Tom McPherson Brown was a pioneer in America whose life research and clinical treatment supported the fact that all the different forms of arthritis had an underlying etiology of L-Form of Micro-organism infection of the various mesodermal tissues. This poster outlines some of the research clinical findings that formed the framework of this belief. This and more recent clinical research can not help but to challenge the critically thinking clinician with the evolving truth about the pathogenesis and appropriateness of treatment of rheumatoid disease with antibiotics.
