Practical approach to handling infections
Cassandra Mougiakou, MD, specialist in Internal Medicine, Athens, Greece
Infection is the state when germs like bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites invade and grow by multiplying in the body.
Infections by prions (e.g. Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease), which are a type of protein that can trigger normal proteins in the brain to fold abnormally, will not be discussed here.
An infection can begin anywhere in the body and may spread through it. Disease can develop when the cells in the body get damaged as a result of the infection, leading to the appearance of symptoms of an illness.
It’s also possible to have an asymptomatic infection. Some examples of infections that don’t always cause symptoms include HPV, gonorrhea, and Chlamydia.
Types of infection acc. to their duration
Acute infections are the ones that, after their onset, they progress quite rapidly and are over after days or within 4 weeks.
Subacute infections last between 1 to 3 months.
Chronic infections can last for weeks, months, or a lifetime.
Recurrent infections are the ones that appear in the same organ a number of times during the year.
Latent infections may even not cause symptoms at first but can reactivate over a period of months or years.
Common infections
Respiratory tract infections include sinusitis, tonsillitis, sore throat, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Viruses and/or bacteria may be responsible for respiratory tract infections.
Otitis media is the official name for an infection or inflammation of the middle ear. Both bacteria and viruses can cause ear infections, which commonly occur in babies and small children.
Urinary tract infection (UTI is a bacterial infection of the bladder, urethra, kidneys, or ureters. The most common of all is cystitis (bladder inflammation).
Genital infection is an infection caused by viruses (often HPV, genital HSV), bacteria or yeast.
Sinusitis happens when the tissue lining of any of the sinuses becomes swollen or inflamed due to a virus, bacterium, fungus or allergies.
When sinusitis is caused by bacteria, there will be yellow or green phlegm, nasal congestions, postnasal drip, and pressure in the sinus cavities.
Acute sinusitis has the shortest duration from 1‐4 weeks. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria and allergies.
Subacute sinusitis symptoms can last for up to 3 months. This condition commonly occurs with bacterial infections or seasonal allergies.
Chronic sinusitis symptoms last for more than 3 months. They’re often less severe. Bacterial infection may be to blame in these cases. Additionally, chronic sinusitis commonly occurs alongside persistent allergies or structural nasal problems.
Most sinus infections are viral, caused by the common cold virus. The most common bacteria causing sinusitis are Streptococcus pneumonia, Hemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus and Moraxella catarrhalis. Aspergillus fumigatus is associated with chronic invasive fungal sinutitis.
Treatment of acute conditions:
Germ elimination programs; if available run the PS 10325/10326. Alternatively, you can run the programs 191/193 after adjusting the amplification level and time duration. You can also test and use the programs 978.2, 971.0, 998.1
Input cup: nasal secretion and/or vials with the pathogenic frequencies.
Output: mat on the back.

With the exception of the chakra and allergen/pathogens elimination programs the input will be a flexible applicator on the affected sinus(es). The output will be the mat on the back. You may include nasal secretion in the input cup and substance complexes from the 2nd channel.
Tonsillitis is an inflammation (swelling) of the tonsils.
The tonsils are part of the lymphatic system and act as filters, trapping germs that could otherwise enter the airways through the mouth and nose and cause infection. In the case they get overwhelmed by bacteria or viruses they get swollen and inflamed.
Tonsillitis caused by a virus is most common in children over age two. There are three types:
Acute tonsillitis. These symptoms usually last 3 or 4 days but can last up to 2 weeks.
Recurrent tonsillitis. This is when one gets tonsillitis several times in a year.
Chronic tonsillitis. This is when there is a long‐term tonsil infection.
Tonsillitis is caused by bacterial or viral infections.
A common cause is the A group Streptococcus (strep) bacteria, which can also cause strep throat. Tonsillitis caused by bacteria is more common in children ages 5‐15.
Another common bacteria causing tonsillitis along with Streptococcus bacteria is Haemophilus influenzae and, less often, Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis. White patches or puss on the tonsils is a sign of bacterial infection.
Common viruses that cause inflammation of the tonsils include:
Adenoviruses
Influenza virus
Epstein‐Barr virus
Parainfluenza viruses
Enteroviruses
Rhinovirus
Herpes simplex virus

Otitis is a general term for inflammation or infection of the ear.
It can either involve the external ear (outer ear and ear canal), the middle ear or the inner ear.
Otitis media is inflammation or infection located in the middle ear. Otitis media can occur as a result of a cold, sore throat, or respiratory infection.
Middle ear infections are usually a result of a malfunction of the Eustachian tube, a canal that links the middle ear with the throat area. When this tube is not working properly, it prevents normal drainage of fluid from the middle ear, causing a build up of fluid behind the eardrum.
When this fluid cannot drain, it allows for the growth of bacteria and viruses in the ear that can lead to acute otitis media.
About 3 out of 4 children have at least one episode of otitis media by the time they are 3 years of age.
Otitis media can also affect adults, although it is primarily a condition that occurs in children.
The most common bacterial pathogen in acute otitis media (AOM) is Streptococcus pneumoniae, followed by Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella (Branhamella) catarrhalis. These three organisms are responsible for more than 95% of all AOM cases with a bacterial etiology.
The common cold, flu, allergies and fungi can lead to middle ear infections. Other upper respiratory problems, such as sinus or throat infections, can lead to middle ear infections, as the bacteria make their way through the connected passageways and into the Eustachian tubes.
Otitis externa is a condition that causes inflammation (redness and swelling) of the external ear canal, which is the tube between the outer ear and eardrum. It is often referred to as “swimmer’s ear” because repeated exposure to water can make the ear canal more vulnerable to inflammation.
Most cases of otitis externa are caused by bacteria, although the condition can also be caused by fungi.
Otitis interna or labyrinthitis is the inflammation of the inner ear where the sensory organs for balance and hearing are located.
The causes of otitis interna might be a viral (common cold, flu, herpes viruses) or bacterial infection.
Treatment of acute otitis:

Cystitis is the medical term for inflammation of the bladder.
Most of the time, the inflammation is caused by a bacterial infection.
A bladder infection can become a serious health problem if the infection spreads to the kidneys.

Vaginitis is an inflammation of the vagina that can result in discharge, itching and pain. The cause is usually a change in the normal balance of vaginal bacteria or an infection. Reduced estrogen levels after menopause and some skin disorders can also cause vaginitis.
The most common types of vaginitis are:
Bacterial vaginosis, which results from a change of the normal bacteria (lactobacilli) found in the vagina to overgrowth of other bacteria (anaerobes). The most common pathogenic bacteria Gardnerella vaginalis, Prevotella spp., Peptostreptococcus and Bacteroides spp.
Yeast infections, which are usually caused by the naturally occurring yeast fungus Candida albicans.
Trichomoniasis, which is caused by the Trichomonas vaginalis one‐celled parasite and is commonly transmitted by sexual intercourse.
Other sexually transmitted vaginal bacterial infections are caused by Chlamydia and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The viruses HPV (human papilloma virus) and HSV (human herpes virus) are also transmitted through sex causing viral vaginitis.
Treatment of acute vaginitis:

Prostatitis is inflammation (swelling) of the prostate gland.
This condition can come on at any age but, most frequently, between 30 and 50.
There are 2 main types of prostatitis:
Acute prostatitis – where the symptoms are severe and come on suddenly; it’s rare, but potentially life‐threatening and requires immediate treatment.
Chronic prostatitis – where the symptoms come and go over several months; it’s the most common type.
Chronic prostatitis can develop into the chronic pelvic pain syndrome: this is described as inflammatory or non-inflammatory, depending upon the presence or absence of infection‐fighting cells in the urine, semen, and prostatic fluid. Often no specific cause can be identified. The symptoms can come and go or remain chronically.
The organisms primarily responsible for acute bacterial prostatitis are also those responsible for most urinary tract infections;
Gram‐negative members such as Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella species, Enterobacter species, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Serratia species. Of these, E. coli is involved most often and has been shown to increase biofilm formation.
Gram‐positive Enterococci bacteria account for 5‐10% of documented prostate infections. Other obligate anaerobic bacteria and gram‐positive bacteria rarely cause acute bacterial prostatitis. Staphylococcus aureus infection due to prolonged catheterization may occur in the hospital. Other occasional causative organisms include Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Salmonella species, Clostridium species, and parasitic or mycotic organisms.

Case presentations
Case 1:
A 4‐year‐old girl was brought to my office for treatment due to susceptibility to frequent colds, which lead to ear infections.
Her ENT doctor told her parents that she would need a surgery to place tubes in her ears.
We conducted 3 sessions during which, amongst other preparatory programs (basic programs, scar interference, meridian programs) her immune system was fortified (program 570.1), and earwax was used in the input cup to eliminate the pathogens causing her ear infections.
One year later she hadn’t developed another ear infection and she had got sick less frequently. Her appetite had been restored and she didn’t look like a malnourished child anymore.
Case 2:
A female patient came for treatment with acute bladder infection.
Her urine culture had shown an infection with Proteus.
In her treatment her urine was included as well as the frequency of the bacterium. Her symptoms subsided after the 1st session, and were gone after the 2nd one.
She had a urine culture repeated after the second treatment, which came out negative.
Case 3:
Another female patient came for treatment with one of her symptoms being a recurrent bladder infection.
Our energetic testing showed stress by E. Coli and Ureaplasma.
She had 3 sessions, which included elimination of the bacteria, support of the bladder with the meridian programs and the irritable bladder programs.
After these 3 sessions her symptoms disappeared.
Case 4:
A female patient came to my office in July due to recurrent cystitis accompanied with fungal vaginitis.
Her treatment included scar interference programs, detoxification support of the bladder, bladder meridian support programs, elimination programs with the tested pathogens (E. Coli, Gardnerella and Candida).
After 3 sessions none of the pathogens were testing any more, though her symptoms had subsided after the 1st session. She remains without symptoms until this day.
Case 5:
A male patient came for treatment in September due to chronic prostatitis.
He had had the condition for over 10 years. His last antibiotic treatment was in June. He was on it for 6 weeks.
His semen culture had identified E. Coli and Proteus.
Our bioenergetic testing showed stress by E. Coli and Candida.
Within 3 sessions we were able to eliminate these pathogens using inverting programs. We also supported the detoxification of the body and the prostate with the prostate programs. His new semen culture after the 3rd session came out negative.
Summary
In general, acute infections are treated with the main focus on eliminating the causal pathogen. Whenever possible, the body’s substances can be used for that. The treatment can be further supported with indication programs that target the symptoms. When caught in the early stage, one session can be enough. Otherwise, usually up to 3 sessions, 1‐2 days apart.
Recurrent infections need more groundwork, meaning the main focus is on balancing the susceptible organ by restoring and fortifying the flow of energy (scar interference fields, meridians, chakra, connective tissue, tissue blocks) and, then, on eliminating the causal stress factors. Treatments are repeated 3‐5 times, 1‐3 weeks apart.
Especially in chronic and recurrent cases, it’s a profoundly fulfilling experience to be the facilitator of a treatment that changes people’s quality of life.
