Mycoplasmas, boron, and TNF alpha?

Looking at "natural remedies" the mineral boron has claims to remedy rheumatoid arthritis.  Boron deficiencies have associations similar to rheumatoid arthritis Is it possible that the "tip organelle" of mycoplasmas bind where boron does? Do mycoplasmas use boron receptors to infect ?  Is it possible that THF is meant to not only recruit neutrophils but to compete with mycoplasmas for these boron receptors?

RA and anemia

if boron binds heme could this somehow explain the anemia and photosensitivity of RA patients?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20576510

heme deficiency causes photosensitivity (there is a genetic link between genetically faulty hemes and photosensitivity )

boron and mycoplasmas (do not eat borax it is toxic)

This Borax article suggests that boron somehow acts against mycoplasmas. It is the hypothesis of this blog that mycoplasmas use the Boron receptor.  The connection to boron can be found in every area of RA.

Boron is used to produce bone (supplement is even given in osteoporosis)

Rheumatoid and parathyroid
http://ard.bmj.com/content/71/Suppl_3/654.1

Boron is used by bones, joints, parathyroid, dental enamel, the thyroid, and the pancreas

Interestingly some forms of RA seems to affect the bones as osteoarthritis, overactive parathyroid, graves disease, and diabetes

These tip organelles have a high concentration of adhesions which might function as a strong lewis acid because Boron is a strong lewis acid.  Hypothesis: the mycoplasma are strong lewis acids. (this means they can accept an electron pair)

If TNF is the cytokine of warning of internal cell infections because it is released by macrophages:

Is it possible that THF is meant to not only recruit neutrophils but to compete with mycoplasmas for these boron receptors directly? When a macrophage itself is infected and can no longer function as the immune system vacuum it releases THF which suppresses FOXp3 which increases the Tcells looking for internal infections which would be viruses or mycoplasmas.  TNF also recruits immune system macrophage like cells that do not have nucleuses like neutrophils.  (no nucleus for a virus to infect)  It is very likely that TNF would have developed a feature against mycoplasmas.

Does TNF alpha sort of fit into this too???

TNF is released by macrophages when they have succumbed to infection like mycoplasmas.  Is it possible that a second action of TNF is to compete with mycoplasma binding?  (not just to stimulate neutrophils)

Enbrel (etanercept) binds the  TNF alpha receptor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etanercept

Humira (adalimumab) binds directly to the TNF alpha molecule and then floats around with it.

(humira is an IgG molecule)

TNFalpha if it is a lewis acid like boron would float around with humira and bind up Copper explaining the side affects of Humira.

Humira causes foot drop and copper deficiency

note that macrophages can also be infected by candida (fungal infections) which is why TNF occurs in Lupus, discord lupus and sj.

This blog post is focused on the RA forms that are linked to mycoplasmas.

Considering Felty's syndrome and how this boron, THF, and mycoplasma competition could explain things.

boron: high in bone, thyroid, and.....spleen

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21255689
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10553980

Could the mycoplasma infect the spleen using boron receptors?

Neutropenia is the loss of neutrophils. THF released by infected macrophages triggers neutrophils.

Are the mycoplasmas infecting the neutrophils?

rheumatoid nodules are common in 75% of Felty patients
http://www.uptodate.com/contents/rheumatoid-nodules

Are the mycoplasmas blocking TNF receptors just like enbrel? but infecting using the boron receptors?

Nodules are made up of excessive collagen.  If nodules are caused by inflammation without TNF receptor activation what is happening? only the cytokine il-1 ?

cytokine il-1, RA nodules, and TNF
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK6288/

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/store/10.1002/art.10776/asset/10776_ftp.pdf?v=1&t=j41cc75s&s=3641ae28d7ef50302d0d55fdcc5fdafd65bc7b9f

Il-1 stimulates collagen growth in skin cells
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0167488987901698

So the same thing must be happening in the tendon when the TNF receptor is blocked and only il-1 is seen by the tendon.

Hypothesis: When nodules form it is because the TNF receptor is blocked by anti-TNF receptor drugs or mycoplasma binding and the il-1 stimulates collagen growth unchecked

 here humira caused nodules?
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/282068751_Adalimumab-induced_lupus_erythematosus_profundus_in_a_rheumatoid_arthritis_patient

does this mean that the floating complex adalimumab-THF still can bind the receptor?

Risk of heart failure is extremely high in RA patients

anti-TNF therapy seems protective against heart failure in RA patients
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14984815

So what is happening in RA???? It starts as an infection of the tendons, mycoplasmas in at least 30%,  and then a virus infects the tendon too trigger autoimmune cross-targeting.
