Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I'd love to experiment with IV anti-TNF antibody drugs if there were ever any doctor or non-doctor way to do it. MAAAAAAN they are expensive, but it would be an awesome experiment. Sadly, the best way to do it might be to plonk it into the brain, which is damnably difficult. Over the years, I am more and more suspecting that what we need is to measure the concentration of CFS in our CSF. If you will. According to Cort's site, as I recall, the Dubbo team now wants to do a study on cytokine levels in the CSF - which would be the first such study in CFS that I know of. Cort says their funding for that is not assured. > > Dear Nelly > More questions than answers > TNF alpha and IL6 are elevated in CFS and a dozen other related disorders. > It is hypothesised that TNF alpha and IL6 (among others ) may be responsible for increased gut permeability. > Reduce the cytokines and ease the gut problems.
