Lon enzyme has involvement in virulence, morphology, and is stimulated by casein...gluten too?

This hypothesis was disproven. T.gondii and strep are not dimorphic. See newer gluten posts.

LON is the enzyme I am attempting to associate with gluten and casein for the dimorphic switching of infections...causing our immune systems to develop sensitivity to them.

T.gondii and proteases and virulence ? (it might not be t.gondii but mycobacteria with this form of  schizophrenia )
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22202120

not sure how this fits:  HU is involved with t.gondii virulence ( mutated in e.coli HU causes filamentation)
http://ec.asm.org/content/11/7/905.full
lon protease degrades HU...so would this explain gluten/casein and t.gondii?

or there is more than one type of schizophrenia which is the most logical conclusion given that Tuberculosis has a risk of schizophrenia

parkinson's, olfactory dysfunction, and mycobacterias of the sinus? or h. pylori!

Trying to determine which, if any, mycobacterias are the culprits for Parkinson's disease and how this fits with the cross-targeting.

Tuberculous has been connected to parkinson's through a protein called Parkin
http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-09-tuberculosis-parkinson-disease-linked-unique.html
to dispose of mitochondria....parkin is involved.  Parkin disposes of mycobacterias too.

(note that our mitochondria maybe have in our evolutionary past evolved from something like a mycobacteria)  If we are infected with Mycobacteria could we have too much parkin in our systems which could damage us? or could parkin be something we have autoantibodes against triggering parkinson's?

Parkinson's does have autoantibodies:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21234712

How can we connect parkinson's to mycobacteria? the olfactory ?

Mycobacteria breaks the blood brain barrier: BBB allowing any  virus/ immune system cells to cross

H1n1  then causing the cross-targeting on the brain?

This could explain this recent outbreak
http://www.mumbaimirror.com/mumbai/others/2nd-wave-H1N1-stumps-docs/articleshow/16029319.cms
where the flu seemed to have a second wave of attack moving beyond the lungs and infecting the nerves, spine, and in some cases the brain...the brain may have been those with mycobactera infections? This puts the virus infecting the nerves inside and mycobacteria would infect the outside of nerves.   (cross targeting the immune system on these nerves)

Did the Micheal J. Fox parkinson's cluster in Canada have the flu or tuberculous?

Lots of possibilities here.  This page is still under construction and may change.

Here is the older post I had looking at il-6 and the bird flu

Here is the other mystery: H.pylori
Some parkinson's patients have H.pylori infections causing ulcers and reflux and when it is treated have their symptoms improve.

H.pylori and parkinson's?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24117797
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22071847

Is there a relationship between h.pylori and mycobacteria? how similar are they? do the same drugs kill them? do they coexist? i didn't think h.pylori existed outside of the digestive track.  Could this infection do the same thing?

coexist?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12613749?dopt=Abstract&otool=stanford
H.pylori can be in the sinus! (nasal polyps)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22926364
olfactory? the infection of h.pylori can alter taste and smell!
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23845559
wow...h.pylori can even raise il-6
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24453409

So Parkinson's could be caused by mycobacteria or h.pylori....cross targeting with the virus? Can H.pylori break the BBB? blood brain barrier.   if they infect the same areas the target might match...would they infect the dopamine neurons? does mycobacteria?

Heliobacteria pylori (h.pylori) used to be called Campylocateria pylori. We know that Campylobacteria Jejuni infects the peripheral nerves which could trigger Guillianbarre syndrome.  Realizing that h.pylori is a relative of  C. jejuni...it is extremely likely that it could infect neurons.

So we have a puzzle: mycobacterias have the ability to cross the BBB.  H.pylori does not.  which one is the culprit or are they both?

susac syndrome and cross-targeting autoimmunity

Cross-targeting:  the layering of 2 different infections on one target causing autoimmune disease.  A viral infection marking the inside. A larger infection marking the outside. In this case the target would be the small blood vessels.

 Autoimmune Triad: encephalopathy, hearing loss and microangiopathy of the retina (can be mixed up with MS)....autoimmune attack of the endothelial cells at the smallest blood vessels of the brain ?

antibodies and endothelial in susac's

the same antibodies are in lupus and sjogren's

anti-phospholipids lupus or sjogren's overlap?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15462492

could sjogren's tinnitus, itchy ear overlap with the hearing loss of Susac?  I have candida possibly linked to sjogren's which would grow on the blood vessel walls.  Do fungal infections cause itchy ears?
