Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 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.
