Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

[Guest guest]

It is NOT " for schizophrenia " - this is disinformation and exactly the kind of

amateur rubbish we DO NOT NEED. It's a broad spectrum antibiotic used to treat

many illnesses and tested for efficacy in schizophrenia. The statement is

misleading, malicious, or both.

OH please don't worry or apologize. You have been awesome with all your help.

I am so sorry about the pain in your hand. I don't know if it is related to

these infections or something else, but you must take care of it and not tax

your hand or the wrist or where ever it hurts. I know you are trying your very

best. Never fear. I am not going anywhere...LOL Not since I found you guys

that's for sure.

alterations, inflammation and apoptosis in models of Huntington's disease,

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Despite controversies

about its efficacy, the relative safety and tolerability of minocycline have led

to various clinical trials. Recently, we reported the antipsychotic effects of

minocycline in patients with schizophrenia. In a pilot investigation, we

administered minocycline as an open-label adjunct to antipsychotic medication to

patients with schizophrenia. The results of this trial suggested that

minocycline might be a safe and effective adjunct to antipsychotic medications,

and that augmentation with minocycline may prove to be a viable strategy for

" boosting " antipsychotic efficacy and for treating schizophrenia. The present

review summarizes the available data supporting the clinical testing of

minocycline for patients with schizophrenia. In addition, we extend our

discussion to the potential applications of minocycline for combining this

treatment with cellular and molecular therapy

Oh wow...I did not consider this amateur rubbish. If you read this article:

http://forum.davidicke.com/showthread.php?t=202657

you will see that, at least on the surface, there may be some promise of use for

this in the treatment of schizophrenia. It may be an off label use for sure,

but truly do not think there was any malice here.

I am so sorry you were so upset by this posting. I want to assure you that when

I read these posts, I was not mislead by anything. I hope that helps you,

Terry

Kayjay, would you mind telling me about how long you battled them? And then how long you have battled the post infections? Just trying to get a feel for what I am up against.

> Source

> Department of Psychiatry, Shimane University School of Medicine, Izumo, Japan. miyanyan@...

> Abstract

> Minocycline, an antibiotic of the tetracycline family, has been shown to display neurorestorative or neuroprotective properties in various models of neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, it has been shown to delay motor alterations, inflammation and apoptosis in models of Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Despite controversies about its efficacy, the relative safety and tolerability of minocycline have led to various clinical trials. Recently, we reported the antipsychotic effects of minocycline in patients with schizophrenia. In a pilot investigation, we administered minocycline as an open-label adjunct to antipsychotic medication to patients with schizophrenia. The results of this trial suggested that minocycline might be a safe and effective adjunct to antipsychotic medications, and that augmentation with minocycline may prove to be a viable strategy for "boosting" antipsychotic efficacy and for

treating

> schizophrenia. The present review summarizes the available data supporting the clinical testing of minocycline for patients with schizophrenia. In addition, we extend our discussion to the potential applications of minocycline for combining this treatment with cellular and molecular therapy

Mine is miserably intense. If I forget my Requip and the jumping starts, it takes me an hour of walking around for the Requip to kick in. I have to take it at least a half hour before the Seroquel. Otherwise, the Seroquel magnifies the symptoms. I sure hope the RLS is related to the Lyme and that whatever my doc has me do also gets rid of the RLS.So glad you have a mild case.Kajay From: mitesbegone <no_reply > bird mites Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 4:56 PM Subject: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

I have RLS as well, which can be so irritating when trying to sleep. But it isn't chronic thankfully. Just intermittent hits. About once or twice a month for a couple of days each time.

My late sweet godson was schizophrenic and on and off again suicidal. He said the heater (among other things) talked to him, that it told him what to do. He died at 14 of a tragic accident related to his ADHD. I still miss him. Although he was big for his age and past the age of most children in the Big Brother program, he was gentle and socially immature and so the Big Brother program allowed us to attend events (I know, I was his godmom, but it worked for us :-) We built simple things together. I bought him a small toolbox and then every month I took him to get a tool of some kind, then we would make something with the tools he had so far.Kajay

Hi, , Thank you for the kind words :-)What he said is that the Minocycline will not single out the Lyme and that it will also attack some co-infections.He didn't prescribe any herbals, it isn't his area of expertise. However, he has a high success rate, apparently.Even if they tell me tomorrow that I cannot share his name, I am going to share everything I learn. As always, I am going to TRY to distinguish between what I am certain he said and what I am guessing about. That is why I think it is important to share the documentation, because some of you will see in it things that I would not think to mention. Hopefully at least that will be helpful to those who want the

information.Kajay From: mitesbegone <no_reply > bird mites Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 12:52 PM Subject: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

[Guest guest]

God bless you Kajay. My nephew lived on his own in a tiny shot gun shack in Arkansas. My husband, daughter and I went to visit him. His narrow little shack was full of mold on the walls, all totally black, but he adored it, just having the freedom of being on his own in his own little place which was totally broken down. There were holes in the floor that went right to the dirt. He was part of an amazing program funded by a government program & started by Clinton where he got all his meals a short walking distance away and other people with severe mental illness could go and hang out, play pool, cards, visit, etc. during the day. would get shots once a week that kept his hallucinations in check. His life was much worse before he got into this program. Unfortunately he was a heavy smoker as many adult schizos are and he died from lung cancer in his 40's. I took care of him as a baby and I will always have a special place in my heart for him. I don't know why I'm sharing all this, but I KNOW your Godson is loving you for all you did with him and appreciated about him.We have to see each other as whole and complete in spirit because that is truly who we are. That is my belief.From: "Kajay109" <morjella@...>bird mites Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 7:27:20 PMSubject: Re: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

My late sweet godson was schizophrenic and on and off again suicidal. He said the heater (among other things) talked to him, that it told him what to do. He died at 14 of a tragic accident related to his ADHD. I still miss him. Although he was big for his age and past the age of most children in the Big Brother program, he was gentle and socially immature and so the Big Brother program allowed us to attend events (I know, I was his godmom, but it worked for us :-) We built simple things together. I bought him a small toolbox and then every month I took him to get a tool of some kind, then we would make something with the tools he had so far.Kajay

Oh Kayjay, I am so sorry that on top of everything you are suffering with a bad

case of RLS. It drives me crazy when it happens. I don't take anything

specifically for it. But I take so many things, perhaps one of them is helping.

I did recently stop some of my supplements because I left them at my house. The

RLS kicked up then so perhaps I am taking something that is helping. But which

something?? I have not a clue. I sure hope the Lyme treatment contains your RLS

as well.

If it happens so often, could you not just take the Requip every evening about

an hour before bedtime?

 You are very thorough too in what you sent, including attachments!  I'm

impressed!  I am also a believer that information from others helps us

enormously.  I talk to my LLMD today about my ongoing issues and where to go

from here.  I don't know Minocycline... have not used it.  Sounds like he

will treat Lyme first and not co-infections (maybe you don't have them...).

 My doc started on all of them at once and still don't know how sound that

was.  She gave me scripts for meds and where to buy herbals.

Thanks Kajay (sorry for misspelling your name in an earlier post)..I am sure

glad I found this group. There is power in knowledge and there is a lot of

knowledge here. So we will all, together, get through this. I just know it.

about its efficacy, the relative safety and tolerability of minocycline have led

to various clinical trials. Recently, we reported the antipsychotic effects of

minocycline in patients with schizophrenia. In a pilot investigation, we

administered minocycline as an open-label adjunct to antipsychotic medication to

minocycline might be a safe and effective adjunct to antipsychotic medications,

Oh my goodness No...compared to what all of you have suffered, I am a plebe...I

don't even get to wear the uniform yet....LOL, but I will no doubt earn my

stripes as this goes on. Although I am sorely tempted to turn tail and

run...Doggone thing would just go with me though.

> > Minocycline, an antibiotic of the tetracycline family, has been shown to

display neurorestorative or neuroprotective properties in various models of

neurodegenerative diseases. In particular, it has been shown to delay motor

alterations, inflammation and apoptosis in models of Huntington's disease,

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Despite controversies

about its efficacy, the relative safety and tolerability of minocycline have led

to various clinical trials. Recently, we reported the antipsychotic effects of

minocycline in patients with schizophrenia. In a pilot investigation, we

administered minocycline as an open-label adjunct to antipsychotic medication to

patients with schizophrenia. The results of this trial suggested that

minocycline might be a safe and effective adjunct to antipsychotic medications,

and that augmentation with minocycline may prove to be a viable strategy for

" boosting " antipsychotic efficacy and for

the clinical testing of minocycline for patients with schizophrenia. In

addition, we extend our discussion to the potential applications of minocycline

for combining this treatment with cellular and molecular therapy

Well guess we will just all learn to dance in our sleep. Speaking of which, I

signed me and the family up for Arthur Murray dance lessons. Got to get the

bride and groom ready for their " dance " at the wedding. Maybe I can learn some

fancy steps that will make it at least interesting while my legs jump around.

Thanks for the reassurance.

So much!!! Terry

 You are very thorough too in what you sent, including attachments!  I'm

impressed!  I am also a believer that information from others helps us

enormously.  I talk to my LLMD today about my ongoing issues and where to go

from here.  I don't know Minocycline... have not used it.  Sounds like he

will treat Lyme first and not co-infections (maybe you don't have them...).

 My doc started on all of them at once and still don't know how sound that

was.  She gave me scripts for meds and where to buy herbals.

God bless you Kajay. My nephew lived on his own in a tiny shot gun shack in Arkansas. My husband, daughter and I went to visit him. His narrow little shack was full of mold on the walls, all totally black, but he adored it, just having the freedom of being on his own in his own little place which was totally broken down. There were holes in the floor that went right to the dirt. He was part of an amazing program funded by a government program & started by Clinton where he got all his meals a short walking distance away and other people with severe mental illness could go and hang out, play pool, cards, visit, etc. during the day. would get shots once a week that kept his hallucinations in check. His life was much worse before he got into this program. Unfortunately he was a heavy smoker as many adult schizos are and he died from

lung cancer in his 40's. I took care of him as a baby and I will always have a special place in my heart for him. I don't know why I'm sharing all this, but I KNOW your Godson is loving you for all you did with him and appreciated about him.We have to see each other as whole and complete in spirit because that is truly who we are. That is my belief.From: "Kajay109" <morjella@...>bird mites Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 7:27:20 PMSubject: Re: Re: LLMD - First visit trip report + partial labs

My late sweet godson was schizophrenic and on and off again suicidal. He said the heater (among other things) talked to him, that it told him what to do. He died at 14 of a tragic accident related to his ADHD. I still miss him. Although he was big for his age and past the age of most children in the Big Brother program, he was gentle and socially immature and so the Big Brother program allowed us to attend events (I know, I was his godmom, but it worked for us :-) We built simple things together. I bought him a small toolbox and then every month I took him to get a tool of some kind, then we would make something with the tools he had so far.Kajay

LLMD asked what symptoms brought me to him: > > Pruritis (skin issues including crawling, lesions, biting; possible causes - staph, yeast, mycoplasma, leprosy, others) > Night sweats (always a sign of infection; possible causes staph, tuberculosis) > Restless legs syndrome (related, I think) > Severe spasms in feet, sometimes traveling up legs to body - terrifying > > B. LLMD asked me if these symptoms are or have been present: > > Brain fog (no) > Headaches (no) > Chronic fatigue (no) > Muscular aches (no) or spasms (yes) > Overall aches (no) > Sinus issues (yes until F-5 Mar 2011) > Lesions (yes until F-5 Mar 2011)

> Depression (yes, in 1997) > Bulls eye rash (yes, in 90's and again in 2009) > > II. Neuro-Muscular Tests > > A. Standing: > He had me walk three different ways. > He had me stand and allow him to just observe my face (tells a doc a lot about us) > He held my shoulders and leaned my body in every direction, alternating directions to see my body's neurological response. > B. Sitting: > He had me push/pull with feet, quads, arms, shoulders etc. > He had me stick out my tongue and relax it. I felt it spasming! " You have Twelfth Nerve Palsy ," he said, and at that point he diagnosed Lyme . > > III. Causes . > > A. Pruritis . P ossible causes include staph, yeast, mycoplasma, leprosy, others . > B. Night Sweats . 100% due to infection of some kind. Possibilities: staph, yeast, mycoplasma, tuberculosis, other. I asked why Evening Primrose

Oil controls. He asked what form I take. " Capsules ." Said EPO has antibiotic properties. Agreed it does not cure the infection though since I have to keep going back to the EPO to control the night sweats when they return. > C. Restless Legs Syndrome . Discussed. dn't address directly. He said that many co-infections and related issues would clear up by using the antibiotic he prescribed (Minocycline). > D. Severe Spasms in Feet . D iscussed. He said many co-infections and related issues would clear up by using the antibiotic he prescribed (Minocycline). Seemed fine with my taking a bone support supplement to control spasms. > E. Bulls Eye Rash . Occurs only in small percentage of cases. > > IV. Co-Infections . Only remember discussing the ones I have seen discussed here. I know he covered others, though. Feels most will be addressed by the antibiotic he prescribed for the Lyme. > A. Babesiosis . Does not

believe I have this. > B. Bartonella . Can't remember if he thinks I might or might not have this. > > V. Antibiotics . Lyme is an intracellular (within cell) disease, but most antibiotics do not work within cells, only outside them, and so will not touch Lyme. > > VI. About Lyme . > > > • 112 known varieties of Lyme, each with a unique set of outcomes. Many never know they have it. Others experience debilitating symptoms almost from the moment of the bite. > • Turkey hunters sit at the base of trees. They also get bitten by ticks more often than they realize. > • 20% of ticks carry Lyme - not just deer ticks. > • For every five ticks that bite a turkey hunter, one carries Lyme. > • 100% of turkey hunters will contract one of the varieties of Lyme, but many will never know

(the lucky ones). > • Patients previously diagnosed with delusory parasitosis but then treated for Lyme have gotten well from the Lyme regardless of their mental state. > • Ticks, like snakes, are active most of the year, if not all. > > VII. Diagnosis . > > > • Diagnosis of Twelfth Nerve Palsy confirms Lyme. > • Immune system healthy. > > VIII. Prescription . Minocycline 100mg oral capsule, one a day with food, without calcium. Take yogurt and or probiotics. > > > > > > > > > > > IX. Conclusion . The most important thing my new LLMD told me today is that Lyme is curable . He said that once we clear up the infections associated with Lyme, that may take care of my other issues (Morg). The second most important one is that (and he

smiled when he said it) I am definitely not crazy. > > That's a relief :-) > > Will post again when I have more news. > > Kajay>------------------------------------
