow disease" from the Japanese experiments.
When World War II ended, Dr Ishii Shiro--the
medical doctor who was commissioned as a General in the Japanese
Army so he could take command of Japan's biological warfare development,
testing and deployment--was captured. He was given the choice of
a job with the United States Army or execution as a war criminal.
Not surprisingly, Dr Ishii Shiro chose to work with the US military
to demonstrate how the Japanese had created mad cow disease in
the Fore Indian tribe.
In 1957, when the disease was beginning to blossom
in full among the Fore people, Dr Carleton Gajdusek of the US National
Institutes of Health headed to New Guinea to determine how the
minced-up brains of the visna-infected sheep affected them. He
spent a couple of years there, studying the Fore people, and wrote
an extensive report. He won the Nobel Prize for "discovering" kuru
disease in the Fore tribe.
Testing Carcinogens over Winnipeg, Manitoba
In 1953, the US Government asked the Canadian
Government if it could test a chemical over the city of Winnipeg.
It was a big city with 500,000 people, miles from anywhere. The
American military sprayed this carcinogenic chemical in a 1,000%-attenuated
form, which they said would be so watered down that nobody would
get very sick; however, if people came to clinics with a sniffle,
a sore throat or ringing in their ears, the researchers would be
able to determine what percentage would have developed cancer if
the chemical had been used at full strength.
We located evidence that the Americans had indeed
tested this carcinogenic chemical--zinc cadmium sulphide--over
Winnipeg in 1953. We wrote to the Government of Canada, explaining
that we had solid evidence of the spraying and asking that we be
informed as to how high up in the government the request for permission
to spray had gone. We did not receive a reply.
Shortly after, the Pentagon held a press conference
on May 14, 1997, where they admitted what they had done. Robert
Russo, writing for the Toronto Star11 from Washington, DC, reported
the Pentagon's admission that in 1953 it had obtained permission
from the Canadian Government to fly over the city of Winnipeg and
spray out this chemical--which sifted down on kids going to school,
housewives hanging out their laundry and people going to work.
US Army planes and trucks released the chemical 36 times between
July and August 1953. The Pentagon got its statistics, which indicated
that if the chemical released had been full strength, approximately
a third of the population of Winnipeg would have developed cancers
over the next five years.
One professor, Dr Hugh Fudenberg, MD, twice nominated
for the Nobel Prize, wrote a magazine article stating that the
Pentagon came clean on this because two researchers in Sudbury,
Ontario--Don Scott and his son, Bill Scott--had been revealing
this to the public. However, the legwork was done by other researchers!
The US Army actually conducted a series of simulated
germ warfare tests over Winnipeg. The Pentagon lied about the tests
to the mayor, saying that they were testing a chemical fog over
the city, which would protect Winnipeg in the event of a nuclear
attack.
A report commissioned by US Congress, chaired
by Dr Rogene Henderson, lists 32 American towns and cities used
as test sites as well.
Brucella Mycoplasma and Disease
AIDS
The AIDS pathogen was created out of a Brucella
bacterium mutated with a visna virus; then the toxin was removed
as a DNA particle called a mycoplasma. They used the same mycoplasma
to develop disabling diseases like MS, Crohn's colitis, Lyme disease,
etc.
In the previously mentioned US congressional
document of a meeting held on June 9, 1969,12 the Pentagon delivered
a report to Congress about biological weapons. The Pentagon stated: "We
are continuing to develop disabling weapons." Dr MacArthur,
who was in charge of the research, said: "We are developing
a new lethal weapon, a synthetic biological agent that does not
naturally exist, and for which no natural immunity could have been
acquired."
Think about it. If you have a deficiency of acquired
immunity, you have an acquired immunity deficiency. Plain as that.
AIDS.
In laboratories throughout the United States
and in a certain number in Canada including at the University of
Alberta, the US Government provided the leadership for the development
of AIDS for the purpose of population control. After the scientists
had perfected it, the government sent medical teams from the Centers
for Disease Control--under the direction of Dr Donald A. Henderson,
their investigator into the 1957 chronic fatigue epidemic in Punta
Gorda--during 1969 to 1971 to Africa and some countries such as
India, Nepal and Pakistan where they thought the population was
becoming too large.13 They gave them all a free vaccination against
smallpox; but five years after receiving this vaccination, 60%
of those inoculated were suffering from AIDS. They tried to blame
it on a monkey, which is nonsense.
A professor at the University of Arkansas made
the claim that while studying the tissues of a dead chimpanzee
she found traces of HIV. The chimpanzee that she had tested was
born in the United States 23 years earlier. It had lived its entire
life in a US military laboratory where it was used as an experimental
animal in the development of these diseases. When it died, its
body was shipped to a storage place where it was deep-frozen and
stored in case they wanted to analyse it later. Then they decided
that they didn't have enough space for it, so they said, "Anybody
want this dead chimpanzee?" and this researcher from Arkansas
said: "Yes. Send it down to the University of Arkansas. We
are happy to get anything that we can get." They shipped it
down and she found HIV in it. That virus was acquired by that chimpanzee
in the laboratories where it was tested.14
Chronic fatigue syndrome is more accurately called
myalgic encephalomyelitis. The chronic fatigue syndrome nomenclature
was given by the US National Institutes of Health because it wanted
to downgrade and belittle the disease.
An MRI scan of the brain of a teenage girl with
chronic fatigue syndrome displayed a great many scars or punctate
lesions in the left frontal lobe area where portions of the brain
had literally dissolved and been replaced by scar tissue. This
caused cognitive impairment, memory impairment, etc. And what was
the cause of the scarring? The mycoplasma. So there is very concrete
physical evidence of these tragic diseases, even though doctors
continue to say they don't know where it comes from or what they
can do about it.
Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic
encephalo-myelitis and fibromyalgia who apply to the Canada Pensions
Plan Review Tribunal will be turned down because they cannot prove
that they are ill. During 1999 I conducted several appeals to Canada
Pensions and the Workers Compensation Board (WCB, now the Workplace
Safety and Insurance Board) on behalf of people who have been turned
down. I provided documented evidence of these illnesses, and these
people were all granted their pensions on the basis of the evidence
that I provided.
In March 1999, for example, I appealed to the
WCB on behalf of a lady with fibromyalgia who had been denied her
pension back in 1993. The vice-chairman of the board came to Sudbury
to hear the appeal, and I showed him a number of documents which
proved that this lady was physically ill with fibromyalgia. It
was a disease that caused physical damage, and the disease agent
was a mycoplasma. The guy listened for three hours, and then he
said to me: "Mr Scott, how is it I have never heard of any
of this before? I said: "We brought a top authority in this
area into Sudbury to speak on this subject and not a single solitary
doctor came to that presentation."
Testing for Mycoplasma in your Body
Polymerase Chain Reaction Test
Information is not generally available about
this agent because, first of all, the mycoplasma is such a minutely
small disease agent. A hundred years ago, certain medical theoreticians
conceived that there must be a form of disease agent smaller than
bacteria and viruses. This pathogenic organism, the mycoplasma,
is so minute that normal blood and tissue tests will not reveal
its presence as the source of the disease.
Your doctor may diagnose you with Alzheimer's
disease, and he will say: "Golly, we don't know where Alzheimer's
comes from. All we know is that your brain begins to deteriorate,
cells rupture, the myelin sheath around the nerves dissolves, and
so on." Or if you have chronic fatigue syndrome, the doctor
will not be able to find any cause for your illness with ordinary
blood and tissue tests.
This mycoplasma couldn't be detected until about
30 years ago when the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was
developed, in which a sample of your blood is examined and damaged
particles are removed and subjected to a polymerase chain reaction.
This causes the DNA in the particles to break down. The particles
are then placed in a nutrient, which causes the DNA to grow back
into its original form. If enough of the substance is produced,
the form can be recognised, so it can be determined whether Brucella
or another kind of agent is behind that particular mycoplasma.
Blood Test
If you or anybody in your family has myalgic
encephalomyelitis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's,
you can send a blood sample to Dr Les Simpson in New Zealand for
testing.
If you are ill with these diseases, your red
blood cells will not be normal doughnut-shaped blood cells capable
of being compressed and squeezed through the capillaries, but will
swell up like cherry-filled doughnuts which cannot be compressed.
The blood cells become enlarged and distended because the only
way the mycoplasma can exist is by uptaking pre-formed sterols
from the host cell. One of the best sources of pre-formed sterols
is cholesterol, and cholesterol is what gives your blood cells
flexibility. If the cholesterol is taken out by the mycoplasma,
the red blood cell swells up and doesn't go through, and the person
begins to feel all the aches and pains and all the damage it causes
to the brain, the heart, the stomach, the feet and the whole body
because blood and oxygen are cut off.
And that is why people with fibromyalgia and
chronic fatigue syndrome have such a terrible time. When the blood
is cut off from the brain, punctate lesions appear because those
parts of the brain die. The mycoplasma will get into portions of
the heart muscle, especially the left ventricle, and those cells
will die. Certain people have cells in the lateral ventricles of
the brain that have a genetic predisposition to admit the mycoplasma,
and this causes the lateral ventricles to deteriorate and die.
This leads to multiple sclerosis, which will progress until these
people are totally disabled; frequently, they die prematurely.
The mycoplasma will get into the lower bowel, parts of which will
die, thus causing colitis. All of these diseases are caused by
the degenerating properties of the mycoplasma.
In early 2000, a gentleman in Sudbury phoned
me and told me he had fibromyalgia. He applied for a pension and
was turned down because his doctor said it was all in his head
and there was no external evidence. I gave him the proper form
and a vial, and he sent his blood to Dr Simpson to be tested. He
did this with his family doctor's approval, and the results from
Dr Simpson showed that only 4% of his red blood cells were functioning
normally and carrying the appropriate amount of oxygen to his poor
body, whereas 83% were distended, enlarged and hardened, and wouldn't
go through the capillaries without an awful lot of pressure and
trouble. This is the physical evidence of the damage that is done.
ECG Test
You can also ask your doctor to give you a 24-hour
Holter ECG. You know, of course, that an electrocardiogram is a
measure of your heartbeat and shows what is going on in the right
ventricle, the left ventricle and so on. Tests show that 100% of
patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia have an
irregular heartbeat. At various periods during the 24 hours, the
heart, instead of working happily away going "bump-BUMP, bump-BUMP",
every now and again goes "buhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuhbuh".
The T-wave (the waves are called P, Q, R, S and T) is normally
a peak, and then the wave levels off and starts with the P-wave
again. In chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia patients, the T-wave
flattens off, or actually inverts. That means the blood in the
left ventricle is not being squeezed up through the aorta and around
through the body.
My client from Sudbury had this test done and,
lo and behold, the results stated: "The shape of T and S-T
suggests left ventricle strain pattern, although voltage and so
on is normal." The doctor had no clue as to why the T-wave
was not working properly. I analysed the report of this patient
who had been turned down by Canada Pensions and sent it back to
them. They wrote back, saying: "It looks like we may have
made a mistake. We are going to give you a hearing and you can
explain this to us in more detail."
So it is not all in your imagination. There is
actual physical damage to the heart. The left ventricle muscles
do show scarring. That is why many people are diagnosed with a
heart condition when they first develop fibromyalgia, but it's
only one of several problems because the mycoplasma can do all
kinds of damage.
Blood Volume Test
You can also ask your doctor for a blood volume
test. Every human being requires a certain amount of blood per
pound of body weight, and it has been observed that people with
fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis and
other illnesses do not have the normal blood volume their body
needs to function properly. Doctors aren't normally aware of this.
This test measures the amount of blood in the
human body by taking out 5 cc, putting a tracer in it and then
putting it back into the body. One hour later, take out 5 cc again
and look for the tracer. The thicker the blood and the lower the
blood volume, the more tracer you will find.
The analysis of one of my clients stated: "This
patient was referred for red cell mass study. The red cell volume
is 16.9 ml per kg of body weight. The normal range is 25 to 35
ml per kg. This guy has 36% less blood in his body than the body
needs to function." And the doctor hadn't even known the test
existed.
If you lost 36% of your blood in an accident,
do you think your doctor would tell you that you are alright and
should just take up line dancing and get over it? They would rush
you to the nearest hospital and start transfusing you with blood.
These tragic people with these awful diseases are functioning with
anywhere from 7% to 50% less blood than their body needs to function.
Undoing the Damage
The body undoes the damage itself. The scarring
in the brain of people with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia will
be repaired. There is cellular repair going on all the time. But
the mycoplasma has moved on to the next cell.
In the early stages of a disease, doxycycline
may reverse that disease process. It is one of the tetracycline
antibiotics, but it is not bactericidal; it is bacteriostatic--it
stops the growth of the mycoplasma. And if the mycoplasma growth
can be stopped for long enough, then the immune system takes over.
Doxycycline treatment is discussed in a paper
by mycoplasma expert Professor Garth Nicholson, PhD, of the Institute
for Molecular Medicine.15 Dr Nicholson is involved in a US$8-million
mycoplasma research program funded by the US military and headed
by Dr Charles Engel of the NIH. The program is studying Gulf War
veterans, 450 of them, because there is evidence to suggest that
Gulf War syndrome is another illness (or set of illnesses) caused
by mycoplasma.
