Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Hi I am hoping (if you chose)you can move along (slowly) with the others that chose the Yasko protocol. My best advice is don't expect much improvement for a few months. From what I read everyone that has started her program is in sucha a HURRY. Please there is no rush . . . it can make you very anxious(believe I have been there). Please go slow and educate yourself from her materials.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I agree with a's statement: " I see no reason why the folks who want to try Yasko should not form their own list or message board where they can compare extensive details of their test results and treatments. Meanwhile I would LOVE for them to keep posting short updates here. " I think that's a great way to do it -- a reasonable compromise. The Yasko protocol may hold out a lot of hope for all of us, but it does seemed to have taken over the board. I'm not so sure I agree about her statement regarding the MP. I don't know of anyone with classic CFIDS who has gotten better using his strict protocol alone. d. > > It is with great hesitation I post anything on this list, but I feel > it is imperative that I try to make a point.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I agree that going after " bugs " - be they Lyme, mycoplasma, candida or whatever is very valid treatment. Unfortunately my body is so trashed by so many infections, toxic exposures and messed up detox/metabolism that I just have to live with them or run the risk of further damaging organs, etc. My only choice is to at least try the genetic approach. It may not work, but any other treatments I know of are either just paliative or worse. So while I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater - i.e. antibiotics, etc. - the detox pathway approach is my only option. I'm very glad to have it discussed here. It doesn't matter how I got here, be it genes or pathogens. What does matter is what I can do about my situation - if amything - right now. Many other theories and approaches have been discussed on this list over the years. The Yasko/genetic approach is but one of many. This should be an inclusive list where most treatments can be discussed - with respect and tolerance for other group members - including germ theory/specific pathogens. The Yasko approach holds promise for those of us who are not fortunate enough to tolerate antibiotics, etc. Over the years there have been many postings I have passed over, knowing that they were not relevant to me because I could not tolerate them. I guess what I am trying to say, is there is room for all approaches on this list IMHO.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I feel that different lists have different 'themes'. Infection and Inflammation, for instance, is very themed toward the virulence and persistence of infections and the need for aggressive antibiotic and antifungal therapy. On that list are some who have gotten symptom free or symptom improvement that way, and some who are still trying. Oxyplus is about oxygen therapies in general. Lymenet encompasses a variety of methods with an emphasis on antibiotics. CFS-Experimental is about experimental treatments for CFS which includes lyme for some of us. When antibiotics become an experimental treatment for CFS, in some new way, it would be interesting to hear about them, for those who can tolerate them (I'm like Adrienne, and will only take them when desperate for an acute infection short term; they are not a good answer for me because of such massive fungal issues that I end up much sicker rather than improving). For instance, minocycyline is going to be tried in some brain disorders soon and is an experimental treatment for M.S. because of its anti inflammatory properties in the nervous system. > > Good Lord. There are always idiots here who will insult whatever they don't understand. Idiots get sick too. > > But nobody is being overlooked or insulted in general. If one particular idea is dominant at present- and that is nothing new- it is not by chicanery, force, deception or any other negative process. It is because it is an attractive, or at worst beguiling idea. > > I am NEVER gonna be discussing antibiotics no matter what else is spoken of here; simply because I am convinced the risk of trying them is greater than I want to take. I use them only if I have an acute infection. At least not until I had exhausted every other possible approach. I am not being influenced by the strength of the genetic arguement. > I am just thinking of how 90% of what I used to read here when I was sicker was totally worthless for me- because I couldn't understand it, or I could and it sounded like junk, or just unimpressive. Thank God for the rest, the other 10%. It has pretty much gotten me to a much better (but not well) place and I am very thankful for it. > > Perhaps we do things in a very ragged way, perhaps we could do better, I dunno. But maybe nothing is broken. MAybe it works as best as can be and there is nothing to fix. > Meanwhile we are all grown ups and get to find our way-or not- and don't need anyone protecting us from ideas. > > Adrienne > Open discussion Yasko, other > > > It is with great hesitation I post anything on this list, but I feel > it is imperative that I try to make a point.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 And, again, some of us with a whole lot of cognitive issues find it difficult to scroll through endless posts of little interest. That is why I think the Yasko stuff either belongs on its own list or an AutismAnswers with just an occasional posting here to keep us updated. mjh " The Basil Book " _http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/_ (http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/) I for one would prefer that it not go to another list. I am already on so many, I don't keep up with all of the reading on some of them. So please everyone. Could we not just keep the discussion here and just label it for those not interested? I would be thankful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 " Our perspective is being overlooked and even insulted. " I guess I am not seeing it a. I have tried to keep up with this list on a daily basis and I just have not seen insults. I don't understand the inability to scroll by a topic that does not interest some one. I do it all of the time. I for one am very interested in the Yasko information. Even though I have benefitted from antibiotics and antifungals for Lyme, my son has not. We basically have had the same treatment. Why am I better and not him? My thoughts are the genes, specifically the ones from his father's side which includes asthma. He does not tolerate sulfur foods nor sulfur based supplements,ie: NAC,Glutathione, etc. Since it is not really an allergy, then it must be a cycle problem. Which one? What to do about it? I want to pursue this testing at some point. In the meantime, I really appreciate the posts on this line of treatment. My husband works so he doesn't have time to learn about all of this nor my son the interest. That leaves me to research and learn. I don't want to have to join yet another list to do so. As far as the physician's list not pursuing this. I don't think many of them have time to do the reading that is required. They are too busy with patients on a daily basis, corresponding paper work and then trying to have a life. That is one of the reasons so many lyme patients have to educate their physicians about lyme. They just don't have enough hours in a day. So just because they are not jumping on the Yasko band wagon doesn't mean to me that it is not worthy. I for one would prefer that it not go to another list. I am already on so many, I don't keep up with all of the reading on some of them. So please everyone. Could we not just keep the discussion here and just label it for those not interested? I would be thankful. Best, in AZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Have you tried vinpocetine for the cognitive problem?? It worked wonders for me. NO topic interests all of us. I never even bother to open the ones I am not interested in and my delete key works fine.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Janet, What is your diagnosis and condition...symptoms, level of disability? It won't be possible to understand anyone " improving " , or " worsening " on the Yasko program without that info. The " cognitive problem " in classic CFS is from erratic blood flow, infections, toxins, metabolic, discrete subcortical injury, lesions, mitochondria damage, etc. There are multiple cognitive deficits common....some ongoing, some wax and wane. For some patients, the disease measurably lowers IQ by 30 points, especially after *mental* or physical exertion.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Katrina, Diagnosed with CFS and FM. I have great fatigue and I am unable to walk 3 blocks without feeling it for 2 days afterward. Sick for 25 years, started after HEAVY exercise. Had high titers for EBV. High mercury level. When I overdo it, I cannot think or function. Staring on the couch would describe it. The reason I did recommend the vinpocetine is because it really helped my energy and thinking ablility. I have lost a home because of my CFS! Spent thousands on treatment that did not work. For me, Yakso is worth putting my money behind.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Janet: My history and condition very similar to yours, except my stamina is worse than my thinking ability. Does Yasko recommend vinpocetine? I am waiting impatiently for the holiday to pass so I can do my blood test and get it back to the lab overnight to run the Yasko test, then the long wait for results. thanks, Helen > > And, again, some of us with a whole lot of cognitive issues find it > > difficult to scroll through endless posts of little interest. > > > > That is why I think the Yasko stuff either belongs on its own list or an > > AutismAnswers with just an occasional posting here to keep us updated. > > > > mjh > > " The Basil Book " > > _http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/_ (http://foxhillfarm.us/FireBasil/) > > > > I for one would prefer that it not go to another list.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Yes, Helen. Vinpocetine is in her step one for calcim control. But I was taking it before Yasko and noticed a difference. Its cheap. I am like you. Stamina worse then thinking ability, but it helped me with both.
