[Guest guest]

Aandraya,This is very interesting... this protozoan parasite discovered by Dr. Fry can possibly be found in mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and possibly insects / arachnids (mites included); has oncogenic potential (cancer causing)... could be part of what we are struggling with. I do believe MetaMetrix found this protozoan too (called unidentified). It could be carried by the spiders I've had in my house or I should say infested with for the last 3 years.From: "a Burns" <kmb@...>CaliforniaLyme Sent: Friday, October 21, 2011 6:35:48 PMSubject: Re: [CaliforniaLyme] Re: WAS Protomyxzoa Rheumatica/ FL1953

Many of you asked for more info on this. The info I have is a 9 page document entitled "Conservative Treatment Concepts for Chronic Inflammatory Disease Caused by Protmyxzoa Rheumatica". It was faxed to my LLMD by the doc who discovered PR and it is copyrighted. Every page states "NOT FOR CLINICAL USE". Since it is so long I will try to paraphrase for you all:PR may be contracted by exposure to mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and possibly insects/arachnids; has oncogenic potential PATIENT SYMPTOMS: flu-like symptoms, fatigue, myalgia, headache, arthralgia, unusual rashes, respiratory appears as viral pneumonia (severe cases). Symptoms can persist then go into remission. Females get > symptoms than males, can be asymptomatic in pregnancy.CLINICAL PRESENTATION: Diagnosis is both clinical and laboratory; symptoms may included persistent malaise/fatigue, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, morning stiffness, night sweats, neuro complaints, sub- body temp, causes immune system to produce chronic inflammatory state; weight gain (most), weight loss (sml #). Cardiac manifestations: chest pain, palpitations, poor tolerance to excercise, arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, R. atrial dysfunction; Artheriosclerotic disease; A vascular obstructive process is probable mode in prolonged illness; often only clinical findings=enlarged cervical/inguinal lymph nodes; progressive disease shows subcutaneous nodules that look like Lipomas/fibromas on biopsy; stretch marks hips/but/flank; chest films usually normal but in advanced nodules & interstitial fibrosis may be seen. MRI of CNS may show increase in T2 micro focal lesions and CCVI leading to demyelination, psych disorders ADD/ADHS, Autism, Bipolar, depression, anxienty, insomnia; interventional vascular procedures may show long strands of material that aren't thrombi & may be PRLABORATORY FINDINGS: May show mild hypo-chromic anemia, elevated CRP/cCRP/alpha-CCP, positive ANA, early disease see ESR=low, late=high; assoc. with myelodysplasia; Bb Western Blot may show positive bands 41 and 23; PR causes PROFOUND IMMUNOSUPPRESSION see low CD57 and immunosuppression with moniliasis. D3 always lowEXCLUDE OTHER DIAGNOSES: HIV, TB, aspergillis, toxoplasma, coccidioides immitis, Lyme, Ehrlichia, anaplasma, babesia, malaria, bartonella, Qfever, Rickettsia, verbally told my doc West Nile alsoDEFINITIVE DIAGNOSIS BY: specific staining technique with confirmation PCRORGANISM=20-40 microns with PROFOUND BIOFILM CAPACITY, malarial-like form and tissue phase @maturity. One form is flagellated & motile seen in extreme cases of disease and immunosuppression; routinely produces obstructive macroscopic strands in vasculature.UNIFORM RESISTANCE TO ALL DRUGS TESTED , prob. because biofilm; thinks at least 3 diff strainsTREATMENT CONCEPTS: combo of lifestyle changes: diet, exercise, avoidance certain foods/supplements, anti-malarial drugs, may see reactivation old diseases. Sees PR as underlying problem so focus therapy on it and other opportunistic infections usually subside as immune system recovers with reduction PR. PR most certainly causes immune suppressionWell.........that is only the first 2 pgs. I am tires now so I will write more later,a a Burnskmb@...
