MS stuff

[Guest guest]

Mike and Tim,

Thank you for your responses to me about lyme and candida treatment. It is so

hard to know what road to take--seeking a lyme diagnosis, doing a fast, doing a

candida cleanse, getting chelation, doing parasite and liver cleansing, the

Prokarin Patch, and the list goes on, including those who seem to be OK just

with the BBD alone and of course the ever controversial CCSVI.

Speaking of all the different treatments to pursue, I met a lady who told me her

cousin was cured of MS by a doctor in New York named Dr. Chang. She was

very adamant about that he cured her of MS and thinks I need to see him. Has

anyone heard of him? I looked him up and he is a physician who practices eastern

and western medicine and treats a lot of cancer but also does say in his blog

that he treats MS. Here are two links about him:

y-etc/

So I just don't know how I could try so many roads without even knowing what the

underlying cause is. I certainly don't have the money or energy to go on 15

different paths, such as the ones listed above and many more. If I had a lot

more energy and a lot more money I suppose I could just get tested for one thing

at a time. But it doesn't even seem like testing is very accurate, for example

many question the testing of mercury because it hides in the body so they say.

> You may be able to find a LLMD near you that participates with IgeneX labs

(http://igenex.com/Website/) by contacting IgeneX directly.  If you haven't

already done so, I'd call all of the LLMD's that they give you (near you and

not)Don't just go off what your ins. co. tells you. You may find one who is

in/out of network for your ins.  Also, The Western Blot is a valid test for

diagnosing a particular Lyme bacteria (I believe Borrelia).  The problem is that

MD's usually stop there.  IgeneX does a wider panel of bacterial tests as well

as co-infections that won't be detected on a Western Blot alone.  And you can't

stop there.  Fry Labs does additional testing IgeneX doesn't and vice-versa. As

for antibiotics, the spirochete bacteria is more dangerous to your body if left

untreated than antibiotics.  There are alternative/holistic testing/treatment

options. check out this link http://www.ehealthland.com/Kits_Boiron.asp.  I

believe my LLMD

> used a portable test kit like the one in the link.  He told me that 100% of

the patients who tested positive using the homeopathic test came back positive

on their IgeneX blood work (I was positive for Lyme); so it may be worth looking

into...........Good Luck
