Guest guest Posted March 29, 1999 Report Share Posted March 29, 1999 Dr. Green, I would like to take the time to tell you that you are all wet. I think before you jump to conclusions about the AP you should talk to some of the success cases. Some of them were patients of Dr Browns and some of them are current patients working with Dr. Franco in California and some with Dr. Mercola in Chicago. If more Drs. would just listen to their patients as much as they listen to the drug salesmen who come into their office. They would surely understand a whole lot more of the real problems of RA and the conventional drugs. At least the dose of Minocyclene that I am on is not doing the damage to my body that the conventional so called good drugs of choice do. I've been there and done that and believe me it is not a good feeling to know that you are getting worse by the day where the RA is concerned and you have already been through most of the drugs of choice and your Dr. does not know what to give you next. It is not fun. Your life has changed, you can no longer go to work, your income has been depleted, the drugs you have been on has slowed down your body functions to where sometimes you find it hard to even urinate. Your blood pressure has gone sky high and you have spent 10 or more years doing everything your Drs. have suggested. I guess I am not going to die of RA just from kidney failure, or liver failure or any of a number of other good things but at least it will not be from RA. Well NO thank you, I have been on the AP for about 7 months and it is the first improvement I have seen in 10 years. My Dr. does not want to go all the way with the AP so I guess I will just have to make an appointment and see Dr. Franco. Because, I am going to get better, in spite of the run of the mill medical profession. I at least have some days now where I don't have to take the pain meds to get through the day and that is something I did not have before the AP. I find my self saying it won't be long before I can do this or that. I no longer feel like my life is ending right before my eyes. When we are ready willing and able to be guinea pigs and try this way, with meds that do not have the side effects of the conventional ones, why is it that you people don't want to listen to us. There are a lot of good success stories out there. You should try the long term use of large doses of prednisone and after a year or so tell me that you really appreciate what it is doing for you and to you. The same goes for the methotrexate, or gold shots or plaquenil they all are nasty drugs and they do not cure a thing, they just kind of mask them. While at the same time destroying the parts of your body that were ok. Sincerely, Jessie L. P.S. go to the rheumatic.org website and read the histories that are there. You might even want to call some of those people and check it out. It really makes more sense than just hoping it will go away. APsupport@...
