Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Tony I like to know how to get my hands dirty soo to speak. I used to (before illness got to bad) to work with system design and verification doing problem solving. I'm not sure that only abx will help. A readjustion(rebalance) of our controll system migth be needed. The case migth be that the balance has shifted and in that way allowing the bacteria to be successful. The first point is to starting get rid of the bacteria. This means I like to be able to se results from doing treatments, to verify what things actually does what it's suposed to. I'm trusting your teori that by watching the bacterias reaction to abx it's possible to get better. I still want the 1-2-5-10-20 years following up. Yes at least 5 year in 'remission' 1 year is not enough, but a good start. Lets get practical. Help us out what exactly we need and please by specific and this would be useful for us to learn how to aply the accelertor(the treatment) and watch a speedometer(verify how the treatment is working). Sue has given a clue, but more is needed. Sue I gues this is the link to the microscope you have. http://www.brunelmicroscopes.co.uk/blood-cell.html /Per Tensevern wrote: > Tony > > The microscope is a Brunel Haemoscope with a camera to feed images into > the PC.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Per You must do everything and more to get back on track. This infection likes certain foods, I try not to eat inflammation causing foods (candida style is close enough). Environmentally these bacteria need a small amount of CO2 so you must try and push the co2 out and pump in oxygen. This cycle also helps your body heal much better than the slow healing time all normally experience with any injuries, something that would have helped barb get over her strange rash..Then you must know your antibiotics I feel the best drug for autoimmune is cephalothin, cefazolin.But these drugs singly are not necessarily strong enough so may need support from vancomycin untiol a week after when it builds resistance.Then you need to add tobramycin or gentamicin even streptomycin, the duration is an individual thing how rotten are you is what matters.I think ceftriaxone is useless never seen any good come from it a lady thru a clot while on it. Just be carefull. Doxy and mino can be succesfull if you have got beautifull veins and nice blood you can go along way with these but they don't cure many people IMO. > > Tony > > > > The microscope is a Brunel Haemoscope with a camera to feed images into > > the PC.

It's overspec'd for the job - nice but not necessary if you want to see Bb filaments. I put some pictures of my blood on EuroLyme a while back (different colour backgrounds are colour shifts from different cameras, nothing significant): http://snipurl.com/cf8m Although we have dark field capability we don't use it often - too much trouble to set up. We don't use the x100 objective because it needs oil to get a good image & that messes the slide. We don't use an eyepiece either, just the camera & a feed to the PC. As you see, we're not microscopists or biologists, we're just looking to get results (begins to sound a bit like Tony, doesn't it? <g>) Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2005 Report Share Posted May 29, 2005 Hi Lene These photos were taken about 12 hours after the slide was prepared. This time gives the filaments time to appear. Immediately after the slide is prepared, when the blood is fresh, the red blood cells do not have those projections on them. My thoughts are that the cells are in a restricted oxygen & nutrient environment and are slowly degrading.
