Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 There is a possibility that mycoplasma could be one infection that you have. Have you taken the antibody test yet? We do not know what early stages are but perhaps they are reflected in lower antibody levels as measured by the mycoplasma test. . ----- Original Message ----- From: Patty Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2001 11:10 AM Subject: Macrocytosis Dr. Kolb, e, or whoever can answer this question: The paragraph below from the Mycoplasma article gave me pause, as I remember on my blood tests, under the section "Morphology", it stated "Macrocytosis". All my blood tests prior to getting implants stated "Normal" under the morphology section, so obviously, something changed in my blood cells after getting implants, and getting sick. Does "Macrocytosis", (which I understand to mean "enlarged cells", correct?), fit this description in the paragraph below? Based on this theory he discusses, is it a good possibility that mycoplasma could be my main problem? THE BLOOD TEST If anybody in your family has myalgic encephalomyelitis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, or Alzheimer's, you can send a blood test to Dr. Les Simpson in New Zealand. If you are ill with these diseases, your red blood cells will not be normal donut-shaped blood cells capable of being compressed and squeezed through the capillaries, but will swell up like cherry-filled donuts, which cannot be compressed. The blood cells become enlarged and distended because the only way the mycoplasma can exist is by uptaking preformed sterols from the host cell. One of the best sources of preformed sterols is cholesterol, and cholesterol is what gives your blood cells flexibility. If the cholesterol is taken out by the mycoplasma, the red blood cell swells up, doesn't go through and the person begins to feel all the aches and pains, and all the damage it causes to the brain, the heart, the stomach, the feet and the whole body because blood and oxygen is cut off. And that is why people with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome have such a terrible time. When the blood is cut off from the brain, punctate lesions appear, because those parts of the brain die. It will get into portions of the heart muscle, especially the left ventricle, and those cells will die. Certain people have cells in the lateral ventricles of the brain that have a genetic predisposition to admit the mycoplasma, and it causes the lateral ventricles to deteriorate and die and this leads to multiple sclerosis which will progress until they are totally disabled and frequently die prematurely. It will get into the lower bowel and parts of the lower bowel will die and cause colitis. All of these diseases are caused by the degenerating properties of the mycoplasma.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 Patty, Yes, macrocytosis does mean enlarged cells. However, I would not be so quick to assume that mycoplasma could be the problem. While it sounds like it certainly could be a possibility based on the info in the article, I think it would be wise to get the lab tests mentioned in the article, as it sounds like only PCR testing can " identify " the mycoplasma. And there are definately other conditions/disease processes that can cause macrocystosis. e > Dr. Kolb, e, or whoever can answer this question: > > The paragraph below from the Mycoplasma article gave me pause, as I remember on > my blood tests, under the section " Morphology " , it stated " Macrocytosis " .

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 , Which antibody test are you referring to? I probably have not had it. What do I ask for?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 That's the one I couldn't get any response from when I wrote and asked 4 local doctors if they would test and treat me for this possibility. Not one would touch it.
