Alternative treatment

[Guest guest]

Is anyone interested in alternative treatment for so-called auto-immune

diseases? I was diagnosed with Polymyalagia Rheumatic early this

summer, had a biopsy to remove 2 " pieces of artery from each temple to

rule out Giant Cell Arteritis, for which I had symptoms. Negative. I

was put on 80 mg. Prednisone which made me a zombie, and also got me

addicted to it, so even though I'm down to 10 mg. Prednisone/da, I'm

still stiff and aching - and still going through withdrawal. My family

Dr's only recommendation is to increase Prednisone. I refuse to do that.

My nephew and his buddy's mom were both diagnosed with Rheumatoid

Arthritis some years ago. They went through the Prednisone, anti-cancer

drugs, etc. from their Rheumatologist that I read some of you are

taking. Some of these drugs seem to have horrid side effects, & most of

you have not gotten better. First the mom I mentioned went to a family

Dr. in a small town in western IA who believes these so called

auto-immune diseases are caused by bacteria remaining undetected from a

previous infection, which " lurk " in the body and later attack the

joints, heart valves, eyes, etc. The medical community is now accepting

that Lyme Disease can cause arthritic disease and that antibiotics are

the answer. But they still stick with the standard treatments for other

arthritic diseases. The drug companies, of course, want to keep selling

new profitable drugs. Dr. Sinnott uses low dose, long term antibiotic

treatment, with minocycline and/or tetracycline. Long term meaning LONG

TERM. But he claims 80% remission rate. His patients say " cure " rate,

Dr. says " remission. " My nephew says " he saved me. " Drug companies

scoff at him.

Dr. Sinnott believes that most of the drugs used in auto-immune diseases

treat the symptoms while the disease progresses. He believes one must

kill off the bacteria causing the allergy, which causes the body to

attack itself. He has used this therapy for decades and treated

hundreds and hundreds of people from many states and 6 foreign countries.

I begin his treatment Oct. 10, probably with 2 IVs a day for 5 days,

then oral medication for a long time.

I've posted this before and no one seems interested even though some of

you are suffering so much.. If you're not getting relief from what you

going through, at least look at these websites. My only interest in

this is regaining my health.
