Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 thanks for the site, I signed up.

Today there were three interesting articles relating to inflammatory response (Arthritis & Rheumatology, Lupus, etc.) The third article, " Discovery Of A Key Protein Regulator of Inflammation and Cell Death " , eludes to infection as a root cause of inflammatory conditions.. .. " Researchers have long sought this elusive protein that senses the presence of DNA in the cytoplasm, which is associated with pathogenic INFECTION or the escape of undigested self-DNA into the cytoplasM... we not only identified the key protein in this process, but also discovered how this protein reacts to DNA and causes inflammation " . This protein is involved in the detection and reactions to dangerous cytoplasmic DNA that is produced by infection with viral or microbial pathogens. " Sounds like this may be applicable to infection by mycoplasma or Lyme disease. The first two articles address scientists discovering an abnormality in one patient's immune system that may lead to safer treatments for 'autoimmune' diseases such as R/A. She produces antibodies that PREVENT infection-fighting T cells from moving through her blood stream and entering her body's organs TO ATTACK invaders such as bacteria or viruses. This discovery may explain why A/P works on only 75-80% of people who try it. Go to www.medicalnewstoda y.com. On the left you will see " New Category Menu " .

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi Dolores: I'm happy you found this information helpful and sincerely hope others in this group do as well. I believe we are on the right track. I feel it is important to show our respective physicians that we are 'informed' about all the information out there and that we are not simply going to sit back and 'take their word' for things. As I may have mentioned before, I stumbled upon Dr. Brown's theory Oct'08 which my ex-rheumy 'poo pooed' in Nov'08. Now I, too, have my first appointment Feb 17th with an Infectious Disease doc who I understand is very good and will be open to helping me pursue A/P. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!! All the best to you, too.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 You are very welcome, Diane. I have been searching for a understanding open minded doc since 2006. Have been on A/P since 2006. A renown Rheumy from Boston gave me my first prescription for Minocin with a year's worth of refills. When I returned, I got about 5 min. with him and was shoved out the door with another year's worth of scripts. I wanted a doc that was genuinely interested. Not just a script pusher. I was living in NYC at the time and could not find an A/P doc in the city that never sleeps. Imagine, a million docs and none was really interested. For different reasons, we moved several times in '08 and could not find a doc remotely interested. I thought I would never find one when the Rheumy I was referred to told me that he had just returned from some sort of a recertification program and could not treat me with antibiotics, but he knew someone who could. He said he heard some stories stories antibiotics helping rheumatics, but that his hands were tied. His parting words with a big smile on his face were, " I hope you prove us wrong. " That was the most honest Rheumy I had ever met. Went upstairs to the Infectious Disease Doc with my MP papers in hand and I didn't have to speak. He knew the entire program, micoplasmas, antibiotic protocols, etc. He said, I am treating other people like you and " YES " , I will be glad to take care of you, too. With that he wrote orders for the appropriate blood work, checked me over, heart and lungs, legs, hands, etc. and said you look better than my other patients on A/P. Next visit was wonderful. He discussed in detail every lab result and ordered more blood work to check for more critters that may be crawling around in my body. I will see him again next week to discuss the combo of antibiotics and in what order I will take them. I am so thrilled! At last a man who knows his bugs and how to treat me right. I am following the MP, at the moment but ran into a bit of trouble with the Benicar so I discontinued them and I guess that makes me off that protocol. I still take Mino 100mg every other day and Zith every 10th day. I have a feeling, that I will be getting a third one with instructions to up the zith. I'm so happy, I can't wait. This article re: inflammation will be area to discuss with him as my blood work showed that I had quite a bit of inflammation going on. Will keep the group updated. I highly recommend to all, a good Infectious Disease Doc, and stop trying to convert the Rheumies. It is a waste of time. They can't work outside of the box. (The Rheumies words, not mine) I get the feeling that if they start handing out antibiotics and their board finds out about it, they will all be out of a job. The Big Pharm wants them to push the Prednisone, Humira, Remicade, Methotrexate and Chemo. That is what was offered to me in 2005 and I refused. My cousin had Lupus and they filled him with immune suppressants. He died a horrible death. I wasn't going that route. Henry Scammell & Dr. Brown's books convinced me about A/P and I don't regret a moment of it. Take care, Dolores & Mike and thanks again for the article and website. Everyone will profit from that.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi Dolores: I can only hope my ID doc is as wonderful as yours. Last week I mailed him a ton of info on Dr. Brown and A/P in advance of our February appointment just in case he had not heard of Dr. Brown and AP...wanted to give him a chance to touch base with Dr. Sinnott and Dr. Vann (two MD's who studied with Dr. Brown) if necessary so when we meet, I/we can 'hit the grounding running'. Will keep you posted. I agree that any/all Rheumies will blow you off when it comes to pursuing A/P because it does not follow 'standard protocol.. I swear they all get 'kick backs' from Big Pharma based upon the number of times they write Rx's for the very expense biologicals (I believe Remicade is $700 per IV bag -- yikes). Thanks, again.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi Diane, You hit the nail right on the head. Sick people are a burden on society. They would rather put the money into stimulus packages that allow free condoms to be given to the poor. Why! Because the poor outnumber the very rich and it is a drain in their pockets. So, kill the sick and eliminate the poor. That is the view from where I see it. Now and again, you get some concientious people like my Infectious disease doc. I did what you just did numerous times and got remarks like, " Let me be the doctor! " In the old days, Doc's could treat the disease, not just the symptoms. Now, whatever ails you, take something to relieve it and see me next month. Big Pharm and government run the docs now. They are not allowed to treat outside the box of their chosen fiels. The schools have the new docs thinking, well this is the way it has always been done. When research grants are granted, there are strict stipulations as to what doc's can do and what they can't. Their hands are tied. Some docs would like to break from the crowd, but then their livilihood would be in jeopardy. They have families and bills too, so they do not stray. Then there are some like my Rheumy, who said, " I cannot treat you, but I know someone who can. Good luck! I hope you prove us wrong! " That kind of doc is rare! Don't quit until you find one who will work with you as a co-partner to get you well! Let us know how you work out.!~~~~~The best to you, Dolores & Mike From: Diane Springob <springobd (DOT) com> Subject: Re: rheumatic Check out www.medicalnewstoda y.com rheumatic@grou ps.com Date: Monday, January 26, 2009, 5:24 PM You are so very welcome.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi : Yes - the National Institute of Health here in the USA conducted a study using minocycline back in 1995 -- after group of Dr. M. Brown's patients appeared before Congress (I think) begging that the NIH fund a study. To get a copy of that 01/14/1995 Press Release, go to www.nih.gov, and type MIRA in the search window found in the upper right-hand corner. This will bring up several releases -- the one you want I believe is the third one on the search list. Also, Google O'Dell, MD who is a rheumatologist at the University of Nebraska (he worked with Dr. Brown). Try www.nebraska.edu and search for him. If you look at Dr. O'Dell's biopage, it mentions 'how a common acne drug provides significant improvement during the early stages of the disease (meaning RA). " In fact, O'Dell completed a small study in 2006 using Methotrexate with and without Minocycline in treating early RA but the last time I checked, he had not yet published the results. Go to www.clinicaltrials.gov, type Methotrexate in the search window and you'll get a list of all open, closed, complete Clinical Trials involving methotrexate. I recall it was completed in 2006 but patients had to be followed for at least a year (2007) before results -- positive or negative -- would be published. Finally, go to www.tarci.net (The Arthritis Research Center, Inc.) for more info. You can also request information specifically about the antibiotic protocol. This Center is run by a Dr. Millicent Coker-Vann who also studied with Dr. Brown and practices his antibiotic protocol. Dr Vann is located in land here is the States. Hope this information helps. All the best, Diane Springob Cleveland, OH USA ________________________________ From: L <artyfarty68@...> rheumatic Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2009 5:30:55 PM Subject: Re: rheumatic Check out www.medicalnewstoday.com Can anyone tell me if there have been any studies done on the effectiveness of AP.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thanks for the info Diane. I won't be able to check it out for about a week because here in South Australia we are experiencing a record heatwave and so I only get on the computer for a few minutes at a time. When I say record heatwave we are expecting seven days straight of over 40 degree celsius. Yesterday was 45.7 and today is meant to be over 46. love Re: rheumatic Check out www.medicalnewstoda y.com Great site,Diane.Thanks a million.
