Guest guest Posted January 2, 2001 Report Share Posted January 2, 2001 , you wrote " I have a question to ask about the results of a test Dr Cheney had me take. The test is the Natural Killer Cell Function Assay which was done at the U of Miami. He said that I had zero NK cells. Also, the lab copies sent to me had zeros with exclamation points after them, like this 0! Can anyone bring me up to speed on CFIDS and NK cells. And if anyone has had 0!'s what has happened to you? " you have two more than I do! My count was 2, also ordered by Cheney from the Univ. of Miami. I'm sure I don't know the full significance, but it means that our immune system is out of balance - we are TH1 suppressed and TH2 activated. Being TH1 suppressed is not good - we don't mount the immune response that we should against intracellular things like viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia pneumonia, cancer, etc. Being TH2 activated means we over respond to things like allergens, regular bacteria infections, parasites, and toxins. I posted many emails on this subject to the list in November, which were transcriptions of my recent visit with Cheney. Within the next week or two a more condensed, polished article - with a diagram - will be coming out in our support group's newsletter, which will be posted on our website www.virtualhometown.com/dfwcfids. It will also have articles on Cheney's growth hormone and bovine growth factor study, the breathing technique he recommends to increase oxygen transport, and using Gookinade to increase blood volume. Take care. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2001 Report Share Posted January 4, 2001 I would also recommend to clean the gut (colonics, enema), get rid of candida, eat friendly bacteria and maybe fiber to keep the gut clean. I was told that gut represents 80% of your immunity. Just my 2 cents Stania Od: " Mark A. Werner " <bwentdg@...> NK test - for > Transfer Factor, MGM-3, Colsotrum, Isoprenazine, Pine Cone Extract ASAP !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
