Bacteria are all around us. It even lives in our body parts like our mouth, ears, skin, intestine, etc. When bacteria are mentioned, we often associate it with diseases. But, there are also good bacteria that are necessary in making us healthy. The normal microflora of the intestine, vagina, and the skin, among others, helps in maintaining homeostasis. When these normal microflora are killed or destroyed, chances are opportunistic microorganisms will invade these body parts and cause diseases and/or infections. The original article tackles the idea of bacteria in the blood. Is this normal?
Bacteria can be found in our feces and urine, but how about in our blood? When can we consider a person to have sepsis (bacterial infection of the blood) if this is the case?
Our blood is considered sterile, meaning no live microorganisms infect it. The idea of bacteria living normally in the blood is considered a medical heresy, according to the original article.
Darkfield light microscopes are used in visualizing blood. Darkfield light microscopes uses darkfield microscopy in illuminating the blood making it brighter and the background darker in order to visualize the “contents” of the blood. The original article mentioned Tom Detwiler, a biochemist with 18 years experience, of using a darkfield light microscope in taking pictures showing round and beaded forms coming from the red blood cells which insinuates the presence of bacteria.
The article has insinuated that bacteria can cause cancer, although the idea is a medical heresy too. This idea was backed up by results of studies dating from the late 19th century that pleomorphic bacteria are linked with cancer. Numerous studies have also confirmed that bacteria can indeed be found in the blood.
Universal findings of numerous blood infections with staphylococcus-like and streptococcal-like microbes were presented in the papers published by the late Guido Tedeschi and his colleagues.
Another study, conducted by Domingue and Schlegel, also supports the idea of the existence of bacteriological system in the blood. In this study, they have cultured staphylococcal-like and filamentous cocoo-bacillary forms of bacteria from 71% of ill subjects and 7% of normal and healthy subjects.
The original article has narrated that alternative medical practitioners have widely accepted the notion that blood is normally infected by bacteria. But, the practice of making a medical diagnosis using darkfield microscopy using darkfield light microscopes is still considered a scam among medical practitioners, according to the original article.
The idea that bacteria causes cancer or that blood is normally infected by bacteria is highly controversial because of the lack of proof and sources in identifying the species or multiple species of bacteria involved. The unknown is extremely frightening to most people and they would rather not believe any idea that cannot be proven.
The article also mentions the idea that blood bacteria are connected with the origin of life. The Reich blood test measure the amount of T-bacilli found in the blood. T-bacilli, according to the original article can be found among healthy and sick people but are more abundant among sick people.
The use of darkfield light microscopes is beneficial in studying and proving or disproving these ideas. Who knows, these people might be right after all.
