Hi Esther, Thanks for sharing the problem re: yeast. I don't have a problem

with a white tongue or with yeast for that matter. My problem is motility and a

hiatal hernia. My food gets stuck in my lower esophagus and stomach. Maybe in

the lower intestines also as I seem to bloat up and then my stomach is distended

for hours. I also must be swallowing a lot of air as I feel much better once I

can start burping (belching) up the gas. Have no problem with the lower

intestines. They empty out fine and my elimination is great. It's that stuck in

the middle feeling that makes me sooooo very uncomfortable.I always feel like I

have swallowed a basketball that won't go down. Got any ideas on that? Dolores

A few days ago I believe you posted something about the gut. I did

AP for a year with all kinds of probiotics. The worst symptom for me

was oral yeast/coated tongue--indicative of an imbalance in the

gut/elsewhere. I took several doses of diflucan and that didn't

help either. I've been treated most recently with various natural

products including neesby mycopryl 680, thorne undecyn, and thorne

formula SF 722 along with oregano oil and oregon grape. I wonder if

yeast can also lodge in the joints. ew

Hi--one dr. I saw says sacromyces bolardis (jarrow) supports the

small intestine specifically. Do you have adhesions in that area of

the stomach/upper bowel? Do you use digestive enzynmes (broad

spectrum)? Have you tried activated charcoal? Is it related to some

foods or all foods?

Dolores,

Have you had an endoscopy? Also, any swallowing evaluations? Are you

on any stomach meds? I have bad reflux for which I take Zegerid,

Zantac, and am back on Motilium for the reflux and delayed gastric

emptying. Motilium has really worked for me: in the past and again now :)

hi esther

check out bee's candida diet on the web. she has a list group and

an extensive website. on her diet my pain and inflamm is defin down. it

is the best anti yeast diet i know of.

btw yeast is definitely involved in RA and other rheaum disease. getting

rid of yeast definitely decreases symptoms.

hope this helps

Hi , I just answered your other e-mail about the trimming. If you read

my answer to Esther, you would know that I don't have problems with yeast at

all. I have a problem with motility and a hiatal hernia. But I appreciate the

info on yeast and will save it in case I ever do get a yeast infection. Thank

you, Dolores

Hi Esther, My colonoscopy and two endoscopies only showed some inflammation and

a hiatal hernia. I was tested and there is no bacteria causing the

inflammation. The only food I actually avoid is milk as I am lactose

intolerant. Lately, I've gotten the runs after three diferent chinese dinners

at different restaurants. But never before. I don't use any enzymes or

charcoal. I once devloped an ulcer from too much motrin (not from

heliopyloribacteria) which was cured by taking Prevacid. Tha was 7-8 yrs ago

before I was diagnosed with S/D & R/A. My main problem, I think is that I can't

get the food down fast enough. Between the hernia and the slow motility, I have

that feeling of having swallowed a whole melon that is stuck. After a few

hours, I get natural relief when it all goes down. But it takes so long and I

have to remain upright during the process, because if I lay down, the

regurgitation begins and sometimes I lose the dinner and all the meds with it.

When I

was very ill, and bedridden, I lost 40 lbs and became anemic. I took iron and

cured the anemia. They force fed me bits and pieces and I eventually gained

back about 15 lbs. I am at my perfect weight now and in two years, I have not

gained or lost another lb. So, I'm maintaining my weight. I don't over eat or

under eat. I just get the food stuck in the middle and spend a part of my day

in misery. I feel best in the a.m. on an empty stomach. As soon as I eat

something. Even just a glass of something, I get that full feeling again. Do

you think enzymes would work. My docs haven't mentioned anything about enzymes.

Any leads would be appreciated. Dolores

Dolores;

You really need digestive enzymes.One that contains SERRATIOPEPTASE

,it causes proteolysis of all non vital tissues including blood

clots,cysts,tissue plaques and cellular debris which causes an

inflamatory response.TRYPSIN to degrade protein.LIPASE to break down

carbs.PAPAIN and BROMELAIN for digestion.RUTIN,a potent anti inflamatory

and oxidant.SUPEROXIDE DISMUTASE to process superoxide,anoxygen radical

that is overproduced during inflamation.CATALASE that neutralises the

hydrogen peroxide made by our systems and converts it to water and

oxygen.L_CYSTEINE which is a super antioxidant for the liquid area that

surronds the body cells.It also maintains a balance of reduced

glutathion.ZINC .

After eating don't sit down,go for a good walk or work out.Immobility

after a meal is just terrible

Hi Dolores,

OK< I had something like those symptoms when the food started moving

down. I've always found naturalpathic doctors (really good ones) to

have some good suggestions/therapies/approaches. Most recently,

with the same symptom, the dr. told me not to go so long from dinner

to breakfast which I had around 11 AM , as apparently the body does

a real number on the food when it arrives after such a long interval.

She suggested eating a small amount earlier in the day. I think

there is often some bio-chemical mechanism, but most standard doctors

tend to run out of ideas. Have you tried medibulk by Thorne. You

can take it several times a day and that might help things move

along. ew

Hi Patrice;

You can get that all in one capsule.The intersting thing about these

enzymes is that they work as an inflamatory if taken away from meals.If

taken an hour before or after they work as digestive enzymes.Any

reputable vitamin company makes them here in Canada so I expect it must

be the same in the U.S.

Most people over 40 start to lose the HCL in the stomack and it

decreases as time goes by.When I was a kid I kept seeing my grandparents

taking antacids all the time .Now I know that their problems were not

too much acid,but too little which made digestion difficult and gave the

same symptoms as of having to much .Wobenzym is a very good brand from

Germany but expensive so just print my last message or if you are in the

vitamin shop compare W to a home made brand. Lynne

Enzymes! Great. I've got the same question. Do they all come in one capsule?

Or do I have to buy all different bottles? What's the name of what I have to

ask for? Love, Dodo

I get my Wobenzym (800 tablet size) for around $90.00 at swansonvitamins.com

or vitacost.com. My doctor recommends taking five in the a.m. and p.m. on

an empty stomach for inflammation, and three with each meal as a digestive

aid. I find they work wonderfully. El

Thank you Esther. I will try it. I'm getting so many wonderful suggestions.

What a great site. This is the way it should always be. Dolores

Esther Warkov <esther_warkov@...> wrote: Hi Dolores,

OK< I had something like those symptoms when the food started moving

down. I've always found naturalpathic doctors (really good ones) to

have some good suggestions/therapies/approaches. Most recently,

with the same symptom, the dr. told me not to go so long from dinner

to breakfast which I had around 11 AM , as apparently the body does

a real number on the food when it arrives after such a long interval.

She suggested eating a small amount earlier in the day. I think

there is often some bio-chemical mechanism, but most standard doctors

tend to run out of ideas. Have you tried medibulk by Thorne. You

can take it several times a day and that might help things move

along. ew

Hi Leoni, Other's have said they read it in a book, but can't remember which

one, so it might be true. Dr. Trentham is supposed to be a super A/P doc, so I

did just as he said.

Been in remission since May 2007 on Minocin alone. Hope your recovery is an

easy and

less complicated one. Have a Happy, Healthy, Healing New Year!~~~~~Dolores

oh that's ok Dolores :) NSAIDS are notorious for ruining the stomach

Re: rheumatic about Celebrex and AP

Leoni, Have you read the books by Scammell. They explain the entire process.

You don't need any extra antiinflammatory. Minocin is an antiinflammatory in

itself as well as an antibiotic. Anything you add extra to that could

diminish the ability for Minocin to do it's work. Dolores

I currently take Celebrex and was wondering how long you have to keep taking

the NSAIDS whilst on AP ? My aim is to give up Celebrex all together as I

worry about it's side effects. Does anyone have any experiences to share

with me ?

Thanks...

Hi Leoni, I don't mind spreading information on S/D. There are different types

of S/D. Google S/D and you will find all the various kinds and how they affect

the person. Some is called limited, linear, diffuse, systemic, speckled, CREST,

and it can affect only internal organs or only external organs (like the skin

which is the largest organ of the body). Sometimes it affects the kidneys,

bladder, heart, lungs, liver. It can also affect the fingers and facial

features. Basically it was called the " Stone Disease " because in past times,

people's cell hardened until they turned to stone and whichever vital organ

failed first would be the cause of death. The disease causes collagen build up

anywhere on the body and in multiple places and hardening of the cells being

internal, external or both. It is terminal disease and I was told I was

terminal w/o much time left as my lungs were in trouble. My was called

scleroderma sine sclerosis. Or that may be the other way around.

I don't have that information in front of me. Then I quickly developed,

Raynauds which affects the blood vessels of the hands basically and can affect

the feet. The blood vessels in other areas are also affected. My first symptom

was increasingly progressive muscle and joint pain. had no idea that the lungs

were failing first. I went to many doctors who could find nothing and referred

me to the mental health clinic to see what was causing my hyprochondriac

condition. It wasn't until I couldn't handle another day that I begged to be

taken to the hospital. There they found the pulmonary fibrosis. It was still

almost a year later, till I was finally diagnosed. I spent that year bedridden.

Went on Minocin and 18 months later, I was in remmission and there is no

stopping me now. We work, we play and live a full life in spite of our combined

illnesses, we lead a fulfilling, happy life. That's the hope I wish to pass on

to others.~~~~~Take care, stay in touch. Henry

Scammell's Book, Scleroderma, " The Proven Therapy That Can Save Your Life! " can

explain completely what Scleroderma is. I wish there were this type of book for

all Th 1 diseases. Maybe I can educate myself so I can write those books. Stay

in touch! And good luck with your recovery. Besides Scleroderma, I have R/A

and MCTD. Most of us have overlapping diseases which makes coping a bit more

difficult. ~~~~~~Dolores & Mike

leonie cent <leoniecent@...> wrote: hi Dolores... I'm sorry if

I get confused between you and Mike and the separate problems you both have...

also I'm sorry to hear that Scleroderma has affected you so badly . Even having

RA myself, I am ignorant of how Scleroderma affects people who suffer it. I have

looked it up on the internet, but I still can't get a grip of what it actually

does to you on a daily basis. Did you have a lot of pain with it, and where is

the pain located ? How else does it make you feel ? I suppose I should wait for

the book to come out and then I'll really find out about it.

Re: rheumatic Gwen's story

Wow! Thank you for forwarding Gwen's letter. This makes it all worthwhile.

Tell Gwen to continue to stay in touch as we would love to keep hearing about

her progress. I don't know if you know, but I am in the midst of writing a book

of stories

written by the patients to everybody. Most books are written by professionals,

but none are written by us who are afflicted, fighting and coping. Some of us

are able to rise above the pain, disappointments and struggle to help others. My

beef is that whenever Mike and I wear our Scleroderma hats or backpacks, people

ask us, " What is Scleroderma? "

We are desperately working to put an end to that question and bring about

awareness, so

that no one will ever ask again, what is?----------to any of our Th 1 diseases.

I also got sick in 2004, but it was the end of 2005 before I was diagnosed. I

learned about the " Infectious Theory " and the Antibiotic Protocol from people

who post on this site and from the RBF. By January 2006, I was on Minocin. I,

too was bedridden for 8 months and went into remission in May 2007. Started

doing research and still learning. I am a writer. Not well known, but have been

awarded for my poetry. Decided on the book and may keep on writing till the

whole world knows what we are up against. If Gwen would like, I would like to

put her story into my book, just the way she wrote it. The proceeds from the

book after expenses will be delegated to research. I want someone to find a

cure. That is my prayer for 2008

These stories are uplifting and educational and hopefully life saving. Thank

you, Dolores & Mike

___________________________________________

GWEN, Polymyalgia Rheumatica/Giant Cell Arteritis

My life has been one of constant pain throughout my body as I have a

history of multiple chronic illnesses - Raynaud's, Osteoarthritis plus

a mild case of rheumatoid arthritis, but in late 2004 my life took a

turn for the worse. I was so ill, and in so much pain throughout my

body I could not even get out of bed. I had seen many doctors and had

numerous tests. Blood test results revealed CRP and ESR high and FBC

low.

In January 2005, I developed a huge lump on my temple so went back to

the doctor again to see what this could be. He thought I had hit my

head in my sleep, but in the next few days the lump grew bigger so I

went back to the doctor again. Alarm bells were starting to ring for

him and he sent me for more tests. The doctor rang me the next day and

told me to pack a bag and go directly to the eye hospital, as he had

finally found out what was wrong with me. I had Polymyalgia Rheumatica,

plus the secondary complication of Giant Cell Arteritis because they

did not diagnose the PR early enough.

They operated on my head the next day and confirmed I had GCA -

proceeding then to fill me full of drugs. My doctor could not stop

telling me how sorry he was - he thought I was too young to have PR (58

years) - only people in their 70s get this disease. I had to retire

from work after 18 years - too ill to continue.

I was sent to the Rheumy, put on toxic drugs including 65 mg. of

prednisone, weekly injections of methotrexate, plus Mobic. I was so ill

at one stage I didn't care if I lived or died. There was improvement

from the drugs in the beginning, but the side effects were horrendous.

I got high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and worst of all - steroid

induced diabetes. My life was a mess.

In 2006, I decided to search the internet to see if anyone could help

me as I was under 5 different doctors and getting nowhere. I knew I had

to do something or I was going to end my life in misery. I came across

this wonderful support group (www.rheumatic.org) that saved my life.

Just being able to send emails back and forth, knowing you are not

alone in this fight, was a big help to me.

Now the fun started trying to convince the rheumy to give me the

antibiotic protocol. I took all my print outs about members' success

stories, but she would not even read them. She said there was no proof

this worked in her journals - head in the sand attitude. So back I went

to the GP and put my case to her. She said if I could get another

doctor to support me she would give me Minocin.

So I went to my orthopaedic surgeon who looks after my knees and hips.

Well, he was very supportive when he read the notes saying it made

sense to him as often when he is operating on patients he has made the

comment to other doctors that the inflammation he was seeing in the

joints looked more like infection, so he agreed to write my GP a letter

of support for the AP.

Back to the GP I went and she gave me a script for Minocin - asking me

to sign a disclaimer which I was willing to do - getting me started on

the road back from hell. My dose to start was 200 mg. per day for about

four months. When the pain started to improve, I gave up the steroids*

and methotrexate, and went to 100 mg per day for another three months

until I reached remission. Now I take 100 mg. three times a week to

keep me in remission.

I am living proof this treatment works. Even my Raynaud's is in

remission. All of my doctors (except the rheumy which I gave the sack

to) cannot believe the change in me, and now believe the treatment

works and are giving it to their other patients.

I owe a lot of thanks to the group - especially Harold, Mike, Ethel,

Delores and other members who told their stories to help people like

me. If you would like to know more about my treatment please feel free

to email me.

Regards, Gwen

*Patients on steroids should not stop them abruptly, but wean off of

them slowly under the guidance of their physician.

You are welcome! Hope you get to see NYC someday. It is very different than

the rest of America. Typically, more European only with a variety of mixes and

cultures from the East and West. A little universe! Very diverse and

interesting. Lots of flavors, colors and languages spoken here. I've always

been intrigued by Australia. It is this huge Island Nation in the Pacific on

the other side of the world for me and I've always loved the stories about how

England sent her prisoners there and they met the Aborigines. I see all movies

made in Australia. I hear that for it's size, it is sparsely populated.

Manhattan is also an Island (small) and overpopulated. It's difficult even to

cross the street, especially in summer when all the tourists come. Yet, we

share a common disease. Go Figure! Take care of yourself and congrats on

getting on A/P. I've been on since Jan. 2006. It has saved my life. Dolores

Wow! I can't imagine what it's like to never have left your hometown or been in

other parts of Australia. Mike and I have traveled a lot, yet not as much as

some of my friends. Australians are known for buying one of those round the

world in one direction tickets. I met many Australians that way and even hosted

some. Been through most of the US, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, the

Virgin Islands, several times to Europe, both East and West, and Iceland. Lived

in Hawaii for a while. There is so much more of the world I would like to see.

Maybe, I will get the chance once I am finished with MP. You ought to get out

more. It doesn't sound like your country has much in the way of transportation

from one side of the Island to the other. I guess you have to have a

four-wheel-drive to get around. At least that is how the movies portrays it.

But you have what I love and that is that you are surrounded by beaches. I love

the beaches. Right now, you are in summer

and I am in winter freezing my arse off. Are your winters cold, snowy and wet?

Australia reminds me of the Arizona Desert. Been thinking of moving there.

It's dry, dusty, brown with lots of cowboys and country music. Take

care~~~~Happy, healthy healing, Dolores & Mike

Yes, it's a shame. I will go travelling one day for sure. Right now, i don't

have the energy to hardly get past my front door.

We actually do have good transportation from one side of Australia to the other.

It's called jet planes :). I can get to Western Australia in a few hours from

where I live on the East Coast.... or anywhere for that matter. Yes, there's a

big whopping dessert in the middle. However, it's not as primitive here as some

Americans think it is. We have just about everything you guys have in terms of

technology.

You obviously love travelling which is great, and you are lucky to be able to

Hi, I did most of my traveling before I got sick. And yes, in those days, I was

working as a nurse. Been one for 40+years. When I got my paychecks, some would

always go to my traveling expenses. That was very important to me. I would have

loved to have traveled around the whole world. Even tho', I saw much, there was

still much I never got to see. I still plan on getting to some of those places

yet. I have not given up. Working on it. That is why we bought the R/V. This

way I can travel and still sleep in my own bed at night and fix my own meals.

What a great way to go? When I said, that it seems like there's not much in the

way of transportation from one side of the Island to the other, I was talking

about ground transport. You don't see anything when you fly. Is your Island

Nation crisscrossed by super highways, so that you can get from point A to point

B in comfort. Are there gas stations on those highways, restaurants and hotels?

All I ever see in the

movies are desert, snakes, crocs, kangaroos and Koala Bears. I'm sure the

cities have everything, But what about the place you call the " Outback " What is

that like? Do the aborigines still live in the jungles? This is what the

movies show. If you or a friend have a digital camera, I would love to see

photos of your country. The whole world knows what NYC looks like. We are a

city of skyscrapers and way too much traffic in the street 24/7. Lots of

tourists and everybody shops and eats. Most of the European cities are very

much like NYC. Paris, Rome, London, Berlin, Vienna, Copenhagen, Prague,

Barcellona, Montreal, Mexico City and Los Angeles are all crowded cities. I've

been to all of them. Now I'm looking for some slow back country roads. Take

care. Now you've got a little peice of my dreams. Take care,~~~Dolores & Mike

....a bit of a jolt never hurt anyone Dolores, and we often need one

to shift out of our stupor. if the jolt of someone telling you that

you were living under a rock helped you, that's great. maybe that's

the way you've got to tell people things go get them to listen...

almost by insulting them ! no one listens to anything i tell them, so

maybe i'm doing it the wrong way haha :) people don't listen or

change easily. being nice and gentle doesn't always work - i

understand the culture of tough love, although i haven't experienced

a lot of it. it's a good way to be when everyone knows what the deal

is with it.

i know all you guys are 100% AP focussed and that's ok with me - i

don't ask questions about it to make trouble - i want it to be

the " be-all and end-all " believe me. i'm just a seeker of the truth.

i grew up jehovah's witness, and we thought we were the " only true

religion " and had the " truth " . we were the only ones going to survive

armageddon. that was my 100% reality and belief from the moment i was

born. after a lot of soul-searching i left the religion and accepted

that i would die at armageddon too with all the evil people. well i

found out somwewhere along the line that it wasn't the truth but just

a bunch of fooey ! now i keep my mind open (try to) and don't get

fanatical about anything, and question everything. i don't care if

it's right or wrong or works for some other person. WHAT WORKS FOR

ONE, DOESN'T WORK FOR ANOTHER... if there's any truth, that is it! i

love and respect passionate people who believe in something strongly

and walk their talk, but when their beliefs become dogmatic, that

worries me. zealots worry me. passionate people are leaders and the

people who are attracted to their message will follow them no matter

what. their are millions of different leaders and paths, all leading

to the same place.

that's just my take on things, but i might be wrong ;)

take care dolores,

have kept me going many a day. Your detailed posts, and your success with

remission have been so inspiring to me that I know I've told you this, but I cry

most of the time when I read them, but they are good tears, as they give me

the hope to follow in your footsteps, and attain remission myself, which I

am still hoping to do in the not too distant future.

We are all here for you, as you have been for us along this journey that we

take every day. My thoughts are with you, and I, too, KNOW you are going

to be back in the saddle again soon.

Good thoughts, and prayers heading your way!!!

Gail

You all lift me up.  New diet regimen is working.  Had boiled chicken over

brown rice with some peas & carrots and SF jello for dessert.  Nothing fried. 

I think fried foods is my problem.  Take care, Dolores
