Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 , The Minocin may be a good choice for you. Often when one has a reaction like you did, it's because it is effective. You probably were having a herxheimer reaction -- die-off from mycoplasma. Have you read " The New Arthritis Breakthrough " ? If not, that would be the first suggestion I might have for you. It is a wonderful book, and a facinating and interesting " easy read. " It will also support you in your decision not to take the other drugs you mentioned. Everyone interested in this therapy should definitely read the book. bg > Hi , > > They want to start me on two chemo drugs and prednisone (sp?). > My dad was on one and prednisone when he died so I am not jumping on > that wagon.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 All those drug names sound familiar - she has suppositories, pills and also some sort of cream to rub on her wrist that is supposed to stop nausea instantly. It all used to work for her - but she's not keeping any of her medicine down right now. Her system has just shut down totally and we'll get it going slowly if I can get her to just relax about it for a couple days at least. ) It really excited her that she was able to drink that potassium broth tonight!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hi All, I am doing chemo now. Any reiki and/or prayer is welcome. I would like to feel stronger, my tummy more comfortable, my joints less achy. Comfort in my joints and throughout my body. I would like my healthy cells to stay that way and for anything innappropriate to leave my body forever. and so, it is. Thank you God! Thanks and Love, Kanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
