Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 > Isn't it interesting that your son's viral count later was normal?< Dr. explained to us that lab tests won't show the viral load of our kids. The HHV-6 hides in the nerves and escapes detection by conventional means. The antiviral some how pulls it out and aids the body in getting rid of it. This particular virus causes other problems apparently than just what our kids experience. It is prevalent though in sensory issues even involving adults. When I asked him how he got into the area of treating children with autism he said he was asked to by other doctors due to his high success in treating adult " head " and sensory issues. We all really like him persoally too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Hello, Sorry it took so long for me to respond but I havent been able to get on the internet explorer because some kind of ad ware has screwed up my ability to logon to the web. As far as my suspecting that a virus is still involved, it's just a guess. But a chiropractors using reflexology determined that I had a virus & also that I had candida. I'd been fighting candida for years. The same chiropracter also determined that I had a high mercury level. He gave me an herbal preparation that I took for about 3 months to get rid of it. Apparently it worked or he was wrong in the first place because the Chelation pee sample showed no mercury. I mention this because I've read that mercury is a strong antibactial agent. It was used at one time as an antibiotic to fight syphilus. I think this is why my poop samples always showed high yeast but very little beneficial bacteria. Since I took the cure for mercury I've had no problem with yeast and my poop samples confirm this along with good growth of acidophilus. If your interested in looking into this yourself you could contact Dr. Cushing at the Clymer Healing Research center in Quakertown, Pa. He's the chiropracter I saw. I don't know whether you've heard of them but the treat exclusively people who suffer from chronic fatigue. They are very very nice people. They have low cost housing in a rather secluded area that you can stay at for days, or even weeks while you receive treatment there. As for heavy metals I have now, uranium isn't one of them? I have 3 times the normal upper range of lead, twice the normal of nickel, & about 10 times the high end of bismuth which is really a mystery since the only source for that that I can think of is PeptoBismal which I may have taken a half dozen times in my entire life. As far as how I got these metals, I have no idea. My best guess is that my liver doesn't detoxify things like it should & so instead of making it harmless it stores it in my liver & then as my liver gradually becomes overloaded it periodically dumps this stuff in bile & makes me very sick in the process. I know my livers been off because I've had elevated liver bilrutin on several occasions. I think I may have rid myself of a large portion of these accumulated toxins by doing liver flushes. It was a horrendous experience as these things came out believe me. Now I believe the next step is a course of IV Chelation. I'm starting these this next week. Insurance will pay for it since the diagnosis of heavy metal poisoning is verified with the lab results. I have to take 30 IV's. One per week. They take 3 hours per dose so I'm going to be spending a lot of time doing this. But in the end I hope it may be very beneficial in more ways than one. The doctor who's administering the IV's says everybody over 30 should periodically have several done. M. ---- Original Message ----- From: Drasko Cvijovic Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 3:00 PM Subject: viruses , I found some potentially (for me) very interesting words in your letter... Please tell me more on:. 1. You said: > I suspect that I still have a chronic viral infection that is > still a factor in the electrical sensitivity How did you came on idea of relating viruses to ES? I am also diagnosed CFS and EBV infection etc. and I think myself that current condition regarding viruses is related to the extent of ES... But it could have been just a consequnece of general weakness, as previously mentioned over the list... 2. You said you are high in uranium... What is the explanation of how you got it? Been there in Gulf!? (We in Serbia had a heavy bombing 5 years ago, and many people got sick, me as well, but it has never been proved out what was the cause of malaises. Uranium testing is inavailable here.) Drasko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Patty; In order to answer this, I have to repeat what has been said by others time and again. Kombucha doesn't " cure " anything, but what it does is get your body to the best it can be, and in doing that, it gets your defense systems up and running so your own body can deal with and take care of these bacterial and viral contaminations and fend them off, So IMHO the answer is yes it does work, but not in the way you might think.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Liz, Thank you, I too recieved email like that. Saying "This email is safe" I got it through hotmail also and just for the heck of it I tried opening it and Hotmail wouldn't let me, saying that there was a virus. I almost replied to the sender and called them a liar but then I thought they are probably using a false name and if I tried sending it, it would probably get sent back.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Our DAN Dr. is in the Kansas City Kansas area. We had treated my son for yeast with Nystatin with basically no results. Not good or bad. We know he has bacteria based on his stool analysis and I do believe the tincher is helping with that. He did tell me it would also kill viruses but I hadn't been looking for that. > Just curious - can you divulge where the DAN doc lives who gave you the tincture--had the same situation, only temperature went up to 104, lasted off and on for 3 days, resulted in major regression...and all this in a child who had just been treated for yeast and bacteria. --Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 I'll try to spell these things correctly :-) The tincher includes uva ursi, cats claw, astrig (Sp?) and I believe a type of silver. I don't think it is colliodial silver but a hydorolized (Sp?) silver. We did see a lot of language increase with using this especially his articulation. Also, he had been tantruming and it completely stopped. He isn't typically a tantrumer, so I was glad to see that go. > > > > > > > I had been treating my son with an immune tincher prepared by our > > DAN Dr. We are to do two weeks on then 1 week off.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 There are lots of nasty bacteria that affect the neck muscles/spine. The fluid in there is a great place for the bacteria to grow. Even if you were experiencing die-off, anything that severe would scare me, seeing as how toxins are produced in mass quantities as the little nasties begin to die. The byproducts produced from the die-off are just as dangerous as the bacteria itself. Good luck to you. My rule of thumb is first do no harm. I've been snookered by too many doctors and my little one has suffered too much to trust doctors and their treatments blindly. I'm sure you've done your research, so what sorts of bacteria and viruses were the tincture aimed at? For example, for us, I was surprised the clostridia we were treating was in the same family/bacteria as botulism and tetanus. Gave me a great respect for it and it's potential, especially when I learned one of it's byproducts is mass amounts of ammonia, and that is really bad for our little guys too. Know what you are dealing with, so you know where it could go. Good luck to you.

We learned that they are actually proteins. '''''''''''''''''''''' a bit more precisely, they inject their genome into our *cells*, not into our DNA. why? because they don't themselves have ingredients to overgo the reproductive cycle, they need the one of our (or any other) cell's proteins to provide them. it's quite manysided prosedure and at the moment i have no time to go it all through here maybe later...... bw -will- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
