Guest guest Posted January 24, 2000 Report Share Posted January 24, 2000 It's me again ! LFT's are Liver Function Tests (like the AST and ALT) After I wrote that last note to you I thought of an analogy to your doctor not wanting to start treatment unless a viral load is over 2,000,000. If you saw a cockroach in your house would you kill it right away or wait until you had thousands to kill off? I'm almost sure a saw something somewhere (so specific, aren't I!) that said treatment was more likely to be successful if initiated as early as possible with HepC. It just seems like common sense too.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2000 Report Share Posted January 25, 2000 Claudine- I have read the same something several times in regards to treatment when viral levels are low. It seems like common sense to me. I think the turnabout is the insurance companies. The treatment is expensive, has a rather poor rate of success, and since so many of us are starting to show up, their profit rate is dropping, greedy bastards. I believe it will be harder for people to receive treatment in the near future because of this. News breaks such as the one recently that declares that HCV is not such a deadly disease after all is not going to help us a bit either. HCV affects much more than the liver-it turns the immune system upon one's own body. I suffer from cryo/fibro from my immune response to the virus and SS as a direct result of treatment with Infergen. It has been almost 5 months since going off Infergen & I still have to grease my eyes at night to keep them from drying out & tearing (tear-such as torn pants) in my sleep. Day-lots of drops & lousy, blurry vision. There are many other immune dysfunctions caused by HCV, this is why some of us sought treatment in the first place! My viral levels have always been low (generally around 5,000, excpet upon relapsing, then a short 10x jump & then falls back), MINIMAL liver damage-yet I have suffered greatly from my immune response to the damn virus and so do many others. Viral levels be damned-this disease sucks! Gail RE: to From: " Claudine Crews " <claudinecrews@...> It's me again !

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 .. what is your genotype? I deleted your letter if you said already sorry. I have heard of genotype determining treatment and liver biopsy but not pcr. Did he state what stage you had fibrosis? There are usually 4 stages of fibrosis and 4 stages of cirrhosis, altho some systems use more stages. Good luck alley/ ICQ 12631861 alleypat@... <mailto:alleypat@...> http://micromagic.net/~alleypat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 ... thanks for the advice on the metamucil I'll try it out. Usually I get them after feeling so well for a while and " forgetting " to pace myself and I end up over doing it (I was always an overdooer). As for treatment, I need PCR, genotype and liver biopsy first. It's not that I'm not deciding one way or the other. At the present, I'm just broke. We went from a $85,000 a year household to zero right after the first. I got laid off again last fall. Hubby right after christmas. Neither of us had insurance for several years now. But I've an interview thursday morning and it may luck out into a perm job with insurance. Cross yer fingers! With normal LFT's, many gastros are not recomending treatment if also little to no fibrosis. I don't know yet tho so we'll see. Thankfully the gastro I have will work with me whatever we feel is best. alley/ ICQ 12631861 alleypat@... <mailto:alleypat@...> http://www.mailbonus.com/index.cfm?ref=alleypatflash (DOT) net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2000 Report Share Posted April 16, 2000 Barefoot also says that what draws oxygen best into the cancer cells is cesium (69). Best dJR Dear - My reply would be to wish you God speed and much success! And I mean that. I thought it most interesting Warburg discovered the nature of cancer cells to be plant-like, not human-like. (1931) So, let's see ... what's lethal to plants but beneficial to humans??? Hydrogen peroxide? Weed-be-gone? (OK, forget Weed-be-gone. Bad joke) Anyway, have you ever looked into Microhydrin, colloidal silica coated with a thick layer of rapidly dispersing H-minus ions, as a helpmate drawing oxygen into the cells? It's now sold in capsule form by an MLM company. They have the exclusive on it. Calcium chemist turned public speaker Bob Barefoot says the interplay between calcium and magnesium is where it's at when it comes to transporting nutrients and waste back and forth through the cell wall - sort of like pack animals. - Art B [ ] to Donna K. Hi Donna - I know you know most of the following already, but for the sake of some who may not .... In reply to your general questions about how do we, 1. Cure cancer that may be present My approach would be ..... Immediately start with MGN3 and also - slowly but surely - remove toxins via cleanses, etc. (Too much too fast will make you feel horrible.) Also, go with the detoxification procedures everyone is talking about here, especially removing mercury dental fillings and other heavy metals. All these factors weaken our #1 guardian, the immune system, and our overworked liver. I talked to a large health food store owner in Florida and she said IB-6 used to be the top immune system booster sold in the store until MGN3 showed up. So we have 2 big guns now. Start with a good digestive system cleaner with all the soluable/insoluable fibers and so on. Slow but sure. Must have FOS in them, a food for the beneficial bacteria culture we badly need down there for digestion and other purposes. Health food stores sell a bunch of these type products. A superior probiotic culture available by mail is FloraSource, (1-800-914-6311). A very imporatant overlooked factor in health. The newer so-called green food powders are amazing all-over body strengtheners and typically contain spirulina, various sprouts, grasses (barley, wheat, etc.) and a flock of other powerhouses nutrients like chlorella, green tea, herbs and so on. All in one product. Noticeably strengthened me within days. Surprised and pleased with the results! Multi-enzymes with every meal unless it is all fresh foods! Partially digested food creates God-awful toxins and both get in the blood stream. Guess who's job it is to take care of most of it? The immune system and the liver. Again they get overworked. Expect to see more and more focus on enzymes in the years ahead. For instance, an exceptional nutritionist I'm lucky to know told me the reason people get acid stomach, heartnburn etc. is that there are not enough enzymes present to digest the food eaten. So the body dumps more acid as a sort of desperation measure. For acid stomachs simply take digestive enzymes- NOT Tums. Better yet, always take them before eating. Cooking destroys the enzymes we need which naturally occur in fresh food. Most break down at about 115 - 120 degrees F. 2. Prevent cancers From all I've gathered we can't. That is to say everyone has cancer cells within them usually taken care of by the immune system very nicely. When it gets too weak or overwhelmed for whatever reason, cancer gets the upper hand. Nevertheless, personal opinion here is that two appoaches are very, very close to the mark as to the basic cause. I stress personal opinion. Hulda (one of my favorite people) with her parasite elimination program has had too much success for too many years to be ignored. See her book " The Cure For All Cancers " . And ..... the renewed focus on the relationship between cancer and the lack of enough alkaline minerals in the diet. Cancer, it seems takes off when the body gets too acid. These important minerals neutralize damaging acids in our system. See the book " The Calcium Factor " by scientist and national public speaker Bob Barefoot (yes, a funny name), and Dr. Carl Reich, MD. About $17.00. A MUST read. The authors include 300 current scientific references regarding lack of calcium and cancer. Expect this key info to take decades to make its way throught the conventional medical bureaucracy into doctor's offices. I say renewed focus because w-a-a-a-y back in 1934, a brilliant German scientist named Dr. Otto Warburg received a Nobel prize for his breakthrough work in understanding cancer. In short, he created cancer where none had existed before in all manner of lab and farm animals by simply making their systems overly acidic. After neutralizing the excess acids, the cancers reversed by themselves. No treatment used by the conventional medical system today even takes into consideration this landmark science. To me this utterly beyond belief. Bureaucracy ........ home of the devil. Art B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get paid for the stuff you know!

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2000 Report Share Posted May 16, 2000 , What a piece of work you are. You come to a list of people exploring alternatives because conventional medicine has failed them, and then you give an unattributed but official-sounding quote that amounts to a death warrant. > " Comparing the number of convincing testimonials of cure with the number of > cancer sufferers known to use alternatives <ie the " data " >, the permanent > cure rate of metastatic cancer with alternatives may well be less than one > in a thousand <ie a " statistic " >. " Please allow me the pleasure of ripping this crap apart. Let's start with the word " convincing " . Convincing to who? Convincing to the patient? Convincing to Quackwatch? What about this selective use of the word " cure " ? Conventional people avoid that word like plague [as it is not what they can offer] and then, after defining away the very existence of a cure, they use it to denigrate other treatments that are often curative. And now, " alternatives " is visited on us by the conventional guys. You certainly are not using one of our definitions. Let me guess. An alternative is anything that is used or not used after a patient is sent home to die? What kind of loose usage is " permanent cure rate " ? Does a cure scare you that much? If a person dies of other causes 15 years down the road, is the " cure " discarded as it was not proven to be permanent? " Metastatic cancer " is a subset of all cancer. Your quote ignores all successes with local cancers. Are all alternative successes redefined as being most probably non-metastatic? misdiagnosis? unclear because of prior conventional therapy? can't seem to contact the patient? or your favorite, you imply that you reject an alternative treatment as being valid if several things are used as you can't parse out what is working. " ...may well be less than... " is a weasel phrase. It does not preclude a 100% success rate with alternative methods, now does it? , without begging the question, I can show you how conventional treatment has never cured a single case of cancer, and any and all real cures use alternative means. By way of mutual understanding, let's define " conventional " treatment as the use of usual and approved " treatments " for whatever purpose. " Alternative " is the use of a variety of natural nutrients, supplements, procedures, mental states, and perhaps energies such that the combined use contributes to wellness. Alternative may also include the avoidance of anything which experience has shown to work against recovery. It may also include theories that are contrary to the reigning paradigm. " Unconventional " is the reliance on anything that works: alternative, suppressed research, electromagnetic, unlabeled use of meds -- a no holds barred approach. You readily admit that statistics can be deceiving. Garbage in, garbage out. So I'll do the exact same thing that you do. Any supposed cure of metastatic cancer that conventional medicine claims, I look at as anecdotal. It is easy enough to understand all the deaths in conventional cancer treatment. When you combine treatments, each of which has a long string of unwanted, life-threatening side effects, you have an additive or even synergistic effect of toxicities. But is it possible for anyone to be cured by conventional medicine? I examined all these anecdotal " documented " tales of conventional cures, and guess what I found? Every single one of them unwittingly made use of alternative or unconventional techniques! These techniques often make use of documented synergisms that are ignored by conventional medicine. It has been documented that 60% of all hospital patients are deficient in Vitamin D. You'd think that a little squirt of calcitriol would be de rigueur. (Uh,Oh! Off label!) But say the cancer patient caught a little sun and with the documented synergism with the few retinoids that survived Food Services, voila! the patient gets a new lease on life. It is often even more simple than that. There are documented cases of spontaneous remission of renal cancer because the patient stopped using phenylisopropanolamines for the sniffles. So the person gets a runny nose. Gosh almighty. The mucus is loaded with IFNa which is active in as small as a 50unit/ml concentration when exposed to mucosa associated lymphatic tissue (MALT). The IFNa works synergistically with the retinoids (especially well with squamous). What of the cancer patients who get infections (nosocomial, of course) with a fever? You are already pumping so much glucose in the poor conventional victims that they also have to deal with iatrogenic acidosis. But what is this -- a Turkish researcher has shown that by raising temperature and dropping blood pH you can kill every cancer cell in experimental dog cancers in half an hour. Just plain starch fillers in hot dogs can be oxidized by the presence of the nitrate preservatives in the HCl environment of the stomach to yield glucaric acid. This little bit acts synergistically with many Vitamin A derivatives to induce differentiation. What about all the natural stilbenes (eg, resveratrol) that you are inadvertantly oxidizing to the differentiating substituted aromatic aldehydes? These are additionally hyperthermia sensitizers. Take away that extra blanket--someone might get well! What of the mercury chelators in the celantro in the chili that unfetter the immune system, or some of the natural sulfur compounds now being researched that are effective in femtogram quantities? What of the lycopene in tomato paste on the pizza that works synergistically with the Vitamin E in the crust? That's documented against prostate cancer. , I get so weary of your allopathic nonsense with those misleading statistics that you try to hide behind. But, because I like you I'll do you a favor. Show me a half dozen best cases of allopathic supposed cancer cures (or " complete remissions " in your parlance) and we'll do a little study. I will show you exactly how the waters are muddied. Without exception I am certain that we can find that these patients were cured in spite of, not because of, your insane treatments. Have you no shame that your allopathic " treatments " deprive your victims of important months where they could benefit from natural healing methods? I'm sure many on the list are amused that you trot out Di Bella and to support your point of view. Di Bella's treatments were allopathic. He used somatostatin and melatonin. These inhibit growth rates but won't kill cancer. " Inhibiting growth rates " is allopath lingo for, " You can pay through the nose for a few extra months. " Italians wanted the basic human right of being able to test and use anything they want in the treatment of a fatal disease. Three cheers for the people of Italy! is an allopath who has been disowned by many of the people who developed the chymotrypsin strategy. Some even believe that it encourages metastasis. There are better natural cancer strategies (BBIP) that inhibit chymotrypsin. ' statistics are miserable. Perhaps this is why the establishment grantors love him. There are much better strategies to knock out pancreatic cancer, such as metenkephlin. Or better yet, I bet you never considered DLPA to inhibit catabolism of native endorphins? Use a dollar's worth of DLPA and kick back with " Duck Soup " and you have synergistic mu-receptor binding. (So as not to mislead the list, this strategy is not curative. It slowly induces shrinkage and buys time to sort out an appropriate immune therapy or cancer vaccine. Pancreatic tumors are often tough to deal with because of their high stromal pressures. I disagree with those who consider it necessary to use dexamethasone to deal with this.) , mister medical scientist, you wouldn't be on this list to find new treatments to denounce and suppress, would you?

Art, There was a time many years ago that I considered allopathic medicine for a career. I was lucky (?) enough to have an extreme fast forward in that direction. The four things that made me decide against it were: 1. The leash laws. The guilds keep their dogs entrained. 2. Clinical medicine is too far behind research medicine. 3. 80-90% of prescription drugs are retardo. I would never use them. 4. The field had strayed too far from nature. I think it was both the economics and the hubris of synthetic chemistry that conspired against nature. I believe the iatrogenic death rate is many, many times higher that believed. This is simply because of the impoverished medicament choices that allopaths have in treating their patients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
