Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I would also like to ask the group a question. I have been reading some posts on another group. It seems that I am hearing some protocals and medications that I have never heard mentioned here or from Dr. Shoemaker or anywhere else. like Vfend, Sporonax, Chromyln sodium, Xopenex and Caspofungin. I have read that there is a regular use of steroids in this group also. It seems nobody there has heard of Dr. Shoemaker which is not a problem, I am just curious as to the different types of treatment and since Dr. Shoemaker has not ever mentioned these medications to me and I have never read anything about them I am just wondering if anyone else has either. It appears that it is a doctor on this group that is talking about them. To be honest it also seems that this group has a large understanding and knowlede that makes complete sence to me as well. Maybe I am just being nieve but I kind of got the idea that the people that have gotten this illness figured out seem to use for the most part alot of the the same meds and treatment methods until I began to read things such as this elswhere. I will ask the same questions in that group as well but I was wondering if I could get some feedback on this from you all. Especially any of the doctors and proffesionals that are a part of this group. I would like to add that I am not doubting anything I am reading but I am certainly interested to know if there are other ways to treat this illness that I am un aware of and am really interesated to know if any of you have heard of any of this as well. If I have not been specific enough just let me know and I will try to be more detailed. Your comments are greatly appritiated. Chris...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Those are drugs for aspergillosis, mucormycosis, and other mycoses, mold illnesses, colonizations of the body, like when somebody has mold growing in their lungs or sinuses and then it penetrates into their brain or causes a systemic infection of their bloodstream. They are NOT uncommon, and they are very dangerous and frequently kill people. In the Bible, (Genesis. 3:19) when God casts Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden, he condemns us to a fate of being eaten by mold at the end of our lives. The Bible also tells us to remediate our homes and if we are not successful to tear them down 'stone from stone' (or something like that) Bleach is not mentioned. So, clearly, anything that threatens people so crucially ill is a potential moneymaker to some. The drug companies make a lot of money off of antifungal medications. The drugs that they use to mycoses are expensive and profitable. Many antifungals are themselves based on the structures originally discovered in the mold toxins that most molds use to increase their chances of reproduction by killing and then eating other living things, including us, as God described. The drug companies have estimated that globally, aspergillosis and other mycoses are a profitable, rising business trend for them and that the number of cases they treat will continue to grow and become even more profitable.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I went to Dr. Johanning and he said I should take Sporonax but I waited 8 months for appointment and after visit he resigned, so he wrote to me suggesting Sporonax. I couldn't get any of my local doctors to give it to me. I think a few on this site have taken Sporonax. Can you imagine waiting 8 months to see Dr. Shoemaker and then him resigning right after visit and all money, traveling expenses, etc wasted.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Good heavens no. That is crazy. Did you finally find a doctor to help with this? I don't know what these meds I listed are. I will do some looking. ldelp84227 <ldelp84227@...> wrote: I went to Dr. Johanning and he said I should take Sporonax but I waited 8 months for appointment and after visit he resigned, so he wrote to me suggesting Sporonax.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Thanks Jeanine. I will look at this. My curiosity is wondering why one group of people would use this type medication when Dr. Shoemaker is so admitedly against steroids. If I inderstand correctly he won't use them because they are harmful for this condition? The conflicting differences are interesting. who <jeaninem660@...> wrote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifungal also try search " antifungals and steroid synthesis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Just FYI, guys--you should ALL read the book of Leviticus 14 in your Bible. V. Re: [] Question on protocals and meds.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 You know what . It all fits like a puzzle. I have been looking under the microscope and found some very descriptive web pages all the sudden tonight. Along with my belief in God one thing I know is information can be withheld and sometimes your eyes are all the sudden opened wide and you see things you did not notic e previosly. Maybe I am just starting to freak out but I believe more likely I think things are begining to fit together like a puzzle. Between this group and now the other group added. (I will list the group if it is ok with everyone else) I believe I am really figureing this out. (At least what I am dealing with.) I will be talking to Dr. Shoemaker in the morning but I am wondering if aspergillis of the lungs might be part of this illness he has not delt with yet. If he has then maybe it is only now after the bioscapy that tteatment will change. These things are only speculation at this point but I can only attest what I am coughing up to aspergillus based on the descriptions and stuff I have found tonight. Parinoid maybe but I am thinking not. http://pathweb.uchc.edu/eAtlas/RESP/816.htm http://www.aspergillustrust.org/files/reduce_the_risk.pdf http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic246.htm Anyway, thank you very much for your post . I will update everyone tommorow and as I find out more. We in this house are about to put it in high gear. When it makes sence, it just makes sence. Chris...

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I just know I went to Dr. Johanning at the Environmental Center in Albany in 2000 I believe and after waiting 8 months for appointment my mom flew up from Florida and we took an exhausting train ride to Albany. Had a two hour visit and a month later when I called to get my report he had resigned. I spoke to him on the phone several times and he typed up a report but charged me 250.00 to get the report even though I had already paid, and said I was partially permanently disabled and I should take sporanox but I couldn't get anyone to give it to me. Finally many months later I convinced my ENT to give me Diflican for 8 months and by then my husband got ill and we lost insurance. The end of medical help for me. I went to University of Penn and they blew off candida and said just get a job, yeast won't hurt you. My infectious disease doctor said you are borderline imunosuppresive, just go on low carb diet, and he released me. My family doctor said it was out of his realm of expertise. So after a while I gave up trying to get help. > > WHO SAYS DR JOHANNING HAS RESIGNED???????????? > V. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 YOU'RE VERY VERY WELCOME, CHRIS. FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T DONE SO YET, READ LEVITICUS CHAPTER 14 IN YOUR BIBLE. AND YES, ASPIRGILLUS AND THE LUNGS IS VERY POSSIBLE, THE WAY I UNDERSTAND IT. A PERSON EXPOSED TO THE BUILDING WHERE I GOT SICK WAS ASKED IF HE WAS " PLAYING IN A WET, MOLDY BARN?! " THEY FOUND " SOMETHING IN HIS CHEST, " WHICH I'M SURE IS/WAS AN ASPIRGILLUS BALL. AND THIS FRICKING PLACE IS A SO-CALLED " HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " ITS AN OUTRAGE, & THOSE PEOPLE WHO KEEP THE PLACE OPEN ARE DOWNRIGHT CRIMINAL, AT LEAST IN MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE CARE, CHRIS. VICTORIA Re: [] Question on protocals and meds. You know what .

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Well I would like to hear about it because he resigned when I went to him. I had heard he was in research a few years back. Does he work for the Environmental Occupational Center in Albany. I can't remember the correct name. I even have the documents his office wrote to me that he resigned. He is supposed to be a great doctor but I didn't get any help except him linking my illness to the home and the results of my bloodwork. I wanted medical help. It even made my local doctors nervous when he called them to give me sporanax. Are you being treated by him? > > he has NOT resigned.....i talk to his office ALL the time. > victoria > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Half awake and awaiting my phone consult with Shoemaker here is my conclusion to what I read lastnight. While I am confused it seems to me that aspergillus of the lungs and sinus cavities appears to be recognized illnesses. And it appears there are three different forms of it. has it nailed that it seems to be a profit thing due to the fact that the meds for it are indead expensive and hard on the body and also looks like it is an ongoing treatment protocal based on other posts I have read. (read the last four sights I have isted in prior posts) Especially the one from Merch. If you put your mouse over the meds listed on this page you will see the common names I have listed previously. I have mentioned before that Dr. Shoemaker found brain damage in my cat scans and on the Merch page it explains in a severe case the aspergillus can go beyond the lung and/or sinus invasion to begin damage and/or breakdown on other organs to include the kidneys and brain. The UK seems to be the leading source of information on this but now I have read about it from several American sights as well. I am still looking at all of this so I don't want to sound like I know something I don't but it is getting very interesting to say the least. I will have much more to say about this later and as I study this but it looks as if this is going to sparck much conversations and questions both in the group and with me personaly. I fail to underastand how the aspergillus issue can be so recognized but sick building syndrome, chronic fatuige etc. continues to be evasive and in our heads. I am really begining to see that it is all a known illness but the government and pharmacutical companys are going to milk us all dry before it becomes an illness that the health insurance and government has to start picking up the costs to treat it. I don't know, check it out and tell me what you get out of the information I am talking about. dianebolton52 <dianebolton@...> wrote: > Hi Chris: Sporanox is used frequently out here in Texas.
