Re: Definition infection/inlammation

Gretchen,

I realise you are the leader in this group and you are trying to help people, as

well as hoping for a cure for CMT some day; like all of us. I also realise that

the American way isn't always the only way, let alone the right way.

If you look into Traditional Chinise Medicine, they believe that any

inflammation at any degree is infection. It doesn't say; definition of

inflammation is infection but if you read articals from TCM doctors you don't

even have to read between the lines to comprehend it.

I believe we all have the ability to better our health no matter what the

situation is. And not everyone can tolerate the American way;

( medicine that kills )

If I can't help anyone, because someone always has to be right, then I'm outta

here.

Chances of me taking poisin to be cured are 1 to none because scientists will

never be able to cure disease. Nutrition will if the disease is caught in time.

I'm sure you won't post this one and I don't care. Take me off your list if you

wish. No lose to me.

I appreciate your thoughts and sharing your experience with Eastern Medicine. We

are all different and travel many paths in our quest to remain as healthy as we

can.

I posted the definitions simply for knowledge. In my experience, an infection

can also cause inflammation in surrounding tissue, so the two * can * go hand in

hand. Western medicine's use of anti-biotics saved me from a serious round of

blood poisioning and also saved me from any lasting effects and heart damage

from Rheumatic Fever.

I am also painfully aware of my allergic reactions to many plant based

alternatives such as Nightshades in diet, potato, tomato, and eggplant. Of these

alkaloids, I am also allergic to Scopolamine (for motion sickness) and use

Ginger instead.

I am just curious, not trying to be right. How exactly has your CMT been *

healed *, or are you just referring to infections and inflammation? I'd like to

know about your gait, any balance difficulties, ataxia, tremors, using assistive

devices, etc.

Gretchen
