Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I knew of someone else on a chemo drug for arthritis too, but no reports... I for one cannot imagine me surviving chemo at this stage! hmm, maybe for one week... Katrina Rituxan is a chemo drug which has demostrated rather miraculous " cures " for rheumatoid arthritis. This was a serendipidy discovery - I can't spell that. Rituxan at a lower dose stops arthritis for about six months. Here's how it works. It kills off all the B cells in the blood. These are the B cells which are attacking and destroying cartilege. Then the bone marrow produces nice happy B cells that don't hurt cartilege. It takes about six months for the new B cells to go bad in some way and start attacking again. MY PERSONAL HUNCH ON THIS IS THE B CELLS GET INFECTED, MAYBE WITH MYCOPLASMA, AND THEN THEY DON'T WORK RIGHT ANYMORE. But be that as it may, the Rituxan probably helps. If I had RA I would take Rituxan. You don't even have to take it at the dose and time frame that the cancer patients do. Meanwhile the quinolone antibiotics work like chemo. The point is you kill germs as well as cancer cells with chemo. Is a lightbulb going on in somebody's head???? COULD CFIDS BE AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Hi a I thought exactly the same when I read about chemo and CFIDS here. One only has to think about how arsenic has been used against syphilis and other infections in the past, then today we have purer versions of arsenic compunds used for chemotherapy. Nuff said.
