Guest guest Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Dr. Shoemaker uses Actos, a diabetes drug to control MCS, especially when it first starts. You can order a copy of Mold Warriors to read up on it. www.moldwarriors.com Also, you may also want to start a candida diet now, since that can also affect your hypersensitivity. Do a search on candida diet and there are several books available as well. But this is something you can start today! I wish I had started it while waiting for all of the blood tests to come back months ago...I would probably be in much better shape now. --- In , " ehodneland " <ehodneland@...> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > I am suffering from CFS and at the same time I suffer from a very > severe form of MCS.

Yes, well, I need a house to live in, its so cold here in Norway. I try a new flat every third month, but they all seem to give me problems that disappear each time I go outside in fresh air, thus it has to be the indoor climate thats the problem.

I figure that's how I must have got " the mold gene " . Her name was Marka Myklebust from " Molde " , Norway. I described that same type of problem to Dr Cheney at the beginning of the CFS epidemic. Well, except the problems certainly didn't disappear, but they were significantly less. Definitely a clue worth paying attention to. So I installed a heater in my camper and sat outside as much as possible. My house was directly behind Dr Cheney's office. I used to sit in my camper while it was snowing and wonder " Why won't he talk to me about mold? " But Dr Cheney and Dr were convinced that we were just hyper reactive due to the " Yuppie Flu " and that mold was just another irritant among many with no special significance. I sure am glad I had that camper. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 It does help control blood sugar, but he uses it " off label " to control inflammation. So it works well to control the cytokine nuclear receptor activity and can lower levels of leptin, MMP9, and PAI-1. > > > Dr. Shoemaker uses Actos, a diabetes drug to > > control MCS, especially > > when it first starts.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Before you go SCREWING around with your endocrine system...get a work up by a ENVIRONMENTAL DR.... http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic2/pioglit_ad.htm Taking a diabetic drug which will EFFECT your pan reas abilkty dolwn the road makes no sense at all. YOur system is already screwed up from chemicals so now you want to screw up another organ? If you dont have candidas doing that diet is not going to benefit you. Try a STANDARD rotation diet ..whereby you DON'T eat the same food unless its 4 days later. Also, a VERY simple and TESTED test is when you eat something take your pulse if it INCREASES you are allergic to it. Research before you INJEST more chemcials into an apparently over taxed body. Your pancreas is not one of the primary detox organs. Tryto support your liver and immune sytem. DRUGS ARE NOT THE ANSWER!

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I hear you. I've been to many doctors, including so called environmental doctors, infectious disease specialists, etc, and NONE of them knew a bio toxic illness from a hole in the ground. I'm not saying that Actos is the answer, only that Dr. Shoemaker does use it for MCS. He also typically only uses his treatments short term, for a two week period and then it is stopped. (The exception being cholestyramine). I'm all for naturopathic methods, especially lately, when my MCS started and is progressing in the wrong direction. I'm starting with treating a yeast overgrowth situation through diet and supplements, since Dr. Shoemaker didn't even test for it and I know my GI track has been screwed up for years. It's also a major part of the immune system, so getting it in order is definitely a major piece of the puzzle.
