Unveiling the hidden truths of modern health

ogetherness: because health is an interconnected journey between the mind, the body, and the world we inhabit.

The communicable causes we have identified as pivotal in the pathogenesis of many severe non-communicable diseases—such as strokes, myocardial infarctions, pulmonary embolisms, and central cerebral or peripheral deep venous thromboses, as well as neurological and neurodegenerative disorders—are globally dispersed.

Diverse populations contribute uniquely to this common pathogenic mesh, depending on the prevalence of specific infectious noxae. In 2000, the landmark INTERHEART study investigated classical modifiable cardiovascular risk factors; however, communicable noxae remained beyond its scope. Consequently, a comprehensive reappraisal of parasitic co-infections as potential causal agents for these outcomes has yet to be conducted. We aim to foster such an investigation alongside international partners from diverse global regions, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the epidemiological distribution of both the noxae and the resulting diseases.

In a changing world, we are dedicated to navigating the unknown, transforming complex challenges into pathways for health. SARS-CoV-2 has presented unprecedented clinical manifestations, ranging from severe pulmonary distress and diffuse thrombosis to unexpected leukemoid reactions. Furthermore, an unparalleled upsurge in neurological diseases and progressive locomotor deficits has crossed the threshold of perception for both specialized physicians and the general public—many of whom have been personally affected or have seen relatives suffer from these conditions. 

Communities have incurred a staggering burden of disability and a lost workforce, unparalleled in modern public health.

While we initially believed we had identified the primary offender, we may have been mistaken; we certainly lacked a precise understanding of the underlying disease mechanisms beyond generic cytotoxic damage. As time has passed and our knowledge has evolved, we must face the reality that we do not yet fully understand these pathogenic pathways. We may not have realized that SARS-CoV-2 could be little more than an accomplice, while the true 'killer'—a deadlier co-pathogen—has remained hidden. This is what we intend to report, based on what we have witnessed and the evidence that has unfolded before us.

At HBVS-PanCyBliver, we are dedicated to transcending historical perspectives on cardiovascular diseases by integrating the role of 'twindemics' into a modern medical framework. Two centuries of medical discoveries have established a trajectory of data on atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis based primarily on pathological and experimental findings

However, an in vivo, pathophysiological time-lapse of atherogenesis—mapped according to specific causal noxae and acute triggers—has never been fully realized. We have observed these 'time-lapse loops' repeatedly, witnessing both the progression of disease driven by suboptimal medical habits and its stunningly rapid reversal through virtuous clinical prescriptions.

The depth of literature describing this disease is both profound and unsurpassed, yet often remains ungrasped. We found the clinical outline of neurocysticercosis particularly striking as depicted in José Saramago’s 1991 novel, The Gospel According to Jesus Christ. Even through the practical-metaphorical lens of swine pathology, also disguising human formes, Saramago’s grasp of the disease is disconcertingly exact, offering a spectacular representation of health-related aspects that suggest a direct, profound understanding of the pathology.

Clinical awareness remains insufficient regarding the transmission mechanisms and systemic pathogenicity of this noxa. Far from being a selectively targeted tissue, the central nervous system, once affected, merely signals that sufficiently high pathogen titers have entered the bloodstream to reach distal tissues.

Through the common acts of eating, drinking, and traveling, we have encountered a now 'Westernized' culprit: the ova and larvae of Taenia solium (or other Spp), and their extracellular vesicles (EV), as small as 0.1 - 0.08 µ & less, containing either genetic instructing material and protein-enzymatic forms. Depending on various influencing factors, these may or may not progress into cysticerci or the adult worm. Contrary to classical medical textbook representations, we have observed that the standard parasitic cycle has been significantly altered—and decelerated—by SARS-CoV-2 and preceding SARS-CoV pandemics.

Crucially, these viral interactions appear to have exponentially increased the rate of asexual reproduction of the cysticerci. This 'multiplication yield' is self-sustaining: we have documented that when the initial concentration of cysticerci increases by a factor of 10, their reproductive rate accelerates exponentially in both number and diameter. This suggests a symbiotic viral-parasitic synergy that redefines our understanding of zoonotic disease in the modern era.

What sets HBVS-PanCyBliver apart is our entirely unprecedented perspective. Traditional microbiological, biochemical, and pathological diagnostics have frequently proven insufficient for the timely identification of the causative 'noxa.' We have identified pathogens with immense daily replication rates—up to 500,000 copies—yet possessing microscopic, sub-detection dimensions, particularly when exacerbated by SARS-CoV-2 co-infection. This elusive nature allows a massive pathogen load to evade standard screening, causing incalculable damage to global health systems and societal productivity. We aim to illuminate these hidden burdens and redefine the diagnostic framework.

Cysticercosis is recognized as the leading cause of epilepsy worldwide. Traditional methods, such as electroencephalography (EEG), may offer some diagnostic support, but their ability to rule out cysticercosis in early or nuanced late-stage conditions is highly insufficient. A 3T head MRI provides far greater sensitivity.

However, the only reliable guide remains a comprehensive clinical reappraisal. This must encompass a detailed, multi-system clinical history, key epidemiological data, overall by systems recaps, and exhaustive physical examinations. Such a meticulous approach, centered on identifying unique and irreplaceable clinical markers, is essential for an accurate and safe diagnosis.

A truly novel, time-dependent approach to disease has been our defining discovery of the last decade.

Many human illnesses are strictly dependent on infectious contacts—whether acute or, more critically, long-standing infections and infestations. In this context, individual immune competence is often a depleted resource, a leftover no longer sufficient to withstand the rising tidal wave of aggressive pathogens, with parasitic infections representing the most significant threat.

Since we are all interconnected, it must be recogniaed that we become affected with environment, with food and with one another, so that only a shared approach—uniting us in both care and prevention—can ultimately succeed.
