I have a certain allergy now which I suspect was caused by a past medication (but can't be certain).

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and kill way more people than any disease and statin did not change anyting.

Studies are useless, because most scientists don't know the real cause, they just use hypothesis for all diseases, they always beat about the Bush, they never agree each other. Always blablabla.

Same same but different. To a technical person it has to be a different strain even if is being given same generic name, otherwise just does not make any sense.

I did learn eventually how much lots of antibiotics (originally for acne treatment) stuffed my gut, and changed me from a skinny person to one who gains weight easily. I now really try hard to avoid antibiotics unless absolutely necessary. So last minor gut problem did not take them and I would not be taking them for a cold any more.

Any course of antibiotics was usually followed by rapid weight gain in recent years.

I am reasonably convinced now that a very healthy diet, particularly cutting out sugars in food (possibly low dairy too), would have likely been a better treatment for acne. At age 17 it did clear up miraculously for a couple of months while overseas, which clearly caused a big change in what food and drink I was consuming.

I have never been interested to take flu shots. I am aware of friend of the family who died of "heart attack" immediately after a flu shot or vaccination for something. Maybe not coincidence. Forgot the detail now. I really believe many chronic diseases can be caused or contributed to by bad diets, chemicals, and even medications taken in the past.

I have a certain allergy now which I suspect was caused by a past medication (but can't be certain).

There are so many things that the medical field does not really know yet. The huge debate about Statins, as example, and their side effects. I try to maintain very good low carbs diet now to avoid heart disease.

Yes only take the very necessary medications, and be sure they are beneficial rather than harmful.

I don't really know if Glucosamine is really safe to kept taking, but I get a bad knee problem if I don't, from past experience. If I take it, the knee issues go away.

I did not say medicine is bad, medicine is good when it is well used. Antibiotics saved my life, I suffered from severe tuberculosis and also developed tuberculosis ulcer on my thorax when I was 12 years old, the treatment was heavy, some bacterias are more difficult than other bacterias to kill. Those bacterias are from non sexual diseases and are more contagious. For example, gonorrhea was treated with penicilin many decades ago. Today, it's impossible to treat gonorrhea with penicillin. Gonorrhea is easily cured with the right antibiotic, the treatment is not heavy. Many antibiotics don't work for gonorrhea.

Fortunately, I come from an upper class family in Brazil because public hospitals suck in Brazil. I decided to study medicine because of tuberculosis. I studied venereology and dermatopathology. I focus on infectious diseases (virus, bacteria, parasite).

Many diseases are caused by Chlamydia trachomatis infect different areas. (non-gonococcal urethritis, trachoma, lymphogranuloma venereum etc). You can contract trachoma from infected people, those bacterias live in the mouth, throat and eye or you can also contract from unclean objects (towel, bathrobe and washcloth).

For example, syphilis is caused by treponema pallidum but other diseases are also caused by treponema pallidum (yaws, bejel, pinta). You contract pinta from death animals or direct contact with infected people with present lesions on the skin (tropical disease, you contract yaws from direct contract (tropical disease), you contract endermic syphilis (Bejel) from mouth contact. You contract syphilis from sexual intercourses (vaginal and anal). CDC states syphilis can be contracted from oral sex but there is no proof because most people having oral sex also have vaginal or anal sex. Syphilis is complicated like HIV because Many scientists don't agree each other. General paresis of the insane is believed to be another non virulent diseases. General paresis can't be cured and the progression of the disease can't be stopped by penicillin either. Tubes dorsalis can't be stopped either. They say these diseases develop from 30 to 50 years later, it's inexistent today. Treponema can't be cultured (general paresis and tubes dorsalis). Many bacterial meningitis can be cured by penicillin and bacterial meningitis may also cause blindness and brain problems.

Statin is useless, people keep dying of heart disease (the first cause of death in the world). There is no proof cholosterol causes heart disease or stroke. I don't believe in bad and good cholosterol. Many doctors don't believe either.

[Syzygies]

Trachoma is also chlamydia, but the name is different because it affect a different area, trachoma is caused by the same bacteria that causes chlamydia trachomatis.

You went to a developping country, trachoma is common in developping countries. Trachoma is the infectious disease causing the most eye problems followed by river blindness. Washing your hands and face with clean water is the only way to prevent it. Children also catch trachoma, they don"t have sex.

I don't beleive in preventive measures, because it does more harm than good. If you have latent tuberculosis, better not to take antibiotics, but if you have active tuberculosis, you take antibiotics because you are less likely to develop drug resistance. Taking many antibiotics for preventive measures may cause drug resistance in the future.

"Same bacteria" sounds a bit silly. They must be different, if they infect different areas and are caught in different ways. Have to be different strains. I fear you are trying to dumb it down a bit too much, which can give the wrong impression.

However useful to learn there are different strains of Chlamydia, and that I did not catch it from finger in pussy after all, possibly. I was certainly told I had Chlamydia pink eye after lab tests (not in Thailand). Eye problem was first caught just when leaving Thailand. If was supposed to be called Trachoma, why would the eye hospital call it Chlamydia? Dumbing it down would lead to confusion? First eye specialist treated me for Conjuctivitus with Chloromycetin which was not working at all. So no test occurred at that time. Hence I always believe getting tests done is important. So can Trachoma be caught from a pussy or not? Not quite clear on that. Can it get to the eye by finger rubbing the eye? Seems the simplest way to get there.

This confusion caused me to get genital STD tests many years later when having a pink eye problem again, that was not responding to initial treatment. i.e. I was fearing a possible Chlamydia infection. If we are told you can get Chlamydia in the eye, why would we think it was a different disease to the STD and a different bacterium?

In Thailand the situation is somewhat worse. Thais go to a GP, who diagnoses something and gives them several packets of different pills. The doctor tells them little about their condition (which could even be wrong diagnosis) and does not tell them what the pills are. I at least insisted to know what medication I was proposed to take.

You have Thais catching a bad cold or maybe a flu virus and then going to the hospital for very expensive flu shots, useless I am sure if they already caught those particular flu strains. Also the price should be way lower. Why waste several thousand Baht. Thais also think medication from the doctor can cure a cold or flu virus. "Yaa Gae Wat" is the Thai expression for medicine to cure a cold. Ha ha. Personally I don't bother to see a doctor for a cold. I know he can't help me.

Trachoma is also chlamydia, but the name is different because it affect a different area, trachoma is caused by the same bacteria that causes chlamydia trachomatis.

You went to a developping country, trachoma is common in developping countries. Trachoma is the infectious disease causing the most eye problems followed by river blindness. Washing your hands and face with clean water is the only way to prevent it. Children also catch trachoma, they don"t have sex.

Most doctors don't like to sound stupid although they are stupid. They don't tell about their condition because they don't know what to say. As a specialist, I also studied the cause of the disease because it's my field. I will give you an example. Eye specialist will know your eye was infected by a bacterial disease but he won't know the cause and what kind of bacteria is the cause because his field only focus on eyes. Even neurologists or many other doctors don't know about infectious diseases. Medicine is vast. If you have a cold, better not to take a pill, I don't know why doctors keep giving inecessary pills to their patient, because it's bad for their body. Antibiotics are good when the disease is active but taking unecessary antibiotics can lead to drug resistance in the future, when you contract an active bacterial disease. If you have symptoms, go and see a doctor, without symptom, better not to see a doctor. When you see a doctor when you have symptoms, better to seek different opinions. I don't beleive in preventive measures, because it does more harm than good. If you have latent tuberculosis, better not to take antibiotics, but if you have active tuberculosis, you take antibiotics because you are less likely to develop drug resistance. Taking many antibiotics for preventive measures may cause drug resistance in the future.

You did not contract chlamydia from the girl you had sex with, Trachoma is the bacterial disease that causes more blind people worldwide, that bacteria infect the eyes easily. You can contract it without having sex. Trachoma affecting eyes is not sexual disease but it's caused by the same bacteria. Most websites are inaccurate. I have been studying infectious diseases for many years and I know what I am talking about. I have a basic knowledge of non virulent diseases (immune diseases cancer etc) but I focus more on virulent diseases. Oral area is not a good place for chlamydia.

And many don't I guess.

Since I caught Chlamydia in the eye off a finger, one time, I know how very easily it can be transmitted, so I would not discount the possibility to catch certain STDs from a BBBJ. It maybe statistically quite low, but stating that it cannot be caught, just means you don't have the proof. It is very hard to prove impossibility.

I had Chlamydia after sex with just two girls, one tested negative to Chlamydia and the other (from Grace Coffee shop) gave BBBJ only. So I have to consider the BBBJ was a possible source, even if normally improbable. I am no expert on how quickly the bacteria dies, outside the body, or from saliva. I just allow for possibilities. Maybe she just finished a BBBJ with another guy having Chlamydia a short time earlier. We do know Chlamydia is transmitted quite easily. Web sites do say STDs can be caught from BBBJ. We just know the vast majority of times, it is not that.

Bacterial diseases are complicated to understand. For example, Tuberculosis only kills you in the first years after the exposure but if it doesn't, it remains latent for life. 2 billions people have untreated tuberculosis in the world. Most of them don't die of it. Tuberculosis is one of the most difficult bacterial diseases to treat. Tuberculosis is one of the most dangerous and kill more people than any std. People can also be blind because of tuberculosis. Meningoencephalitis caused by extrapulmonary tuberculosis is the most dangerous, because you are more likely to die unlike other bacterial meningoencephalitis. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis happens in 25 per cent of people with active tuberculosis.

It's just a number, To me, chlamydia, hiv and syphilis can't be transmitted orally. Many dermatologists agree with me.

And many don't I guess.

I am 49 years old straight man that had visited Thailand 1-2 times a year for about 10 years then stopped coming for about eight years until last year when I visited two times. As many people do I have Herpes so yes I had an outbreak after my last visit so I didn't think anything about the chancre. The other symptoms I experienced after my last visit I just wrote them off as getting older and did not think anything more about it.

I visited the eye Dr for an exam because I noticed my blurry vision was getting worse. He saw that my ocular nerve was severely swollen and sent me to Ophthalmologist who in turn sent me to Neurologist because they thought I had possibly had a stroke or early signs of Multiple Sclerosis. They performed a CAT scan, MRI, lumbar puncture and multiple blood draws. Everything came back negative. I had not been forthcoming with the Dr's about my mongering activities. I consented to be tested for STI / STD's and came back positive for Syphilis. I went to two other Dr's to have second and third opinions. Each time after testing I showed positive for Syphilis.

I was given an injection of Penicillin and and told to come back for another blood test 2-3 weeks later. I still tested positive for syphilis. The Dr told me they have seen an increase recently of some strain of syphilis coming out of SE Asia that was not responding to the normal treatment protocols. It was decided to give me the 21 day continuous drip Penicillin treatment. I have since been tested and all results are negative.

I am not saying I contracted Syphilis on my last visits because I just don't know. What I am saying is I was used condom each and every time for intercourse but did do BBBJ all the years I have visited Thailand. I never performed oral on the ladies. Even though Ocular Syphilis is rare there has been a recent increase in Ocular Syphilis coming out of Asia. The Dr says even though Ocular Syphilis is normally associated with Tiertary Syphilis they have seen others who are are experiencing this occurrence shortly after exposure.

I think you could have another bacterial disease, many meningoencephalitis and some few other spirochetes diseases like syphilis can cause symptoms like stroke. I am dermatovenereoloist from Brazil and ocular syphilis also happens but more often in MSM on hiv medication or on truvada and people using chemsex, it often aftects both eyes. You were unlucky to contract a disease that made you blind in one eye. Syphilis rarely becomes tertiary but if it become, it's very fast, it often happens in people with HIV if not your immune system clears it on its own or the disease stays latent for life. If you have syphilis, the tests don't become negative very quickly after treatment and treponemal tests may stay positive for life even after treatment. Did you have RPR, VDRL, TPHA and FTA-ABS tests? It's a pity it was so long before understanding your symptoms were caused by bacterias. Because we must rule out first bacterias and virus when young people have symptoms like stroke, no matter if you are sexual active or not. Because stroke is more frequent in people over 60. Because when bacterias are suspected, antibiotics are used, no matter what bacterial disease is the cause. Intramuscular injections are directly used for precaution and can cure any bacterial disease, when bacterias are suspected to be the cause of the stroke-like symptoms. If you contracted syphilis from BBBJ , you would notice a chancre on your penis. We will never know what really caused your problem.

I feel sorry for your experience, I would like to know what kind of test did you have? How old are you? Did you notice a chancre? Bacterial meningitis can be caused by many bacterial diseases. I am sure you were misdiagnosed. Many diseases can be caused by spirochetes though treponemal tests are not accurate. You meant you contracted Syphilis last year, Tertiary syphilis can't be that fast. I don't know if you posted to scare people or if you were just misdiagnosed by an unskilled doctor. Your symptoms can be caused by many pathologies. Anyway many bacterial diseases can trigger treponemal tests and many bacterial diseases can be cured by penicilin. 21 days is too long for syphilis. So the bacteria you contracted must be more resistant than treponema pallidum. Treponema Pallidum are too weak and can't be resistant to antibiotics unlike many other bacterial diseases. I hope you get better and keep living. Your experience is not easy to live.

I guess I was one of the unlucky ones. Last year after visiting Pattaya two times I contracted Syphilis. Always used a condom for intercourse but had BBBJ multiple times. Not sure if I got it the first trip or the second trip. They were about 9 month apart. Basically the only symptom I had was a low grade fever for several months. First major signs was loss of motor function, pain in joints and blurred vision and a rash located on an area not normally associated with syphilis. Those signs did not show up until about 4 months after returning home after my second trip to Pattaya.

Treatment was 21 day continuous drip of penacilin unfortunately the damage was already done to one of my eyes I am now basically blind in one eye.

It's just a number, To me, chlamydia, hiv and syphilis can't be transmitted orally. Many dermatologists agree with me. As I said, HIV is not quoted separately because people don't want to descriminate MSM, Even syphilis is not quoted separately. Drug free straight men don't need to get tested for hiv. Act means many things, It depends. To me, per act means per intercourse. I don't agree with syphilis and hiv statistics. Anyway STDs are not dangerous unlike modern diseases (heart disease, stroke, alzheimer, cancer diabete). Herpes is often asymptomatic, immune system clear HPV within 6 months or 1 year, Chlamydia is often asymptomatic in men and can go away on its own, Immune system clear acute Hepatitis on its own before it's serious, You must be a heavy drinker or heavily medicated to develop chronic hepatitis, Syphilis is less virulent today, most untreated people don't develop tertiary syphilis, (geral paresis, gummas, syphilis cardiovascular disease and syphilis ocular are almost inexistent) if you have syphilis and diabete, you are more likely to die of diabete complications. HIV is not a concern for straight men and Gonorrhea is painful but won't kill you, gonorhea can also clear on its own. I know I don't act like most std doctors, that's why I am special, I don't like to use fear tactic because I don't care about pharmaceutical business, I just care about my business, I only want returning clients. Human immune evolved and became resitant to stds. Gonorrhea could kill you in the past, today even if you don't treat gonorrhea, it won't kill you. The most dangerous virulent diseases today are tuberculosis, influenza / pneumonia and pneumococcal pneumonia.

These numbers seem to have some strange anomalies, or perhaps someone can explain:

Quote on Chlamydia:

"Estimated per-encounter male-to-female transmission risk for unprotected intercourse was determined to be 0. 9%; with a condom it's 0. 053%. " That is a figure when not known if the girl has it or not.

So well over ten times less likely with a condom, or risk reduction by over 90%. Makes sense although I know transmission on finger is possible.

Elsewhere is says incidence is reduced by 60% by use of condom (for Chlamydia):

"Condom Effectiveness: high (reduces risk by 60%.

That is both contradictory and seemingly a rather low improvement. Accidental condom breakages are quite low. Slip off also rare. Yes he could catch from her BBBJ. Can this be part of the discrepancy.

Chlamydia having symptoms in only 2 to 4% of men? Can this be true? Seems very low and I certainly had symptoms 2 times.

I believe one time, I may well have got it from BBBJ, not so young woman (well over 25) from Grace Coffee shop, a very long time ago, e. G. 20 years ago.

With general 3 to 5% prevalence in population and 32% chance of transmission per act (with no condom), one would expect Guys to be catching it from young girls quite regularly, yet many guys doing habitual Bareback claim to have never had it. Can we put this down to having it, but no symptoms and not even knowing they have it?

It is a pity the HIV transmission rate for vaginal sex is not quoted separately for male and for the female, as I believe the rates are vastly different from what I read previously, e.g. perhaps the girl is at 10 times the risk with a HIV partner, and the guy is actually fairly low risk from HIV girl.

My Chlamydia was many years ago, due to no not washing hands or dick properly, etc. When one is not sure of the specific incident, with more than one possibility, then is hard to be sure of the fine details about washing behaviour etc. Was at least 15 years ago. However Chlamydia in one eye clearly came from finger in pussy. That is the sure one. Misdiagnosed for 2 or 3 weeks by eye specialist before I had to guess myself and demand a test plus Chlamydia treatment (easy to fix quickly if treated). Clearly washing of hands before rub the eyes is real important.

I don't know for a fact if ever had Herpes or not. I don't agree that everyone has it. High percentage in USA but I am not from there. Never tested positive to active Herpes. Long term tests had contradictory results. So maybe,maybe not. Maybe a false positive (or a false negative). My mother, father, siblings and myself never had a cold sore to my knowledge, nor any other definite indicator. Sister in law, yes have seen her cold sore. Seems to be very hard to sure one way or the other, so not too concerned about it. If no symptoms, no pain, then no worries.

I have never had any symptom either, what I mean, everybody has herpes without having symptom all their life. I don't know people are scared of herpes because we almost all have it. The stigma kill people.
