Guest guest Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 ....ditto on the ASO titer coming down in time, in some, perhaps most, treated as a separate issue from the inflammatory disease. In my case ASO titer 499, two series of ten day amoxicillin (during which time I ceased taking minocin, starting it again after the amox)Next titer was in the high 300's, then 329, today the 200's) Like Jodi, it's slow. I also had the sore throat issue - the doc says :there is a joint in the throat, which flares as any of the other joints. Appraoching two years on AP, I have not had a sore throat in perhaps a years time. King Alan and Jodi Fadness wrote: > April 2001 my ASO was 873. I started AP in September 2001.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 April 2001 my ASO was 873. I started AP in September 2001. I did IV's with the Iowa Doc and when they were finished Doc Sinnott put me on minocycline (for the RA) and erythrocin (for the ASO). I am allergic to penicillin. I had my ASO checked in October 2002 and it was 323. In December 2002 it was 249. Slowly but surely we're getting there! One thing to note. Before I started the AP I had a constant sore throat for basically 10 months. 2 weeks after I started the AP it went away, and I've only had a sore throat a couple times since I started! A high ASO Titer doesn't mean you have strep, it means you were recently exposed and/or are simply producing high antibodies to it. If you don't treat the strep in your system aggressively, you may as well forget the AP. The strep will take over and make it difficult, if not impossible, for the AP to work. Dr. Brown talks about this extensively in The New Arthritis Breakthrough. If you don't have a copy get your hands on one! Jodi Fadness, CD (DONA) SAHM to Ashlea (6.5yrs), Katelyn (4yrs), Lars (2yrs) AP since September 2001 and doing great!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Hi Mike! Geoff here. You wrote: > I have read that Strep has become immune to many current antibiotics. > Any recommendations on which to use? > > How about non-antibiotic therapies; anyone have ideas? -- > P.S. Hemoglobin was also very low (Anemic) so low oxygen to the cells > making it even harder to fight this disease! Any ideas on this? You'll need to get some lab work done to identify your particular variant and strain, and to which (if any) conventional Rx antibiotic it is susceptible. If it is not susceptible to Rx antibiotics, you will be left using Homeopathics or herbals. While I prefer Homeopathics personally, you may prefer herbals such as Oil of Oregano and Oil of Rosemary. HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) is an effective way to oxygenate the blood, however it tends to be very expensive. There are some " poor man's " ways though: Rent an Oxygen tank and breather from a local med supply and take in pure oxygen for limited periods of time off and on through the day. You'll need to check exposure periods and pressures. Get a HEPA filter. Turn it on and leave it running day and night in your bedroom. Make the bedroom as warm as you are comfortable and sleep nude, uncovered. Warmth opens the pores and increases respiration. The HEPA, while not providing pure oxygen, provides purified air which we all know includes nitrogen, oxygen and various other gasses.
