H Pylori live in Yeast-an Endosymbiotic relationship
File Access
This collection of articles provides a new understanding of infection. They demonstrate that smaller bacteria such as H Pylori and Staph can live inside larger cells such as yeasts. This symbiotic relationship provides for the tenant protection, nutrition and evasion from the immune system, which is called a “stealth” infection”. In addition, when yeasts such as Candida replicate, they can transmit these bacteria to their progeny, providing a mechanism for stealth replication and persistence. This phenomenon probably occurs with other infections, such as Herpes, which is often paired with Candida, though often stealth as well. Besides protection, there must be benefits for the two organisms (if they are indeed separate). How does the Candida benefit?

Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease)
Periodontal disease or Periodontitis is inflammation of the gums. This condition can be acute, chronic, or intermittent. There are several root causes/factors including stealth infection, nutritional deficiencies, allergy, and mechanical issues as well.
Since the gums in part maintain the relationship between the tooth, socket, and periodontal ligament, dysfunction of the gums puts both the tooth and the jawbone at risk…
