Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Dearest Rogene: This was in one of my lab reports from the infectious disease specialist, he also stated that Dr.T.Tredget a plastic surgeon at the UofA will perform more surgery for removal of silicone affected nodes in her right axilla in the near future. When we met with Dr.Tredget he refused to do the surgery, he claimed that he was going to start implanting women again....now that we know that breast implants are safe. This doctor is a burn specialist, he would be perfect to clean me out. This hospital is highly funded by Dow and BMS!!! Laboratory investigations included very markedly positive immune complexes? What does this all mean, my doctors have told me that I have an immune problem, but will it get better? I only get yeast infections in my mouth and upper GI area, I'm back on nystatin.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Lea, Chances are very high that you have a systemic yeast/fungal problem. Why would I think so? Because you're on long term antibiotics. Antibiotics kill of the beneficial bacteria that keeps us healthy. As long as you have to take antibiotics or steroids, you need to be treating for systemic fungal problems. Nystatin is a good medication for getting these problems under control Diflucan is excellent too. But there are natural products like garlic and oil of oregano that will do the same thing more safely. When anyone takes one of these anti-fungals or probiotics and has a bad reaction, it is an indication that there is a fungal problem. If there was none, there would be no reaction to the probiotics! While you are taking any prescription antifungal medications you MUST drink plenty of water. The die-off of these organisms is toxic. You must flush them as soon as possible, or risk serious liver problems. Once the negative organisms have been brought under control, it's necessary to repopulate your system with beneficial organisms. That's where Primal Defense comes in. . . . Or organic, naturally fermented foods, raw milk, etc. As to what they mean when they say you have an autoimmune problem? I don't know! . . . If you'll read Rubin's book " Patient Heal Thyself " , you'll see that he reports outstanding results from patients who have been diagnoses with a host of auto-immune illnesses using his diet and supplement based therapy. There's a new book " The Gold Coast Diet " . . . The diet recommendations are similar to what we suggest here. The author's wife's multiple sclerosis has gone into " remission " since she started eating a healthy diet. Love, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
