Guest guest Posted February 1, 2001 Report Share Posted February 1, 2001 Hi Caren, Thanks for the info on your Nevada Clinic appt. I have wanted to do the testing for the organs for awhile now. I'd really like to see what organs may be functioning below normal. I am trying to decide if I am going to go through them or work with Dr. Nicolson in Huntington Beach, CA. I wrote him recently, and I need to check out what he may want to suggest for a treatment. Check out his website. Here is our correspondence: ----- Original Message ----- From: Prof. Garth L Nicolson Patty Sent: Monday, January 29, 2001 5:31 PM Subject: Re: Saline implants We have found that many implant victims that have chronic illness even after removal of their implants usually have chronic infections, such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, various chronic herpes viruses, etc. Once these infections are identified, the patients can be treated. Your partial responses to ozone therapy only support that anaerobic infections may be involved in your illness. If you are interested, please consult our website, www.immed.org Prof. Garth Nicolson ---------- From: " Patty " <faussettdp@...> <gnicimm@...> Subject: Saline implants Date: .Jan 28, 2001, 6:02 PM Hi Dr. Nicolson, Can you help me? My name is Patty Faussett, and I have been in touch with Dr. Kolb in Atlanta for quite some time now. I have a support group for women harmed by saline implants, of which she is a member. I myself have been a victim. I have been explanted for almost 3 years now. I have improved in most areas--almost all of my symptoms are gone, except for one devastation symptom. It is my brain function. I have had many periods recently where I felt good, but I still suffer from exacerbations where I feel like my head is stuffed with cotton balls, and I am going through a deepening depression right now because of it. I am highly motivated to get better, but after 3 years, I wonder if I am fighting a losing battle. Dr. Kolb has told me about you and your leading edge work regarding the Gulf War Syndrome, and your protocol and its similarity to the silicone treatment protocol. I have done almost all natural therapies for myself, including ozone therapy (I have a cold plasma generator and do insufflations) and feel that they have helped me alot. However, I guess I need to know for sure if I am fighting a mycoplasma infection, and how I can get treated for this properly. Dr. Pierre Blais has analyzed my saline implants, and has written " Both implants were grossly contaminated with at least one class of micro-organisms (mycobacteria). Having such implants in that condition would be approximately equivalent to bearing two large abscesses for more than a year. " Have you had success in healing women who have been harmed by saline implants? Would you be willing to help direct me as to what path I should follow to finally resolve this health issue? I live in Las Vegas. Any advice you have to offer is greatly appreciated, and I would be so grateful to hear from you. Sincerely, Patty Faussett I'll let you all know what happens if I get anything done with anyone! I am so bad when it comes to making doctor appointments! We have just gotten most of our credit card bills paid down, and I hate to jack them up again, especially since I am using the ozone therapy. But, I sure need to find out if I need to kick some mycoplasma butt.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 here's a couple of links for reading material. The first one looks like they are articles with plaquenil mentioned. http://www.emedicine.com/cgi-bin/foxweb.exe/searchengine@/em/searchengine Here's the write up on Plaquenil. http://www.healthsqr.com/newrx/PLA1337.HTM have you actually been diagnosed with Lupus? My first reaction to reading the description of Plaquenil and what it was used for and how long it would take to work I immediately thought of alfalfa tablets or liquid or there are other arthritic formulas in the hfs's that could be helpful and they will take about the same amount of time to feel the effects. Just my thoughts kiddo. Good luck with your search. Jackie ----- Original Message ----- From: carina063@... Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 12:42 PM Subject: Patty I read over that post and it had some information that I am curious about. What about soy? do you drink soy milk????? I am off dairy completely and have been using soy milk, do you think this is a good substitute or is rice milk better? I had no idea about beans until recently also. The girl I know who has lupus has had it for 10 years and she said she has been in remission since following the MS diet that I refered to and also taking the plaquenil. She doesn't take any other meds, she said the plaquenil saved her life, she was suffering from esophageal strictures related to her lupus and the plaquenil apparently has helped this, and her pain immensly, it also made her hair stop falling out. I am so confused on this issue. ok I will wait for any and all opinions! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Hi Patty, I've been taken off the antibiotics because of frequent BMs. I'm on something called Penicillamine. I found out it's used for arthritis and to remove toxic chemicals from your system. It's a chelation. I'm wondering what you know about it and if you know what the difference is in this and the chelation that you told me about. Or if anyone else knows anything about it. I know that this has a lot of side effects that I need to watch for, but that's all I know. Thanks Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2001 Report Share Posted May 16, 2001 Shirley, Penicillamine is a drug which chelates heavy metals. It also inhibits collagen formation. It is typically prescribed for people with 's Disease (people who have copper in their system); for people with cystine in their urine; and for people with rheumatoid arthritis. You're right--it does have the potential for some nasty side effects, and your doc should be closely monitoring you and your blood. Be aware that it can cause a positive ANA, but this does not mean you have lupus. If you already have a positive ANA, then I'm not sure if it causes the ANA to increase or not. You should also be taking a vitamin B6 supplement daily as long as you're on the penicillamine. The recommended amount and type of blood work is to have a CBC, LFT's, and chem 7 every 2 wks for the first 6 months, then per routine (whatever protocol your doc follows). Penicillamine has the potential to significantly decrease the white blood count (WBC) and platelets. This needs to be closely monitored because if your WBC's drop, you predispose yourself to illness, and if your platelets drop, your blood doesn't clot. You also need to have your urine monitored for protein loss, as this drug can cause protein to be lost through the urine. Penicillamine can also cause skin friability, so be aware that your skin may become very dry and sensitive, and may tear easily. Symptoms of decreased WBC's are severe fatigue, a cold or flu that isn't getting better, diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. I think the key symptom in low WBC's is fatigue, and it is overwhelming. Low platelets would manifest as easy bruising and bleeding. You might just "touch" your hand against a counter or chair, and the next day, you have a huge bruise. I've seen people whose platelets are so low that someone just has to tap them and they develop a huge bruise. Also, you will bleed very easily and it will take a long time for you to stop bleeding. You may have to hold pressure for upwards of 10 minutes to get a simple cut to stop bleeding. So, if you notice any of these, be sure to notify your doc right away. You need to take the drug on an empty stomach, and it is very important to drink lots of fluids while you're on it, so that you can help your kidneys flush it out. And you should drink water or fruit juices and not sodas or caffeinated drinks. Okay, now the side effects (potential). I will list the more common ones only. ear infammation anorexia epigastric pain nausea and vomiting diarrhea loss of taste or altered taste perception (if this happens, it should resolve within 6 wks) inflammation of the tongue low RBC's low WBC's low platelets These are the most common and frequently occurring side effects. There are, of course, others, but they occur much less frequently. You can also not take antacids or iron supplements within 2 hrs of taking penicillamine. I'm guessing your doc put you on this for your health problems (I can't recall off the top of my head what your symptoms are). It is prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis, although I don't see it that often. It is not a commonly prescribed drug because of its side effects, but sometimes when nothing else works, this does. So, just watch yourself and monitor anything unusual. Know, though, that it may take up to 3 months to start feeling better. So, if it doesn't seem to be working right away, don't worry. Give it time. Keep me updated! e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 What exactly is this Dr treating you for caren, I am curious. Do you have an actual diagnosis? I have been diagnosed with undifferentiated mixed connective tissue disease and have an elevated ANA(autoimmune disease) blood test. It is a combination of autoimmune diseases but they don't have a true diagnosis so that is what they call it. Are you doing better than when you had the implants?
