Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Janet: I would " suggest only, " as an educational projection matter, because I am not a medical doctor, that you discuss with your medical specialist the idea of prescribing Sporanox (now) on a " personal " clinical trial basis. In having observed people on this drug in the past it is suggested only that your doctor develop a treatment process with this drug on a tolerance basis dividing a capsule into four even sections and taking first 1/4 x daily for about a week, then increasing in increments of 1/2 x 7 days, 3/4 x 7 days until such time as a full capsule is tolerated well. Then continuous of 1 x every two days with consistent medical monitoring of the liver and blood for results. This would all be at your medical doctor's discretion of course. As an environmental health researcher having viewed much of the science involving mold exposures and cancer formation (through genetic mutation), educationally speaking, I have seen the advantages of this type of program. Additionally, a diet of no smoking/tobacco, no alcohol, and a serious sugar-reduction diet would also be suggested to your physician as well as (if your community has one) a formal medically-supervised hyperbaric chamber treatment regiment. This would then be followed by a clinically-supervised " aquasize " (water exercise) physical development/rehabilitation program of about 2-3 times a week 30-minute sessions. This whole program as educationally-presented would cover perhaps an 8-10 week period. By that time any positive changes to your health should positively be experienced with evidence of either rapid reduction of your medical problem or complete remission. That is, if I am correct, and only your doctor should be the decision maker as all of this has been observed as " piecemeal " at present, and only can be viewed as speculative at best. Hope this helps. Let me know what your physician has to say. God Bless you and your continuing quest for improved health. Doug Haney EnviroHealth Research & Consulting, Inc.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I don't think mine has ever reached that degree. However, I've had esophogitis so many times I can't count and I've feared that would happen. I have a hiatel hernia that I have to keep a close eye on and am very careful of my esophogus. I sleep on a 10 inch slant, I never lie flat. I eat hours before going to bed. Sometimes I take prilocec for a couple of weeks to let it heal. I've learned how to pull the stomach out of the diaphragm. Is this your issue? I think once you get this taken care of you can keep it from happening again.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm almost sure that there has been research that shows that a toxin in Alternaria can cause Barrett's esophagus. It was a while ago and on another computer that had a major and nasty disk crash and I have not been able to find it again but if you look on PubMed some of you might be able to find it and if you do please post the link.. Trichothecene mycotoxins (stachy, fusarium, trichoderma, some others) are very, very powerful and not uncommon in indoor mold situations, unfortunately, and they clearly cause MAJOR cell death on tissues they touch in concentration and there are many animal studies that show all sorts of esophageal stuff coming out of that..

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Okay, here it is... TOXICOLOGIC PATHOLOGY, vol 29, no 4, pp 492– 497, 2001 Copyri ght C 2001 by the Soci et y of Toxi cologi c Pat hology Environmental Pathology Analysis of Toxic Effects of Alternaria Toxins on Esophagus of Mice by Light and Electron Microscopy HAYREDDIN YEKELER,1 KAZIM B ÇITM ÇI S ̧ ,2 NURTEN ̈OZC ̧ ELÇIK,3 MEHMET Z.

Aquatic Sciences Fisheries Faculty, Fõrat University, Elazõ Æg, Turkey ABSTRACT In t his study, the possible toxic effects of Alternariol Methyl Ether (AME) and Tenuazonic Acid (TeA) produced by Alternaria species on esophagus of mice were investigated by using light and electron microscopy techniques . Mice were orally fed daily wit h AME or TeA for 10 months and at the end of this period , the effects of these chemicals on the esophageal mucosa were determined . By light microscopic examination , moderate and severe dysplasia characterized by loss of polarity, nuclear pleomorphism , and hyperchromasia were observe d in TeA-treated animals . Electron- microscopic examination of TeA-treat ed mucosal epithelial cells revealed pyknosis in some nuclei , granulation and increase i n chromatin mass, irregularities in the nuclear contours , vacuolization in nucleoplasms , and marked pleomorphism in the nuclei . In conclusion , our results suggested that TeA has higher toxicity as evi dence d by dysplasti c transformation . Keywords. Alternariol methyl ether ; histopathology ; mycotoxin ; tenuazonic acid.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 For stomach ulcers has anyone tried one of the coating drugs to protect, to give them time to heal, like mentioned below. This was a veternarian issue: " Medical treatment of ulcerative esophagitis includes, but may not be limited to, administering a Sulcralfate liquid for at least fourteen days and Prednisone on a declining schedule. Sulcralfate has the ability to form an ulcer-adherent complex that covers the ulcer site and protects it against further attack by gastric acid. Over the counter products are not effective.
