and maybe this will explain and untangle the mystery. Our immune systems are in

place to kill off invading bacteria and viruses. We get these Rheumatoid type

diseases like Lupus, Scleroderma, R/A, Sarcoidosis Ankylosing Sponylitis, etc:

which cause inflammation, pain and debilitates us. The old school of Rheumy's

were taught to give medications that suppress the immune response in our

systems, so that we initially feel better. But we continue to get sicker and

eventually die from the complications of the drugs. The new school, and very few

doctors have learned or accepted this yet, is that these diseases are caused by

a slow growing type of minimicrobe called micoplasma, of which there are many

kinds, and most people have been exposed to them w/o getting sick. It is only

when an overabundance of them have accumulated in the body that we become sick.

And the reason is that our immune system,

which is a built in mechanism to fight off bacteria and viruses, has become

overwhelmed and can no longer function. This is called a TH 1 disease. When I

got sick with Scleroderma, my group of Rheumatologists told me I was terminal

and that they could only treat the symptoms with these Immune suppressants.

They offered me humira, remicade, thalidomide, steroids, plaquenil and such.

But they also were up front and told me that my lungs had maybe two or three

years before I would succumb and die. Well, I refused to suppress my Immune

system and did my own research. Here's what I read: Micoplasmas are the cause

of these type of diseases. That is called " The Infectious Theory. " There have

been successful trials where people have, not only gotten better, but have gone

into remission by using antibiotics. This is called " Antibiotic Protocol " now

called A/P for short. My thought was that if I was going to die anyway, I may

as well try it. I didn't know exactly how it

worked at that time, but I started on Minocin 100mg twice a day in January of

2006. Exactly 18 months later this past May, I went into remission. I am still

on the Minocin and feeling great. My doctor who told me I would die, is totally

amazed. My symptoms have even regressed and my lungs are fine. What I found

out along the way because I am still researching the field is that antibiotics

do not kill the micoplasmas, they are first an antiinflammatory and second they

only weaken the micoplasma, not kill them. It is the immune system becoming

stronger that starts to work again that kills them. Meanwhile, I began working

on enhancing or boosting my immune system and that's another whole subject. I am

now at a point where my micoplasma count is tolerable and my immune system is

doing it's work properly and I am feeling very well. However, I am not cured

and that is my next project. In the fall, I plan on going up the ladder one

more notch and start another protocol

called the Marshall Protocol or M/P. This is a 3 phase protocol which is still

part of the A/P, only a bit more intense and uses more antibiotics and a blood

pressure lowering drug which has shown to be more effective in weakening the

micoplasma. This protocol must be monitored by an M.D. who understands the cause

and effect of the disease process and is willing to take the time to study it

and speak with Trevor Marshall himself, the inventor of the protocol. Now a

note on micoplasmas. They are very slow growing and very slow dying. They are

nasty when being attacked by the immune system. When they die, they emit a

toxin. This is called a herx. It makes us very ill and can even be dangerous

in the hands of the wrong doctor. We are fooled into thinking that the process

is not working when actually we are getting better. I am in the process of

assembling a team of doctors. This disease has taken out a big chunk of my time

and energy, but it has been worth it. I

will be 71 next month. Longevity runs in my family. My mom is 93 and doing

fine. My dad died at 90 from emphysema because he smoked all his life. My

great grandmother passed in her sleep at 107, so I am not going to break the

chain. When I am done with all this, I am writing a book with the help of my

doctors, a friend with a science background who helped me amass the information

and all the wonderful people I have met along the way who are volunteering their

stories. My husband and I work with several foundations who are excited about

the project. I am already a published author, but have never taken on a project

of this magnitude. Please keep me in your prayers. I hope you all get well.

The world needs to know that there is hope. For those of you who are suffering,

I Know! I am one of you. Been there! We have you in our hearts and wish you

well.. You are the reason I am writing the book. By the way, I am a retired

nurse. I used to make placebos. A gel

capsule with a bit of sugar in them. Don't be fooled. Maybe your mind can

fool you into getting better, but your body will be able to differentiate. We

gave these out instead of pain pills at night. Most people relaxed themselves

thinking they had a pain pill and fell asleep on their own. Aaaaah! such is the

power of the mind. Good luck to all of you.

AP was a hoxe. After my words with him, he offered to

refund his office visit money and cancel the blood

tests he already drew blood for. He knew he was wrong

about AP, but the drug companies are paying him too

well to contradict them, so he said.
