Explaination of FWIW

[Guest guest]

FWIW stands for " For What's It's Worth " methodology. As moderator as

this group I feel it is inappropriate to customize it for my own models

etc (hence the tendency not to post) -- although I was bizarrely accused

of that on a recent post on this list...

In short, it is an attempt to do a realistic/pragmatic method of

treatment GIVEN the many challenges involved such as:

* Non-cooperative MDs

* Low tolerance for herxing

* Limited financial ability

There is none of this imitation of MD's " here is a recipe for cure " ,

instead it's a method that each person follows customizing it for their

own responses, test results etc -- including using probes (i.e. trying

something and see if there is a response).

The methodology assumes the following:

* Nutritional deficiency is a significant factor for many,

specifically adding in Vitamin D3 deficiency as a critical one --

because there is a strong correlation between the incidence of

autoimmune illness and low Vitamin D3 levels.

* Inherited or acquired coagulation defect is a significant factor

for many. There are some dozen different defects -- each one of which

has different treatments unfortunately.

* Probable multiple infections - both viral, bacteria and possibly

fungal. Each one of which is sensitive to certain antibiotics,

antivirals etc. Prof. Nicolson papers suggests one new infection for

every 4 years with the illness. Hence you have a compounding scenario.

So the immediate result is with 12 coagulation defects, 24+ infections

(all of which appears to be in the " Syndrome family " of

infections, plus different nutritional issues (each infections likely

has it's own impact on nutrition), you would end up with some 1000+

different protocols, more likely 5000+ protocols in the traditional

sense. Hence the use of " methodology " is a better term.

The FWIW is an attempt to do a truthful description....

Ah yes. Thanks. I have read this one and gone on www.curezone.com. and lurked

some. For anyone that doesn't know about this site it's Fabulous! Of course

like I said I haven't been here for long so I may forget who I'm talking

to.....like the smartest bunch around.

NO NO NO, I didn't do that. I was referrring to The Moderation/list statements,

not the protocol pages (which I called a goldmine).
