 ====== Alternative models for chronic disease    ======
-The [[home:pathogenesis:evidence_bacteria|evidence supporting a bacterial cause for chronic disease]] is strong. Still, there are other competing explanations including the [[home:othertreatments:ph_balancing|acid/alkaline imbalance theory]], [[home:pathogenesis:alternate_models:autoimmunity|autoimmune disease theory]], the [[home:pathogenesis:alternate_models:genetic_predisposition|genetic predisposition theory]], the single pathogen theory, and the [[home:pathogenesis:alternate_models:spontaneous_remission|spontaneous remission theory]]. Some have argued that viral [[home:diseases:co-infections|co-infections]] are to blame for diseases of unknown etiology despite the evidence which has accumulated to the contrary.

 Chronic inflammatory diseases have existed for at least thousands of years. Manifestations of both arteriosclerosis can be observed in mummies of ancient Egypt. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ötzi_the_Iceman|Ötzi the Neolithic Iceman]] who lived around 3300 BC was found to have arthritis.

 ===== Single pathogen theory =====
-There are currently a range of diseases for which there is [[evidence_bacteria#epidemiological_evidence|epidemiological evidence]], [[home:pathogenesis:evolution|evolutionary evidence]], and [[evidence_bacteria#other_evidence|other kinds of evidence]] strongly suggesting bacterial involvement. [[home:pathogenesis:kochs_postulates|Koch's postulates]] stipulate that chronic diseases caused by infections must be caused by a single species of pathogen, yet the minority of chronic diseases have been shown to be caused by a single species of pathogen.

 Take Crohn's disease as an example. The following types and species of bacteria have been found in patients with Crohn's: L-form bacteria(({{pubmed>long:6134652}})), //Bacteroides fragilis//(({{pubmed>long:88760}})), //Chlamydia trachomatis//(({{pubmed>long:83465}})), //Listeria monocytogenes//(({{pubmed>long:7729631}})), //Mycobacterium avium//, subspecies paratuberculosis(({{pubmed>long:12843021}})), //Mycobacterium kansasii//(({{pubmed>long:80630}})), and //Pseudomonas maltophilia//(({{pubmed>long:780185}})). Yet none of these species are found consistently in Crohn's.

 The best way to resolve this inconsistency is to say simply that Koch was wrong and that chronic diseases are caused by a multitude of species and forms – a [[:home:pathogenesis:microbiota|metagenomic microbiota]].
