Re: OT: recommend Mayo doctor

December 7, 2010

Reading your descriptions of your condition, i.e. not absorbing food

and also feeling like you are passing out if you don't get glucose

(waayyy condensing what you described). I'm getting a sense of 2

different problems. Are you losing weight & unable to gain? Or, do

you feel more like it's hypoglycemia? I do know of a couple of

people w/Lyme/CFS that have gone into extreme weight loss/emaciation

and were on the verge of dying. (When someone has cancer and gets

like that I think it's called cachexia?) One recovered with

alternative care and I don't know what happened to #2. They both did

amino acid IV's (FreAmin or Aminosyn) as part of their treatment

protocol.

It does sound like you've tried anything & everything, but I would

still not waste my money on Mayo. Most allopathic docs will only

consider 2 things - drugs or surgery.... If those are not the

solutions then they can't help you. I do agree having the ph capsule

test might at least give you some valuable info.

You also talked about having to do enemas daily, then said you aren't

constipated?

Is it just lack of peristalis (sp)? I've heard of something like

frozen gut (not exactly the right word) gut that doesn't work. Is

that more what you mean?

Good luck....

PS: I know of one gastro specialist that's written a book that

recommends starting every day with a very large glass of salt water.

He has a website and does phone consults too. I don't think he's an

MD, but his protocol wasn't expensive either....
