Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Hello , most on here would recognise your sons symptoms,. They are almost certainly caused by infection ..and a particular type of infection at that .. Read my site , my interest is the aetiology of autism .I recognise the symptoms of autism from my own experience ..Angiotensin receptor blockers ..[Olmesartan] are very effective in reducing inflammation the probable cause of your sons headaches [encephalitis] the full inflammatory blockade is 40mg every 8 hours. Ask your sons doc to consider treating with arbs as per my site ..

My 22 yr old son has headaches and stiff neck pain related to Lyme and his other tick borne infections. He would average 3 per week. He takes Aleve and Hydrocodone for the pain. Bicillin IM, Mepron and Zithromax combination helped stop the headaches. Have you read much about the Autism/Lyme connection they are discovering?

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 What kinds of testing have your son's doctors done? Does your son have a neurologist? Has he had any dental infections or invasive dental or sinus procedures performed? If I were you, I'd do some research on ICH (intracranial hypertension also known as pseudotumor cerebri, or idiopathic intracranial hypertension). Diagnostics for this are usually imaging and lumbar puncture. If it is ICH, sometimes just the puncture itself relieves the headaches. If that happens then the diagnosis is pretty clear. Unfortunately, the causes of ICH are not always so clear. Some of us with chronic infections believe that ICH is another symtpom of our infections. I have both sinus and jaw infections and I have experienced migraines on a daily basis (until finding some relief through a neurologist and headache center). Other people with jaw infections experience chronic, severe jaw, face and head pain. As for Olmesartan, which was recommended in another post: I used olmesartan (benicar) experimentally for quite a while and the first thing I noticed was a relief of head pressure. Unfortunately, that did not last, and I believe that the olmesartan caused more problems than it seemed to relieve in my case. I would not recommend this drug for uses other than what it was developed (high blood pressure) until more research is done. I don't think the risk is worth it. In my experience only about half the people who try it find any relief anyway, and many actually get a lot sicker (or die) but those don't get publicized as much on the official protocol forums due to censorship. Also, if you read back a few messages on this forum, you'll see that a doctor who's been prescribing the experimental protocol regularly (known as the Marshall Protocol)is now being investigated by the Medical board (due to patient complaints) and faces professional disciplinary measures. She could lose her license. If it were me, I'd get my son to a neurologist asap. Rule out any life threatening conditions and then start researching ICH, as well as Chronic Sinus and Jaw infections. There's a lot on this forum alone, as well as some good forums out there for ICH and Pseudotumor Cerebri. The jaw infection forums I'd be very cautious about, especially any that promote NICO (one of the foremost Nico dentists, Dr. Shankland, had his license suspended for 6 mos. due to poor treatment procedures). Whatever you do, if you feel that a jaw or sinus infection is involved, do a lot of research and get second opinons before taking any kind of invasive or surgical action. There are doctors out there doing procedures that in my experience end up spreading the infections rather than limiting them. I've had surgeries that have not helped, and know a lot of other people with similar results. The only treatments that I can say have definitely helped my infections somewhat, are long term anti-microbials. I hope your son finds relief soon. penny --- In infections , " lewan2109 " <aocarolan@...> wrote: > > HI EVERYONE, > I AM NEW TO THE GROUP AND WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE CAN HELP AS MY 18YR OLD AUTISTIC SON HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SEVERE HEAD NECK JAW AND EYE PAIN ALL AT ONE TIME,WAS WONDERING COULD THIS BE SINUSITIS OR MIGRAINE NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS,PLEASE IF ANYONE COULD THROW SOME LIGHT AS HE HAS BEEN IN A LOT OF DISCOMFORT FOR OVER 6 MONTHS OR MORE AND ON OCCASION HAS BANGED HIS HEAD IN PAIN > > THANK YOU > ANNETTE > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Benicar may well tame inflammation for some people, but I'm afraid it comes with a price. I hadn't had a cold or flu in years until I started Benicar. Later after steroid treatment, I had another flu which turned into pneumonia. While steroids may be worse than Benicar (we really don't know that yet), they do have some similarities. They both suppress the immune system (inflammation) which potentially gives infections an opportunity to grow. Until we know a whole lot more about Benicar and its long term effects, caution is the best policy, IMO. Finding less harmful methods to dampen inflammatory symptoms is vital. There are a lot of natural substances out there that have anti-inflammatory effects. If a person can take aspirin or ibuprofen, I'd start there, because they do a great job of calming inflammation. Unfortunately, some of us can't take those substances. That's where the experimenting with substances like Benicar came in for me. I truly wish I could take aspirin. If you've got the stomach for it, it has way fewer side effects and does a good job. Ask Barb, who pretty much cured herself. Large doses of ibuprofen was a big part of her regimen which included antimicrobials (pharmaceutical and natural, like coconut oil), digestive enzymes and electrolyte balancing. Tony, I know that you went through intensive and highly experimental antimicrobial treatments based on your own microbe testing (I really don't think I'd even be typing this right now if I hadn't listened to you about infection being the cause of CFS), but did you use anything like high dosage aspirin for your severe pain? I don't think I've ever asked you that. Or did it all come down to the antimicrobials for you?

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Penny aspirin is something I try to use heaps of now..I see these substances as only working when they act as antimicrobials against your bacterial hanger on er er's(bugs growing inside and outside of you)..Basically whenever I remember I'll buy a good brand of aspirin, as the fillers of some brands can give you allergy type irritations.I then tend to use them in high amounts hoping they break thru all the toxic, crusty build up's inside your body..This in my opinion is an anti cancer approach to health management. I also feel that a long dip in the ocean can prove beneficial for calming inflammation.I just think the water cools the blood and does a great job resetting things to where they function best. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > HI EVERYONE, > > > > > > > I AM NEW TO THE GROUP AND WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE CAN > > > HELP AS MY > > > > > > > 18YR OLD AUTISTIC SON HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SEVERE HEAD NECK > > > JAW AND > > > > > > > EYE PAIN ALL AT ONE TIME,WAS WONDERING COULD THIS BE SINUSITIS OR > > > > > > > MIGRAINE NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS,PLEASE IF ANYONE COULD > > > THROW > > > > > > > SOME LIGHT AS HE HAS BEEN IN A LOT OF DISCOMFORT FOR OVER 6 > > > MONTHS OR > > > > > > > MORE AND ON OCCASION HAS BANGED HIS HEAD IN PAIN > > > > > > > > > > > > > > THANK YOU > > > > > > > ANNETTE > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > > > > > > > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > > > > > > > Version: 8.0.238 / Virus Database: 270.11.32/2030 - Release Date: > > > > > 03/30/09 08:40:00 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > > > > > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > > > > > Version: 8.0.238 / Virus Database: 270.11.32/2030 - Release Date: > > > 03/30/09 08:40:00 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > > > > > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > > > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > > > Version: 8.0.238 / Virus Database: 270.11.35/2033 - Release Date: 03/31/09 13:05:00 > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Penny , you’ve put 2+2 together and come up with 6 …… Olmesartan works by blocking receptors for angiotensin … angiotensin [a hormone or cytokine depending where you get your information from] promotes inflammation …the bugs up regulate the angiotensin receptors … the resulting inflammation hides the bugs from the immune system .. the same thing happens in the progression of cancer….cancer cells promote angiotensin in the same way … Blocking the effect therefore removes a constraint on the immune system not as you say suppresses the immune system. Steroid therapy is introducing hormones into the body ..the exact opposite of blocking a hormones effect .Steroid therapy is notorious for downgrading the immune system . Have you considered that the effect you describe “flu” could be the bodies defences acting against bugs you were hosting but not mounting an immune response to? Personally I developed gout that lasted for a couple of weeks when I started taking ARB’s There’s no doubt that the use of ARB’s in treating both infection and cancer is a major breakthrough ..trails in Japan BTW treating prostrate cancer victims have been very successful . moves are afoot to conduct more trails. Cancer, inflammation and the AT1 and AT2 receptors. GR, Missailidis S. Research Department, Perses Biosystems Limited, University of Warwick Science Park, Coventry, CV4 7EZ, UK. gary.smith@.... The critical role of inappropriate inflammation is becoming accepted in many diseases that affect man, including cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, infection and cancer.This review proposes that cancer up-regulates the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor through systemic oxidative stress and hypoxia mechanisms, thereby triggering chronic inflammatory processes to remodel surrounding tissue and subdue the immune system. Based on current literature and clinical studies on angiotensin receptor inhibitors, the paper concludes that blockade of the AT1 receptor in synergy with cancer vaccines and anti-inflammatory agents should offer a therapy to regress most, if not all, solid tumours. With regard to cancer being a systemic disease, an examination of supporting evidence for a systemic role of AT1 in relationship to inflammation in disease and injury is presented as a logical progression. The evidence suggests that regulation of the mutually antagonistic angiotensin II receptors (AT1 and AT2) is an essential process in the management of inflammation and wound recovery, and that it is an imbalance in the expression of these receptors that leads to disease. In consideration of cancer induced immune suppression, it is further postulated that the inflammation associated with bacterial and viral infections, is also an evolved means of immune suppression by these pathogens and that the damage caused, although incidental, leads to the symptoms of disease and, in some cases, death. It is anticipated that manipulation of the angiotensin system with existing anti-hypertensive drugs could provide a new approach to the treatment of many of the diseases that afflict mankind.

Or did it all come down to the antimicrobials for you? --- On Thu, 4/2/09, dumbaussie2000 <dumbaussie2000 .au> wrote: From: dumbaussie2000 <dumbaussie2000 .au> Subject: [infections] Re: SON SEVERE HEAD NECK EYE AND JAW PAIN infections Date: Thursday, April 2, 2009, 5:40 PM Again you stick your head in the sand..How can you possably post on this forum the benefits of a failed therapy/protocol! Where have you been for the past three years..I had the flu last week and it was absolutely normal, under someones protocol while taking those stupid drugs, my last two flu's while on the therapy made me feel like I was being thrashed to within an inch of my life. Also I was surprisingly picking up more than my fare share of these virus's.. Also I don't come on here like a messiah claiming to be able to fix all with a single handed approach..I come here and say look at what your dealing with and treat it accordingly, DON"T GUESS..Treating appropriately is why medicine created the 100 or so antimicrobials/ antifungals in there arsenal. > > > > > > > > > > > > HI EVERYONE, > > > > > > I AM NEW TO THE GROUP AND WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE CAN > > HELP AS MY > > > > > > 18YR OLD AUTISTIC SON HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SEVERE HEAD NECK > > JAW AND > > > > > > EYE PAIN ALL AT ONE TIME,WAS WONDERING COULD THIS BE SINUSITIS OR > > > > > > MIGRAINE NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS,PLEASE IF ANYONE COULD > > THROW > > > > > > SOME LIGHT AS HE HAS BEEN IN A LOT OF DISCOMFORT FOR OVER 6 > > MONTHS OR > > > > > > MORE AND ON OCCASION HAS BANGED HIS HEAD IN PAIN > > > > > > > > > > > > THANK YOU > > > > > > ANNETTE > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > > > > > > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > > > > > > Version: 8.0.238 / Virus Database: 270.11.32/2030 - Release Date: > > > > 03/30/09 08:40:00 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > > > > > > > > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > > > > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > > > > Version: 8.0.238 / Virus Database: 270.11.32/2030 - Release Date: > > 03/30/09 08:40:00 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message. > > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > > Version: 8.0.238 / Virus Database: 270.11.35/2033 - Release Date: 03/31/09 13:05:00 > > > > > No virus found in this incoming message.
