Andy: Uveitis and Juvenille Rhuematoid Arthritis in 6 year old-HELP!!!!

[Guest guest]

Andy,

Our 6 year old daughter had unexplained foot pain for a year. Then

she got a high fever prior to chicken pox. She screamed " my

eye's " " My eye's " , then cried to sleep. Two weeks later she was

diagnosed with chronic anterior uveitis in both eyes after I noticed

a cloudy spot on her eye. She has scarring and band keratonomy. Her

vision has gone from 20/20 to 20/40 this month. They said she had

the uveitis for some time, but I wonder about the relation to the

herpes virus. She was put on pred forte and atropine eye drops. She

was evaluated for JRA and has a slightly positive ANA. The

inflammation cleared, then came back. Now she is on drops again.

The doc says 50% of the children she treats with this go blind. If

it was your child, what treatments would you pursue for the

inflammation? We have done her hair test, and listed it here, she

is child #5.

Here's what I've searched on the internet and want to know your take

on for this. LDA with biological additives, herbal inflammatory

control, the arthritis trusts antiameobic therapy, your method of

chelation, natural antivirals (which ones?), enzymes.

would you ever consider immunomodulatory therapy to preserve vision?

If not, what would you do instead?

I have heard conflicting reports on if it's ok to use high doses of

vitamin C with steroids. we had been giving her 1000 mg liposomal

vit C, quercetin, curcumin, bromelin, and kefired colostoral milk

once a day, taken her for chiropractic, but this isn't enough.
