Guest guest Posted November 16, 2004 Report Share Posted November 16, 2004 Hi: I haven't had that procedure, but I looked at the website out of curiosity. This is just my opinion. First cold laser therapy doesn't stimulate blood flow. Cold clamps down vessels, thereby decreasing blood flow. And in his Q & A section, he states he uses a " form of growth hormone " for an off-label use. That right there scared me. As for insurance coverage, he said " Don't hold your breath " . Again, I say this is my opinion. I've been a nurse for 10 years and this guy has flags flying up everywhere. Be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Thanks , I wonder, if a person already has vascular problems and spinal fungal infections from mold exposure and a doctor is misdiagnoseing thier condition as back injury from something else and has them go through a series of steriod injections in the lower back and the first one causes so much pain with just inserting the needle that the doctor refuses to do the other two because he's never seen anyone have that kind of pain with this procedure. would one shot cause any prolonged effects besides about 4 days of hurting all over and bad headacke? like could it somehow affect them several months later? or would it be out of thier system by than? it's becomeing pretty clear to me that mold exposure basically sucks the water from our joints, tissues ect. and can cause brittle bones along with everything else. I have to wonder who many of those arachnoid syndrome patients were moldies and misdiagnosed and given steriod shots. gee the pain they would have gone through. my grandson that got so ill at my second home and had bald spots all over his head has very brittle bones now, he has had a broken arm and leg just from trying to keep up with the other boys, playing.and thats not the only effects he suffered from that hell hole. grrr I can't even think about it without getting so mad that I want to hurt someone. > > FYI, ALL......I KNOW , TOO, THAT GLUCOSAMINE CHONDROITIN HELPS MANY PATIENTS FOR JOINT PAIN.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Another thing that I think is important to mention is that the joint pains were a constant- things that reduced inflammation just reduced the perceived level of pain at that time, but as the mold git worse the pain got worse again.. and at times it was crippling.. I had to use a stick to support myself when I wanted to walk and I had to launch myself around the room and grab on to things to prevent myself from collapsing on the ground in pain.. For years I didn't realize that the mold was what was making me ill. I just knew that I was sick in a million different ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I think the reduction in all my symptoms came from not only getting out of the moldy homes but finding a place to live as mold free as possable and learning to practice avoidance. now they reaccure with many irratants because of mcs. yes, I took those things about 6 months after I got out and I do think they helped me detox some and NAC may of helped with me caughing up tons of mucus and fungal balls and gained most of my lung compacity back, can't say for sure. but the damage was done. I got to the point where I couldn't take any of these things without throwing them back up. I think to much of many things is just not good. > > For me, I think the first real, lasting reduction in my joint pain came when > I started taking NAC, alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl-l-carnitine along with > fish oil to try to reduce the inflammation.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 This comment caught my eye. Mold exposure can cause gluten intolerance per Dr. Shoemaker. It is an autoimmune disorder and can basically cause malnutrition. Nutrients are not absorbed and one can be deficient in vitamins and minerals including calcium. Pain and any other result of malnourishment can be the result. This is from personal experiencce. - " and had bald spots all over his head has very brittle bones now, he has had a broken arm and leg just from trying to keep up with the other boys, " > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Dr Fine’s research shows that approx 29% of people are gluten intolerant. This is almost one in three. Celiac disease is an advanced form of gluten intolerance when damage to the villi has occurred. Dr Fine says it is important to catch gluten intolerance before it reaches the stage where damage has occurred. In terms of the mechanism causing gluten intolerance and celiac disease there is no difference. It is caused by the presence of anti-gliadin antibodies, which are auto immune antibodies that can be formed by those who are genetically determined to do so. A low MSH would appear to be one of the means which can trigger the formation of these antibodies. HLA-DQ2 and/or HLA-DQ8 are genetic markers for both stages of gluten intolerance and as such both stages are an inherited autoimmune condition. The transcript of this talk by Dr Fine shows that they are the same. HYPERLINK " https://www.enterolab.com/StaticPages/EarlyDiagnosis.htm " https://www.enterolab. com/StaticPages/EarlyDiagnosis.htm I would still like to know if MCS that has been caused by VOC’s can be a trigger for gluten intolerance. I have also wondered if those who are susceptible to gluten intolerance and celiac disease may be more susceptible to developing MCS. It has been shown that there is a genetic susceptibility to MCS. >My understanding of Dr. Shoemaker's research is that he distinguishes between gluten intolerance and celiac disease, which does have a genetic origin. > -- No virus found in this incoming message.
