Helen,

I have BC/BS and they have never denied any benefits to me. I have had IV

therapy, bi-cillin injections, oral therapies ect... absolutely no problem at

all. I hope this puts your mind at ease.

God Bless,

Hi Helen, I live in NYC and am always looking at my options. Could you plase

e-mail me the mname and number of that Md you mentioned(the infectionsdisease

guy) Thanks Feel better -Val

[Guest guest]

Dear Sandy,

Thanks so much for the good news. I knew an angel would respond! Just

feeling so down lately. I guess being ill and dealing with all the " stuff " that

goes with it finally is really getting to me after all these years. My husband

is

at wits end too. Only can be so supportive for so long. He's been great but very

short and angry at " it " now. I pray daily to get through one more day and try to

count my blessings. Off on a tangent here but once for almost 7-8 months I " IV

pushed " Rocephin into my arm vein with a syringe and a butterfly needle EVERY

day. My husband learned to do it well and a few RN friends. Most MDs won't " let

you " but being an RN and having the drug covered by a drug plan but denied

through major medical left us no choice. Yes, this MD let me have Rocephin but

unfortunately, my babesiosis and ehrlichiosis and herpesviruses were unknown to

anyone then so I just kept " above dying level " with the Rochephin but went to

the

bottom as soon as I stopped. This MD is in NYC and he is OK if all you need is

straight Lyme stuff. He is Infectious disease spec. but did agree to IV. If

anyone wants his name, e-mail me. He isn't into co-infections, at least wasn't

when I left him (on good terms) Love and better days to all of you.

Ok, I have some good news, I finally went to a LLMD, he went over my tests,

asked about all my symptoms, and the tick bite. Guess what??? He said that

in his opinion I have Lyme! Like i didnt already know that! He has put me

on Amoxicillin and Probenecid three times a day.. If I dont have any

improvement in 2 weeks, He is going to start me on Rocephin IV. Can anyone

tell me how they do this IV, is it a hep lock?? Any bad side effects from

it??? Will I be able to work ??

Deb-va

[Guest guest]

Hi Deb,

I am thrilled you found a good Lyme doctor who will treat you

clinically. I was on high doses of amoxicillin and probenecid early in my

Lyme disease, and wow, what a herx that was. Unfortunately the Inf. Disease

doctor took me off this when he got my negative tests back, maybe if I had

stayed on them longer, I would have nipped this disease in the bud then.

This was Oct 96, I did not test positive until Feb. 97, and never by PCR

testing.

I have a surgically implanted chest port, for my IV infusion, as I have

bad veins, and it was less of a hassle. I am sorry I am not familiar with

any other infusion method, hopefully someone on the list will reply. I have

known of people working with their IV, so if you are feeling well enough,

there shouldn't be any problem.

Hope this helps,

Hugs,

Marta

Tick found in scalp, August 1996. I live in South Jersey

and my tick bite was from here. Tested positive for HME

& Lyme disease in Feb 1997. Have had 6 weeks of IV,

on oral meds for over 3 years now. Suffering from Peripheral

Neuropathy, Herniated cervical discs. Still herx monthly.

to answer u question on steere and sigal ....well the bottom line uis that

they both make large amounts of money from insurance cos. for " reviewing pts

records and determining treatment protocols ....it is cheaper for an

insurance co to denie lyme treatment or short term abx by using the " expert

opinions of the two 's holes' then to give the pt what they really

need.......i am attatching a site that shows sigals testimonie and fee

scale.....http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/frankd/Sigal2.htm

Lorraine, I do not have cancer, but I have had trouble through the years

with liver function and have done various " living " or " raw " food diets. I

have done " The Grape Cure " . My experience with all of these techniques

would not cause me to recommend them to anyone. Depending on the

dysfunctions of the individual, these diets can have a drug-like effect, in

my opinion, while continuing to do harm to the liver tissue: feel better,

while getting worse, in other words. A lot depends on how a person is

handling sugars, in addition to whatever else is going on. And often, a

person with a compromised liver cannot handle the unadulterated chemicals of

raw plants or their juices in which the chemicals appear in concentrated

form, unmixed with adequate amounts of saliva.

In order to restore liver function, after much independent research, I have

opted for a diet greatly reduced in sugars and chemicals (even from natural

plants) and seasonings and, currently, am eating plain meats that are cooked

very gently and slowly at a very low temperature and are slightly " rare " . I

have improved immensely since the elimination of all raw fruit and

vegetables from my diet.

If you want to know, liver disease and all, where your father-in-law stands

in terms of his metabolism, and provide him ideal, general, metabolic

support, you can call Nutri-Spec for a referral to a practitioner who can

test the various metabolic functions very non-invasively and affordably.

Once tested (which is done in office and takes approx. 45 min.), there is a

program of specific dietary adjustments and supportive supplementation that

would be tailored to his personal condition for the purpose of bringing back

into range any metabolic abnormalities, and this would support his body in

dealing with the cancer as effectively as it possibly can.

I think it's important not to get carried away with general alternative

therapies that might not offer specific enough attention to your

father-in-law's particular problems.

There is a book that clarifies the " science " behind Nutri-Spec testing and

its specific formulations that is available by calling the same number:

1-800-736-4320 (for book and referrals)

The chiropractor who devised this system and who authors the book is Guy

Schenker, D.C. He appears to support healing diets attuned specifically to

the needs of each person, and generally, recommends reduction of

polyunsaturated oils, fruit and other " sweets " , cooking meat only lightly,

and avoidance of raw vegetables in preference to those that are lightly

cooked to assist with liberation of their nutrients, given the fact that

humans do not possess the right enzymes to free up nutrients from cellulose.

Samples of his letters to his physicians are available, with a convenient

search index at http://royalrife.com under " Nutri-Spec Letters " and

extensive information about the testing itself appears under " Metabolic

Balancing " at the same site.

Best of health,

HI I was recently reading a book called Miracle Cures by Carper and she

mentions of one documented case of liver cancer disappearing without treatment.

The man took milk thistle extract which is very healing for the liver. The

doctors in his case didn't think any treatment would help him so he tried the

milk thistle on his own. Read this for yourself and if you think it is worth a

try share with your father. The ISBN for the book is 0-06-018372-1 . At the

very least from what I have read of milk thistle is that all parts of the plant

can be eaten safely and so it should not hurt while it just might help. This

book also has a chapter on nutrition as a complementary therapy in addition to

any regular treatments a person might use.

Hi

I joined this list a few weeks ago and mentioned that my father in law had

been diagnosed with liver cancer. We now know the exact name of the

cancer - Primary Clear Cell Carcinoma, it's in it's advanced stage and

surgery is out of the question because he will be 70 years old this year.

He has an appointment for the cancer hospital in two weeks time and we are

desperately trying to find alternative therapies/diets to help him recover.

Has anybody heard of the grape cure or any other raw food diet? We brought

him a juicer for Christmas and he says he feels much fitter now. I can find

details of clear cell carcinoma for other organs on the net but not for the

liver. Any pointers?

Many thanks in advance

Dear Lorraine:

Have you heard of the book " The Definitive Guide to Cancer " By Goldberg (?)

and DR. Lee Cowden. They are in the health food stores or amazon, com. My

advice is to read the book and find a reputable Dr. in your area for

guidance. Otherwise, you will chase diets or treatment from well meaning

people who may not be trained to advise you.

I just got back from Mexico with Dr. Rubio and found it a great place healing

all kinds of cancer. He is in the above book. It is expensive so these are

things only you know what is available to you.

God bless you on this journey.

I am not sure what would cause my body to react in the same way that yours is.

I

do know for sure, that probably 50% of the time, it was because I had over done

it in some way and now I was tired. I learned to recognize this, and would make

myself either sit down and relax, or lay down and take a nap. Even a short

breather helped out alot. How long have you been on your beta-blocker? What

dosage? Do you remember to take it when you're supposed to? Sometimes the

cause

of my flare ups was because I had forgotten a dose, or the dose just simply

became too low. It does get better, believe me. I am now on Tapazole, and have

cut my beta blocker back to two doses per day. I take it the same time as the

Tapazole. I also have started on some of 's supplements, and I hope to be

able to quit taking the Tap. and bb altogether.

Helen in PA,

I am a Graves sufferer. I don't understand the physics of the disease. I

just know it is a better fight with a strong mind. Yoga is wonderful and a

great way to relax. Relaxation is the key. Reduce stress is important.

Put yourself as #1. I am a type A and can't say no. That is till Graves--I

say no when I have to.

Be patient, Nothing comes fast as far as a cure. Buy yourself this book

The Thyroid Solution by Dr. Arem Ridha. You will love it and gain alot of

information.

You can reach me at temk@... anytime. I would love to stay in touch

and compare stories.

Take care and be patient,

K.

My son has been having a hard time also with his neck, back and jaw area.

I was worried and after repeatedly bringing him to the ER and having them

tell me that it was just his 'JRA', ended up bringing him to the dentist.

The dentist took x rays of my sons mouth and he had an infection in one of

his teeth. He put him on antibiotics right away and pulled two of his baby

teeth. My son is on prednisone and it masked the tooth ache.

I don't know if that helps you...but it doesn't hurt to have someone look

at you. Good luck.

hi sweetpea, i guess i will tell my doc and see a dentist, but i did tell

them a long time ago. they didn't seem worried, they did an ekg and

everything was normal. the problem is that it doesn't happen a lot, but it

has gotten excrutiatingly worse. it used to only hurt my chest. i just

really hate going to the doc with a complaint and then they can't find what

you're complaining about so you end up leaving feeling you're a

hypochondriac. i will try, but i think it will be the same old thing.

before i had my shoulder done, i had to do a glucose tolerance test to see

if i was hypoglycemic(i wasn't) because i kept getting dizzy, was constantly

hungry, and had to use the bathroom all the time. they didn't find anything

then either and it always makes me feel stupid like i am wasting their time

with ghost problems. still, thanks for caring and being a good friend. say

hi to drese. thanks, brandy

Dear Tracey, We don't have any experience with the heart stuff with n, but I had to wear a halter monitor once and I hated it. It was really uncomfortable. I would feel my heart skip a beat. It was a benign condition, so I hope your daughter is the same. In the meantime you may want to limit caffeine and chocolate. We will keep you in our prayers. (mom to n, age 11 with systemic JRA)

help!

Paxton had to go to the ped. yesterday due to a stomach virus and she had not been able to keep anything, including meds, in her for 2 days. Nothing unusual about that, but on the way she started telling me that her heart felt funny. She was having tachycardia. Has had several episodes of chest pain over the last few monthes. The rheumy and I felt that the chest pain was probably from her reflux and changed her med. Now I am not so sure. We go pick up a halter monitor for her on the 10th. She will wear it for 11 days in hopes to catch one of the tachy episodes on a strip. Then, on the 21st she goes to see a pediactric cardiologist. I am pretty worried about this. Has anyone else had anything similar happen with their children? Our official dx for the moment is " periodic tachycardia with chest pain " . Any help or advice would be appreciated. This jra is something else. Just when you think things are getting better some other complication slaps you in the face. Please keep us in your prayers.

Tracey

HI..I have ALOT of experience with pediatric cardiologists...my daughter

Ashton has open heart when she was 7 (unrelated to her JRA) She has only been

dx with it for a year. Holter monitors can be a great diagnostic tool.. Not

really all that uncomfortable.... although yuor skin can get a little tender

where you place the leads. I hope that all goes well for your daughter ....

mine has the opposite problem since her surgery bradycardia ( slow heart

beat) Sometimes rythym proble,s can be corrected by medication sometimes it's

just something that you live with & watch. I would definitelt limit her

caffine intake as this can cause tachy. Good luck at the cardiologist...You

are all in my prayers ...let us know ..... Kris

any kind of antibiotics are bad! & as long as you are taking the vitamins you

are feeding the yeast! taking birth control pills isn't helping either! If

it were me, i would stop the vitamins & antibiotics, that much i do know.

can't advise on the birth control , i never used them.

my regimen for parasite & yeast control right now are:

Verma-plus liquid (blackwalnut hulls-wormwood--centaury--male fern-orange

peel-cloves-butternut-proprietary blend) 15 drops on empty X 4 daily

Verma Key-- (i'm all out, expecting another shipment later today, i can give

the ingredients then) 3 caps on empty X 3times

6-1 (take 6-8 caps. 3 X daily on empty)

K-min & Fund. Sulfar on empty 3 caps 3 times daily

Proteo Similase (Digestive Enzymes) 2 caps on empty X 3 times

Rotation every 4 days

Mycapry 9 caps X 3-4 times daily on empty

SF 9 caps X 3-4 times daily on empty

also taking a prescription of a creme for scabies (parasites)

my supply is depleted but,, when i did take all of this my sugar cravings

were gone. so my diet was real good for a month & still not to bad. & as

everyone knows i get these from Biamonte's clinic.

My parents go to a naturopath and she told them that

taking vitamins is perfectly safe to do, as long as

it's yeast free.

My naturopath also had me take vitamins and supplements during my candida

treatment and my candidaiasis is gone! I do not think they fed it, but

actually help the immune system to build up and fight againstit. I did buy

the vitamins that are allergen free and yeast free, of course.

Contraceptives do kill good intestinal flora, making it easier for candida

to grow. Try to eliminate this, and find alternative methods. Sandy.

Dear ,

I don't think we can really dispense medical advice.

The first step for the Dr. list would be to read

Dr. 's books to get an understanding of her

protocols. Most people on the Dr. list have done

that. Dr. has done a great deal of research and

has come to certain conclusions from her research.

Please read her books and get an understanding of her

protocol if you want to discuss it.
