Marie: re handout

[Guest guest]

Marie-

Anything you can do to get the whole handout posted

would be appreciated. I also have chlamydia p. and

would love to have anything which would lessen the

herx. Are you doing the Stratton or Wheldon protocals

for the infection: ie doxy + zith + pulses of flagyl?

Thanks ,

This helps. I know about the MP etc and using blood

pressure meds but

I had never seen Zestril mentioned. I didn't know the

difference in BP

meds. I wondered why if he was perscribing BP meds

that he did not

perscribe Benicar.

Zestril is being perscribed as part of a comprehension

plan to reduce

of get rid of endotoxins.

This such greek to me. I think it should be mandatory

for anyone to go

to med school or at the very least take a chemistry

class before they

could become ill with one of these chronic infections.

My Dr. is good about explaining things. He provides

handouts along the

way. I have hard time processing everything he says so

I appreciate the

handout.

This is what this had out says.

Both Chlamydia and Mycoplasma (I have been dx with

both) release

endotoxins while they are alive and much more is

released when they are

killed with antibiotics. Elevated endotoxin levels are

associated with

neaurotoxicity(anxiety, insomnia, cognitive

impairment), endocrine changes

(hypotension, lowbodytemp) euthyroid syndrome, HPA

dysfunction) and

inflammation. Endotoxin is responsible for septic

shock and has been

linked to asthma, diarrhea, low blood pressure, muscle

pain and nerve

toxicity. The following measures can be taken to

minimixe the impact of

endotoxin.

Number 2 on the handout lists:

2.) Bolcking NF kappa B and Angiotension with ACE

inhibitors/nutrition.

a.) Zestril (lisinopril) 10-40mg. INcrease

gradually, ACE inhibition

reduces headache, anxiety, depression and appetite.

lLowers NF kappa B

activity which controls inflammation.

Perhaps if I have time I will figure out how to scan a

copy of the

protocol so you can see his logic as he draws pictures

also.

He is a young Dr. who is constantly studying how best

to treat

Fibromyalgia. The protocol is comprehensive. I know I

am responding to his

treatment ideas but it is really a full time job.

Almost every hour I have

to be thinking about what pill or supplement to pop

into my mouth.

I feel fortunate to have him.
