Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hate to ask you to theorize prematurely but , do you think this protocol has the ability to reverse brain fog w/i days? I bought quite a few supplements to test out one by one but now I am thinking can I wait around long while I hear of your success with Benicar so far? Question: is it cheap to use for those of us w/o insurance especially? I already know the MWF 100mg is cheap. Secondly, do you think Minocin is needed or will plan generic minocycline do the job? > I know this sound extreme...however, I do believe that Dr. Marshall > has uncovered the cause of and the cure for our disease. > > He has discovered that angiotensin II receptor activity can set into > motion a self-perpetuating inflammatory cascade. > > I believe many pathogens and other chronic inflammatory triggers may > be able to set this perpetual cycle going.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Other question, , I know some here will have after they do more reading is is there danger of lowering blood pressure too low being that many here already have severe hypotension. Before I got well enough to exercise I remember having bp in 80's/50's and even as low as 73/40something. Once a person takes Benicar do you think the immune system will start to correct things to where their bp will normalize anyway and correct for the hypotension to where they won't need to worry about it going even lower but instead it will actually become normalized by rising? Lastly, is the 1,25D testing a test like MMP9 that docs only test very rarely and is not considered normal immune testing? > I know this sound extreme...however, I do believe that Dr. Marshall > has uncovered the cause of and the cure for our disease. > > He has discovered that angiotensin II receptor activity can set into > motion a self-perpetuating inflammatory cascade. > > I believe many pathogens and other chronic inflammatory triggers may > be able to set this perpetual cycle going.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 , If you understand that inflammation is causing our cognitive problems, you'll see how Benicar works amazingly well for this. Benicar has made my mental clarity sharp and improved my mood significantly. I have a wonderful paper about angiotensin and cognitive behavior...send me an email and I'll give you a copy. Q: is it cheap to use for those of us w/o insurance especially? A: it's about $50 for 30 40 mg tablets. Q: Secondly, do you think Minocin is needed or will plan generic minocycline do the job? A: Good old minocycline is fine...I'm not sure doxy wouldn't work either...but I think mino is likely better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A: Yes, you answered your own question...Benicar can be used in cases of hypotension...Dr. Marshall's work has shown this effect plateaus with high doses of Benicar. There might be some slight dizziness initially, but that seems to resolve itself as the disease remits. Q: Lastly, is the 1,25D testing a test > like MMP9 that docs only test very rarely and is not considered > normal immune testing? A: Yes, and the blood sample needs to be frozen to get an accurate reading...1,25D must be heat labile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Thanks for posting on this list. I think someone posted this in another thread, but it is important enough to do it here as well. A vigorous discussion of this is ongoing at lymenet: http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/024816.html There are related threads in that list as well. It is dominating the forum. Currently I do not know if there is a strong reason to believe that the same inflammatory cascades occur in all these illnesses, but seems worth looking into. thinks so and he is knows more than me. has addressed the blood pressure issue numerous times and Marshall says it is ok for hyptotension. Still, I wonder if Marshall has worked with patients with the severe problems of BP some of us have, including NMH. I really encourage everyone to go to the lymenet link and see what you think.
