Guest guest Posted January 19, 2002 Report Share Posted January 19, 2002 Hi Group, A few months ago I wrote and told you the story of , a newly married, newly graduated friend of my son's who was blind-sided by what was diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis just as he was beginning his life as an adult. He sought out the best rheumatologist at the University of Washington, only to have prednisone, methotrexate and Enbrel recommended. By coincidence he happened to call me, asking for my son's phone number and he also mentioned his health issues. I just about climbed through the phone to tell him that there was indeed another choice in his treatment! Thankfully, listened. (I had told him to read EVERYTHING from the www.rheumatic.org www.immed.org www.mercola.com www.roadback.org and Henry Scammell's book, The New Arthritis Breakthrough, so he would be able to plead his case and not back down.) At his next appointment with the UW rheumy, he asked about the antibiotic treatment. The rheumy told him that she was knowledgeable about the Minocin and thought it would be the best treatment for him. (I'm still angry that she didn't prescribe it FIRST, but still, progress is being made.) Here it is, just four months after starting the Minocin, 's heartwarming story. I have no doubt that he will continue to see great progress down the road. Take care, Connie "Hi Connie, I have been doing really well the past 6 weeks. My SI jointsseem to be almost 100%. The only problems I have is back pain. My lowerback really keeps me up at night sometimes. I usually take between800-1600 mg of Ibprofen, then seems too help out alot. But I am still aton better then what I was a few months ago. It used to take me a good15 minutes to get out of bed and then I would have to apply ice packs for20 minutes before I was able to take a shower. Now I can get right outof bed with only a little back stiffness and that usually goes away aftermy shower and some moving around. I am going to continue with theMinocin, it seems to be working just fine for me, even better then theprednison. The minocin has been a huge relief! It is so nice to be ableto put my own clothes on with out Christals help, that was getting to bereally depressing. I did find out that I also tested positive for theB29 protein (i believe thats the one) in my blood, which they say is apositive test for Psoriatic Arthritis. I don't know if the minocin worksfor that either, but either way, I feel close to normal, thank you somuch for referring me to it!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2002 Report Share Posted January 19, 2002 Connie, That is a wonderful story. Tell your young friend he might purchase a good quality Colostrum powder from the Health Store, and take it sublingually. Let it slowly dissolve under the tongue, then drink a 10-oz glass of water (tastes ok, like milk). I was having back pain that nothing seemed to help. Finally, I decided to try this (after trying several other things prior to it). Amazingly, within only 2 to 3 days, it made an amazing difference that continued. I did a lot of research, have files on it in my PC, if you are interested. It's logical, for it addresses organisms in the gut, which may be causing your young friend these problems. bg > Hi Group, > > A few months ago I wrote and told you the story of , a newly married, newly graduated friend of my son's who was blind-sided by what was diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis just as he was beginning his life as an adult.
