Burden of infection and insulin resistance in healthy middle aged men This paper finds inflammation and infection related to blood glucose
Cpn in "wet" macular degeneration This article in the lay press details new findings that CPn is responsible for the inflammation seen in AMD. The abstract of the actual research is HERE

Behcets may be CPn related. A disease traditionally thought to be autoimmune is found to have significant titers of CPn.

-Cpn in prostate pathology This research found CPn in prostates with pathology. It even offers the theory that patholgy from hypertrophy to cancer represents different stages of infection.

-Chlamydia Pneumoniae in Interstitial Cystitis Is IC a mystery disease or is it a bacteria? This paper outlines the results of research investigating this.

 Red- there's a huge list of Cpn association in lung cancer (by the way, apparently inhibited by Quercitin linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0006295205008130), and a relative Chlamydia psittacci in eye cancer. I think there are more as well. Your finds here show some of the possible mechanism of this. Thanks. CAP for Cpn 11/04. Dx: 25yrs CFS & FMS.

Thanks Jim,I forwared the study on to my brother's docs at Duke late last night and have already received a couple of replies this morning. Oddly enough, I may have sparked some interest with this (or they may just be tired of hearing from me and figure the best way to shut me up is humor me!). Here's what one replied though:"It is very interesting, and certainly may be pathogenic as opposed to an innocent bystander." Hello!I'll look through these other studies of Cpn and Cancer and hopefully I can send them on to the docs at Duke as well as potentially further evidence.Seriously, my brother's docs are extremely nice to even read what I send them. They do seem very open there, but they just seem to be at the "doubting thomas" stage on Cpn's involvement. Maybe I can help change this...Remember, I'd be happy if I could just get them to give Dr S or Dr W a call...

Marie, As always, thank you for this! Adding to the arsenal is always so helpful and it allows us to put the puzzle picture together a bit more clearly, too.
