Where he alive today, John Langdon Down, a subset of whose children where the first documented autistic children on record, would certainly feel vindicated. Here Dr. Lawrence Broxmeyer, MD reviews the history as well as recent studies which suggest that Langdon Down was correct after all.
John Langdon Down, a subset of whose children were autistic, felt, for the most part, that an intrauterine infection was behind most of his cases. Dr. Lawrence Broxmeyer, MD gives us a historic perspective up to the present as to why.
The thought that tuberculosis and its family of mycobacteria could cause diabetes seems farfetched, but is not. The peculiar relationship and frequent association of diabetes mellitus and tuberculosis has been observed for more than 2000 years, yet the reason for this is, to this day, not known. Before the discovery of insulin, a diagnosis of diabetes was a death sentence within 5 years, and the usual cause of that death was tuberculosis.
New evidence and older historical findings that bring up the possibility that influenza originates from a viral-like bacteria is brought to light by physician Lawrence Broxmeyer.
Although Mad cow disease hasn't been in the news these days, it hasn't disappeared. Lead researcher Lawrence Broxmeyer MD, who has appeared in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, isn't satisfied with either the current theory for mad cow disease, or the dangerous wait until the death of a cow to determine whether it has it.
Almost 6 million US hospitalizations each year are due to cardiovascular disease, which has now become both the leading cause of death among women as well as the most common cause of US death in general. Yet the explanations given for the disease persistently fall short. What really lies behind it?
The word ‘cancer' is of Latin derivation and means "crab". Today cancer "cure" is a vast industry. But by the turn of the 20th Century organized medicine had come to the conclusion that it was not a matter of whether infectious disease caused cancer, but which one. For over two hundred years a cancer germ had been discovered and rediscovered, named and renamed, each scientist adding to the knowledge, but to no avail. Then, in 1910, certain American medical powers did a 180-degree rotation.
