Guest guest Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Hi Georgia, If I were you I would straight off test if your son has low cortisol. Unfortunately people battling with Lyme long-term often get this problem. The adrenal gland is one of the biggest users of cholesterol and if it is lacking the other nutrients it needs, it may be failing to make enough of its own hormones (cortisol, adrenaline etc) and letting the backlog of cholesterol accumulate. I've been battling this problem myself - there's a bunch of nutrients you need to deal with it. The usual signs of low cortisol are tiredness, especially struggling to get up in the morning. Often there is a sudden burst of energy just when it is time to go to bed. There is quite often an increase in aggression, and a lack of ability to deal with any stressful situation. The body's ability to deal with toxins is impaired and the time taken to heal from cold and any infectious illnesses and injuries is lengthened. The ability to lay down short term memories, particularly of scary experiences that should teach lessons, is lost. The main sign of low adrenaline is mental dopiness and inappropriate reactions to danger (lack of fear). The best cortisol test is 4 strips of paper that you swipe in your mouth the find out how much cortisol is in the saliva - if your doctor is not co-operative you can just order them off the internet and do it yourself. I can give you tons more info on this if you are interested in checking your son. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Where are you guys ordering the GcMAF? I am getting my son tested for Nagalese soon, and if the results are high I was going to try GcMAF. Will your regular pediatrician do the injections or are you using your LLMD? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Mason > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > To: BorreliaMultipleInfectionsAndAutism > > > > > > > From: georgiasand32@ > > > > > > > Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 04:19:14 +0000 > > > > > > > Subject: GcMAF--When to start?

But not sure at what point would be the most beneficial to actually try this--before starting long-term antibiotics, during long-term antibiotics and Lyme treatment or after he (hopefully) ever gets Lyme under control? Would it be a waste to try GcMAF before ridding the body of Lyme and co-infections? I thought this was the whole point of GcMAF in the first place; to help the body's immune system overcome viruses. But Lyme is so tough I am concerned I would be wasting our non-existent money on a therapy that would have a better chance if/when we get Lyme under control. Any thoughts on this would be very welcome. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
