ABSTRACT

In 2014, Buehring reported that Bovine Leukemic Virus (BLV), a common oncogenic retrovirus of cattle, was present in some humans, primarily localized to the breast epithelium  ―  the  very  cell  type  from  which  most  breast  malignancies  arise.  By 2015, there appeared data (Buehring, 2015) supporting that as many as 37% of human breast cancer cases could be attributable to BLV exposure. But if recent estimates suggest over 83% of U.S. dairy operations are currently positive for BLV, they also show that approximately 68% are positive for cell-wall-deficient Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). Although tubercular lung infection has been said to cause 11 times the incidence of lung cancer as normal control subjects, it is its cell-wall-deficient (CWD) forms (also called L-forms) that have recently repeatedly been found through genetic analysis and appropriate stains in such cancer tissue ― suggesting that CWD tuberculosis or atypical tuberculosis “is likely to be involved in the occurrence or development of lung carcinoma”. A similar relationship between tubercular L-forms and the genesis of the very breast cancer addressed in the aforementioned BLV viral trials. This is not a coincidence. L-forms (CWD forms) predominate and are crucial to the survival of mycobacteria in vivo and they have been documented by fluorescence microscopy in all intracellular macrophage-grown M. tuberculosis observed. From its origin, the very concept of the “BLV leukemic virus” has been on shaky, unstable ground. In 1969, veterinarians Janice and Lyle Miller from the University of Wisconsin-Madison spotted C-shaped “virus-like” particles in cattle lymphosarcoma insisting that these were similar to other C-type viruses “regarded as the cause of leukemia in other species.” But by 1978, scientists at Downstate reported atypical mycobacterial forms, including its preferred filterable virus-sized “L” or cell-wall-deficient (CWD) forms in not only leukemia but all other malignancies ― all having, as their common denominator the continuous presence of mycobacterial C-shaped forms.

Tracing back to techniques similar to Miller and Millers original BLV study we found in the very lyophilized antigens present in commercial kits for the diagnosis of BLV (AgBLV), these very same CWD (cell-wall-deficient) mycobacteria and mycobacterial DNA in all BLV samples ― which when introduced into guinea pigs stimulated the same antibody as occurred when mycobacteria-infected internal organ homogenates themselves were injected into other guinea pigs. It is therefore assumed that the Bovine Leukemic Virus (BLV) is being mistaken for viral-like forms of cell-wall-deficient (CWD) atypical tubercular mycobacteria. Since latent tubercular infection, as well as the administration of BCG and tuberculin also results in persistent CWD forms, their possible role in carcinogenesis is also considered.

Find peer-reviewed papers and other articles from Lawrence Broxmeyer, MD. Broxmeyer addresses some of the most complex medical conditions of our time including AIDS, autism, infuenza, cancer,Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s Disease, mad cow disease, phage therapy, Jakob-Cruezfeldt, and tuberculosis.

Pennsylvania internist Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D. has been in various peer-reviewed publications and served as the lead investigator in an important 2002 Journal of Infectious Diseases study dealing with killing mycobacteria in the blood of patients with AIDS.  Broxmeyer’s articles cover a wide spectrum of today’s most complex medical conditions, among them AIDS, cancer, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease), Parkinson’s disease, tuberculosis (TB), Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. His research is both plausible and well-documented.

Dr. Broxmeyer conducted in depth investigations into the underlying cause of AIDS as well as into whether cancer isn’t actually an incurable infectious disease. He has also established a common thread in the etiology or cause between Alzheimer’s, Creutzfeldt-Jakob,  and mad cow disease. Their etiologies cause-wise are striking. In 2008. Broxmeyer was invited by Landes Bioscience to publish a chapter dealing with novel approaches to control intracellular pathogens in their textbook Patho-Biotechnology.

Dr. Lawrence Broxmeyer currently holds the position of Medical Investigator in Whitestone, New York, at the N.Y. Institute of Research. His team conducts research regarding Parkinson’s disease, AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, and the application of phagotherapy, which deals with using bacterial viruses to kill host bacteria. Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D. brings to his work both  extensive experience in scientific research techniques, as well as his many years as a practicing internist.

Before becoming the founder and Medical Investigator of The N.Y. Institute of Research , Lawrence Broxmeyer, MD served on the staff of several prominent New York affiliate hospitals. As America’s AIDS epidemic progressed, Broxmeyer worked with a teams in San Francisco and at the University of Nebraska Medical Center to research and develop a novel treatment, including an innovative technique for eliminating  immunosuppressive AIDS mycobacteria.

Hello world!

These are the manuscripts, thoughts and laboratory results of physician/researcher Lawrence Broxmeyer, M.D.. As a medical investigator and author, his mission is and has always been to push out the boundaries of what is known towards those of what is conceivable. What he writes, along a historical time-frame is both compelling and well-documented addressing some of the most challenging problems in medicine today, among them AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, autism, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, HIV, influenza, the Pandemic of 1918, TSE, the Transmissible Spongioform Encephalopathies, tuberculosis, Jakob-Cruezfeldt disease, mad-cow disease, phage therapy and recent mycobacterial research.  If you are expecting to read the parroting of present medical orthodoxy, you might be disappointed. If on the other hand, you are not entirely satisfied with certain areas of present day dogma and the results they bring, you might find Broxmeyer’s ideas absorbing. Anyway, let us begin………….
