Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'm in the UK and it is the first time that I have heard about this treatment. I am on MTX and Sulfasalazine. Ken.

The debilitating condition occurs when the cartilage in bone joints wears away, leaving bones to rub painfully together. Inflammation can follow, and that inflammation can trigger the body to release a protein that battles the inflammation -- but also destroys more cartilage. A second protein helps protect the cartilage, but too often there isn't enough. Now, reported the British paper, doctors can take blood from a patient, grow more of the defensive protein and then inject a serum with the proteins back into the patient's joints. The process is called Orthokine therapy. Wehling, a former surgeon working on the new therapy, said 75 percent of patients in a recently released study saw improved mobility and less inflammation, the Daily Mail reported. The process is available in several European countries, including the UK as of this month. " By the time I was 60, the pain was coming every six weeks and would often leave me struggling to walk for any distance, " said one patient. " Following the treatment, I felt almost instant relief. Within a week I could touch my toes for the first time in years and I could play golf again. I felt as if I had gone back 20 years. The full effect began to wear off about 12 months later, but I haven't needed a top-up yet. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yes, people in the U.K. do use this treatment, if you are talking about A/P! The first thing to do is read the books by Dr. MacPherson Brown and Henry Scammell. Check them out at the library or buy them new or used on Amazon.com. That is what I did. They call this treatment A/P. Stands for antibiotic protocol. Once you understand the reason behind starting on the antibiotic Minocin, you can start your hunt for finding a doc who will be willing to do this protocol for you. Here in the U.S., that is the hardest part. The majority of docs are schooled in the old treatment that dampens down the immune system. This protocol acknowledges the fact that our diseases are caused by bacteria and possibly fungii. The point is to kill the offending organisms, thereby, helping the immune system get back on track doing the job it was meant to do. The immune system stops working when it is so overloaded with bacteria that it is overwhelmed and can't do the job of killing the organisms. Please read the books. They explain everything. Check out the names of the books by typing in the authors on amazon. Good luck getting on board. It is hard work getting there, but the rewards are good. Take it from one who did and has never looked back. The best to you, Dolores From: phine Bradshaw <jjosie007@sbcglobal .net> Subject: rheumatic Has anyone from the UK heard or tired this treatment?
