Compromised Immune Systems or Super Charged ?

[Guest guest]

Was: Irony of Chemicals: Friend and Foe Alike

I have a lot of trouble with my skin also...very much, but not herpes

type sore. I've been to a couple of dermatologist. One was biopsied

and came back negative for lymphoma which he was testing for. I asked

if they checked for viruses and fungi and he said generally they do.

He said many times he has sent samples in and they have

found 'ringworm'. I just wanted to say, how about 'aspergillus'? or

other fungi but he is about 90 and I didn't want to challenge him.

Anyway, herpes viruses are many different forms. I had encephalitis as

complications of German Measles when I was five years old. It kills

kids. I was lucky but I was told I cannot donate blood because I carry

it all my life, as it is a herpes virus and herpes hides in your bones,

so will never be gone. That's one type. Then I had Epstein Bar virus

a few years ago and was told that is a type of herpes also that causes a chronic

form of mononucleosis. Singles is another form of herpes virus that causes a

burning rash around your waist and it's hallmark is that it only goes half way

around, etc. Usually people get herpes 'back', it comes out of hiding in bone

marrow, when your defenses get weak, so there is one case of something I had

that would indicate a weakened immune system so this whole thing IS very

confusing.

If they found ringworm in a culture, I would listen to him.

Getting rid of parasites would seem to be crucial to getting your health back.

Does it really matter that a parasite was not the first health issue

you noticed?

Its still a nasty bug you need to treat.

If you go to biotoxin.info, Dr. Shoemaker explains what he calls his

biotoxin pathway.

That is just one of many " biotoxin pathways " that exist I am sure. At

this point, your goal should be getting better.

I would be thankful for any hard information you can get from testing.

Don't fall into the trap of not seeing the forest for the trees.

Old doctors often have more common sense than young ones.

Yes, it is very confusing because I also have chronic " ringworm "

(fungal rash is now what I like to call it) and now I guess these so-

called herpes sores are also fungal related)....

I have learned so much from this group and keep learning more and

more. There's so much information!

Thanks to everyone for all your input,

Dana

Okay, there is confusion here. I probably didn't write it clearly.

I asked dermatologist, who is very caring, excellent dermatologist

really, if pathologist he sent skin biopsies to generally looks for

fungi even if he doesn't request it. (He sent my sample off with

concern about lymphoma which it came back negative for lymphoma,

thank goodness), and he said yes, and then he gave me example of many

times he has sent in skin biopsies, not thinking it was fungi himself

or asking specifically for fungi to be tested for, and results came

back positive for 'Ringworm'. He wasn't refering to my skin biopsy,

but I wondered if only common fungi skin infections like Ringworm was

all pathologist looks for but didn't ask since biopsy had already

been done. I didn't mean because of his age he was incompetent, but

rather at his age, practicing dermatology for about 60 years, he

probably does whatever he does and not going to change, because I, as

someone not from any medical school, thought something else should be

tested.

Sometimes the words don't express what one is trying to say.
