dermatomyositis, I need a new doctor:)

November 10, 2006

Hello,

Is there anyone out there that could recommend a doctor in Georgia

that is familiar with Antibotic Protocol and has treated patients

with dermatomyositis? I am 33 years old and have had dermatomyositis

since 1995. Since 2002 I have been unable to walk more than a few feet

or get up from a seated position without help. I just read Scleroderma

The Proven Therapy That Can Save Your Life and tried to convince my

doctor to treat me with Minocin, but to no avail. When I came down

with the first symptoms of my disease I went to a dermotologist and he

said I had adult acne and treated me with Minocin. I took it for two

years. About a year after I stopped using Minocin all hell broke

loose. I was later diagnosed with Scleroderma and then again later my

disease took on more of the dermatomyositis symptoms. I am positive

that the Minocin helped me for the onset of my disease even though I

did not even know it. If anyone has any info. that could be helpful to

me please email me at jennyrada2002@....

Thanks!!

Jen

Hi Jen,

These are the doctors we have listed in Georgia. I don't know if any of

these doctors have treated dermatomyositis specifically but the

treatment is the same as for rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. Sentef is very

experienced.

Jen,

I know of two ways that someone can find an AP doctor, using two websites:

1) American College for the Advancement in Medicine www.acam.org

There is a referral section. From the home page, go to " Public " / " Find a

Doctor " . Enter your zip code, city, or state.

2) International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists (IACP) www.iacprx.org

There is a referral section. From the home page, go to " Referral Service " .

Find the compounding pharmacist nearest you, and ask them who they'd recommend

for the condition that you have, or the protocol that you want to use.

Also, make sure that you're using the brand name Minocin. You can get it

inexpensively at www.rxcarecanada.com it's only $147 for 100 capsules of 100mg.

Almost as cheap as the generic under prescription drug coverage. If you have

prescription drug coverage, talk your doctor into writting " DAW " (dispense as

written) on your Minocin prescription to avoid a generic with questionable

effectiveness.

After being diagnosed with RA 2 years ago, I have only recently learned that I,

and I alone, am responsible for making sure that I get good health care. The

government certainly isn't going to do it. But, neither is a conventional or a

holistic doctor. And, while I choose to work with a holistic doctor for the vast

majority of my health care, I still feel obligated to question everything that

they do. They are busy, and they make mistakes, or have oversights. Hopefully,

you have already learned that as well.
