Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I maintain a website on Bird-flu and got an email from someone who has done a bunch of homework in an area that happens to cascade into our world Please look at http://www.bird-flu-influenza.com/folk-medicines.htm for a list of items that impact TNF-alpha and IL-6. Currently the kid is doing items that INCREASES production of cytokines TNF-a and IL-6, and we have stopped stuff that decreases (tumeric etc). She is responding very well. Whether an Increase or a Decrease is needed depends on which infection(s) are involved with each individual (CFIDS may be viral caused in some and bacterial in other, and in some both)-- hence the need to do probes of 1-4 weeks going one way or the other until the positive or negative response is clear. You should eliminate those on the other list from your supplements when you try one list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Ken A lot of what becomes L-A-W law in this autoimmunity debate is petty and poor treatment for any individual that is violently ill.GArlic kills fungus and bacteria is absolutely not true. Curcumin acts similar in nature to a dye and tends to stain bacteria possably slowing them down, and may have the added benefit of switching on your immune system to tackle a couple of microorganisms that grow straight out of the curcumin.I sort of read these things and people are won over and they think they are doing a serious alternative version of chaemotherapy. Using supplements that don't feed the inflammation is the only carefull thing we've been taught to attempt.So I suppose now we are to add to our inflammation when the bird flu strikes instead of clamping it. > > I maintain a website on Bird-flu and got an email from someone who has done a bunch of homework in an area that happens to cascade into our world Please look at http://www.bird-flu-influenza.com/folk- medicines.htm for a list of items that impact TNF-alpha and IL-6.
