A pathogen is any agent that can cause disease. The word pathos means suffering, as we do, when full of toxic substances and foreign organisms. A pathologist studies the origin and nature of disease as well as the changes that occur in the body as a result of the disease. With the discovery of Penicillin it was thought at that time that the danger of pathogens are over. With mew starins of bacteria and viruses anti- biotics became obsolete and so-called Rife Therapy has been rediscovered mainly thanks to Dr Hulda Clark’s book: “The Cure for all diseases” in which she propagate the use of resonators to destroy pathogens as resonators are effective with no side effects.
An extraordinary variety of viruses, bacteria, and parasites stand ready to attack us and feed off our bodies' cells. The approximate sizes of pathogens can be approximated by using the following rule of thumb:
VIRUSES are the smallest of all infectious agents, averaging about 100 nanometers (100 billionths of a meter) in length. They have so few genes and proteins of their own that in order to reproduce they need to commandeer the machinery of the cells they invade.
BACTERIA vary widely in size and shape, but tend to be at least 10 times larger than viruses, or at least 1 micrometer (1 millionth of a meter) long. They are single-cell organisms that reproduce independently.
SINGLE-CELL PARASITES tend to be at least 10 times larger than bacteria, or about .01 millimeter long.
MULTI CELLULAR PARASITES are so large they can usually be seen with the naked eye. Tapeworms, for instance, can reach a length of 6 meters (20 feet).
Food and water are the most common sources of parasite transmission. Since most of us eat three times a day and drink water frequently throughout the day, our exposure to these sources is constant. Tap water has been found to be contaminated with parasitic organisms. Both plant and animal foods carry parasites, and cleaning and cooking methods often do not destroy them before ingestion. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) in the USA cites food as the catalyst behind 80 percent of the pathogenic outbreaks in the U.S.A. Most are linked to restaurants and delis where less than sanitary conditions exist - from food preparation and storage to the utensils and servers' hands.
Animals, just like humans, can become infected with parasites. Internally, contaminated water and food can spread the problem to our pets. Externally, animals become infected by parasites on their bodies, especially on their fur, because of exposure to infected animal wastes. Forgetting to wash your hands even one time after handling or cleaning up after your animal can transmit the parasite to you. Pets are a wonderful part of our lives. They provide comfort, companionship, protection, amusement, and unconditional love for their owners. Yet, pets, like humans, are often victims of serious infections that can unintentionally be passed on to their owners. In fact, there is a whole set of diseases classified as 'zoonoses' (animal-transmitted diseases) in parasitology textbooks. Animals are major carriers of parasites, and most physicians, let alone the general public, are unaware of this fact. The potential for transmission of parasitic infection from animals to humans is extremely high.
The CDC estimates that the number of parasites present in the United States alone number in the thousands. These parasites are biochemically complex creatures in their life histories, development, reproductive cycles, nutritional requirements, and disease manifestation. They are categorized according to structure, shape, function, and reproductive ability. These include microscopic organisms (protozoa); roundworms, pinworms, and hookworms (nematoda); tapeworms (cestoda); and flukes (trematoda).
PROTOZOA Making up approximately 70 percent of all parasites, protozoa are invisible to the naked eye. They are one-celled microscopic organisms, but don't let their size fool you. Certain protoans, through their intensely rapid reproductive ability, can take over the intestinal tract of their host; and from there go on to other organs and tissues. Some feed on red blood cells. Some protozoa produce cysts - closed sacs in which they may be safely transported through food and water from one person to another. In the cyst state, protozoans are safe from destruction by human digestive juices. These one-celled 'vampires' can actually destroy the tissues of their hosts. According to experts, an estimated 7 million people across the U.S. have some form of protozoa living inside of them. Common protozoa include: Endolimax nana, Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, Cryptosporidum parvum, Blastocystis hominis, Trichomonas vaginalis, Toxoplasma gondii, Cyclospora cayetanensis, Cryptosporidium muris, Pneumocystis carinii, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum, Leishmania donovani, Leishmania tropica, and Leishmania braziliensis.
NEMATODE While the protozoans are only single-celled, nematode creatures are multi cellular. The adult worms multiply by producing eggs called ova or larvae. The eggs usually become infectious in soil or in an intermediate host before humans are infected. It is interesting to note that unless the worm infection is heavy, many individuals do not show signs of disease. While it may be unpleasant to consider, it is true that the human host can coexist quite comfortably with a few worms, unless they reproduce in great numbers and create organ obstruction. Experts claim that 'some type of worm is already in the intestines of over 75 percent of the world's population'. This is a frightening statement. Common nematode include: Roundworm (Ascaris lumbricoides), Hookworm (Necator Americanus, Ancylostoma duodenal), Pinworm (Enterobius vermicularis), Roundworm (Toxocara canis, Toxocara cati), Heart worm (Dirofilaria immitis), Strongyloides (Stronglyoides stercoralis), Trichinella (Trichinella spiralis), Filaria (Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, Onchocerca volvulus, Loa loa, Mansonella streptocerca, Mansonella perstans, Mansonella ozzardi), and Anisakine larvae.
CESTODA Among the oldest known parasites, tapeworms are considered humanity's largest intestinal inhabitant. They each have a scolex (head) that attaches to the intestinal wall. As long as the head remains attached to the intestinal mucosa, a new worm can grow from it. Tapeworms do not contain digestive tracts but get their nourishment by absorbing partially digested substances from the host. They are whitish in color, flat, and ribbon-like, with a covering that is a transparent skin-like layer. Common cestoda include: Beef tapeworm (Taenia saginata), Pork tapeworm (Taenia solium), Fish tapeworm (Diphyllobothrium latum), and Dog tapeworm (Dipylidium caninum).
TREMATODE Trematode are leaf-shaped flatworms also known as flukes. They are parasitic during nearly all of their life-cycle forms. The cycle begins when larvae are released into freshwater by infected snails. The free-swimming larvae can then directly penetrate the skin of the human host or are ingested after encysting in or on various edible, vegetation, fish, or crustaceans. Common trematode include: Intestinal fluke (Fasciolopsis buski), Blood fluke (Schistosoma japonicum, Schistosoma mansoni) Schistosoma haematobium), Liver fluke (Clonorchis sinensis), Oriental lung fluke (Paragonimus westermani), and Sheep liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica).
Dangerous pathogens include:
Viruses: Herpes, Epstein-Barr and the retroviruses like HIV that affect genetic material within the cell:
drug resistant bacteria, especially TB:
Yeast, fungi and moulds that cause Candida and the Chronic Fatigue syndrome:
Protozoa causing Malaria & Bilharzia: Helminths such as roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, pinworms and flat worms known as flukes that may be complicating diseases like cancer, diabetes, infertility, psoriasis AIDS & TB.
A study by Statistics SA in 2004 has shown that in South Africa tuberculosis, influenza and pneumonia (that are caused by germs) and cerebrovascular diseases, have emerged as the leading causes of death among South Africans.
Evidence is mounting that coronary heart disease may be caused in part by inflammation that silently simmers away for years inside the blood vessels, and that chronic infection with common bacteria or viruses may play a role in causing the chronic inflammation in the first place. Among the suspected culprits: the ulcer-causing bacteria H. pylori or herpes virus, or even chronic tooth decay.
Recent medical research shows that even diseases such as heart diseases may also being caused by germs.
Baltimore scientists reported for example that they have found the first hard evidence that viral infections can cause asthma and allergies in humans, suggesting that vaccinations against the viruses could prevent these diseases.
Microbiology researchers now estimate that anywhere from one third to more than one half of chronic diseases will eventually be explained by infection with a variety of pathogens.
They point to new research that links germs to some forms of infertility, kidney disease, diabetes, stomach problems and even obsessive-compulsive disorder.
A so-called adenovirus, the same type of germ that causes the common cold, may be to blame for the excess pounds you can't seem to shed, according to Nikhil Dhurandhar of the University of Wisconsin in Madison. In a study of 154 obese people, 15 percent had evidence of infection with an adenovirus called Ad-36.
Among the pathogen-disease links now suspected or proven is Ulcers. After years of being shunned, Dr. Barry Marshall's theory that ulcers can be caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori is now accepted medical doctrine.
The common respiratory bug Chlamydia pneumoniae has been linked in new studies to arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. And still other studies have shown that regrowth of plaque in patients who have undergone surgery to open up clogged arteries may be spurred by cytomegalovirus a bug found in almost two out of three elderly Americans.
A medical research team of University of Alabama, Birmingham under the leadership of Dr. Gail Cassels, has found that mycoplasmas can live in a woman's reproductive tract, causing infertility, premature birth and spontaneous abortion.
A variety of common germs long thought to cause only mild, short-lived illnesses such as the flu play a role in causing chronic health problems ranging from allergies, asthma and arthritis to obesity, heart disease and cancer.
Long after one recovers from the microbe's initial insult, viruses, bacteria and other germs silently chew away at the body's tissues and organs, causing insidious, permanent damage, experts believe.
Microbiology researchers now estimate that anywhere from one third to more than one half of chronic diseases will eventually be explained by infection with a variety of pathogens.
They point to new research that links germs to some forms of infertility, kidney disease, diabetes, stomach problems and even obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"The link between infectious diseases and cancer is becoming increasingly clear," says Dr. Gail Cassell, from the University of Alabama.
Viruses
Viruses can affect any part of the body or body system, and can cause infections such as the common cold, flu, gastroenteritis, chicken pox or herpes. The most common type of viral infections involves the respiratory tract.
The common cold is a frequently occurring viral infection and usually includes symptoms such as sneezing, stuffy nose, sore throat and coughing. Although colds are a minor infection of the nose and throat, a cold can last from two days to two weeks. Colds are highly contagious and are spread by fluids from sneezing or coughing, which contain the infection.
Influenza, also known as the "flu", is a respiratory infection caused by viruses. The flu differs in several ways from the common cold. Symptoms of the flu include body chills, fever, headache, muscle ache and sore throat. Unlike many other viral respiratory infections, the flu can cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in many people. The flu is contracted in the same airborne manner as the common cold. For both cold and flu, the viruses are easily transmitted in highly populated areas.
The gastrointestinal system is also commonly affected by viruses with symptoms such as diarrhea and/or vomiting. Stomach viruses can be spread through contaminated food or water and can cause viral gastroenteritis, meaning inflammation of the stomach and intestines (small and large). Improper hand washing following a bowel movement or handling a diaper can spread the disease from person to person. Symptoms of gastroenteritis can include nausea with or without vomiting, diarrhea, low-grade fever and abdominal pain. Many people call gastroenteritis the "stomach flu", although this virus is not a strain of Influenza at all.
HOW CAN YOU TELL IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM AN INFECTION?
You feel tired and irritable, you may cough a lot, your joints ache and could be anemic. Your stomach is tender and full of gas, regardless of what you eat and you are either constipated or get diarrhea. Your skin may have itchy red bumps, bleeding ulcerous tender patches or hard fibrous areas that just won't go away. Your immune system is weak, you catch a lot of colds,you don't sleep well and you have an irritable bowel. Constant hunger, bloating, weight loss or weight gain with sluggishness and cravings for sweet things. Sound familiar? We like to blame stress or poverty for these conditions but the main problem is ignorance. We are simply unaware of the opportunities we give organisms such as tapeworms, liver flukes, protozoa, bacteria, viruses, fungi, molds and other microbes to invade our bodies and sap our strength. The greatest and most dangerous killer worldwide is? Not heart disease, not diabetes, not stress, cancer, arthritis or osteoporosis and not even AIDS. Believe it or not, it still remains pathogens. They are the greatest single cause of sickness and death today, especially in underdeveloped countries. "The link between infectious diseases and cancer is becoming increasingly clear," says Dr. Gail Cassell, chairman of microbiology at the University of Alabama, Birmingham. According to the World Health Report, up to 84 percent of certain cancers, notably, stomach, cervical, and liver, are attributable to a variety of pathogens.
WHAT IS A PARASITE?
A parasite is any living thing that lives in or on another living creature. Human parasites usually include viruses, fungi, bacteria, protozoa and helminth worms. They infect 99% of the people living in third world countries.
Here is a short list of some of the most dangerous and underestimated pathogens:
Chickenpox
The skin can also be infected by a viral infection such as the common wart or chicken pox. Chickenpox is an infectious disease; with most cases occurring in children under age 15, but older children and adults can also get it. It spreads very easily by human contact. Symptoms include itchy rash, fever and headache. The rash is blister-like and usually appears on the face, scalp or torso. The disease is usually mild and lasts 5 to 10 days, although adults and older children tend to get sicker from it. Chickenpox in a virus that stays in the body forever and in most cases a person who has had the virus will likely never contract it again.
Herpes
Viruses such as herpes are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This infection can infect the mouth, genitals and anus. Oral herpes causes sores around the mouth and face, while genital herpes affects the genitals, buttocks and anus. Genital herpes is known as a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and it is transmitted through sexual contact through the mouth and genitals. This virus can be spread even when sores aren’t present. Like chickenpox, this virus will remain in the body forever; however, a person with herpes may continue to deal with reoccurrences or "outbreaks" for life.
Helicobacter pylori
Among the pathogen-disease links now suspected or proven is Ulcers. After years of being shunned, Dr. Barry Marshall's theory that ulcers can be caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori is now accepted medical doctrine.
About 550,000 new cases of stomach cancer each year are attributable to Helicobacter pylori, the same bacterium that causes ulcers. Human papilloma virus, a sexually transmitted infection of the cervix, confers a very high risk of developing cervical cancer. And over eight in 10 cases of liver cancer are thought to be caused by infection with the hepatitis B or C viruses.
Adenovirus
A so-called adenovirus, the same type of germ that causes the common cold, may be to blame for the excess pounds you can't seem to shed, according to Nikhil Dhurandhar of the University of Wisconsin in Madison. In a study of 154 obese people, 15 percent had evidence of infection with an adenovirus called Ad-36.
Chlamydia pneumoniae
The common respiratory bug Chlamydia pneumoniae has been linked in new studies to arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. And still other studies have shown that regrowth of plaque in patients who have undergone surgery to open up clogged arteries may be spurred by cytomegalovirus a bug found in almost two out of three elderly Americans.
Streptococcus
In addition to streptococcal pharyngitis (strep throat), certain Streptococcus species are responsible for many cases of meningitis, bacterial pneumonia, endocarditis, erysipelas and necrotizing fasciitis (the 'flesh-eating' bacterial infections).
How can one get rid of parasites, virusses and bacteria?
Your immune system detects the virus and starts producing a chemical called “pyrogens”. This chemical will raise your body temperature, causing a fever. Because most viruses only become active (start their reproductive cycle) within a certain narrow temperature range, a fever will slow down, or even halt the virus from attacking new host cells. The virus will die down, and you’ll get better.
Antibiotics only have a limited use in the fight against viruses. They won’t kill the virus, but they will kill bacteria that – as a result from the viral attack – saw the road cleared to an attack. Sometimes viruses cause inflammatory reactions because the body reacts to the cells that are altered by the virus. In that case medication against inflammatory reactions work to help you feel better.
Injections with a small quantity of the virus will cause the immune system to develop antibodies that will attack the virus before it gets a chance to start its destructive reproductive cycle. Immunisation is a powerful tool against viruses, and some viruses even nearly disappeared from the face of the earth trough immunisation, but because the virus can alter its genetics, the possibility that it stays ahead of immunisation is always lurking.
The only other sure way to destroy all virusses and unwanted bacteria in humans is to apply the science of Sympathetic resonance. Sympathetic resonance is a harmonic phenomenon wherein a formerly passive object responds to external vibrations. The tool that one use to create electro magnetic resonant waves at specific frequency so that only that specific virus or bacteria can be destroyed has been invented by Dr. Royal Rife and is the called resonant frequency generators or more commonly known as “Rife” resonators (See www.riferesonator.com).
