Patti,

I also read about DNCB in Mark Konlee's book. It sounded a little scarey to

use.

How did you go about it? Did you have any serious problems with it? The

redness, itchy, stuff?

Have you noticed improvement with various supplements?

How often have you done it?

Thanks, M-

I also read about DNCB in Mark Konlee's book. It sounded a little scarey to

use.

How did you go about it?

[Patti:] I ordered a kit (about $25) and applied the solution as Konlee

suggests.

I find it very easy.

Did you have any serious problems with it? The

redness, itchy, stuff?

[Patti:] Yes, the skin where you " paint " on the DNCB solution does

(if you have any CMI) get red, raised and itchy. I paint the solution

on a 1 1/4 inch square area so the itchy reaction is limited to that

one small area. The small bother the itchiness causes me is more

than made up for by (IMO) having " immediate " feedback on the state

of my CMI.

Have you noticed improvement with various supplements?

[Patti:] The things that most dramatically increased my CMI (as measured

by DNCB) was Naltrexone and b 1,3 glucan. The product that most

dramatically DECREASED my CMI was RELIV.

How often have you done it?

[Patti:] I used to apply it fortnightly, but it got to be pretty stable

so now I only apply it every once in awhile to check on my status.

Now that you mention it, I should apply it before I start on heparin

so I can have a pre-heparin and post-heparin use reading.

(darn it, my heparin STILL isn't here. I called and found out the

pharmacy hasn't even mailed it out yet, so looks like next week

at best before I can start heparin)

A strategy that's homeopathic in approach but not strictly a homeopathic remedy is dncb (dinitrochrolobenzene (sp?)). Not a natural herb or such, it was

developed as a chemical used in photography.  For medical purposes, a

very small, diluted amount is applied with a q-tip to a small portion

of the skin, weekly.  This creates a small but not painful or

inconvenient red rash.  In so doing it is promoting the body's own

cellular immunity.

Besides reversing the ratio of CD4 to CD8 cells, I know it also

helps promote natural interferons without wiping out the body's

interleukins (chemotherapy tends to wipe out interleukins, compromising

the patient's immune system; thus capable of wiping out a disease but

also leaving a patient vulnerable to, say, cancer).
