This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Here's a list I compiled of many relevant links on Chlamydia pneumoniae:


** Information on Chlamydia pneumoniae in general **
http://herkules.oulu.fi/isbn9514269853/html/x467.html

** Information on Chlamydia pneumoniae and its relationship to human diseases in general **

This article includes neurological diseases and includes the statement, currently ignored by most neurologists, that “chlamydial infections should be included in the differential diagnosis of neurological syndromes.”
http://www.fmtlc.com/images/chronic_dis.pdf

A story from a TN newspaper about a patient at Vanderbilt who had severe MS and had it successfully treated through antibiotic treatment. They found Chlamydia pneumoniae in his spinal fluid:
http://www.tennessean.com/sii/99/04/24/ms24.shtml

Another newspaper article on the treatment of MS with antibiotics:
http://weeklywire.com/ww/02-14-00/nash_cover.html

A very unpolished but interesting page with all kinds of information about antibiotics and MS, mostly from Vanderbilt.
http://home.earthlink.net/~robert016/ms.htm

This is a sub-page of the above address: The owner of the page tracked down many of the patients treated with antibiotics at Vanderbilt, and actually talked or e-mailed with them. Interesting information! http://home.earthlink.net/~robert016/mss.htm

** U.S. Patents **

If you go to http://www.uspto.gov/patft/index.html then you can call up the patents on treatment and diagnosis of Chlamydia pneumoniae.

The patent numbers are 6,838,552, 6,756,369 and for MS specifically, 6,710,033.

he role of CPn in multiple other diseases, including asthma, arthritis, etc: Includes a good explanation of CPn in general:
http://www.asthmastory.com/cp.asp

On treating those with asthma for CPn infection:
http://www.asthmastory.com/faq.asp

As well as http://erj.ersjournals.com/cgi/content/ ... t/15/2/254

For men only (Prostatits): http://www.prostatitis.org/a212000.html

For women mostly (Interstitial cystitis): http://www.hisandherhealth.com/aua2001/ ... ntial.html

Cardiovascular Disease (includes an explanation of how CPn can disseminate throughout the body- good stuff): http://www.theheartattackgerm.com/what%20is.htm

And here’s an article on the “usual” view of Chlamydia pneumoniae as a respiratory pathogen: http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic341.htm

There are some good links here, Daunted, well arranged and informative. Read through everything and it shows how CPn is so much more than merely a difficult to eradicate respiratory pathogen.

It occurred to me that it might be worthwhile you copying and pasting it into the 'Antibiotics' forum. What do you think?

Done- that's where I should have put it to begin with!
