Guest guest Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I don't believe that the Immune system shuts down during pregnancy, but rather certain hormones come in to play to protect the unborn so that the mother does not expell the baby as a foreign object. Remember, during gestation, this tiny human is a host of the mother. If Mom also happens to have an illness that affects the immune system, she begins to feel better. I'm not sure, but I think the extra cortisol may be what does this. I'll have to read up more about this. I've heard that after the birth of the child, when the hormones go back to a normal state, mom usually has a rebound of the disease. I've had two pregnancies and during both of them, I felt like wonder woman.

How come pregnant women are ususally healthier than not ? Nature usually protects new life rather than the other way around. Just consider colostrum. Anyway, one should not let this claim become an obstacle. nne is still doing great on the Liefmann protocol. leonie cent wrote: > > very interesting ! thanks.... > > Re: rheumatic Re: New/Old and Effective RA Treatment > > , this is fascinating.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hi , I'm from the rheumatic group and saved your email. How is your wife going ? Did the hormone treatment keep working ? I just started antibiotics last month, after resisting for many years. However hormone treatment sounds interesting and in my case, my mother who was quite unwell with " mystery illnesses " during her liftetime, always got better when she was pregnant. If you still think the therapy is worthwhile, could you give me more information eg who do you consult to get the NBT treatments ? I'm in Australia. all the best, Leonie Cent rheumatic New/Old and Effective RA Treatment Hi Group, My wife , nne, has been battling Rheumatoid Arthritis for over three years with varying success. When the side effects from the antibiotics became more and more problematic, we searched for other options. Fortunately, I found the so-called HOLISTIC BALANCED TREATMENT on the web in a book by Dr. Null. It sounded promising and has all the credentials of a well researched and tested protocol. In addition to various publications by credible, outstanding MDs , the treatment was tested with great success in a double-blind study with 373 patients of all ages. This all goes back to the 60 s and 70 s. The major researcher, E. Liefmann, MD got interested in this subject when he observed that women with RA would lose the disease when they got pregnant and it came right back after the baby was born. For this reason, he studied the hormone situation. His treatment consists of taking sublingual drops of hormone solutions at various proportions, which are individually adjusted according to the response. To make a long story short, my wife tried it and within _three days_ the swelling of her hands, pain and stiffness started to fade. She is now two weeks into the program and is practically normal !! Physical and mental.No major side effects. The only reaction is a retracing (see Google retracing/healing) which is sign of healing. I realize that this is a rather short time of my wife's experience but in view of the tremendous success, I do not want to wait any longer and make everybody with RA aware of this phantastic treatment. This quick response pattern is fairly typical according to the administering MD.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hi, ! Thanks for your fascinating post! I always wondered why researchers didn't probe that relationship more deeply! I developed my first type of RA (psoriatic) after the birth of my 3rd child. I was severely impaired for about six months at which time I found I was pregnant with baby #4. I stopped my meds, but to my amazement, I continued to improve throughout the pregnancy. I stayed in remission until after the birth of baby #6. We moved to Turkey immediately after her birth, and it wasn't long before I flared. I discovered I was expecting again the day I forgot my pain pill and didn't notice! I immediately bought a test and turned up positive. Again, I stayed in remission for quite a while. It was until after the birth of my youngest (#8) after a pregnancy involving a lot of stress and five months of bedrest that I developed the first signs of RA. I always assumed the remission was due to reduced immune activity during pregnancy, but that doesn't really explain the prolonged remissions I would experience. I will be interested to read about this info. Blessings! Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi Leonie, It was nice to hear from you. It goes back to the old times, for us. Fortunately, RA is a thing of the past for nne. Although she still needs the hormone drops, her RA symptoms are gone and she feels fine. She still is lacking somewhat in energy but that may be related to other things, and being 76 puts on some limitations too. We like to think it should go back to what is was 10 and 20 years ago (don't we wish). Anyway, the hormone treatment of RA (this means RA only) is according to my wife's experience a dream come true. As I mentioned earlier, there are no problematic side effects and the treatment is so fast, painless and without bad feelings. No Herx, no stomach problems, no immune issues, nothing !! nne was so glad to get off all the medications and pain killers. Her nutrition is on the healthy side ( limitted dairy, very little sugar)but nothing extreme. In the application of the Liefmann Protocol, the sublinqual hormone drops are taken three times a day and as the picture improves the dose is gradually reduced. After four months, she switched to twice a day which is her present routine. By now, she is at about 40% of the initial dose. Similar to the AP, the treatment is guided by symptoms. If the dose is reduced too much ,RA symptoms like finger stiffness comes back. The ability to make a closed fist is a good indicator. The hormone dose is similarly guided by symptoms and feeling. There is a list of symptoms for estrogen and testosterone being to high or too low and it is easily corrected. Ever since nne is on the Liefmann protocol all her lab data are back to normal. Osteo arthritis is also controlled by the Liefmann protocol ! Now the prime question, estrogen and hormone related cancers. I thoroughly studied this aspect for obvious reasons and came up with some surprising and reassuring information. First of all, the overall treatment of about 23,000 patients with the Liefmann treatment showed no problems with cancer. A literature survey revealed that testosterone has preventive and protective properties when it comes to " female " cancers. In a study at the Lousiana Menopause Clinic, 4000 women were treated with testosterone supplementation. In the well documented study, the group taking testosterone had a cancer rate of less than half (46%) than that of the control group. Also, RA patients (male and female) typically have a subnormal testosterone level. To insure safety from cancer in general, nne applies dermal Progesterone ( 100 mg /day) to avoid estrogen dominance, takes DIM (di-indolylmethane) and eats many brassica vegetables (broccoli) to control the 2/16 metabolite ratio. See: http://www.tahoma-clinic.com/hrtbreastcancer.shtml Leonie, being in Australia it would be best if you find a cooperative doctor (your family doctor is probably the best choice, rheumatologists are the worst) who is willing to help you and contact stoparthritis.com for info. They will work with your doctor and provide all the info he/she needs.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi Jeff, Your 'perception' of Dr. Liefmann's name in connection with less than complimentary comments is correct. This was caused because Dr. Liefmann interfered with the comfortable income of too many rheumatologists and mainly the pharmaceutical industry which enjoyed a life-time customer with every suffering patient. Due to the ineffective treatments, the sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis had no choice but take anything that would reduce the pain, no matter what the cost and side effects. The accusation of Dr. Liefmann as a quack is typical, when one wants to bad-mouth serious competition and has no other valid argument. *_Facts:_ * E. Liefmann, MD, C.M. graduated from Hopkins University (Summa cum Laudae) and McGill University Medical School, Montreal, Canada. He did research on endocrine-based diseases and focused on rheumatoid arthritis. Later he was invited to the Stockholm University Hospital, Sweden, where he confirmed his earlier work with Hospital patients and published the results of a year's study in the ActaMedica Scandinavia. After his return to Montreal he continued his research and treated many patients who all came to him from everywhere. The success of this treatment brought the full force of opposition from rheumatologists and the pharmaceutical industry which saw their lucrative market melting away. One example serves to show the vicious and underhanded way by which they tried to eliminate him. His antagonists waited for a day when Dr Liefmann was out of town and sent two bogus clients to his office. They pretended to have severe rheumatoid pains and pleaded with the staff to give them a small sample of medication, which they did. Promptly, within several days the local physician board tried to revoke his license for letting unqualified staff members treat patients. Next, the local licensing board claimed there were no papers on file substantiating his qualifications and he could not practice in Quebec Province. After Dr. Liefmann hired a competent lawyer, the papers were miraculously found ! In a court deposition Dr. Liefmann expessed his frustration by stating " I feel like I am rushing into a stone wall, battling the backward, obstructive and Dam-the-Public Arthritis Societies, Government Agencies, Medical Organizations, and Drug Industry Cartells, all one big Combine, in many instances operating for maximum profits and minimum health " . In a way, the Liefmann story is a depressing example of how our health care system operates. From what I see, nothing has changed. It is probably worse ( see Wyeth/FDA and Estriol blocking in the US, while they advertise it in Europe!) As far as my wife's experience with the Liefmann Protocol is concerned, she is doing very well ( no beard !!!). .. All her lab data are normal and for her RA is practically a thing of the past although she still needs to take a small amount of the hormone drops. You were able to find publications back from the sixties. I wonder whether you could locate a book titled THE LIEFMANN EDOCRINE BALANCE RATIONALE, second printing 1967. I have no publisher. Another interesting book is ARTHRITIS DISCOVERY, The life story of Dr. Liefmann published by Commonwealth Publishing Co. Ltd, Freeport Bahamas; 1971 Jeffery wrote: > > > I am not suggesting I have any insight into the merits of this (or > much of anything these days), but I have heard of Mr. Liefmann's name > before in a less than complimentary context.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi, . I just love reading all this good news. Can you tell me where you get the hormone drops. Are these sublingual or transdermal? Is it a prescription? I know they are doing studies on hormones for RA, but it takes the medical community so long to get anywhere. I think there are many people that could be helped. Not everyone, but certainly some. Dr. Simeons writes about this hormone effect in his book called Pounds and Inches. This is a free book on the internet. I can vouch for having low testosterone. I'm taking testosterone cream and progesterone. One thing that had definitely been helping me lately is vitamin K. I take a bunch, and if I don't take it, pains start to come back. Amy Wiesboeck wrote: > > Hi Leonie, > > It was nice to hear from you.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hi Amy, You certainly responded in a hurry. Your questions: 1) The hormone drops are available from most any compounding pharmacy. We get ours from Weise Pharmacy, ville, FL 2) A doctor has to prescribe the sublinqual drops. 3) You can contact Arthritis Consulting Services (stoparthritis.com) for info for you and your doctor.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hi , I just got to see your mail to the group and got so excited reading it.It is as if you have described my case.I have always believed that my disease had something to do with Hormone Imbalances as my RA started just after the birth of my second child,when she was one and half months old.I always felt that their would be a connection with the increasing and decreasing levels of hormones in the body.I never heard about this protocol earlier.I have tried AP for six months but nothing happened.Maybe it was because I took the generic version of Minocycline and not the brand one.But now I want to go for this tehrapy desperately.I think my cure lies in the treatment of hormones.  My problem is I dont know where to look for it.I am staying in Bangkok for the last 3 yrs and dont have a family physician here.I do not know any doctor so closely as to talk about all this so openly.Where are you staying?I s your family doctor giving this treatment to your wife.Can a Gynaecologist administer this if approached.?Or can we do it ourself,as I was doing my AP taking guidance from all the guys in this group and all the available sites? It is so exciting to read about your wife,able to close her fist again,I just wish some day I'll be able to do that,let alone sitting on the beach etc etc.  Can you help me in any way?Thank You.  anamika From: Wiesboeck <rawie@...> Subject: Re: rheumatic New/Old and Effective RA Treatment rheumatic Date: Friday, 22 August, 2008, 6:36 AM Hi Leonie, It was nice to hear from you.

A literature survey revealed that testosterone has preventive and protective properties when it comes to " female " cancers. In a study at the Lousiana Menopause Clinic, 4000 women were treated with testosterone supplementation. In the well documented study, the group taking testosterone had a cancer rate of less than half (46%) than that of the control group. Also, RA patients (male and female) typically have a subnormal testosterone level. To insure safety from cancer in general, nne applies dermal Progesterone ( 100 mg /day) to avoid estrogen dominance, takes DIM (di-indolylmethane) and eats many brassica vegetables (broccoli) to control the 2/16 metabolite ratio. See: http://www.tahoma- clinic.com/ hrtbreastcancer. shtml Leonie, being in Australia it would be best if you find a cooperative doctor (your family doctor is probably the best choice, rheumatologists are the worst) who is willing to help you and contact stoparthritis. com for info. They will work with your doctor and provide all the info he/she needs.
