Med Hypotheses:Spirochetal cyst forms in neurodegenerative disorders

[Guest guest]

:

Do you know anything about AB Macdonald from this pathology lab?

And what " endowments " is (s)he talking about- having image data

removed? Hmmmm what's up?

Spirochetal cyst forms in neurodegenerative disorders,...hiding in

plain sight.

Here is proposed a hypothesis that a completely unsuspected biology

exists for pathogenic spirochetes, namely that the cystic spirochetal

forms (long thought to be static and resting or just a dormant

cohort) actually are capable of killing mammalian host cells. At

least two " lethal " scenarios are proposed; first, the host cell

destruction from the " inside out " by small caliber cystic forms

invading the host cell cytoplasm, and second host cell destruction by

engulfment of entire host cells by large caliber cystic spirochetal

forms. Conventional thinking about spirochetal cyst forms is divided

between two polar spheres of influence; one a majority community that

completely denies the existence of spirochetal cyst forms, and a

second group of academically persecuted individuals who accepts the

precepts of such antebellum scientists as Schaudinn, Hoffman, Dutton,

Levaditi, Balfour, Fantham, Noguchi, McDonough, Hindle, Steiner,

Ingraham, Coutts, Hampp, Warthin, Ovcinnikov, and Delamater.

Microscopic images of cystic spirochetes are difficult to ignore, but

as has been the case in this century, academic " endowments " have

nearly expunged all cystic spirochetal image data from the current

textbook versions of what is the truth about the spirochetaceae. If

the image database from the last century is obliterated; many

opportunities to diagnose will be lost. Variously sized cystic

spirochetal profiles within diseased nerve cells explain the

following structures: Lewy body of Parkinson's disease, Pick body,

ALS spherical body, Alzheimer plaque. Borrelia infection is therefore

a unifying concept to explain diverse neurodegenerative diseases,

based not entirely on a corkscrew shaped profile in diseased tissue,

but based on small, medium and large caliber rounded cystic profiles

derived from pathogenic spirochetes which are... " hiding in plain
