Understanding Protomyxzoa Rheumatica

    I am a patient of Dr Stephen Fry, operator of Fry Labs in Scottsdale, AZ.  The information I have is as I understood it by speaking with him directly. Much of what I believe is from assumption and is here to garner thought and opinions.  Those assumptions are based on my living with this disease, and reading what I can find.  I am not affiliated with any medical or research organization and what you read here should inspire your own discovery, but not lead you to believe that any of this is absolute knowledge.

First, a clarification.  There are several Internet sources that refer to Fry Labs' FL1953 organism as protomyxozoa (note the O that follows the X).  There is a fish parasite called myxozoa, and I assume this is the source of confusion.  Myxozoa is a metazoa while protomyxzoa is a protozoa. The differences are vast. If you want to learn about eels then don't look up snakes.  Please, Google responsibly.

Rheumatica refers to pain and swelling.

For the sake of this blog, protomyxzoa will also be labled as p-myxzoa.

The significant characteristics of protomyxzoa rheumatica:

Rather than a virus, or a bacteria which we think of when we consider illnesses, p-myxzoa is a protozoa, like an amoeba.  It's classified as an animal, sometimes said as animal-like.  It thrives in oxygen rich blood and thus enjoys surfing the circulatory system.  You can deduce from this that p-mxzoa can go everywhere.  It lives in small colonies surrounded by a biofilm.  A biofilm is a protective layer p-myxzoa creates from our own body's fats and minerals.  Our immune systems and antibiotics have a very difficult time penetrating the biofilm and thus p-myxzoa is very hard to kill.

P-myxzoa is a strong survivor with the ability to retreat into red blood cells and bone marrow where it hides from attacking autoimmune cells.  As such it is mentioned as incurable.  It is my belief from my own experience that this method of evasion can allow the host to feel completely healthy, perhaps for years, until p-myxzoa decides to emerge again.

I somehow got the notion it has a life cycle of about four weeks— lengthy for a microorganism.  As it divides it becomes vulnerable.

It is capable of anchoring its protected colonies within blood vessels, perhaps at the mouth of smaller veins.  The adverse effect of this is a reduction of oxygen to minor system areas due to blockage, and as I believe, also creates a competition for oxygen between the organism and body systems.  It might further result in an increase in carbon dioxide levels; any animal that uses oxygen emits CO2.  The body's reaction to increased CO2 is to constrict veins to reduce oxygen usage so CO2 levels will drop, further limiting oxygen to body systems.  I believe it is this mechanism that causes all day tired fatigue, as well as an inherent restlessness.

Colonies are intended to grow.  For this I assume there is a possibility of completely blocking a vein, cutting off oxygen to that body system but also to a good portion of the colony.  When an organism is threatened it changes its operandi in favor of survival.  An oxygen starved colony will break up due either to desperate flight of living organisms, or the rejection of dead organisms.  This of course would restore blood flow to the endangered system.  I believe this might be significant to a condition called transient ischemic attack or TIA, which appears as mini strokes. The condition is alleviated once the colony disperses.

Dr Fry has publicly stated that many of his patients with such diseases as Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Autism, Attention Deficit, and more have tested positive for p-myxzoa, and he considers that my own ceiliac disease and hypothyroidism are also a direct result of the p-mxzoa infection.

P-myxzoa lives harmoniously with other protozoan organisms, as indicated by my positive tests for both protomxzoa and toxoplasma (gandii), but it is aggressive against bacteria and viruses.  While my classmates were sick for days, I always got over cold and flu in a matter of hours...sick in the morning and playing happily in the afternoon.  I suppose I can't blame my mother for thinking I just wanted to get out of school.  To my recollection I have never had symptoms of a virus attack for an entire day.

Any organism must consume nourishment to sustain life.  As yet, I am uncertain to the specific diet of p-myxzoa but it stands to reason that it would eat organic matter within body systems.  I am certain p-myxzoa travels freely throughout the body, and as evident from my symptoms over the past ten years, it can even breach the blood-brain barrier, the body's natural firewall against inflammation of critical brain systems.  This leads me to wonder if p-myxzoa is capable of consuming body tissue.  Should it be, the list of illnesses it can cause is understandable, particularly with consideration to demyelinating diseases such as MS, Lupus, PLS and ALS.

A colony could interfere with nerve impulses in a number of ways including constriction and consumption.  While this train of thought points more toward symptoms, which will be examined in a future entry, it is imperative to understand that a consuming, growing parasite that is without bounds can present an unending list of symptoms. It is another of my beliefs that favored vacation spots for p-myxzo is within  preexisting and degenerative damage such as spinal compressions and fractures, making the effects of a minor condition more severe.

In breif:

• Protomyxzoa rheumatica is a protozoan parasite sometimes referred to as FL1953.  
• Its existence is ancient, still it is largely unknown due to it's discovery being within the last twenty years.  
• Although its DNA has now been mapped the CDC does not yet recognize it as a disease.
• Information is not readily available pending establishment of patents and credits.
• Detection is proprietary and 99% of doctors will have no clue to it's existence or where to go for testing.  (Fry Labs, Scottsdale, AZ)
• Its symptoms are most often diagnosed as other illnesses.  
• It is believed by some researchers that it will eventually prove to be one of the most common infections.  
• It is a vector born parasite, meaning it can be passed by animal or insect, usually through direct contact with blood— most commonly, ticks and mosquitoes..
• Being a blood hosted organism, it is reasonable to assume that until it is widely known and tests are licensed that transfusion will be a source of infection.
• It may be dormant for years, making point of infection difficult to determine. 
• It is difficult to treat and nearly impossible to eradicate. 
• Treatment will take months or years to show results at which time it will be reduced but remain life long.

While all this seems overwhelming and horrifying, I believe in general, the body's natural defense system will not permit p-myxzoa to establish itself in most people.  Proof of this is, while p-myxzoa is ancient, largely unknown, and easily transmittable, people continue to test negative for it. P-myxzoa is likely a co-infection depending on an already compromised immune system to flourish.  My research into this parasite has suggested that those that have tested positive are usually also positive for other illnesses.

The ideas of 'incurable' and 'life long treatment' are daunting.  But after getting p-myxzoa under control and symptoms subside, keeping it under control is a simple matter of an oral antibiotic once a week.  Incurable means 'as yet incurable' and while it is a resourceful little bug, as we get stronger it gets weaker and in the chance that your body can kill those last few stragglers before they go underground, cured is a possibility even now.

The Enemy

   Call them bartonella, borrelia, protomyxzoa rhuematica or what have you— they are all enemy invaders.  A simple walk in the woods, a picnic by a lake, or a tear in a window screen could set you up for a lifetime of pain and sickness.

Commonly, vector illnesses are transmitted by mosquitoes and ticks.   They excrete a lubrication to ease penetration and increase blood flow.  It's possible that this natural adaptation can transmit microorganisms but ordinarily we inject ourselves when we slap that little sucker.  Burning a tick off with a match or cigarette is a good way to have their last few meals regurgitated into your bloodstream.  To remove a tick use tweezers to grasp it as near your skin as possible and gently pull it away. Ideally you'll want to remove the tick whole, without leaving tick bits in the bite.

Mosquitoes should be shooed away.  If you have a sense of vengeance then slap that SOB in mid air, but not during the bite.  Wash the area with disinfectant quickly after any bite.

This blog is going to detail my life of illness.  I doubt you care much about me so we both know you are reading this in hopes of reveling causes of your own discomforts— or someone you know.  That's fine.  It's my primary goal to pass on what I've learned/believe.  While there is no sure way to know, I think I have been infected since I was a kid; more than forty-five years.  I know the symptoms, and I can recall them all the way back to grade school years.  I didn't know what was wrong until testing positive for protomyxzoa and toxoplasma gondii in summer of 2011.  My education started then.

Our bodies are designed to fight these invaders.  If you have a strong immune system your symptoms might come and go.  But these microbes are masters of evasion and often hide from both the immune system and antibiotics.  Without extensive and continued effective treatment you can expect a recurrence.  How long of a treatment?  Perhaps years.

I need to express, no one should self-diagnose, especially from this blog or any source on the Internet.  Be smart.  The best way to health is understanding what might be, and intelligently eliminating possibilities.

Realize health care givers are limited.  No one has all the answers.  The day after graduation, they forget 60% of what they were taught . Your best chance is to listen to them and then make competent suggestions.  If I might give a couple examples...

1) When my son was little he suffered severe eye welting and other allergy symptoms.  When he was taken to see an allergist, the doctor avoided several possibilities, stating he didn't think they were the case.  In time my wife insisted he perform a wider range of testing.  Ultimately, my son was allergic to almost every grass and tree in Virgina— where we lived at the time.  Also he had allergies for soy, corn, peanuts and citrus.  None of these had been among the doctor's suggestions.  The doctors experience wouldn't allow him to make those connections.  After the results he admitted he never would have thought any of them.

2) I have gone through seven wrong diagnoses and failed treatments to match.  A dozen doctors claimed psychosomatic causes.  Apparently they were not aware that in the past two decades there have been more than forty new microorganisms discovered.  How could they possibly understand symptoms for those?

I've had doctors who were certain I had an autoimmune disorder, one stating it was likely a compound issue but he didn't want to look for them.  Another top neurologist simply said she couldn't help me.  I appreciated her honesty, but she charged me all the same.

When a doctor is wrong it robs you of any possible chance of recovery.

When a doctor insists you are suffering with a somatoform disorder it's worse than a wrong diagnosis, it effects you emotionally.  Before you get upset you need to ask them for proof.  There will be none.  It is a diagnosis of convenience.  The lack of proof of anything else is all the proof they have.  Once a doctor says psycho anything...find another doctor because that one will never examine you seriously again.

The thing for you to do is stay educated.  Keep an open mind.  You aren't diagnosed until your treatment is working.  Your doctor isn't going to be able to cover all the bases.  Tests are not all conclusive, especially a negative.  I've read an ELISA test for Lyme disease has as much as a 90% failure rate.  Understand, they do not test for microorganisms.  They have to test for specific antibodies or proteins, not only, but they have to test while the immune system is active.  If you're illness is autoimmune suppressive, the pertinent test will likely be negative.  That is why there are so many clinical diagnoses.  The tests can be unreliable.  Look up Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD).  Even if you don't have Lyme disease these doctors understand microbe inflammations and your chances for a fast recovery might just double.

When you are sick you know it.  Your best chance is to list your most severe symptoms and afterwards answer your doctors questions honestly and briefly.  Think of yourself as a researcher and you are on the clock.  Only being educated will lead you to a proper diagnosis when one of these bugs takes up residence in your body.

Best of luck to you.
