AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES CAUSED BY AN INFECTION?

@Keyhole,

Sorry I never responded back to this. It’s a lot to take in but I am so grateful you took the time to lay it all out. CIRS is no joke. It’s like treating a brain injury.

I’m still working out all the supplements and formulating our diets to lower the inflammation, some days are better than others but I have no choice but to be diligent. I’ll report back with my progress.
 
However, I'm in the process of making an Excel-sheet with the various herbs and supplements, and what they do. But this will take some time to be finished. This list could perhaps, in addition of getting knowledgeable about these things (by reading these books), be useful.
Did you ever get around to completing this excel spreadsheet?
 
A little update on my son’s CIRS battle, things have improved significantly but I don’t believe we’re back to baseline quite yet. His extreme emotions have left, we are back to normal two year old tantrums. However, his word recall is still limited at times.

He was negative for strep and I cannot get his pediatrician to give me a referral to a PANS clinic for further testing for co-infections. So I am just going with my gut (and trying to heal his gut). Using mastic gum currently to eliminate any possibility of h. pylori since he has taken waaaaay too many antibiotics this year.

I think a large part of his health issues (other than antibiotic abuse) and mine have stemmed from never fully remediating the mold. We moved but we brought all of that crap with us and into another house that has it’s fair share of mold issues, not just an obvious leaky roof. It’s kind of ironic that I formerly worked in biohazard remediation and am dealing with the effects of mold now. I guess you never really see things until you’re on the outside.

Anyway, that’s my update and I wanted to share this article that may be more appropriate for the covid thread but it does pertain to CIRS. It’s full of super fascinating information about the spike proteins and her own story of vaccine shedding basically creating CIRS in her mom. She also just wrote a blog post about why she gave up her medical license in California. Including that just because it’s worth a read.



 
In addition to the above, she also told me that her whole body itches and she has difficulty breathing. I asked her if by any chance she was bitten by a bug, and apparently she assures me that about a month ago during her stay in London, she noticed an itching in her arm.
I only just noticed your post, Tristan, but have you looked into the damage caused by oxalates? Recently, Keyhole made a few videos and I think they are super helpful (itching could be a sign of damage caused by oxalates, if I understand it correctly.




And there is more where that came from. Even if there is something else going on with your friend it's always useful to recognise and get rid of plant toxins, if she is open to changing her diet.

ATM, I'm looking into it and see if it helps eliminate certain aches and pains that I have been having for a long time (off and on, which as Keyhole explained could be linked to oxalates as these symptoms can be cyclic). I hope this helps!

Added: deleted shortness of breath...

Added2: symptoms can be cyclic (instead of: are cyclic)

3.5 Million Year Old Siberian Bacteria Boosts Longevity and the Immune System

3.5 million year old Bacillus F could improve longevity of humans
Experts have unlocked its DNA and are testing it on mice and human cells
Bacteria was found in 2009 embedded in ancient permafrost in Yakutia

Man has long dreamed of a mythical potion known as the ‘elixir of life’ which grants a drinker eternal youth.
Now Russian scientists claim to be making progress in adapting a 3.5 million year old ‘eternal’ bacteria named Bacillus F to improve the longevity of humans.
They revealed that they have unlocked the DNA of this cold-immune ‘scientific sensation’ and are now seeking to understand the genes which have allowed its extraordinary survival in the Siberian permafrost.

Tests on living organisms, notably human blood cells, mice, fruit flies and crops, all show a positive impact.

Professor Sergey Petrov, chief researcher at Tyumen Scientific Centre, said: 'In all these experiments, Bacillus F stimulated the growth and also strengthened the immune system.

'The experiments on human erythrocytes and leucocytes were also very optimistic.'

The bacteria was discovered in 2009 by Dr Anatoli Brouchkov, head of the Geocryology Department of Moscow State University.

It was embedded in ancient permafrost at a site known as Mammoth Mountain in the Sakha Republic, also known as Yakutia, the largest region in Siberia.

Similar bacteria were discovered by Siberian scientist Vladimir Repin in the brain of an extinct woolly mammoth preserved by permafrost.

'We did a lot of experiments on mice and fruit flies and we saw the sustainable impact of our bacteria on their longevity and fertility,' said Dr Brouchkov. 'But we do not know yet exactly how it works.'

For now 'we cannot understand the mechanism, but we see the impact'.

Epidemiologist Dr Viktor Chernyavsky said: 'The bacteria gives out biologically active substances throughout its life, which activates the immune status of experimental animals.'

Calling it a 'scientific sensation,' he said 'mice grannies not only began to dance, but also produced offspring'.

In future, the bacteria could improve the health of humans, leading to the discovery of an 'elixir of life', he said.

Another bacteria found in the permafrost allegedly has the ability to 'destroy petroleum molecules, turning them into water with the potential one day to create a new system for cleaning up oil spills,' The Siberian Times reported.

'A third strain of ancient bacteria is capable of eliminating cellulose molecules.'

Dr Brouchkov said: 'We want to understand the mechanisms of the protection of genome, the functioning of the genes.

'The key question is what provides the vitality of this bacteria, but it is as complicated as which human genes are responsible for cancer and how to cure it. The scale and complicity of the question are nearly the same.'

He said the permafrost where the bacteria was found is estimated to be around 3.5 million years old.

'This bacteria was isolated from the outer world in ice, so we are quite sure that this bacteria was kept in the permafrost for such a long time.

'Yet we are still working to prove this.'

He claimed: 'I would say, there exist (in the world) immortal bacteria, immortal beings. They cannot die, to more precise, they can protect themselves.

'Our cells are unable to protect themselves from damage.

'These bacteria cells are able to protect themselves.

'It would be great to find the mechanisms of protection from ageing, from damage and to use them to fight with our ageing.

'It's is the main riddle of mankind and I believe we must work to solve it.

'Now we have a key, ancient bacteria, which scientists have found in an extreme and ancient environment.'

Professor Petrov said that experiments show the bacteria 'stimulates the growth of crops, increases productivity'.

Frost resistance is also significantly improved, he added.

I'm really liking Russia these days - a country that is out to promote life & health rather than send us all back into the Dark Ages:
Russia Completely Bans GMOs in Food Production

To follow up with this fellow, Anatoli Brouchkov gave an online lecture in 2021 on bacteria living in extreme environments, such as salt deposits and prehistoric permafrost, and how they seem to have very interesting genetic properties and seem to impart stress resiliency to organisms inoculated with them. I've summarized below as best I could.


What's interesting about permafrost is that temperatures aren't low enough to freeze trapped bacterial cells (-3 to -7 degrees celsius, whereas bacteria freeze at -8 degrees). So we have bacteria still metabolically active for hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of years. Bacteria were able to make a calcium chloride film around their membranes to help maintain a lower freeze point in their substrate. Examining the permafrost found mostly Actinobacteria, with a much smaller subset being gammaproteobacteria and bacilli. Electron microscopy found evidence of the cells existing as single cells instead of in colonies or biofilms, as well as the existence of viable viruses in the permafrost.

There was an interesting comment on genetic entropy as well, where DNA damage (via depurination or removal of the nitrogenous base in a nucleotide, deamination, oxidation, or hydrolysis) occurs at a rate of ten thousand to one million molecular lesions per cell per day, if it were not for DNA repair mechanisms.

The lower temperatures of the permafrost reduce the incidence of DNA damage from thermal stress, but that in itself doesn't seem to sufficiently explain some other findings. Bacillus F, Brouchkov found, was more similar to Bacillus cereus, in spite of being separated by 3.5 million years in the permafrost, then some substrains of Bacillus cereus itself, although Bacillus F has the distinction of being non-pathogenic, lacking some pathogenic and cytotoxic genes. This is interesting because of how separated over time the two DNA reference samples are; given the time frame there should be a lot more mutations and damage. This lead Brouchkov to propose that Bacillus F had some molecular mechanisms to sharply reduce DNA damage and promote homeostasis over thousands or millions of years.

One Easter egg in the lecture were some electron micrographs of bacteria-like structures found in meteorites. Not only that, but there was an increase in the number of bacteria in the meteorite impact structure (Life in the lithosphere, kinetics and the prospects of life elsewhere, Volume: 369, Issue: 1936, Pages: 516-537, DOI: (10.1098/rsta.2010.0232). This would could indicate either dispersal of bacteria from the bolide or an increase in metabolism and functionality due to electromagnetic affects enabling hyperdimensional editing of their genomes.

In an experiment to test pathogenicity mice were inoculated with various dosages and administration methods of Bacillus F and Bacillus cereus (the pathogenic, non-permafrost version). This study could not determine the LD50 (the dosage required to kill 50% of test subjects) because none of the mice injected with the Bacillus F died, no matter the dose tested. Moreover there was found to be no accumulation of the microorganism in the organs or organ systems of the mice post-mortem. This led Brouchkov to conclude it's non-pathogenic and non-virulent.

In several experiments testing the effects of Bacillus F inoculation on drosophila and mice, they found inoculation stimulated the immune system, prolonged life, allowed strong resistance to stressors like alcohol and heat, and improved survival chances when inoculated with pathogens. One interesting effect found was an increase in strength in mice, but this was negatively correlated with the amount of cells injected (5000 bacteria led to a 60% increase in strength over the control group, 10,000 led to a 30% increase, and 50,000 led to about a 5% decrease in strength).

Male human volunteers who took Bacillus F as a food supplement found increases in blood testosterone levels, with the effect being more pronounced in aged individuals.

In spite of not yet identifying the molecular mechanism by which Bacillus F works, Brouchkov concludes that mechanisms of extreme survival exist in these bacteria, possibly including binding proteins to stabilize DNA over long periods of time, or just very efficient repair mechanisms, and that whatever it is these bacteria produce, it appears that benefits to longevity, immunity, and hormones appears to spread to organisms that either consume it or have it injected.

I would be really interested in asking the C's opinion on this. I wonder if these more ancient strains somehow preserve the benefits of DNA changes from cometary bombardments more than non-extremophile strains of bacteria, or of there is some type of information they are carrying due to their high-stress environments that homeopathically activates a lot of resiliency in our own DNA?

(this is a more recent lecture in Russian which as an interesting Q&A section at the end).
 
As @whitecoast just quoted a post of mine above, I clicked on it to see when it was posted - 2015! No wonder I didn't remember it! Interestingly enough was the very next post by Gaby:
In "Why Can't I Get Better", Richard Horowitz has seen bad results when increasing the Nitric Oxide system (NO) in certain conditions. Its great effects are known, but the deleterious effects should be addressed as well:

Talk about coincidence - I've been watching a vid about Nitric Oxide and the claim it's the solution to all disease! I'm only 18 min. in of an hour+ vid:


What I found really interesting is what is being said about stomach acid - I was going to see if I could post this vid for @Mrs. Peel as I believe she has been put on a proton inhibitor. However, after seeing Gaby's post, it would seem there's a lot more regarding NO to be cautious about.

I have to say, the extreme complexity of our biological systems are beyond extraordinary and we, in a sense, have only scratched the surface in light of what the Cs have indicated.

3.5 Million Year Old Siberian Bacteria Boosts Longevity and the Immune System

They revealed that they have unlocked the DNA of this cold-immune ‘scientific sensation’ and are now seeking to understand the genes which have allowed its extraordinary survival in the Siberian permafrost.

To which @whitecoast added, so started to look at the doctors discussions.

The region the Dr. focuses on is the Yakutia, and it is a highly interesting area. The area seems to have been ice free, when much to the east (the arctic and the rest of the ice sheet going south into the U.S., was deeply thick in ice. An area where the seas along the coast were much lower, and there appears that there were scattered societies trading and caring on.

So, when the good Dr., Anatoli Brouchkov, pegs the bacteria find as being 3.5 million years old in the region, is it? If one revisits Pierre's work on Flash Frozen Mammoths, perhaps these bacteria are not as old as he posits?

Recall what Pierre wrote:


The evidence above strongly suggests that the woolly mammoth was not a polar creature but a temperate one. Consequently, at the beginning of the Younger Dryas, 13,000 years ago, Siberia was not an arctic region but a temperate one.


16-April-2016
(Pierre) One last question: about the frozen mammoths. During the last session, we suggested that the cause of the flash-frozen mammoths was a Super Derecho like a giant thunderstorm that deflected the jet stream down towards the Earth's surface, and that's what flash-froze the mammoths. You said, "Close enough." So that's not exactly what happened. What are we missing here?

A: Impact sending enormous stream of heat and matter upward, creating a vacuum, followed by induction of super cooled air.

Q: (L) Well, the problem is that the mammoths were frozen in Siberia but not in the Northern part of the Western hemisphere, currently called North America, which is where there are the signs of the impact. If the impact occurred in North America, why are the mammoths that are frozen by this shooting up and falling down of hot air followed by cold air in Siberia and not in North America?

A: It was in the entire Northern Hemisphere, but the shift of the axis and lithosphere gave each area a different outcome over time.

Q: (Pierre) That makes sense. So, they all got flash-frozen, but the hit also shifted the geographic pole and brought Siberia to higher latitudes. So, they stayed frozen there, but the flash-frozen animals in Northern America ended up in lower latitudes away from the poles, and they defrosted.

A: Yes

If Pierre's theory was correct, and he had strongly made a good case (osit), the permafrost may not have been such a factor in that particular region until it happened very fast and the region shifted. If so, Anatoli's findings may be off by < than 3.5 million years, unless his samples came from deeper and the permafrost was truly permanent there, again, at least in that part of Siberia back then (suggestions and some evidence make it sound to have been once relatively temperate). As for today, indeed the area can be super cold.

Here is a little ocular background on the region, which is diverse in landscape that includes the recently famous baydzharakhs plateaus rock formations, to the very similar looking Rockies in North America. It it was temperate, one might image a lot of life in the area for a little while until matters shifted.
