Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi, . You're confusing commonly known diabetes 1 & 2 for diabetes insipidus(DI). DI has nothing to do with blood sugar levels and problems with insulin which is what your doc, like everyone's does routinely, tested for in you. You seem to have missed Dawn's noted positivity for the tilt table test, which means she has some form of orthostatic intolerance(OI) and almost certain low blood volume, both connected to DI. You may have unknowingly cleared up DI in yourself by use of Chinese herbs. Used in robust enough quantities over a long period, I think there is some evidence that certain combinations of herbs, Chinese and/or Ayurvedic, leading to reduced oxidative stress test levels. This does correlate to improved glutathione status and consequent reduction of potentional active infections. I just happen to like the direct, clear cut and easy to use product called RenewPro to effectively provided glutathione precursors. It's what got rid of my DI, OI and ME/CFS related hypothyroidism in one fell swoop this past year! " Doyon " <prd34@...> wrote: > > Dawn, > > I had the same symptoms when I first got sick.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi , Thanks for the information. It also seems that DI can often be a manifestation of toxoplasmosis (and other things like cytomegavirus): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=PubMed & list_uids=10919191 & dopt=Abstract http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=9572376 & query_hl=2 & itool=pubmed_docsum http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=8907349 & query_hl=2 & itool=pubmed_docsum http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=7732347 & query_hl=2 & itool=pubmed_docsum http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=2792124 & query_hl=2 & itool=pubmed_docsum http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=6866497 & query_hl=2 & itool=pubmed_docsum http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=5768600 & query_hl=2 & itool=pubmed_docsum http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=13647541 & query_hl=2 & itool=pubmed_docsum http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve & db=pubmed & dopt=Abstract & list_uids=13170815 & query_hl=2 & itool=pubmed_docsum Also, things like electromagnetic radiation affect blood flow as well as lower resistance to infection so you might also want to look into this factor.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Dawn, my thirst went down considerably after I started i.v. glutathione. I can now leave the house without carry water with me and I no long feel panicked if I don't have immediate access to water.

This does correlate to improved glutathione status and consequent reduction of potentional active infections. have you personally known any ? I'm wondering if somethign like that might help me bypass the whey probs and other stuff not working for me and manage to bring up the glut from some other 'method or direction'. I did get a liver cleanse herb combo with Bupleurum, I had taken that earlier in my cfs years (well, like 8 yrs into it) and seemed to help a little, but that was when I was younger and still had more strength. I think just taking small doses a short time has helped me feel al ittle better actually and help get through this week from hell. altho during these times I know I pump and live on adrenaline and the week after is likely to be another week from h. I just happen to like the direct, clear cut and easy to use product called RenewPro to effectively provided glutathione precursors. It's what got rid of my DI, OI and ME/CFS related hypothyroidism in one fell swoop this past year! Well, since I have a whole jar of the renewpro and 'renewed hope' I can tolerate this whey prot (finally) and I'll take the bupleurum combo too, will see what that does. To confuse matters more, I had ordered some NT factor a couple weeks ago and that came too, I dont' want to start too many new things at once, so prob won't start that for a couple wks tho. ANybody here taking that? is it doing anything? I prob can't afford to get it again anyway now, but I got 2 bottles of it. Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi Marcia, I saw the RenewPro, but thought too expensive as I'm paying for the ProBoost. So, on RenewPro it took a whole year to see results? I do a cheaper brand of Whey and haven't noticed a difference. What's your experience.. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi, . That's strange, not a single one of the many pubmed addresses I clicked on that you copied here brings up a reference to support your comments. Eitherway, chronic infections, particularly ones that would be managed by cell mediated immunity or the Th1 side of immune system can lower glutathione status, which in a system that is already low in GSH, to begin, could contribute to getting DI. As far as electromagnetic radiation contributing to ME/CFS symptomatology, I don't have any personal experience, sensory or intuitive, that this is relevant or true. I did explore this over ten years ago with a doc I was seeing and despite alterations in environment to eliminate or reduce sources of this radiation as well as having moved several times to locations with discernibly different levels of exposure, I experienced no difference to my health condition. That said, I like many do prefer secluded environments closer to if not in nature. Getting into cleaner air, more quiet away from city noise and other forms of urban/suburban overstimulation, I think in general is good for health, just not a panacea for my ME/CFS.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 , You may or may not be affected by the emfs, but there is also always the possibility that you did not remove yourself enough from the sources of EMFs/Microwaves to notice much of a difference. And there is also the possibility that you were so mercury toxic that you wouldn't have noticed a difference. If you look at the following map - America is pretty much completely covered http://www.cellular-news.com/coverage/usa.php And from what I understand these maps have not kept up with the pace of things. And then there is digital broadcasting, wi-fi, and the 3G system, not to mention other sources of emfs like hair dryers, refrigerators, computers, TVs, dimmer lights, etc.. I moved to a place that was both out of both cellular phone range and television range - and immediately started to notice a dramatic reduction in and/or elimination of symptoms. The second most important factor in my recovery I believe to have been intensive and extensive chelation using first a Chinese herbal formula, but then adding oral ALA and DMSA, and finally adding ten once-a-week treatments of IV EDTA to the protocol. So I would say you are on the right track with the chelation. Dr. Young states: " When we are exposed to lower frequencies - ranging between 10 hertz and 100 hertz - those particular frequencies have a tendency to disturb cells significantly that they start disorganizing, breaking apart, and giving birth to ... viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and molds.

ALA is not too impressive to me nor are Chinese herbs traditionally, for someone who has been as sick as me, except for a few new formulations I've heard about that may help boost antioxidant levels.

In fact, the one from Stanford pretty much makes the argument that it is the functional status of the organism that fundamentally determines the varied results that may be produced by a stimilus such as EMFs, not the other way around. If I'm interpreting it fairly, this doesn't seem to bode well for proving EMFs having a causal impact towards bad health. > > > Cheers, > > > > paul > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hi , Since I live in the US, and as far as I know, we don't have the Zero Search machine here, do you know if there is a conventional way to determine if I have toxoplasmosis or mycoplasma? I would certainly be very interested in finding out. Also, are you aware of any conventional treatments for these illnesses? (While I am a big supporter of natural medicine, as long as I am lactating and/or pregnant, I have to be really careful about anything that has not been well tested).

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hi Dawn, Yes, there are blood tests that you can do for these. For toxoplasmosis, I think a regular hospital should be able to take care of that - though it seems as if there are false negatives with this test. For the mycoplasma there are some specialty labs that can do this for you. Dr. Nicolson, who developed the PCR mycoplasma test, recommends Medical Diagnostic Laboratories in New Jersey http://www.mdlab.com http://www.mdlab.com/fees & servs/serv-mycoplasma.html The Dudleys have a page on Myco Testing at http://www.shasta.com/cybermom/myco_testing.htm One thing is that it is important to have your blood tested a soon as possible after having it drawn. If you are anywhere near New York, you might try Dr. Yurkovsky, who uses bioresonace and homeopathy. I think what he is doing is close to what Dr. Yayama is doing here in Japan. I know a woman in Irleand who was sick for years with CFS, tried all kinds of expensive treatments and finally found success with this healing modality. Apparently, Dr. Yurkovsky developed his method after embarking on a search to cure his son of Autism: http://www.yurkovsky.com/ For mycoplasma, antibiotics is the conventional treatment. Doxycylcine seems to be the one of choice. There are some other recommended but I would stay away from the ones containing flouride and I have heard some horror stories about these while other people seem to be ok with them. I personally took Doxy for two months and then switched to erythromycin, which Dr. Yayama recommended for the following two months. I finally brought in a product called Myco (by Raintree Nutrition) for Dr. Yayama to test with his Zero Search machine and he said that it was better than the antibiotics and that I should just continue with that. Actually, Dr. Nicolson, also recommends this product. Regarding, toxoplasmosis, it is a blood parasite, and from what I have read one just has to let it take its course - which can be anywhere from 6 months to a year if I remember correctly Anyway, my theory is that if you can return your blood back to its normal state by (1) getting out of the electrosmog, (2) chelating out the metals, and (3) practicing Chigong, then you should be able to increase your body's cellular immunity and thus your body will be able to take care of the infections. Did you see the following photos I posted earlier from a German study and how the blood changes when exposed to microwaves: http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/cluster.jpg The first picture is of normal healthy blood, the second picture is the blood drawn immediately after someone makes a 90 second cell phone call, the third picture twenty minutes later, and the forth forty minutes later. The last two pictures are of the blood of a bystander standing 1.7 meters away with the first drawn during the phone call, and the second drawn 20 minutes later. Now if your blood looks like the above, you can bet that it will become much more susceptible to all kinds of infections - which is exactly what happens in CFS. There is a decrease in both white blood cells and red blood cells - the same thing that happens in radiation sickness - and since microwaves are a form of radiation... Now, I have seen before and after pictures of people who have had medical qigong treatments and you see the opposite thing happening. Their blood goes from looking horrible and unhealthy to looking very nice and healthy after the qigong treatment. There must be something here that we just don't understand completely yet. In the following video, without even having to really believe in whether the q-link works or not - we can see what is happening to the blood of people working around electrical equipment: http://www.qlinkworld.co.uk/media/london.html " The human body, like all living things, has its own electromagnetic frequency. Cells in the brain, for example, communicate electronically. But as technology progresses we surround ourselves with more and more equipment which emit their own electromagnetic frequencies - with the potential to interfere with our own. <Dr. Young> 'When we are exposed to lower frequencies ranging between 10 hertz and 100 hertz, those particular frequencies have a tendency to disturb cells significantly that they start disorganizing, breaking apart, and giving birth to perceived viruses, bacteria, yeasts, and molds.' " Hope that helps. Good luck with it all! If you keep clear and open, I am sure that you will be able to lick this CFS.
