Digest Number 714

Hi, Christie,

>so I could have a drink to get to sleep - docs don't

>believe me when I say traz and klonopin don't work anymore.

Your doc must not be too familiar with CFS, or would expect this.

One alternative you might want to try is Ambien - another is doxepine (I

recommend liquid pediatric Sinequon so you can start at a low enough dose.)

I had a Klonopin/doxepin combination that worked well for over a year, but

then stop working well. I switched to other things; after a year I tried

Klonopin/doxepin again and it worked well again. Had to stop when my liquid

Sinequon ran out, and I couldn't get a refill because of the FDA alert

letter about the use of doxepin in combination with several other drugs.

I have seen the idea floated that by varying the exact dose, the time it

takes you to get acclimated to a sleep-inducer can be increased. This puts

off the time when it no longer works but may not hold it off forever, or in

everybody. But in my own case it did seem to help. This is most easily done

if you are using liquid formulations, or splitting tablets.

Several things to ponder regarding the is HIV benign t heory:

1. In Africa and other 3rd world countries, there isn't necessarily an HIV test

being done to determine HIV status. Often, is someone shows this many of that

many symptoms, boom, they're POZ. Nevertheless, we hear these statistics of

this many billion people will become infected in the next two seconds.

2. In Africa, over half of the people deemed POZ are women, but in the U.S., we

see about 20% of the HIV population is female. The theory is that Africans are

having wild unprotected sex night and day. And maybe they are kind of, but it's

racist to make that blanket assumption. But so are heterosexual Americans.

Just look at the number of abortions per year in America. And look at that

number since Roe v. Wade. And then crunch the numbers. Right there is pure

evidence of a lot of unprotected heterosexual sex, and yet for some reason,

there has not been a corresponding increase in women testing POZ in the US.

3. The entire " HIV is an STD " theory totally disregards everything that we know

about the human immune system and how it works. You can't pump a human body full

of powerful drugs and expect that body to " heal " . You can't expect someone to

expose his body to toxic inhalers over and over and not have a reaction to it.

And I thinks it's more a matter of a lot of unprotected anal sex exposes the

body to a lot of " foreign substances " that cause an immune reaction, and this

can gradually lead to a breakdown of the immune system. The people of Africa

need clean drinking water, access to food rich in nutrients and proteins, and

general healthcare, not the latest chemicals from Merck or Pfizer.

...... I agree that foreign proteins in the anus are a hyperimmune stimulant

..... and should definitely be avoided as an oxidant as well as nitrates

(((Graham))) Sounds like *normal* sides to me. I stood in my closet on

numerous occasions asking my mother to help me pick out a shirt because I

couldn't. Then I would get mad at what she picked. Then I would get mad

at myself for not being able to pick. Then I would cry and cry and cry.

It is all just part *of it* and it sounds like your recognize that. At the

end of your email you even sounded a bit cheerier and more grounded in

reality and just plain being grateful for being given the opportunity to

even do treatment as many want to and can't afford it or don't have support

around them. You know...... all those great platitude things that

sometimes help and sometimes don't LOL Anyway, I sure hope to see you

next Tuesday. Word is Dirk might not be there...... DARN IT! but I will be

there with bells on.

Peace and Love,

,

I think this is a good question. I often wonder what to do when I have

a global increase in something. I would take a look to see is the alpha

is a low alpha or otherwise. If there is an asymmetry (frontal alpha

high relative to posterior alpha), I would be training up beta and alpha

down frontally (beta up alpha down on the left and/or lobeta up on the

right).

I have done alpha/theta with people with too much alpha in front or

central and the alpha has come down to meet the theta. I am assuming

that you did a QEEG or Pete's assessment to get your results.

Hope this is helpful.

Kathy Abbott, Psy.D.

High Alpha Question

All

I have a new patient with alpha nearly everywhere, especially on the

Right frontally but also medially, centrally and parietally. She has

alpha peak frequencies around 11 uV nearly everywhere too. She is very

slowly recovering from a minor whiplash head inujry which should not

have been sufficient to cause the amount of confusion and memory loss

that it has.

My question is: is a strategy of training down alpha everywhere

warranted and particularly, training peak frequency down. It seems

logical, but what's logic got to do with it? what about training beta

up? any suggestions?
