Hi Dan:

Many do fly as airline passengers soon after THR usually because they

have had their surgery away from home so they must fly to be able to

return home. By some accounts it can be done but also can be

uncomfortable and even dangerous. " A study...advises people who've

just undergone major orthopaedic surgery not to fly for at least

three months because of the risk of developing Deep Vein Thrombosis

which could be fatal. " See this link for the complete story

http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/s801556.htm

The best thing to do would be to ask your surgeon when he feels it

would be safe for you to fly and for precautions to take while

flying. Possible precautions might include wearing TED stockings,

doing ankle pumps, getting up and walking around frequently, drinking

plenty of fluids, etc.

Joan, I'm not a doctor, but I'd say You'll never know until you try. VCO has

helped in an astonishing array of illnesses. Why not rectum cancer, too? I

would suggest using it internally and topically. What does the patient have to

lose?

For the baby godzilla, can an on/off switch be installed in one of the

leads? And maybe a potentiometer in the other? ......without ruining it's

efficacy? bob

[Guest guest]

Yes, I added a 0-1 milliamp meter a three way switch (on+, center off, on-) and

a potentiometer. The difference of course is that I can now switch polarity

with the switch and I can set the micro current. I usually set the microcurrent

at about 500 microamps.

[Guest guest]

your 3 way switch has to be: dpdt with center off. you can find

shots of such a switch in the godzilla 4 battery photos section,

which also shows exactly how to wire it up so it will do the

reversing of polarity. It's simple, but you can check against these

photos to compare.

Any resistor can be put on either output leads wire or wire to the

battery in either direction of the resistor's leads. It will work

the same way. They are not directional. They just interfere with

current trying to flow through the circuit. They act like a

blockage, plain and simple. The higher the ohms value the more is

blocked. Be sure you distinguish between ohms and kohms..it's 1000

to 1.

Bob,

That wouldn't reduce the efficiency of the godzilla at all, I would use

a double pole single throw switch to reverse polarity easily. A three

position switch would be awesome, one polarity to the left, off in the

middle, and the other polarity to the right.

If you're using a potentiometer you might want to put a current meter in

series so you can see what the potentiometer is doing.

My 2 cents....

Can someone tell me how to access whatever

information exists on the interaction of ldn and the interferon-based CRAB

drugs (excluding copaxone)? I have read many recent posts commenting

on this subject (including information about the upcoming SF trial) but

am curious about the source of the information. Thanks.

See the second question on the further Q and A page of the LDN

website.

http://www.low dose naltrexone.org/further_q_and_a.htm

And here is Dr. Bob Lawrence's views on LDN and the

immunosuppressants. Dr. Lawrence has MS and takes LDN as his MS

treatment.

When starting this LDN(Low Dose Naltrexone) therapy in the treatment

of MS, there may also be some initial transient, though temporary,

increase in MS symptoms.

Experience in using this method has demonstrated most commonly, such

as disturbed sleep, occasionally with vivid, bizarre and disturbing

dreams, tiredness, fatigue, spasm and pain. These increased symptoms

would not normally be expected to last more than seven to ten days.

Rarely, other transient symptoms have included more severe pain and

spasm, headache, diarrhea or vomiting. These additional symptoms

would appear to be associated with the previous frequent use of

strong analgesics, which effectively create an addiction and

dependency, thus increasing the body's sensitivity to pain. This

temporary increase in symptoms may also perhaps be explained when we

consider the manner in which this drug is expected to work.

Initially, MS occurs due to a reduction in the activity of the

controlling influence of the suppressor T-cells within the immune

system. During an acute relapse, the overall number of T-cells is

reduced, the normal balance of helper T-cells and suppressor T-cells

is disrupted and the damaging helper (CD-4) T-cells tend to

predominate. This is the situation most pronounced during an acute

relapse but occurs similarly, but to a lesser extent, in chronic

progressive MS. Under the influence of LDN there will be an expected

increase in the overall numbers of T-cells but, because the CD-4,

helper T-cells tend to predominate at this time, an increase in

their numbers will expectedly tend to increase MS symptoms. It is

only when the numbers of suppressor T-cells effectively " catch up "

that the normal balance is restored and symptoms once again diminish

and improve.

In addition, because LDN stimulates the immune system and many of

the drugs routinely used by the NHS in the treatment of MS further

suppress the immune system, LDN cannot be used in company with

steroids, beta interferon, methotrexate, azathioprine or

mitozantrone or any other immune suppressant drug. If there is any

doubt, please submit a full list of the drugs you are presently

taking so that their compatibility may be assessed.

In addition, because LDN will also block the analgesic effects of

any opiate drugs (includes codeine, dihydrocodeine, morphine,

pethidine or diamorphine) presently being taken, the use of LDN will

initially greatly increase the level of pain experienced. It is

therefore advisable that any opiate-like drugs be discontinued at

least two weeks before this treatment is initiated. When starting

the treatment it is essential that any untoward or adverse side-

effects are reported immediately so that the treatment process can

be further assessed and, if necessary, modified.

Dr. M R Lawrence

Hi ,

This is a load of codswallop (whatever that is?). Find a new doctor! That may have been his first day to hear the word cholesteatoma. What happens with q-tips is that you push dirt/dead skin downward instead of outwards like we think (some dirt/wax does come out on the q-tip). I still use q-tips gently . . . I don't like my ears to feel dirty.

When I went to see the ENT chap under my new health insurance, he told me that he hardly saw any cholesteatomas. He said he was based in Hawaii and saw lots there because of the testing.

That said, if I ever try to use q-tips / cotton buds, I always get an ear infection and in fact in the UK they have found a strong link.

, I've always had health insurance, I'm not poor and I'm very clean. I was born with a defective eustation tube. That led to my ear aches, which led to a burst ear drum that led to my c-toma. And I went to more than 5 doctors before the c-toma was found because they insisted that it was normal to have ear aches as an adult. Your doctor is full of bull. I would consider choosing another doctor. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. 1 Th 5:24Sent from my iPhone On Feb 22, 2010, at 10:06 PM, "" <amandajlear@...> wrote:

I don't think it has anything to do with your wealth status, unless you shove

dollar bills or pound notes in your ears. lol

But seriously, my doctor said that it was probably caused by my eustacian tube

having a negative pressure and pulling back my eardrum.

Hi ,

 

What was the treatment you did in Asia that helped you when

you were trying to overcome your cancer.

,

In October of '09 I was given an official diagnosis of invasive rectal

cancer after months of insistence by a Kaiser Permanente gastroenterologist

that I was perfectly healthy. (Does this sound familiar?) At that time they

recommended chemo, radiation, and surgery. (And does this sound familiar?)

My health was plummeting and the rapidly increasing pain and colon

obstruction limited what I was capable of doing for myself. (I know this

must be familiar to many.)

There was nothing I was willing to do in the US, Mexico, or Europe. I have

seen too many people go to too many clinics, get rescued for a while, and

then sink. I have good medical connections in China and I had access to

advanced therapies there. My choice was to do a simple resection along with

preoperative photodynamic therapy, intrasurgical photodynamic therapy, and

post-surgical photodynamic therapy. I went to Shenzhen, China during the

middle of November and started the PDT. During this time the cancer grew

extremely rapidly and a simple surgical resection was no longer possible.

It had progressed from stage 2 to stage 4, and I was so crippled that it was

questionable that I could even return to California.

I did return at the end of December. I could do nothing to help myself; I

could eat nothing more than an occasional buttered saltine. The cancer had

invaded all pelvic organs, lungs, and I had two fractures in my sacrum from

the invasion. I became obsessed with avoiding surgery, but agreed to chemo

and radiation. There is nothing quite like the experience of being splayed

naked from the waist down on the radiation table while vomit and diarrhea

pours out.

I was able to take supplements to help me through the chemo and these did

work. I did not risk supplementation for the radiation as I was afraid of

ulceration. The radiation (February, 2010) was very painful. During the

following couple of months I worked on trying to walk, regaining stamina,

and gaining weight. Pain subsided, some shrinkage was achieved, and I was

capable of getting off narcotics, strategizing, and going to my lab. During

the summer of 2010 I was told I would be dead by October without surgery - a

pelvic exenteration which would leave me permanently without lower colon,

bladder, or any hope of any other pelvic function. I decided that the only

things I needed from the oncologists were an occasional MRI and PET-CT, so I

stopped seeing them.

I became very diligent about taking the meds I made and the supplements I

purchased. I would also do saunas with sensitizers at my Center. My diet

was not as disciplined as it could have been, but I didn't particularly

worry as every couple of months the diagnostic imagery showed improvement.

My last PET-CT (December, 2010) showed no evidence of cancer. I expected

this as I had regained 100% of my health, and this includes bowel, bladder,

and sexual function in addition to regaining all lost weight, and for the

last six months I have worked full time.

When I reflect back it is hard to imagine myself as having been so sick or

in such pain. There were bouts with pain that were so great that part of my

mind wanted me to die, but then the other part wanted to hang on. My mother

died of cancer when I was a child and I didn't want my two sons to lose a

parent. I still take a fistful of supplements twice a day.

The Chinese were not able to help me, but not for want of trying. I

received excellent care there and I do think that within a decade they will

have the most advanced techniques available anywhere. In China I have seen

a professional medical conscientiousness that I have not seen elsewhere.
