Guest guest Posted February 6, 2002 Report Share Posted February 6, 2002 Norman, I'm and I live in Richmond VA. I see a Hepatologist in Charlottesville. You are so close to 's Hopkins you might want to look into that. I'm sure if I were in the DC area that's where I would go. If you are interested in Charlottesville e-mail me directly and I'll give you my doc's name and number. I love him and think he's done a great job with me. Hope all goes well for your wife. Welcome to Virginia. Mkantzle@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Hi Marilyn, I'm and I live in Richmond, VA. Sorry to hear about the transplant list but hope all is going OK as you wait. It's nice to know that there is someone else besides Joe and I in this group that lives in Virginia. Sorry we had to meet like this. The doctor I use to work for did his post graduate work at town. He loved it there and is a great MD. I am sure if he is an example of the physicians town turns out you are in excellent hands. Keep us informed RE: The Transplant List. .

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 I recall Cliff saying that he did not know about the whole Budwig protocol and just added the cottage cheese and flaxseed oil to his usual diet.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 these are examples 1. this child hears you say " oh man! " and asks mom or others if she is a man, over and over and then may be heard in the other room saying " i am not a man, i am a girl, i am ___ " <Extreme literal-mindedness. I'd maybe try to work on idioms w/her, show her that words can have two meanings. 2. you cough in one room and she is in another and she comes in to repeatedly ask if you coughed on her <Anxiety, OCD stuff, which some of the other things you describe also sound like.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 It sure sounds like you have the classic MS symptoms, though you didn't say that was your diagnosis? LDN is used to treat many other illnesses too. Have you started taking LDN yet? How long? If not, I suggest you start it ASAP. LDN is a drug that's used to stabilize your MS and halt further deterioration. Although some people have found symptom relief (my trigeminal neuralgia pain seems to have eased a little, and sessions haven't lasted as long), I suggest you not start LDN by expecting it to eliminate your MS. This is likely going to set yourself up for disappointment.

Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I also have ms 17 years now. been on ldn 5 1/2 months now, plus still taking copaxone. still feel I'm going downhill. legs getting weaker and dragging feet, especially right leg. I just want to stop progression, but I don't feel like I'm getting that. I do take lipitor, inderal, neurontin, klonipin,protonix, usually at night too. Maybe some of these interact with the ldn. I don't know. I know, by the saliva test I do have excess yeast. Been trying to get rid of that too. I hope the ldn starts working soon.. Maybe I should go up to 4.5mg. I am on 3.0 mg now. Any words of advise from anyone, that would be great. keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Hi Have you looked at: Oral Nystatin (Mycostatin, Nilstat, Nystex) over an extended period of time (continually for months) has successfully dealt with my yeast issues in the past. I have also used a 7 day treatment with diflucan (Oral Fluconazole suspension or Tablets, Itraconazole Capsules, Ketoconazole Tablets) with great success, particularly for gastrointestinal yeast. The recommendation used to be for a one-day treatment with the diflucan but has been recently changed to 7 days. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I think that this is a medically correct conclusion. You used to be able to prescribe placebo through a pharmacy years ago, but I haven't heard of that being done in years. Still, placebo can be prescribed by telling the patient to take vitamin supplements. Studies on placebo indicate that larger pills have more placebo than smaller pills and an injection has the highest placebo rate. The enthusiasm of the prescribing doctor has a lot to do with the power of the placebo effect. If an enthusiastic and compassionate doctor gave a patient a B-12 shot and a handful of supplements my guess is that the results would be significantly superior to antidepressants. > > > In a message dated 8/9/2006 4:53:32 AM Pacific Standard Time, > SSRI medications writes: > > > Along the same vein, since antidepressants are about as effective as > placebo, who not just give patients placebo? > > > > Can you rx those????
