Guest guest Posted January 30, 2003 Report Share Posted January 30, 2003 This is a note I wrote to Dr. R. St. Amand, and following I quote some of the nanobacteria information and then his response. Apparently guaifenesin might help fight the calcium accumulations and the nanobacteria (and quite possibly the intracellular Mycoplasma, since the FM lesions are low in oxygen and might provide a safe-haven for the microbes). So, I encourage anyone who wants to do so, to share this information. I also want to mention that I believe fibromyalgia lesions are probably very common in autoimmune diseases. A study showed that more than half of lupus patients also had fibromyalgia according to tender point examinations and I would suspect that using Dr. St. Amand's mapping method, they percentage would be even higher. For more information, see www.guaidoc.com or <A HREF= " http://members.aol.com/SynergyHN/ " > www.members.aol.com/SynergyHN</A> My email to Dr. St. Amand: <<How's it going? Anything new? I thought I'd send you some posts I got in a rheumatic.org group. I guess there are some calcium deposits in FM as well as the intracellular Ca and P and it occurred to me that there might be some common interests, as quoting from below: " Agents that block mineralization or dissolve apatite also look promising for the treatment of nanobacteria and kidney stones. " Might guai help or might they have info. that would be of interest to us? What do you think? It's interesting too that the tetracyclines are some of the most common antibiotics used for mycoplasma and Lyme, infections found in a lot of FM patients. I don't have time right now to follow up on it or contact those involved, but perhaps you or someone else would be interested in doing it. Warmly, Joyce << Nanobacteria are dwarf forms of bacteria, mostly 0.05 to 0.2 micrometers, about one-tenth the diameter and 1/1000 the volume of ordinary bacteria. They are on the frontier of science. Researchers have shown that nanobacteria grown in the laboratory produce calcium phosphate formations, much like those found in kidney, gall, and bladder stones. Many of our chronic diseases may be due to nanobacteria that wall themselves off inside of calcium deposits, becoming resistant to antibiotics Nanobacteria testing and treatment are available from nanobacLabs. Their web page http://www.nanobaclabs.com/nanobaclabs-nanobacteria-what-are-nanobacteria.asp claims: " Available by physician prescription only, NanobacTX and UroBac are the only effective treatments to eradicate nanobacterial infections. The urine screening test, nanobacTEST-U/A is available as is the comprehensive nanobacTEST-S bloodtest for Nanobacterial Antigen and Antibodies. At this time, both nanobacTEST methods are available only through nanobacLabs participating physicians. Call NanobacLabs TollFree at 1-877-676-2241 to arrange for testing through a participating research physician in your area. " The following are also informative web pages: http://naturalscience.com/ns/articles/01-03/ns_folk.html http://www.nanobaclabs.com/nanobaclabs-nanobacteria-what-are-nanobacteria.asp http://forum.lef.org/forum23/topic1000173.html This last web page includes this intriguing text, which is right in line with the AP, which uses minocycline, a tetracycline class antibiotic: " The eradication of nanobacteria from human blood, tissues, calcifications and stones focuses on antibiotic therapies. Nanobacteria are highly sensitive to tetracycline antibiotics. Agents that block mineralization or dissolve apatite also look promising for the treatment of nanobacteria and kidney stones. " Sincerely, Harald >> The following is Dr. St. Amand's response (note that when he refers to the " old drugs " he means the uricosuric gout drugs they used to use to get rid of the fibromyalgia lesions by boosting phosphate excretion before they found that guaifenesin worked better). << The kidney stone part is well-known. Benemid, the first of our old drugs, was reproted to decrease or clear some patients with calcific tendinosis. We have seen all of the drugs ease and sometimes stop kidney stone formation. R. St. Amand, M.D. 4560 Admiralty Way Marina del Rey, CA. 90292 (310) 577-7510 For more information see: www.fibromyalgiatreatment.com >> See my other post about fibromyalgia for an excerpt of Dr. St. Amand's information summarizing his approach.
