Guest guest Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 In Desperation Medicine, Dr. Shoemaker says: " Measuring TNF in serum can give us an idea about how many toxin molecules are activating DNA transcription, but the corrrelation isn't 100 percent. Research shows clearly that the rise in TNF-mRNA in the bloodstream following CSM dosing is a better measure of toxin activity on nuclear receptors. " (p. 265) Has anyone had TNF-mRNA testing done to show toxin activity? Or MSH or MMP9, which I've read are more recent tests used by him? I've read sick people generally have a low MSH (bad sleep and chronic pain), and high MMP9 (inflammation). I'm wondering if there is any test he uses now (other than the visual contrast sensitivity test, or symptom changes) to measure toxin load and patient progress. Thanks!
