Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Kay, What is the name of this protazoan? Thanks, Ellen I have learned so much lately from group emails and related websearches have led to the following; Due to your posts regarding biofilm and oxalates, I recently saw Fry MD whose undergrad work was in microbiology and who owns his own lab in sdale, Arizona. At our first appointment, Dr. Fry told me that 2 years ago, he discovered a protazoan inside biofilm that's similar to the malaria parasite in 100% of the CFS patients he tests. Dr. Fry has focused his work on CFS for the last 19 years. Since this discovery, he treated all of his CFS patients with antibiotics and anti-malaria drugs reversing CFS in 70%. His CFS patients who had had it for the longest were the 30% whose symptoms were the most difficult until he learned that the food for this protazoan was fat. That was 6 months ago. Since putting all of his CFS patients on the antibiotic/antimalaria drugs plus a fat free diet and enzymes to breakdown biofilm, he has had 100% success in treating CFS. He also told me he can only get us well when we stop magnesium supplements. He said that we are not actually low in magnesium. Rather that because magnesium is an essential component of biofilm, the biofilm robs magnesium from our blood to increase its' population making us look magnesium deficient. So when we take magnesium supplements we are actually feeding the biofilm and making ourselves worse. This was quite a revelation to me. Dr. Fry does lab smeers to test. Mine revealed well developed biofilm and the protazoan so I have just started his treatment protacol. You can keyword Fry Laboraties if you wish, for a list of the CFS and Lyme disease related tests his lab does. He will work with your doctors if you wish. Although I'm not crazy about drugs or more antibiotics, I feel them a necessary step to kill the bugs. Since my urine acid test results indicated high oxalates, I went on the low oxalate diet too. And since I've stopped taking all magnesium, I'm using cal citrate with meals to bind with the oxalates and carry them out. I'm also taking Lifestar Glutathene since low glutatheine seems part of this circle of events too. Without magnesium my bowels don't move so I'm drinking prune juice and senna tea and doing enemas for now. Dr. Fry says I will probably feel sicker for the first 2 months due to Herx and should start to feel better in about 3 months. From the day I woke up with CFS 28 years ago, my body temp has been low. He said that when the protazoan is under control my body temp will be normal again. It should take 3-5 months. After that I plan on getting back my good gut bacteria with a stool infusion treatment. Web searching this afternoon, I found Dr. Khoruts, University of Minnesota Gastroenterologist, 763-898-1000 and Dr. Lawrence Brandt at Montefiore Medical Center in New York who are doing fecal transplants in the US. I'm sending a letter to Dr. Fry tomorrow to see if he knows of a gastroenterologist here in Arizona who does or will do the procedure when my antibiotic treatment is finished. I'm learning the importance of doing things in the right order. Kill the bugs first then repopulate the gut with good bacteria is what I'm thinking. I of course, am no doctor. Just sharing what I'm in the beginning of trying. It's similar to what has done to get her good results. If anyone reading this has input that might help me, I would appreciate it and I will let you all know in a few months what my results are.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 According to Dr. Fry's test results, the antibiotic and antimalarial drugs he's treating me with, are indicated and neither he nor I consider them sugar pills. As doctors do, he has chosen what in his experience he feels is best suited to my test results and patient history and I'm hoping he's right. He has put me on his most aggressive combination because of how devdeloped my bilfilm is and because I've had CFS for 28 years. He did a liver enzymes test first to make sure he could give me this particular malaria drug and will monitor me monthly. If a particular liver enzyme level gets too low, I will need to stop this drug and go on one less aggressive.  As I mentioned in my initial email, he says he has only had success with more advanced CFS patients in the last 6 months. I don't know where you got the miracle worker part. I simply told the group what he told me and clearly stated at the end that this is something I was trying and would let everyone know the results.   's succes has been an inspiration to me as I am not used to hearing from or about people who have had CFS nearly as long as me let alone one who has gotten their life back. She refered to herself as a " guinea pig " who is still walking a fine line. I consider myself the same. How could we be anything else at this point in time.  If there is a physician or patient who has this whole CFS puzzle figured out, I haven't heard about them yet. I know no CFS experts yet. So some of us just have to take chances so we all can learn.  She has mentioned how helpful the fecal implants were for her but that they were done in Australia.  In my initial email, I also wanted anyone else who found that treatment resonated with them like it did with me, to know that there are gastroenterologists here in the US who are doing fecal implants too. I didn't find any who had done them on CFS patients but know that as long as they are being done on someone, the possibility exists for me to get them too.  I have appreciated fellow CFS'ers sharing their questions, opinions, results, experiences, and possibilities with me then I choose what clicks with me and it sometimes helps me decide what to try next. I was simply trying to do the same.  While I think it important to stick to the subject, if we only posted what was proven beyond doubt by physicians with printed papers, we wouldn't have much. Unfortunately with this disease, we seem to be left with charting our own treatments and hoping for breakthroughs. I do feel we're getting closer and have more hope for us now than ever before. And I of course hope that what Dr. Fry has just told me and what we're trying will be a breakthrough for me and help others. Time will tell.  Kay   > I recognize the possible conflict of interest and you're right I have no proof that he has accomplished what he says.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Thanks for posting this idea Kay. I wonder how this relates to symptoms that indicate lack of magnesium, like muscle twitching. My daughter struggles with this all the time. Do you suppose the biofilm is taking the majority of the Magnesium she supplements with and so she is not getting enough herself? But if she stops the Mg supplements, her twitching gets worse. And she take Boluoke. Maybe not enough? Her LLMD is afraid to go after the biofilm too aggressively because he thinks she wouldn't be able to handle the die-off but maybe it is time. She is also on IV Rocephin and several oral abx for the lyme. I will propose this scenario to him and see if he has anything relevant to add. > He also told me he can only get us well when we stop magnesium supplements.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hi ,  Yes I am the one who did 4 stem cell treatments, had my last almost a year ago, and don't have plans to do more. I was ISCI's first CFS patient so no one knew from the onset how much or how little those treatments would help me and I told the group that in my posts.  I did the stem cell treatments because the study that connected cardiomyopathy with CFS said that the most promising future treatment here in the US for cardiomyopathy was stem cells. I didn't feel I had time to wait. For about 4 months prior to my first stem cell treatment my heart had gotten so bad it felt like it was bubbling at times. I was very weak and for the first time since having CFS, felt myself slipping away. Numbness, tingling, and coldness of extremeties and general weakness had become extremely disabling and scarey. From the first treatment, my heart never has had that bubbling sensation again. The stem cells also meant the end of bladder frequency problems for me, took away my hiatal hernia, and as I was told they would to, may have modulated my immune system because severe allergies that I've had since CFS onset almost disappeared by the 4th treatment. I'm not sorry I had the stem cell treatments at all.   Even though they are not a cure for CFS and no one told me they would be, they did handle physical repairs that I feel had become urgent for me. They also reduced the severity of many symptoms which although not a cure, improved my quality of life.  Since doing the stem cell treatments, we've shared info about biofilms, oxalates, XMRV, fecal transplants, and other things. Had I known about these sooner, I may not have needed the stem cell treatments. But I didn't, was in an urgent situation, and the stem cell treatments got me through. Stem cell treatments don't kill pathogens, don't dissolve biofilm, and don't repopulate the gut with healthy bacteria and I didn't expect them too. Now I will try to address those issues in an effort to get myself the rest of the way well.  Blessings to you too, Kay From: grammie2304 <sarawilliams.williams@...> Subject: Re: My new treatment protocal Date: Saturday, February 26, 2011, 5:07 AM  Kay, I for one appreciate your postings.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 I have asked myself some of these same questions and don't yet know the answers. I don't know that anyone knows for sure yet. It's all too new. In the 90s, well intentioned doctors in CFS and Autoimmune disease clinics were giving patients including me Vitamin C IVs and supplements including magnesium. Now we've learned that vitamin C turns into oxalates so if we had high oxalates, made us worse and that magnesium, calcium, and iron are biofilm components and it's possible that magnesium supplements in particular may help biofilm build. Dr. Fry told me that the reason we appear low in magnesium is because biofilm takes it from our blood. I'm wondering if the reason why I have osteoporosis is because biofilm is taking it from my bones. Don't know the answer but believe it a logical question.  I have no idea of course, what is relevant for your daughter. I used to have muscle twitches. They left while I was getting the stem cell treatments. I agree with you that it would be good to talk with her doctor about this new information and certainly wish you the best of luck in helping her. Dr. Fry's office treats people with chronic lyme disease as well as lupus and CFS. Your doctor could contact him to see if he has treated anyone whose history is similar to your daughters and if so, what his results were. That might help in some way.  Kay  From: susan jasper <susan@...> Subject: Re: My new treatment protocal Date: Saturday, February 26, 2011, 9:20 AM  Thanks for posting this idea Kay.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hi, Jeri. There are other specialty labs that don't accept samples from New York state. The reason is that New York state requires that labs be inspected and certified by the state if samples are to be accepted from their state, even though the labs have federal CLIA certification, which is required for all commercial labs that run human samples. The managements of specialty labs decide whether the additional business they would get from people in New York state would be worth the cost and additional hassle of undergoing more inspections, and some decide that it isn't worth it. I have heard that New York state did this in order to generate revenue from fees, in order to provide the financial support for state-operated laboratories. The practical consequence of it for the citizens of New York state, however, is that there are a lot of lab tests that they are not able to get. Some go to New Jersey or Connecticut and have doctors there order the tests for them Best regards, Rich He also does not accept samples drawn in New York > state. What's up with that?

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Interesting about the magnesium thing. I have heard the same about copper in CFS. Shows up low on tests, but is actually sequestered. Peta Cohen MD has found that when she uses the biofilm protocol on autistic kids, they " blow out copper. " I *think* this happened to me. I had a massive copper pull on an FTM. I believe it was after doing the biofilm protocol but I'm not sure. I had such a horrid reaction to the protocol (probably being too aggressive) that I haven't repeated it. It's on the list! > > > From: ellen <variegatedfoliage@...> > Subject: Re: My new treatment protocal > > Date: Friday, February 25, 2011, 12:38 PM > > > Â > > > > Kay, > > What is the name of this protazoan? > > Thanks, > Ellen > I have learned so much lately from group emails and related websearches have led to the following; > > Due to your posts regarding biofilm and oxalates, I recently saw Fry MD whose undergrad work was in microbiology and who owns his own lab in sdale, Arizona. At our first appointment, Dr. Fry told me that 2 years ago, he discovered a protazoan inside biofilm that's similar to the malaria parasite in 100% of the CFS patients he tests. Dr. Fry has focused his work on CFS for the last 19 years. Since this discovery, he treated all of his CFS patients with antibiotics and anti-malaria drugs reversing CFS in 70%. His CFS patients who had had it for the longest were the 30% whose symptoms were the most difficult until he learned that the food for this protazoan was fat. That was 6 months ago. Since putting all of his CFS patients on the antibiotic/antimalaria drugs plus a fat free diet and enzymes to breakdown biofilm, he has had 100% success in treating CFS. > > He also told me he can only get us well when we stop magnesium supplements. He said that we are not actually low in magnesium. Rather that because magnesium is an essential component of biofilm, the biofilm robs magnesium from our blood to increase its' population making us look magnesium deficient. So when we take magnesium supplements we are actually feeding the biofilm and making ourselves worse. This was quite a revelation to me. Dr. Fry does lab smeers to test. Mine revealed well developed biofilm and the protazoan so I have just started his treatment protacol. You can keyword Fry Laboraties if you wish, for a list of the CFS and Lyme disease related tests his lab does. He will work with your doctors if you wish. > > Although I'm not crazy about drugs or more antibiotics, I feel them a necessary step to kill the bugs. Since my urine acid test results indicated high oxalates, I went on the low oxalate diet too. And since I've stopped taking all magnesium, I'm using cal citrate with meals to bind with the oxalates and carry them out. I'm also taking Lifestar Glutathene since low glutatheine seems part of this circle of events too. Without magnesium my bowels don't move so I'm drinking prune juice and senna tea and doing enemas for now. > > Dr. Fry says I will probably feel sicker for the first 2 months due to Herx and should start to feel better in about 3 months. From the day I woke up with CFS 28 years ago, my body temp has been low. He said that when the protazoan is under control my body temp will be normal again. It should take 3-5 months. > > After that I plan on getting back my good gut bacteria with a stool infusion treatment. Web searching this afternoon, I found Dr. Khoruts, University of Minnesota Gastroenterologist, 763-898-1000 and Dr. Lawrence Brandt at Montefiore Medical Center in New York who are doing fecal transplants in the US. I'm sending a letter to Dr. Fry tomorrow to see if he knows of a gastroenterologist here in Arizona who does or will do the procedure when my antibiotic treatment is finished. I'm learning the importance of doing things in the right order. Kill the bugs first then repopulate the gut with good bacteria is what I'm thinking. > > I of course, am no doctor. Just sharing what I'm in the beginning of trying. It's similar to what has done to get her good results.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi Kay It is suspected that oxalates could also be another reason for osteoporosis as they have found that oxalates are chelating calcium and magnesium and other minerals. I understand that if we take these supplements with our meals and we also take fat based supplements they all end up in a soupy mess and we don't absorb any of it. If oxalates are an issue then it is recommended to take calcium and magnesium citrate with meals to bind the oxalates in the meal, then between meals take any fat soluble sups and mag and cal. It is also recommended to take taurine to help the liver make bile to utilize the fats. All this is soooo new and complex ie. biofilm and oxalates, etc. and great care should be taken, but at the same time it is exciting because the depth of knowledge relating to these chronic illness I think is really gathering momentum, a lot of the research is due to the horrific autism epidemic. Look how allopathic medicine has turned its back on them. But it will take many years to filter outside the autism arena into mainstream. As you say, vit c intravenous used to be considered/and still is a very beneficial treatment for many illnesses but can be detrimental to others. I don't think a lot of this will filter into allopathic medicine for a long time because individuality/genetics aren't taken into account, one size fits all, take or leave it, it takes far to long to piece the whole picture together for one person, the economic model the system is based on does not allow for the time needed. It is people like me that the system can't help, issues are too complex so in an attempt to improve my quality of life I choose to take reasonably researched new approaches, I will be dead by the time allopathic medicine has the answers. I choose to take responsibility for my life and not wait for a doctor who doesn't really care about me anyway. Most wouldn't even blink an eye lid if I died.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 That's a good question. I followed the advice of other group members and checked out Dr. Usman's info at www.autismpedia.org. Her protocol is for autistic children. I haven't found much about breaking down biofilm in adults or CFS patients. I also keyworded things like " breaking down biofilm " , " biofilm protocols " , etc. went to links and read. From this information and Dr. Fry's suggestions, I have put together my own protocal of numerous supplements and 2 prescriptions that make sense to me for me. That's the best I know how to do at this time. I also paid attention to 's warning that the herx reaction can be substantial and not to be taken lightly. So I'm listening to my body and if it gets to be too much will energy test myself and back off on whatever I need to. I'm following the basic suggestions of Dr. Usman;      1. enzymes and EDTA on an empty stomach to break up biofilm     2. antibiotics and in my case the anti malarial prescribed by Dr. Fry with a meal     3. an hour after meals, binders, I'm using bentonite clay in water, to mop up the toxins  On an empty stomach when I get up in the morning, I'm taking Lifestar Glutathene, NAC, Serrapeptase, and vitamin D. 1/2 hour before breakfast, Boluoke/Lumbrokinase per Dr. Fry. With breakfast, Curcumin and Sutherlandia OPC per Dr. Swanepoel from South Africa, kelp for iron, and calcium citrate to bind with oxalates to carry them out. 1 hour later, bentonite clay and acidophelis with pectin per Dr. Usman. 1/2 hour before lunch, Boluoke and Serrapeptase again. With lunch Sutherlandia and calcium citrate. 1 hour later Bentonite clay and acidophelis with pectin again. With dinner Nattokinase, curcumin, and the antibiotic and anti malarial.  I intersperse senna and prune juice between meals and at bedtime to keep my bowels moving in the absence of magnesium. It's a lot in an effort to breakdown the biofilm, kill bugs, and move both out. Oh, I'm also taking the anti parasites, wormwood and black walnut tincture, as the protzoan Dr. Fry discovered is a parasite. And I'm on a fat free diet to starve the parasite and the low oxalate diet since my urine tests indicated high oxalates.  The Sutherlandia OPC from South Africa is so strong I have had to start and stop it 4 times each time, tolerating it better. I started it last August and believe it is gradually making me stronger. Dr. Swanepoel suggests liver/gallbladder flushes as he says it is very difficult for chronically ill people to get well if the gall bladder and liver are not clear. I passed hundreds of gallstones, gall sand, and 2 stone clusters held together with something jellylike after my first 2 flushes. The first 2 flushes made me really sick but I believe cleared a path for better detox. Just my postulation.  I'm not suggesting that anyone else do any part of my chosen protocol. If however, any of what I've shared here resonates with any of you and helps you, I'm happy. I'm taking what I've read plus test results plus the advice of 2 doctors and the rest is me flying by the seat of my pants and hoping it prepares me for what I consider my next step of fecal transplants to repopulate the get.  Kay       From: grammie2304 <sarawilliams.williams@...> Subject: Re: My new treatment protocal Date: Sunday, February 27, 2011, 4:34 AM  Where would be the best place to study biofilm protocol???

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi , Yes, I agree with you whoeheartedly.  I have read your posts carefully before putting together my current protoco and have appreciated them so much. For the reasons you noted, I'm taking vitamin D and other fat soluble supplements away from meals. I'm skipping the mag citrate per Dr. Fry but am taking calcium citrate as you and Dr. Usman suggest to bind with the oxalates and carry them out. And I believe we must be consumate label readers. I chose an EDTA that doesn't contain Vitamin C which turns into oxalates. It takes a lot of self involvement to make sure we're not taking ourselves backwards while we're trying to do the opposite.  Kay  From: crusaderD <dennybrand@...> Subject: Re: My new treatment protocal Date: Monday, February 28, 2011, 6:24 AM  Hi Kay It is suspected that oxalates could also be another reason for osteoporosis as they have found that oxalates are chelating calcium and magnesium and other minerals.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 HI Kay Wow you really are working hard at this. From my understanding you still need magnesium, the way Dr Usman explained it is a process of breaking the biofilm down then building it up, breaking it down building it up etc. So you need to have magnesium away from when you do the biofilm enzymes. If you are taking calcium you should also take magnesium. I understand magnesium is involved in over 300 enzyme reactions, you can create more problems by not having magnesium. Have you checked that the EDTA is not the calcium form, the disodium form is recommended. Also Cucumin may be really good for the liver and inflammation but it is very high in oxalates. Have you watched her recordings? She explains a lot of things. I'm glad you have a doctor helping you with this. My doctor over saw what I did. > > > > > > > > > From: susan jasper <susan@> > > > Subject: Re: My new treatment protocal > > > > > > Date: Saturday, February 26, 2011, 9:20 AM > > > > > > > > >  > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks for posting this idea Kay.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hi , I just watched Dr. Usman's video which I hadn't done before and heard her talk about breaking down the bad biofilm then building up the good gut biofilm. She doesn't elaborate. Dr. Fry was very clear saying to me, " I cannot get you well unless you stop taking magnesium. "  Maybe he means to stop taking it for now. It's an important question so I'll ask him at my next appointment. In Dr. Usman's 2009 update at the autism conference, she mentioned using Dr. Fry's lab for her testing. That's an affirmation for me. Thanks for telling me about the EDTA form. I have the wrong one and will change. Will also drop the curcumin. This is so complicated! But I want to know the details and am hopeful that the results will be worth it. Thanks, Kay From: crusaderD <dennybrand@...> Subject: Re: My new treatment protocal Date: Tuesday, March 1, 2011, 6:19 AM  HI Kay Wow you really are working hard at this.

She is also on IV Rocephin and several oral abx for the lyme. > > > I will propose this scenario to him and see if he has anything relevant to add. > > > > > > > > > > > > > He also told me he can only get us well when we stop magnesium supplements. He said that we are not actually low in magnesium.  Rather that because magnesium is an essential component of biofilm, the biofilm robs magnesium from our blood to increase its' population making us look magnesium deficient. So when we take magnesium supplements we are actually feeding the biofilm and making ourselves worse. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how this relates to symptoms that indicate lack of magnesium, like muscle twitching. My daughter struggles with this all the time.
