Marta,

I picked up this article on Dr. Dean Edell's news letter. I'm curious

whether this medication may chase out the spiros. It sounds logical to me.

NEW YORK (AP)--A special therapy might flush the AIDS virus out of a safe haven

in the body, scientists say, but they stress that it's too soon to tell.

Their work is presented in the June issue of the journal Nature Medicine. The

Associated Press reported the results last November, when they were presented at

a scientific meeting.

Treatment for HIV infection can drive the virus down to undetectable levels in

the blood But HIV can still hide in some inactive blood cells called T cells.

The new work was aimed at activating these cells so HIV would emerge, the cells

would die, and the new HIV would be stymied by standard drugs.

Researchers from the National Institutes of Health reported on 14 patients

getting standard HIV treatment plus the cell-stimulator interleukin-2. No HIV

could be recovered from T cells in three of these patients, or in lymph node

tissue from two of these three.

Researchers cautioned that HIV might still be hiding elsewhere in the body. They

also said it will take a different kind of study, in which patients are randomly

assigned to get interleukin-2 treatment or not, to test the effect of the

treatment.

OK. I'm not understanding here. Does this mean there are ticks still inside

us that are causing this havoc? Isn't this just a disease that may have been

carried by the blood? Are the ticks inside us?

Hi Larry,

That seems logical to me too, do you see a good Lyme literate doctor now?

Maybe you could ask him about this at your next appointment. I love listening

to Dr Edell's program, it plays here in NJ, on Sunday afternoon. I listen

hoping he will talk about Lyme disease, it is prerecorded, so I can't call in.

My aunt just suggested to me that I go to a hospital and have all my blood

removed so I can rid myself of spirochetes, I told her if they hung around in

the blood it would be great, but the little suckers like burrowing into cells.

For that matter too, blood testing would be reliable. Maybe you would share Dr

Edell's newsletter article with the list, I would be interested in hearing

other's perspective of this.

Best to you,

Marta

Hi ,

Not ticks, bacteria called spirochetes, that the tick transmits when they

bite us. The bacteria is cork-screw shaped and able to change itself to

avoid detection and treatment. Yes, they prefer the tissues and not the

blood, unfortunately, that is why they are so hard to rid from the body. I

remember how I felt when I first learned this fact, I felt like the movie

" Alien " . Please be sure to read Dr Burrascano's treatment protocol and share

it with your doctors. I realize you must wean yourself off the prednisone,

ask the doctors to rx some strong pain meds to help you deal with this.

Hugs,

Marta

Marta,

I live in Las Vegas. The Lyme support group flies Dr. ph ph of

Hermitage, PA in once every 6 weeks. I see him the first Saturday in July, I

will ask him then.

I'm on 1000mg of Biaxon and 1000mg of Ceftin /day. Boy am I Herxing.

Combined with the worst asthma season I ever experienced, I am a mess. I'm

trying to find out if there is a link between my asthma and Lyme, after all,

asthma is an autoimune disease.

Thanks for the imput.

Everytime I would have what I now know was a flare-up of the lyme, I would also

start having asthma attacks. I haven't had an asthma attack since last fall,

when

I went on doxycycline. In my case, they definitely seem to be linked.Jean

Maybe these researchers need to develop a skin test like there is for TB.

TB can encapsulate itself inside cells, thereby hiding itself from

detection. The only place it is visible is an X-Ray of the lungs. A skin

test is done to determine infection with the bacteria.

<p>Fungus Implicated as Cause of Chronic Sinusitis

<br>September 9, 1999

<br>Mayo Clinic Proceedings/MedscapeWire

<p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------

<br>----

<p>Mayo Clinic researchers say they have found the cause of most chronic

sinus

<br>infections -- an immune system response to fungus. They say this discovery

<br>opens the door to the first effective treatment for this problem, the

most

<br>common chronic disease in the United States.

<p> " Up to now, the cause of chronic sinusitis has not been known, " say

the Mayo

<br>researchers: Drs. Sherris, Eugene Kern and Jens Ponikau of the

<br>Department of Otorhinolargygology (ENT) at Mayo Clinic. Their report

appears

<br>in the September issue of the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

<p> " Fungus allergy was thought to be involved in less than ten percent

of

<br>cases. Our studies indicate that, in fact, fungus is likely the cause

of

<br>nearly all of these problems. And it is not an allergic reaction, but

an

<br>immune reaction. "

<p>The researchers studied 210 patients with chronic sinusitis. Using new

<br>methods of collecting and testing mucus from the nose, they discovered

<br>fungus in 96 percent of the patients' mucus. They identified a total

of 40

<br>different kinds of fungi in these patients, with an average of 2.7

kinds per

<br>patient.

<p>In a subset of 101 patients who had surgery to remove nasal polyps,

the

<br>researchers found eosinophils (a type of white blood cell activated

by the

<br>body's immune system) in the nasal tissue and mucus of 96 percent of

the

<br>patients.

<p>The results, the researchers say, clearly portray a disease process

in

<br>which, in sensitive individuals, the body's immune system sends eosinophils

<br>to attack fungi and the eosinophils irritate the membranes in the nose.

As

<br>long as fungi remain, so will the irritation.

<p> " This a potential breakthrough that offers great hope for the millions

of

<br>people who suffer from this problem, " they say. " We can now begin to

treat

<br>the cause of the problem instead of the symptoms. "

<p>More research is underway at Mayo Clinic to confirm that the immune

response

<br>to the fungus is the cause of the sinus inflammation. The researchers

are

<br>also working with pharmaceutical companies to set up trials to test

<br>medications to control the fungus. They estimate that it will be at

least

<br>two years before any treatments will be available.

Dear Hollie and All:

I'll be gladto keep cutting and pasting whatever I get. I just do

not want to overwhelm the list. Also, as many, many know, this Dragon

has many theories, and many will remain just that, theory. If you try to

read everything that is published, you will probably either go blind, or

become depressed.

As a word of advice and caution, many of the percentages and

numbers that are published, are not alyas accurate for all Heprs. But,

if you do look at many of the articles, you will find a whole bunch of

contradicting material and anyone can formulate data to make it appear

in one way or another. That is not to say that they are correct, or may

be proven correct or incorrect, but, until several studies, and their

results, have been duplicated, don't allow these to get to you. We are

all in a vulnerable position and want to believe and hear certain

things, which is why there are so many articles published=it meets the

needs of people who want to see something, as well as generates more

research money and, in some cases, publicity for the writer.

We are all individuals, and, while our chemical makeup is supposed

to be the same, we react differently to chemicals added to our bodies,

as well as how we react. I guess what I am trying to get at, is that I

will keep posting, but, do not become obsessed, depressed, or rely on

one study. If " laughter is the best medicine " , then anything that bums

someone out can only work against you. Knowledge is good, and is

especially needed for the Dragon. So, no one should stop reading, just

don't let these studies make you into a vegetable.

My 2 cents for today. Marty

There was a 70% increase in the number of reported casesof the tick-borne illness between 1992 and 1998, from about 10,000 cases peryear to almost 17,000. Ninety-two percent of the cases occurred in only tenstates -- New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Wisconsin, RhodeIsland, land, Massachusetts, Minnesota and Delaware.The jump in cases may be due to an increased number of ticks, although it'spossible that a greater public awareness of the illness is leading to morediagnosis and reporting of cases.Youngsters aged 5- to 9-years-old and adults aged 45- to 54-years-old aremost likely to be diagnosed with the disease, which is caused by bacteriatransmitted via a tick bite. Lyme disease is characterized by rash, fever,fatigue and joint pain. Antibiotics can eradicate the bacteria and preventlong-term problems if started early enough.Boys between the ages of 5 and 19 and men over 60 years have a higher rateof infection than females. However, it is not clear if this is because malesare more likely to come into contact with infected ticks, less likely to usemeasures to avoid tick bites, or are more likely to be diagnosed with thedisease, according to the report published in the April 27th issue of theCDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.Most cases occur in June, July and August, when ticks in the immature nymphstate tend to feed, and outdoor activities are most common among childrenand adults.In the nymph stage, the tick is about the size of a poppy seed, and mayeasily stay attached to the body long enough to transmit the bacteria.To avoid contracting Lyme disease, CDC officials suggest wearing tickrepellents and light colored clothing to make the ticks more visible, oravoiding tick-infested areas altogether. However, because these protectivemeasures "can be inconvenient," researchers are currently working to developnew ways to reduce the risk of Lyme disease. Vaccination should beconsidered for "persons aged 15-70 years who live in areas of moderate tohigh risk for Lyme disease and have frequent or prolonged contact with tickhabitat," according to the report.
