Evidence of a direct link between chronic sinusitis and multiple sclerosis (MS) prompted examination of the old " spirochaetal hypothesis " .

I'd buy this theory way before most of the " autoimmune " stuff that's dished to us. I think sinus and oral bugs are driving many of our illnesses, and unfortunately, the inflammation and the bugs themselves, especially actinomyices, eats right through the sinus walls and the jaw and vice versa. " Worm holes " develop between the sinuses and the teeth. Both the sinuses and the bone become necrotic, allowing bugs to spread into other sensitive regions. I'm convinced that most hashimoto's thryoid disease (autoimmune) is caused by bacterial infection. If oral bacteria can harden your arteries and affect your heart, no reason it can't affect other organs and glands that are even closer. :-( I look back over my life at the progression of my illness, and it's like a road map. It's started in my sinuses, down through my neck (stiff since childhood), then the migraines, then the brainfog, then the thryoid, then a painful upper back, now my shoulders and arms. Not that it hasn't affected other areas as well both directly and indirectly (i.e. my heart, IBS - gone now, thankfully). But it's really interesting that with some perspective, slowly, from top to bottom, my body's being overtaken - kind of like it's being fossilized. I feel like a sci-fi movie. penny > I havent read this paper but it might interest yall: > > > Lancet. 1986 Jul 12;2(8498):75-7. > > Is multiple sclerosis caused by an oral spirochaete? > > Gay D, Dick G. > > Evidence of a direct link between chronic sinusitis and multiple > sclerosis (MS) prompted examination of the old " spirochaetal > hypothesis " .

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Tony, I've known you a long time, and I'm not at all sure what you're saying here. That there's poor blood flow to the region? Like Jelly, I also believe that a lack of blood flow is a huge factor in our illness as well (along with hypercoagulation). Like you say, the ambulance (immune system) can't get to the wreck (infection). It's especially a problem in this region, because there's little blood flow there to begin with. Also, those of us who've really gone in and opened up these areas surgically, had lots of scans done, etc., know that it's pretty rare that your sinuses can be affected without there being oral/dental involvement and vice versa. As you say, the roofs of the mouths of a lot of pwc, are rotting away. Those with osteomyelitis are slowly losing their jaws, and the sinus walls are rotting through. :-( So increasing blood flow to help the immune system, increasing alkalinity in the cells to weaken the bugs, knocking down inflammation, and choosing the right antimicrobials, --all that combined, should give us a chance at hitting the bugs where they live. Hard to believe such little organisms require such a massive effort. penny > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 I'm just pointing out tht a lot of effort goes inot talking pathogens and the body has all these problems- vascularity being a major issue in ilness. Our skin the largest organ is not flowing well at all in most PWC's. this is why I ask how you sweat.This is microcirculation that I believe is not circulating. You can virtually create auto immune ilness in anyone by painting there skin. Once the natural flows are tampered with gases/toxins are being locked in and the person that's been painted tip to toe will start to get ill. So, many have very poor circulation thru diseased skin, and poor vascularity. Tamper with a healthy person and you can create autoimmune like ilness very easily. and actually more focus after a year or so and 3000 posts should be discussing other facets of ill hrealth. Actually not many come on here and post about there I and R blood thickness issue's. This is what ticked me off last time when I asked how succesfully people got there blood thinner with so called home recipe's. I got yelled at because your supposed to go off and take this for 6 months and just expect it to be working. > > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Penny I was thinking it was great to bring up a topic on arteries and veins and the outcomes of being diseased. I think there attempts to grow bacteria are STUUUUPID. I feelcomfortable that if you took plague and placed it in culture media you'd grow bugs.The way labs are structured/programmed and discard bacteria is scary. They virtually use the contamination theory tooooo often, so they base testing on doing things that avoid growing garden variety bacteria commonly found on skin.contamination is so easily overriden by doing species ID's. and antimicrobial patterns. You virtually know a bacteria is part of somones anatomy because your so called contaminant bug should be familiar to the lab person. tony > > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 My dentist explained plaque to me a long time ago. It's like a palace for the microbes. Here's a site for you guys: There's many species of bacteria that can live in plaque. http://www.dent.ucla.edu/pic/members/microbio/mdphome.html I'm not sure that everyone understands just how prevalent bacteria (and yeasts are).. They populate the earth just like we do, and there's more of them. Ever seen natural unprotected wood siding on a house as it weathers, turns grey then black? That's the work of fungi. If it hasn't gone too far , you can spray a solution of clorox on it, kill those buggers and it'll return to it's natural color.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 But the bugs are creating the placque themselves, right? I mean, sometimes when I start a new abx, the placque will build up over night, and I can literally chip what feels like pieces of concrete off the backs of my lower front teeth. You know the only thing that clears it up? The bleach rinse. Quite fast if I combine it with the high powered water jet of the Hydrofloss. But just brushing vigorously does me no good. And it's much slower with the hydrofloss alone. The bleach really works. Wonder where else in the body these bugs can create rock hard buildups or something equally as impervious? penny > > > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hi Tony, I just realized that the " dumbaussie " is the Tony that is causing the stir around here, well besides . There is no way that I have read all your posts so I'm not sure if this is your issue. You are bothered by everyone talking pathogens and not branching out into other stuff??? If that is the case, I kind of agree, BUT ultimately all of the things you mention in this post eventually end up back at pathogens. I have been someone who didn't sweat. I have also dealt with hypercoagulation/thickened blood, both with home recipes and heparin. Both of those worked/work really well. I have had literally 100s of odd symptoms, given no explanation by traditional medicine. According to them, I should have been the picture of health. That was despite the fact that I looked like an anorexic, in the final stages of cancer, having been through several rounds of chemo. The only real thing that has helped me combat ALL of those symptoms is looking at ALL of this from that angle that it is pathogens that are causing ALL or at least most of this. I have treated pathogens, and have reagained the vast majority of my health. I actually can hike now at elevations above 7000 feet at a pretty good clip. I'm not talking just a leasurelly walk in the woods, but an uphill grade over rocks. Not that many years ago, I couldn't walk from my kitchen to the living room, without wobbling, and banging into 2 door jams, kicking my toe on the coffee table and then knocking my drink on the floor when trying to set it down. Now I have in my mind almost cat like reflexes. I drop my keys and I can actually move fast enough to catch them in mid air with my arms full. I amaze myself. None of this would have been possible without treating pathogens. We can talk about all of the problems and how we might be able to relieve each one with various treatments, but they might not be needed. The bottom line is, we are talking pathogens, whether it be Lyme, Mycoplasma, EBV, etc. Clear them up and we won't need to really talk about much of the other stuff. I have had a REAL long time to think about all of this and have been researching for years with the help of a great doctor. How can one argue with the results, the proof is in the pudding, 95% remission is nothing to sneeze at. -- In infections , " dumbaussie2000 " <dumbaussie2000@y...> wrote: > I'm just pointing out tht a lot of effort goes inot talking > pathogens and the body has all these problems- vascularity being a > major issue in ilness.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Jelly No one attacks his pathogens like me and I mean NOBODY in the world has taken more drugs than me..The only problem is that you play russian roulette when using antibiotics, many are growth stimulants for bacteria so using the wrong drugs to attack your pathogens will make you worse. This is the problem with autoimmune ilnesses when someone uses a drug that clears millions of his pathogens quickly this person will respond nicely and person 2 that just tickles his pathogens will get violently ill, often mistakenly called HERX. There has never been ONE POST on this forum about antibiotic resistant bacteria. The fact that bugs have armamements against antibiotics means that they can fire off missles to destroy incoming drugs, if you threaten them and they fire off missiles you may think your herxing.There's many commonsense things that have been poorly covered or totally ignored, and what pisses me off most is that people have thick blood and no-one tests regularly there I and R (blood thickness), it's just hearsay this will thin your blood. I have had friends that have sat thru 6 months of aspirin and the blood thickness didn't budge. > > > > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Tony, I don't think that he who takes the most drugs will win. You are VERY wrong about me playing Russian Roulette. The " few " drugs that I have taken are very specifcally targeting certain pathogens. I have NEVER used ABX throughout my life. I never used them on my kids. I don't believe in taking meds unless there are no other options. I believe in the condition I was in ABX were the only option, it was the lessor of two evils. I have Mycoplasma Fermentans, and I have tried Doxy, Cipro and finally Minocycline which proved to be my magic bullet. Mino is known to best work on Mycoplasma. I herxed severely on Doxy, which happens to be one of the prime ABX used for Lyme, but can often prove to bring on to strong of a herx, it works almost to well. I still herx on Mino and have never yet taken a full dose. The most I have taken is 50 mgs. every other day and that brings on to strong of a herx. I have made major progress with as little as 3 mgs of Mino every other day....what can I say? CWD pathogens are entirely a different bug then most. They are not like a typical bacteria. ABX do not kill them directly, so having them build up a resistance is not a concern to most doctors. I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but I would venture a guess that I know more about hypercoagulation then anyone here. A huge number of people who now know about hypercoagulation learned it from me, going back at least 4 years on the Immune Support board. When I arrived, hypercoagulation had been mentioned two times. I had already been receiving treatment for a year. I exlpained hyperrcoagulation over and over and over. Nearly getting myself banned a couple of times when one head Moderator didn't believe it. Today hypercoagualtion is a household word over at IS, it has a life of it's own. Often when I am searching hypercoagulation on Google, I come up with my own posts. Getting tested a few times is agood idea just to make sure the heparin or NattoK is working. But you can usually tell from outward appearances if your hypercoagulation is bad enough whether or not it is working. It will be more then obvious. I can even tell when I can cut back on the heparin or Natto just by observing how I bleed. I've been retested many times. My doctor now recommends Natto as a first option since my finding it and being successful with it. If you want to know about hypercoagulation, take a look at my website, there is a lot of stuff there. http://cure2003.conforums.com/index.cgi As for your friends who have used aspirin to deal with hypercoagulation/ISAC.......wrong drug. Aspirin prevents platelets from sticking together. In ISAC that isn't the primary problem, it's a build up of fibirn. Aspirin has no effect on fibrin, so you really won't see any improvement in your thickened blood. If you want to try something at home, use NattoK, bottom line. > > > > > > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Barb, Tony's post gave me an idea. I know you took very large doses of Ibuprofen for several yeras to deal with your inflammation, and quite successfully. It just occurred to me. Do you think it was thinning your blood as well?!?! Double whammy! That could explain a lot of your success with the drugs you took, plus the fact that you used very good reasoning in how you chose your drugs and how you timed them. The majority of docs are prescribing the abx mainly on guesswork and how someone else responded to them, which as Tony says, what's good for one, could be disastrous for somebody else. And his point about what seems to be a " herx " actually being the bug's toxic defenses against incoming antibiotics is also really good. Many antibiotics are made from the toxins of bacteria. So our nasty little buggers have little drug factories all their own, and they use them when they feel they're being attacked. That could definitely explain why people feel sick when they take an abx, not because it's killing bugs, but because it's causing an anti anti- bacterial defense. It's so hard to know how to guage our reactions, but when I hear someone " herxing " for months (or weeks) on a drug, I doubt very much it's really a herx. That's what Tony gets really annoyed about, and then makes outrageous statements involving the words " stupid " and " never " :-). It's because our docs don't do more simple monitoring, like testing the INR, to watch if there are any positive changes in the blood to know whether an abx is having a positive effect on us or not. penny > > > > > > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Penny, You said that you don't understand people herxing for weeks or months. Let me suggest this to you. I know I am dealing with at the very least 2 Myco infections, and I've researched them quite a bit. Mycos multiply extremely slowly. Over the many years I have been infected I no doubt have generations of Mycos, making a huge family tree. I tried to find out what the life span of a Myco is, and it seems like it was pretty long. Many months if not into a year or more. Then another factor is, they must live inside of other cells in order to survive, leaving only when that cell dies and they need a new home. Varying cells in our bodies live varying amounts of time, some being many months. The only time a Myco is affected by ABX is when it leaves it's host cell looking for a new home. It is not killed by the ABX but rather the ABX changes things so that it can't enter a new host cell. Leaving it exposed with no cell wall. This is when either our own immune system can kill it, or it dies of it own accord due to lack of cell wall. So you have a lot of variables there. The life of the pathogen/CWD, and the life of the host cell. Do you see how herxing might then go on for months, based entirely on the life of the host cell and how fast and if the CWD can enter another host where it will survive safe from ABX until that host cell dies. From what I understand Lyme and/or some of the coinfections are also CWDs and would likely react in a similar way. As far as Ibueprophen working on ISAC, it might help a little, but it still doesn't degrade fibrin, the main problem. I used to take 16 Advil a day and my hypercoagulation was SEVERE. > > > > > > > > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Penny: I researched ibuprofen previously, because I took so much of it, and yes I knew what the properties were. And because I knew what they were, I was not persuaded to switch it as my immune modulators (Ibuprofen and HCQ were both my modulators) to Benicar. I was familiar with Ibuprofen - and I knew what the interactions were.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Wow, 16 a day? I take one advil and am in severe spasms for 3 days! Yes, what you're saying makes sense. But I think the word " herx " is incorrect then. The true definition of herx is very different. And I'm not sure that I feel comfortable with the idea that such long term suffering means the treatment is all that effective, but I could definitely be wrong. Especially if someone is well in the end.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 How is the definition of a herx different? A herx is due to toxins caused by a die off. As the bugs emerge from the host cell, in search of a new home, they find themselves locked out. Then they die, and then there little dead corpses cause toxins, which cause the dreaded herx. Here is a quote from the " Road Back Foundation " . " The reaction has been attributed to liberation of endotoxins-like substances or of antigens (a substance which causes an immune reaction) from the killed or dying microorganisms. " This is as defined by Karl Herxheimer who died in 1947. He said that it usually lasted about 2 weeks. We've come a long way, and I think we know stuff now that he had no clue of. There are bugs that he had never heard of. He was mostly targeting certain Mycos. There are new Mycos that are really wiley now, like Fermentans/Incognitus. > > > > > > > > > > > > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 One thing I don't buy is hogwash, all these mycoplasma positives and negatives and fermentens are a CROC OF _____, I know many people that went that route, one lady told me over the phone she had 4 tests.. I side with doctors on mycoplasma's as exactly what most doctors feel--WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY.This girl was positive twice negative twice did the 9 plus months of treatments and really never got anywhere. The most drugs quote is when I was in the state many of the worst ill are in, you only have death staring you in the face so heavy therapy may as well kill me because at least I tried was my thought at the time.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Jelly The herx example is very wrong IMO. Where do you see someone doing microbial countts and monitoring bacteria to prove that what is being called HERX is exactly what's happening.bacteria dying and releasing toxins...When I have heavy growth I feel terrible so I must be herxing,but why do I feel absolutely brilliant when I have low growths and the therapy ploughs thru the bugs. There's a massive microbial population on everyone in these forums so watching it's growth pattern and person's level of discomfort would prove the HERX another MYTH busted.Then there's the highly resistant bacterial population that fires of missiles everytime there's a perceived threat and you don't just sit back and not feel or recognise one of these attacks because your histamine inflammatory systems are going thru the roof. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Per I feel you could possably get a great understanding of this if you looked up INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME IRS. It's virtually explainimng some of the inflammatory stuff going on in your body in response to an infection or allergy or whatever. BAsically it's something I looked at years ago looking for blood markers to prove your blood ain't what it should be. In other words to cast aside the idea everything in your bloodtests is fine.I actually tried to get tested for histamine blood-histamine urine ended up trying to do a tryptase test which is an after death marker of very high inflammation.I think when alive the level should not exceed 6. 6 was also a level a very bad asthmatic could achieve I felt oyur close to death experiences would push the tryptase level out of range and benefitted us imensley with our medical fraternities. It would be nicer to do a blood test that automatically gets us away from the all in your head doctors and gets us taken seriously. tony > > There's a massive microbial population on everyone in these forums > > so watching it's growth pattern and person's level of discomfort > > would prove the HERX another MYTH busted.Then there's the highly > > resistant bacterial population that fires of missiles everytime > > there's a perceived threat and you don't just sit back and not feel > > or recognise one of these attacks because your histamine > > inflammatory systems are going thru the roof. > > > -- > Per Sjöholm > Stockholm, Sweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Tony: Well then, I guess you're not a fan of extremely low dose taken only at intervals :-) I agree with you.. with a couple of exceptions, I used therapeutic doses and never exceeded the maximum dose for my body weight- and for some abx I had to ramp them up to the desired dose (desensiization, or bug die-off - I don't know).. I did that as quickly as I could. and I almost always weaned off abx when I stopped. I think my body developed some sort of dependancy, or compencatory mechanism while on them... and if I stayed on them for a long time, my endurance really suffered. Matter of fact, when I was finished with abx therapy, it took me over 6 months to get the strenghth back I had before going on them. I always felt weak and tired when I went off, and slowly felt better and regained strenght after going off. Personally, I think this (for me anyway) was a function of how long I stayed on them and the stage of the illness ..Shorter courses tended not to do that to me. But my 1 month on Mino (recently for my rash) was a piece of cake compared to Mino 2 years ago.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Barb My problem lies in the facts of how medicine is practised. When you get a stiff neck it's usually called meningitis because we don't have all the bells and whistles of this huge infection which is a brain infection and nervous system infection we get treated with rediculously low levels of drugs. our condition is downgraded to encephalitis a lower level of the meningitis. Chaemotherapy with antibiotics is written by a local doctor treating patients for 30 to 40 years and there's never a mention of using pill antibiotics for massive infections. He talks mg per kg and we have gone to this extreme amount to get the patient well or back from the abyss. The autoimmune trendies come up with a spastic version of events called low dosing abx. When you got meninigitis like symptoms arthritic type symptoms your at the wrong forum IMO. I do see some benefit of chiselling away at a very necrotic mush like infection, but for my liking you've got to know what your goals are and unfortunately everyone should learn to understand that they are all different. Barb when you not sick antibiotics don't do anything to you. Try taking erythromycin with this highly resistant erythromycin infection.Actually I made a boo boo by saying that because the HERX comes into play. Also I rotate and push triple therapy because the drugs miss the mark with the bugs after a month or so. So therefore you telling me you need a long tiome to recover with the wrong type of approach is 100% believable.also drugs travel in different directions some lung some bone some soft tisuue. > > > > > > > > > > > > > http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/03/050329134246.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
