Re: FLUFFY, your Platelet results

[Guest guest]

Essentially, yes

we are fighting an infection or likely many infections

actually, for me, it seems like a lot of infections all over

the only thing I can do is try to contain and minimize them

i walk around and function but the battle never ceases

i let down my guard and things get worse real quick

Fluff is fine

Hi Fluff, thanks a lot for the update. I am trying to figure out for myself

what this really means, ways to identify and eliminate or at least subdue the

offending pathogens. I guess the HHV6 and mycoplasma testing are part of

that. But antivirals at this point dont touch my symptoms. Maybe antibiotics

will. Dont know, but I am determined to find out just what all these results

popping up mean specifically.

WHen you say " contain and minimize " are just referring to lifestyle

modifications or are you doing / taking anything specifically to target the

pathogens? (i.e. antibiotics, etc..)?

Thanks again,

blue

I find I really need to do ALL the BASIC things that nicholson said

well, i am doing most of the basic things ...

if i leave something out, there is more symptoms

it seems these pathogens deplete a lot of resources in the body

so many symptoms are just a result of deficiency

anti-virals is one of the more difficult areas so concentrate on the

other areas although east park olive extract may be the best thing

Stuff that keeps me more functional

a) Antibiotics

minocin ( brand name only " no substitutions allowed " )

ImmunoPro

very important ... helps with toxins

c) Mag/malic/calcium

very, very important ... this is critical to sleep, cramps, body

pain ... my body seems to use up this fast ... i can't be lax about

this

maybe i should throw in potassium

d) eye vitamin ( vitamin/mineral)

this is my multi-vitamin ... it helps my eye problems ...

curiously, eye vitamins contain the basic things that are usually

missing

actually use a cvs brand .. ocuvite plus or something

it has A, C, E, zinc, selenium etc

the minerals seem very important

e) b-complex

f) bromelaine with antibiotic

g) east park olive leaf extract to control reflux

another possible alternative to antibiotics to try ... i would try

this first for a month

h) i use to take glucosamine/chondroitin ( avoid the crappy brands )

for costochondritis ... improvement starts within 2 weeks

i) exercise

even nicholson thinks this is important ... it helps make

everything else work better ... creatine monohydrate is great for any

weight lifting exercises ... walking ... introduce slowly

side affects

after about 18 months and after trying another antibiotic with it,

i developed hemorrhoid/weak capillaries problem ... i control it with

Rutin(may be active component) ... bioflavinoid ... i did fine with

minocin alone ... actually, bioflavinoids are another natural

antibiotic ...

there is the view that if an antibiotic is making you feel bad, it

means its working. this may not be the case ... i never had a

herxheimer reaction with minocin even though i had the disease 40

years and very sick ... also, i had significant improvement in less

than 3 weeks ... how long you try an antibiotic before you know it is

not working is a very difficult question ... a bad antibiotic may

cause the organisms to grow ... it may require some luck ... no

matter what you do, there are risks

.... some people go 6 months on an antibiotic without no

improvement ... i am dubious of that approach ... maybe give minocin

and doxycycline a chance for a short time ... if that doesn't work

then go with the Jardin protocol since you get to try many

antibiotics but only subject yoruself to 1 week per month of the

antibiotics so less brutal on your system ... if you find one that

hits the spot, you can always resort to the nicholson protocol ...

you may have to take one step back to go forward two steps

you should introduce things not too fast especially things not

natural to the body ... you need to educate yourself on what

supplements will be more absorbable

so i contain it with these to function but not eliminate the problem

Fluffy, thanks much for the useful info. I'm glad you are getting at

least some help. I'm going to keep all this in mind as I go forward

(whatever direction that may be. I guess I'll wait and see what the

docs have to say.)
