Looking fo a cure.

January 10, 2006

Hello Everyone,

I'm back! I'm in pursuit of a cure. We all are looking for magic

pill that will rid us of this terrible disease. The first step is to

accept that you have pa. When you wonderful people go to the rheumy

office and visit the Dr. is there a lot of people in the waiting

room? Every time I walk into the waiting and look at the people I want

to say " Wake up people this isn't right " .Do you think for one second

that if they had magic pill that would cure your Arthritis they would

prescribe it? No, they would not. They would be out of business! I

used see a very good Rheumy in the Seattle area and he told me

this, " the pharmaceutical companies help doctors through med school

and setup their practices, in return they prescribe their drugs " . I

do not believe they are telling us what they really know about

Arthritis. I do see my rheumy every three months so he can monitor

the symptom directed treatment that I'm on. The cure that we will

find will not be from Mainstream Medicine! Pa is a digestive disorder

of some kind. That's why the amoxacilian helped me for a short time

(it cleaned out my digestive system).

Has anyone ever heard of Dr. Edger Cayce and his treatment for

psoriasis?

More to come.

Thanks,

J Hauck

gets rich on people's desperation. Kathy F.]

Hello ,

I wonder, how did you ever get so jaded? I firmly believe that most

people are kind and caring and generally honest. They take pride in

trying to do the best job they possibly can.

I'm in total agreement with Kathy F. I'll go one step further and

call Cayce an out and out quack.

Re: doctors and not wanting cures to be found because they would

rather be rich. I am sorry, but I could never believe that at all.

There are plenty of doctors and researchers who would love to find a

silver bullet to slay this monster. There is no end of other good

works they could do as doctors; they don't all have to be

rheumatologists. There are many doctors and researchers selflessly

working on dangerous diseases and in dangerous conditions all over

the world. Besides, if someone ever did come up with a silver

bullet, I'd give him my home and all of its contents to have it.

[Editor's Note: Right you are, Brent. Cayce is a quack. He steals people's

money by preying upon them when they are sick. Unfortunately, there are plenty

of people around who are eager to help him do it. If a drug company had the

cure, it would be able to become wealthier than any other company in the history

of the world by selling the drug for a huge price to those who have arthritis.

Such wealth would also mean the board of that company could effectively control

much of the world. Why hasn't a drug company done this? Because NO ONE has yet

found a cure - certainly not Edgar Cayce. He doesn't have a cure so he preys

upon the sick and the suffering. It is bad enough to have this disease but even

worse to be victimized by Cayce and his ilk. Kathy F]

Your old rheumy sounds like he was a bit jaded. I'm not saying it's never true

that the " pharmaceutical companies help doctors through med school " , but

boy....I know a LOT of friends of mine who would not be in such tremendous

amounts of debt from going through med school if some pharmaceutical companies

would have helped them out. My experience has been that yes, the drug reps come

around to the docs giving out free samples and giving talks on how great their

drugs are. They aren't allowed to give gifts like they did years ago. Yes, I'm

sure some of these talks do in fact sway doctors to prescribe their medications.

Other doctors, like most I know, use a discerning eye and look at the actual

effects the drugs are having and THEN decide whether to prescribe the

medication, free lunch and seminar or not. I really choose not to have a

completely jaded attitude or would go insane. I truly do believe that my

physicians have my best interest in mind. If I feel they don't, then I don't

see them anymore. I've had more than one physician tell me they weren't going to

prescribe me the latest greatest drug (and I'm not talking about PA drugs here)

because they felt it was exactly like something older and more inexpensive.

Are drug companies keeping the " cures " away from us because their business is

too lucrative? That's a completely different question to me. I suppose it's

possible. There has been such an explosion of the commercialization of

prescription drugs in the past 10 years....you're supposed to ask your doctor

if a medication is right for you when you don't even know what it does!!

Now....the pharmaceutical companies do not help doctors through medical school.

But what they DO do is fund medical research. Not ALL medical research is

funded by drug companies. But a lot is. So I suppose there is some validity to

the possibility that they don't want " cures " found. Though I try not to be a

conspiracy theorist. I still believe that people are fairly good inside. I'd

like to believe that we are working towards cures. We have to remember that a

lot of human disease, whether we have the greatest technology in the world or

not, is much more sneaky and incomprehensible than we think. Though we know a

LOT more about what causes disease than we used to, the only thing we are TRULY

good at is killing off bacteria....and even that has gone awry with the

overabundance of antiobiotics to a degree. We still don't understand viruses.

They mutate faster than we can blink. Many cancers are now linked to viruses.

An P and PA? We don't even KNOW for sure. Ask 10 different people, get 10

different answers. I dunno.

You say amoxicillin cleaned out your system. The thing is...and I know this

about other autoimmune diseases as well, what works for one person doesn't

always work for another because we DON'T know the cause of these things.

Autoimmune diseases are sneaky, and I really think we are going to find out that

the genetic predisposition towards autoimmune disorders is triggered by a NUMBER

of different things. Different for different groups of people. Maybe yours was

triggered by a bacterial infection you had and now you carry a higher load of

that bacteria because your immune system was too weakened to kill it off. When

you take the antibiotics, your load goes down and your P and PA clear up.

That's not the case for me. I've been on long-term antibiotics and it doesn't

do a thing for my P or PA.

I'm sure there's some stuff that could be done that isn't. But I'm also sure

there are people out their busting their butts to figure out what these things

are caused by and how to cure them. ALL of the people I have known in the

medical profession, without exception, have wished that their jobs would become

obsolete. They do not like to see human suffering. They do not like it that

there is no cure for the diseases that they see on a daily basis. Most of those

I know are actually perturbed with drug reps and drug companies.
