Re: The role of infection in ME/CFS

[Guest guest]

Thanks Bob, Some pretty good stuff there. I would have been ecstatic if he'd mentioned the resiliency of the organisms themselves, where they hide, how they hide. I am very disappointed that I saw no mention of the most difficult to treat bugs like staph, pseudomonas, & actino, and others which often infect our sinuses and jaws for years until they're chronic and eventually become a part of our makeup. He touches on this change in us, and that's my worry, I guess, after reading the recent obesity/bacteria study. That the body actually does change in its response to the organisms, and once it changes, there's no going back. That's scary. Thank goodness for people like Barb and Tony who've managed to regain their health. I am glad that he's pointing out that some simple testing in the

beginning could potentially save a lot of misery down the road. But I'm also concerned that he's not casting a broad enough testing net. Oh well, at least people are slowly starting to recognize that infections are a major factor in our illness and books are being written about it. It's a start. penny Bob Grommes <bob@...> wrote: Pretty good excerpt from Bell, MD's upcoming

Penny, were did you see that there could be no change? If you could

alter the gut bacteria I expect the person would lose weight. It is

interesting that two people on the unmentionable protocol actually

lost a lot of weight. I know, I know, not everyone did. Ha!

But I sure would like to think that eating the right yogurt and

taking the right antibiotic would be the miracle cure for obesity.
