Guest guest Posted October 6, 1998 Report Share Posted October 6, 1998 List of Medical Journal Articles This is a collection of medical journal articles dealing with the dangers and ineffectiveness of vaccines. We will be adding more so check back to see what has been added. If you cannot find them or can not get to a medical library please contact us to get copies. MMR VACCINE: Pancreatis Caused by Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccine Pancreas vol. 6 no 4 1991 [2] Mumps Meningitis Following Measles, Mumps ,and Rubella Immunization Lancet July 1989 [1pg] Optic Neuritis Complicating Measles, Mumps, and Rubella Vaccination American Journal of Opthalmology 1978 :86 [4pgs.] A Prefecture-wide Survey of Mumps Meningitis Associated with Measles, Mumps and Rubella Vaccine (Infec Dis J 1991 Vol 10 pg 204-209) Risk of Aseptic Meningitis after Measles Mumps and Rubella Vaccine In UK Children (Lancet April 93 Pgs. 979) Mumps Meningitis and Measles , mumps and rubella vaccine (this is dealing with the Urabe strain mumps) A Prefecture -Wide Survey of Mumps Meningitis Associated With Measles, Mumps and Rubella Vaccine Pediatri Infect Dis J 1991 ;10 [6pgs] Guillain-Barre syndrome after measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine Lancet jan 1 1994 Vol 343 [1pg] Bilateral Hearing Loss After Measles and Rubella Vaccination In An Adult ( NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE July 11, 1991 pg 134) [1pg] Reports of Sensorineural deafness after measles, mumps, and rubella immunization Arch of Disease in Childhood 1993:69 [2pgs.] There have been 9 reports of sensorineural hearing loss after MMR immunization. In three cases the deafness was unrelated .In six cases the cause was unknown but MMR remained a possible aetiology. Case 1: This girl developed a rubella form rash 25 days after immunization.3 days later she developed vomiting and malaise .On revue, a week later, she exhibited poor balance .nine weeks later she was found to respond poorly to sound .She had stopped speaking for the proceeding two weeks. Case 2: This boys father suffered flu like illness at the same time that the boy was unwell after immunization ,His mother noticed his poor hearing but attributed it to inattention and did not seek medical advice .He also has amblyopia and learning difficulties. Case number 9: (PERSONAL THOUGHT I find this one of interest since the child was vaccinated and still caught the illness i.e. vaccines do not work.)This boy became deaf four months after immunization. Mumps antibody titers measured at this time and one month later showed a significant rise. Two of the cases not related .One child was deaf before vaccination and the other never received vaccinations the rest listed could be possibly related to MMR vaccine. RUBELLA VACCINE: Is RA27/3 Rubella immunization a cause of chronic fatigue (MEDICAL HYPOTHESES 1988 27 pgs. 217-220) [4pgs] Abstract- Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome(primary fibrositis syndrome, major affective disorder ,etc.)have elevated IgG serum antibodies to multiple common viruses. Only IgGrubella antibodies are positively correlated with the intensity of symptoms and have a height that is clearly significant compared to healthy controls. The lymphotrophic properties of the rubella virus could account for the multiple elevated antibodies. Adult women are over-represented in the population of patients with chronic fatigue, and are especially susceptible to developing such symptoms following exposure to attenuated rubella new more potent strain of live rubella vaccine strain RA27/3 (my.02 this vaccine is the one using the aborted fetal tissue cells)was introduced in 1979.Within three years reports of patients with chronic fatigue began surfacing in the literature. Considering all this, the possible role of rubella immunizations in the etiology of chronic fatigue syndromes deserves further study. Rubella Vaccination of Hospital Employees (this talks about low immunization rate in doctors) JAMA Feb.20,1981 Vol 245 No 7 [2pgs] Two Syndromes Following Rubella Immunization (Suggests a polyneuropathy in both syndromes) (JAMA 1970 Vol 214 no 13) [5pgs.] Chronic Arthritis After Rubella Vaccination Clinical Infec Dis. 1992 15;307-12 [6pgs] Acute Arthritis Complicating Rubella Vaccination (ARTHRITIS AND RHEUMATISM 1971 41) [4pgs] Joint Symptoms Following an Area Wide Rubella Immunization Campaign Report of a Survey Am J of Public Health Vol 62 no 5 [4pgs] Polyneuropathy Following Rubella Immunization Am J Dis Child 1974 Vol 127 [5pgs] Postpartum Rubella Immunization: Association with Development of Prolonged Arthritis, Neurological Sequelae, and Chronic Rubella Viremia (THE JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES 1985 vol 152 no 3) [7pgs] Gamma Globulin Prophylaxis; Inactivated Rubella Virus; Production and Biologics Control of Live Attenuated Rubella Virus Vaccines (this is contains info on the use of human aborted fetal tissue cells in rubella vaccine) Amer J Dis Child 1969 vol 118 [10 pgs] I am just going to point out a few things in this article. The first part deals with gamma globulin. The part of interest is the end where there is a discussion between doctors and researchers one being the famous Dr. Sabin. They begin discussing the possible dangers of the aborted fetal tissue cells (they also discuss animal use and its dangers)possible genetic material passed over into the vaccine. Also human leukemia viruses. They start discussing the aborted fetus used in the WI-38 cell(this is the fetus tissue cells they use to grown the disease on it is lung cells[diploid])I am going to type part of this discussion. Dr. K McCarthy: It seems to me that there are two things that we worry about in regards to WI-38 cell substrate. First of all, presence of extraneous viral agents; secondly, the possibility of there being human genetic material passed over into the vaccine. I wonder if there is any information about the reasons for aborting that particular embryo that gave rise to WI-38; and if it was from a family, whether we have any information about siblings from the family and whether they are normal? Dr.S Plotkin, Philidelphia: I should like to answer Dr. McCarthy's question. This fetus was chosen by Dr. Sven Gard, specifically for this purpose. Both parents are known, and unfortunately for the story, they are married to each other, still alive and well, and living in Stockholm, presumably. The abortion was done because they felt they had too many children. There were no familial diseases in the history of either parent, and no history of cancer specifically in the families; I believe this answers Dr. McCarthy's question. Dr Sabin goes on to say that this issue (objections to thier use) is based on emotion rather than reason. He then goes on talk about how in theory something may show up later that we do not have the technology now to discover(my .02 we all know they did not discover SV40 right away) Also he talks about a number of researchers and the national Cancer Institute are developing a program to determine whether the leukemia sarcoma complex that has been now been so well characterized in avian species and in mice may also have its counter part in human beings. (the discussion goes into further detail) Production and Testing of Rubella Virus Vaccine (more on the use of aborted fetal tissue cells) Amer J Dis Child 1969 Vol 118 pg. 367 [5 pgs] The in vitro growth of rubella virus in human embryo cells (more on aborted fetal tissue) Am J of Epidemiology Vol 81 no 1 [7pgs] Studies of Immunization With Living Rubella Virus (more on aborted fetal tissue) Amer J Dis Child vol 110 Oct 1965 [7pgs] This fetus was from a 25 year old mother exposed to rubella 8 days after last menstrual period. 16 days later she developed rubella. The fetus was surgically aborted 17 days after maternal illness and dissected immediately. Explants from several organs were cultured and successful cell growth was achieved from lung, skin, and kidney. It was then grown on WI-38. This new vaccine was tested on orphans in Philadelphia. Attenuation of RA 27/3 Rubella virus in WI-38 Human Diploid Cells (more on use of aborted fetal tissue) Amer J Dis Child Vol 118 1969 [7 pgs] Explant cultures were made of the dissected organs of a particular fetus aborted because of rubella, the 27th in our series of fetuses aborted during the 1964 epidemic. The third explant, which happened to be from kidney, was selected arbitrarily for further study. Serological Evidence of Reinfection among Vaccinees During Rubella Outbreak Lancet Vol 336 pg. 1071 [1pg] MEASLES VACCINE: Thrombocytopenic Purpura Following Vaccination With Attenuated Measles Virus Amer J Dis Child Jan 1968 Vol 115 [3pgs] Facial Palsy Following Measles Vaccination a Possible Connection [1pg] Investigation of a measles outbreak in a fully vaccinated school population including serum studies before and after revaccination (Pediatr Infec Dis J 1993 12) [8pgs.] Risk of Aseptic Meningitis after Measles, Mumps , and Rubella Vaccine in UK Children Lancet 1993 Vol 341 [4pgs] Failure of Measles Vaccine Sprayed into the Oropharynx of Infants (this is on an inhaled vaccine not a shot vaccine it is using the E-Z strain) Lancet May 1983 [1pg] High Titre Measles Vaccine Dropped (this is on the Experimental E-Z Measles vaccine) Lancet 1992 Vol 340 [1pg] Failure to Reach the Goal of Measles Elimination Arch Intern Med 1994 vol 154 [6pgs] A Measles Outbreak at a College with Prematriculation Immunization Requirements Am J Of Pub Health Vol 81 no 3 [4pgs] An Explosive point-source measles outbreak in a highly vaccinated population (American Journal of Epidemiology 1989 Vol 129 no 1) [10] Atypical measles in children previously immunized with attenuated measles virus vaccines (PEDIATRICS VOL 50 NO 5) [6pgs] Neurological disorders Following Live Measles-Virus Vaccination (JAMA March 1973, Vol 223 No 13) [4pgs] Abstract: From 1963 through 1971, eighty four cases of neurologic disorders with onset less than 30 days after live measles-virus vaccination were reported in the United states. Thirteen could be adequately accounted for by cases other than vaccine, and another 11 were uncomplicated febrile convulsions probably related to vaccination. One case met diagnostic criteria for subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. The remaining 59 showed clinical features of encephalitis or encephalopathy. Causes of these cases could not be established, but 45 (76%) had onset between 6 and 15 days after vaccination; this clustering suggests that some may have been caused by vaccine. From 1963 through 1971, 50.9 million doses of measles vaccine were distributed, and, therefore, incidence of the reported neurologic disorders was 1.16 per million doses. Risk of encephalitis following measles infection is one per thousand cases. (my note - the vast majority of vaccine complications go unreported making the figure inaccurate and the figure for encephalitis complications following measles infection is grossly overstated.) A Persistent Outbreak of Measles Despite Appropriate Prevention And Control Measures ( American Journal of Epidemiology Vol 126 No3) [13pgs.] Exaggerated Natural Measles Following attenuated Virus Immuization (PEDIATRICS 1976 VOL 57 NO 1) [3pgs.] Child Mortality After High-Titre Measles Vaccines (this is on E-Z measles) Lancet Vol 338 1991 [4pgs] Thrombocytopenia After Immunization with Measles Vaccines, Review of the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (1990 to 1994) The Ped Infect Dis J vol. 15 no 1 Jan 1996 [3] Measles Vaccine and Crohn’s Disease Gastroenterology vol. 108 no 3 1995 [3pgs] Severe Hypersensitivity or Intolerance Reactions To Measles Vaccine In Six Children (ALLERGY 1980 35) [7] Pathogenesis of Encephalitis Occurring with Vaccination , Variola and Measles Arch of Neurology and Psychiatry 1938 Vol 39 [8pgs] Aseptic Meningitis after Vaccination Against Measles and Mumps (Pediatr Infec Dis J 1989 8 pg 302-308) [7pgs] Measles Vaccine Associated Encephalitis in Canada Lancet Sept. 1983 [2pgs] Guillain -Barre Syndrome Following Administration of Live Measles Vaccine Amer J of Med 1976 Vol 60 [3pgs] Summary: In a 19 month old girl and a 16 month old girl the gullian barre syndrome developed within a week after they received, respectively, live measles-rubella vaccine and live measles vaccine. The older child was immune to rubella at the time of vaccination, but both girls demonstrated a primary measles antibody response. Serum obtained during the acute and convalescent stages from the younger child was tested for antibodies against the herpes virus, epstein barre virus, cytomeglovirus and varicella -zoster and found to be negative. the author goes on to state vaccine and wild strains can in the pathological process lead to demyelinzation. These two cases again emphasize the need to carefully document the neurological diseases which follow infections with live virus vaccines.

After administration of OPV alone, vaccine poliovirus serotypes were recovered in feces within 1 week and for as long as 31-60 days in 30%-80% of subjects after 1 or 2 doses and in 30%-50% after immunization with >3 doses. No revertant poliovirus shedding was observed after OPV challenge in subjects immunized previously with >3 doses of OPV. However, fecal shedding of revertant poliovirus after OPV challenge was observed in 50%-100% of subjects previously immunized with >3 doses of the EIPV. These findings suggest that prior immunization with EIPV does not prevent fecal shedding of revertant polioviruses after subsequent reexposure to OPV.

The authors conclusion was...on the basis of the five cases reported here(and two others observed by one of the authors, one of the patients dying) that any change in a vaccination scar should be investigated.

The occurrence of infectious episodes during the month following vaccination was compared to that during the month prior to its administration. The 3 days following vaccination were not included. In comparison to the month prior to immunization, during the month following there were significantly more infants with fever(6.1%vs.24.4%,p < 0.001),with diarrhea (7.3%vs.23.1,p < 0.005),and with cough (37.7%vs.52.4%p N.S.). After the first month of the study, there was an increase in morbidity in the region ,so we reevaluated those cases who had been seen during the latter 3 months .The same trend was found: in the month following immunization there were significantly more infants with fever(53%vs.25%,p < 0.005),with diarrhea (10.5%vs 28%,p <0.02), and with cough (26% vs. 54%,p <0.01). There was no correlation between the incidence of these episodes and the age at vaccination. In addition to reactive fever during the first 3 days following DPT immunization, an increase in infectious episodes seems to occur in infants during the month following administration of this vaccine.

Dr. Narayan (Feb 4, p272)suggests monitoring of small-area uptakes and giving authority to the immunisation co-oridinators , in addition to educational campaigns .In England at least, unit managers possess the necessary authority and they receive performance-related pay. We ought to consider seriously the offer of financial incentives to parents willing to present (i just love that word sounds kinda of like leading the sheep to the slaughter-Marie's .02)their children for immunisation .A 10 pound(I do not have the L looking symbol I think it stands for pound -Marie) voucher could work wonders for uptake .The risk of contradictions being hidden by a greedy parent could be reduced by ensuring that the money is linked to attendance at the clinic, not to insertion of the needle.(oh , I am sure they will make sure .Not!!!-Marie's .02 cents)A pilot trial is called for.

In three cases the deafness was unrelated .In six cases the cause was unknown but MMR remained a possible aetiology. Case 1: This girl developed a rubella form rash 25 days after immunization.3 days later she developed vomiting and malaise .On revue, a week later, she exhibited poor balance .nine weeks later she was found to respond poorly to sound .She had stopped speaking for the proceeding two weeks. Case 2: This boys father suffered flu like illness at the same time that the boy was unwell after immunization ,His mother noticed his poor hearing but attributed it to inattention and did not seek medical advice .He also has amblyopia and learning difficulties. Case number 9: (PERSONAL THOUGHT I find this one of interest since the child was vaccinated and still caught the illness i.e. vaccines do not work.)This boy became deaf four months after immunization. Mumps antibody titers measured at this time and one month later showed a significant rise. Two of the cases not related .One child was deaf before vaccination and the other never received vaccinations the rest listed could be possibly related to MMR vaccine. RUBELLA VACCINE: Is RA27/3 Rubella immunization a cause of chronic fatigue (MEDICAL HYPOTHESES 1988 27 pgs. 217-220) [4pgs] Abstract- Patients with chronic fatigue syndrome(primary fibrositis syndrome, major affective disorder ,etc.)have elevated IgG serum antibodies to multiple common viruses. Only IgGrubella antibodies are positively correlated with the intensity of symptoms and have a height that is clearly significant compared to healthy controls. The lymphotrophic properties of the rubella virus could account for the multiple elevated antibodies. Adult women are over-represented in the population of patients with chronic fatigue, and are especially susceptible to developing such symptoms following exposure to attenuated rubella new more potent strain of live rubella vaccine strain RA27/3 (my.02 this vaccine is the one using the aborted fetal tissue cells)was introduced in 1979.Within three years reports of patients with chronic fatigue began surfacing in the literature. Considering all this, the possible role of rubella immunizations in the etiology of chronic fatigue syndromes deserves further study. Rubella Vaccination of Hospital Employees (this talks about low immunization rate in doctors) JAMA Feb.20,1981 Vol 245 No 7 [2pgs] Two Syndromes Following Rubella Immunization (Suggests a polyneuropathy in both syndromes) (JAMA 1970 Vol 214 no 13) [5pgs.] Chronic Arthritis After Rubella Vaccination Clinical Infec Dis. 1992 15;307-12 [6pgs] Acute Arthritis Complicating Rubella Vaccination (ARTHRITIS AND RHEUMATISM 1971 41) [4pgs] Joint Symptoms Following an Area Wide Rubella Immunization Campaign Report of a Survey Am J of Public Health Vol 62 no 5 [4pgs] Polyneuropathy Following Rubella Immunization Am J Dis Child 1974 Vol 127 [5pgs] Postpartum Rubella Immunization: Association with Development of Prolonged Arthritis, Neurological Sequelae, and Chronic Rubella Viremia (THE JOURNAL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES 1985 vol 152 no 3) [7pgs] Gamma Globulin Prophylaxis; Inactivated Rubella Virus; Production and Biologics Control of Live Attenuated Rubella Virus Vaccines (this is contains info on the use of human aborted fetal tissue cells in rubella vaccine) Amer J Dis Child 1969 vol 118 [10 pgs] I am just going to point out a few things in this article. The first part deals with gamma globulin. The part of interest is the end where there is a discussion between doctors and researchers one being the famous Dr. Sabin. They begin discussing the possible dangers of the aborted fetal tissue cells (they also discuss animal use and its dangers)possible genetic material passed over into the vaccine. Also human leukemia viruses. They start discussing the aborted fetus used in the WI-38 cell(this is the fetus tissue cells they use to grown the disease on it is lung cells[diploid])I am going to type part of this discussion. Dr. K McCarthy: It seems to me that there are two things that we worry about in regards to WI-38 cell substrate. First of all, presence of extraneous viral agents; secondly, the possibility of there being human genetic material passed over into the vaccine. I wonder if there is any information about the reasons for aborting that particular embryo that gave rise to WI-38; and if it was from a family, whether we have any information about siblings from the family and whether they are normal? Dr.S Plotkin, Philidelphia: I should like to answer Dr. McCarthy's question. This fetus was chosen by Dr. Sven Gard, specifically for this purpose. Both parents are known, and unfortunately for the story, they are married to each other, still alive and well, and living in Stockholm, presumably. The abortion was done because they felt they had too many children. There were no familial diseases in the history of either parent, and no history of cancer specifically in the families; I believe this answers Dr. McCarthy's question. Dr Sabin goes on to say that this issue (objections to thier use) is based on emotion rather than reason. He then goes on talk about how in theory something may show up later that we do not have the technology now to discover(my .02 we all know they did not discover SV40 right away) Also he talks about a number of researchers and the national Cancer Institute are developing a program to determine whether the leukemia sarcoma complex that has been now been so well characterized in avian species and in mice may also have its counter part in human beings.

The fetus was surgically aborted 17 days after maternal illness and dissected immediately. Explants from several organs were cultured and successful cell growth was achieved from lung, skin, and kidney. It was then grown on WI-38. This new vaccine was tested on orphans in Philadelphia. Attenuation of RA 27/3 Rubella virus in WI-38 Human Diploid Cells (more on use of aborted fetal tissue) Amer J Dis Child Vol 118 1969 [7 pgs] Explant cultures were made of the dissected organs of a particular fetus aborted because of rubella, the 27th in our series of fetuses aborted during the 1964 epidemic. The third explant, which happened to be from kidney, was selected arbitrarily for further study.

Thirteen could be adequately accounted for by cases other than vaccine, and another 11 were uncomplicated febrile convulsions probably related to vaccination. One case met diagnostic criteria for subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. The remaining 59 showed clinical features of encephalitis or encephalopathy. Causes of these cases could not be established, but 45 (76%) had onset between 6 and 15 days after vaccination; this clustering suggests that some may have been caused by vaccine. From 1963 through 1971, 50.9 million doses of measles vaccine were distributed, and, therefore, incidence of the reported neurologic disorders was 1.16 per million doses. Risk of encephalitis following measles infection is one per thousand cases. (my note - the vast majority of vaccine complications go unreported making the figure inaccurate and the figure for encephalitis complications following measles infection is grossly overstated.)

The older child was immune to rubella at the time of vaccination, but both girls demonstrated a primary measles antibody response. Serum obtained during the acute and convalescent stages from the younger child was tested for antibodies against the herpes virus, epstein barre virus, cytomeglovirus and varicella -zoster and found to be negative. the author goes on to state vaccine and wild strains can in the pathological process lead to demyelinzation. These two cases again emphasize the need to carefully document the neurological diseases which follow infections with live virus vaccines.

After administration of OPV alone, vaccine poliovirus serotypes were recovered in feces within 1 week and for as long as 31-60 days in 30%-80% of subjects after 1 or 2 doses and in 30%-50% after immunization with >3 doses. No revertant poliovirus shedding was observed after OPV challenge in subjects immunized previously with >3 doses of OPV. However, fecal shedding of revertant poliovirus after OPV challenge was observed in 50%-100% of subjects previously immunized with >3 doses of the EIPV. These findings suggest that prior immunization with EIPV does not prevent fecal shedding of revertant polioviruses after subsequent reexposure to OPV.

The authors conclusion was...on the basis of the five cases reported here(and two others observed by one of the authors, one of the patients dying) that any change in a vaccination scar should be investigated.

The occurrence of infectious episodes during the month following vaccination was compared to that during the month prior to its administration. The 3 days following vaccination were not included. In comparison to the month prior to immunization, during the month following there were significantly more infants with fever(6.1%vs.24.4%,p < 0.001),with diarrhea (7.3%vs.23.1,p < 0.005),and with cough (37.7%vs.52.4%p N.S.). After the first month of the study, there was an increase in morbidity in the region ,so we reevaluated those cases who had been seen during the latter 3 months .The same trend was found: in the month following immunization there were significantly more infants with fever(53%vs.25%,p < 0.005),with diarrhea (10.5%vs 28%,p <0.02), and with cough (26% vs. 54%,p <0.01). There was no correlation between the incidence of these episodes and the age at vaccination. In addition to reactive fever during the first 3 days following DPT immunization, an increase in infectious episodes seems to occur in infants during the month following administration of this vaccine.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 Dear Corey: Although I am sure the doc can offer a more detailed explanation, basically the reason for watching nutrients and vitamins, like iron, is because it is a " fat soluble " vitamin/mineral. There are two categories of these vitamins/suppliments/minerals, etc. The " fat soluble " ones are those that stay in the system until needed, and they can be stored in various organs. Iron is one of these types, and excess iron will sit in the liver, and can cause many problems. In certain cases, such as iron, you do not want it just sitting around and building up. It can " oxidize " , take up much needed space for normal activity. With HCV in the liver, why allow something that may just sit there, and could more harm. The other major category are the water soluble vitamins/minerals, etc. These are the " use it or lose it " ones. Vitamin C is a perfect example of these types because, if your system can not use the C, and assuming it does form into major particles, such as a kidney stone that is predominantly made of ascorbic acid, aka Vitamin C, you will eventually see this water soluble vitamin when you urinate. If you take too much at one time, your urine will probably be orange or yellow. Are these harmful in large doses?, are questions that are still be looked into. But, since the fat soluble ones can stay in the liver, and HCV is a disease that focuses on the liver, why take a chance? As far as the water soluble vitamins go, there are still arguments for and against. When a patient asks me about large doses of Vitamin C, I suggest that if they are going to take it, they at least break it up into 4 or more times a day. If I am asked if it is good or bad, I can only state that the studies are inconclusive, and that each person's " body chemistry " is also different. So, what may work week for one person may be terrible for others. You are right to be confused, because there are so many contradictory studies and misinformation. This is another reason why every person needs to become a highly educated consumer. Ultimately, the choice is the individual's. Medicine can only offer bare guidance in many cases, and the rest will be seen in hindsight. I hope this helps. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 Dear Tricia: I might suggest you join a HCV support group to help you through these difficult periods. While it is true that different genotypes respond better than others, that should not stop you from trying. I have seen too many people who are HCV positive, that thought they contracted the disease one way, but, their genotype supports another transmission mode. If the " conventional " therapy even buys you time until something better comes along, and your " quality of life " is not compromised, it is worth a try. I know it hurts, and you have several losses in your life. But, don't let your past cloud your judgment on what to do. While the decision should be yours and yours alone, on whether to begin treatment, get as much information as possible, link up with others who have similar, or worse circumstances, and then take some time to really decide what you want to do. You'll not know how you'll respond until after therapy. You may do extremely well, and 5 years from now you may still be in remission, and a cure may come, or, your body and mind may not be able to handle the current therapy and you may be better off waiting. But, don't let yourself be stereotyped, and base a decision on rumors. If we all could either see into the future and come back, we would know what the right decision is for now. But, you can not change the past, just go for the future. Be well and laugh. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 Message: 16 Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 00:22:55 -0600 From: " alley/ " <alleypat@...> Subject: RE: Health Care Providers and Care Bytme.. I think that is very true. My family practitioner at least admits he knows little about HCV. The doctor I had at the time, when I was dx'd 10 years ago, knew even less and the HMO I had was awful. I'll NEVER have an HMO again unless there is no other choice. I had been ill and getting progressively worse for 2 years and he never took blood work. I had to donate blood to find out. I've since found a great gastro and feel I'm doing the best that I can right now for myself. Thanks for your post. alley/ Dear : I am glad you at least have found someone who is interested and knowledgeable in HCV. While many HMOs are not great, (and I won't defend them), they are all some have. The problem is that the HMOs usually pay lower, and many only attract practitioners that are interested in the " bottom line " rather than the patient's well being. It is very sad but true, and more and more are heading in this direction. That is not to say that all providers are bad, but, when you are dealing with the medical community, " ego " is a term that fits well, and ego may also mean that the practitioner thinks they know it all. None of us do, and I learn from my patients, the Medical Assistants, Nurses, etc. That is why I prefer someone who is willing to discuss, and research their care, to someone who just says " whatever you say " . It keeps me from making mistakes, keeps me thinking, and, reminds me to be humble. I am with a group that takes several HMOs. I am leaving this group, not because of the HMO, but because the " medical director " wants us to see our regular patients in 6, yes six, minutes, and I am not going to sacrifice care for making him wealthier. He knew that one particular HMO was changing, and we all suggested he not accept the dictated terms. But, he is going ahead, and the patient's will suffer. When someone asks me why I am leaving, I tell them the truth. That is not making for good relations with the medical director, but, it is reinforcing the trust and relationships I have with my primary care patients. To me, this is more important. Let me know how you are doing. Keep smiling. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2000 Report Share Posted January 27, 2000 Why Don't We Sleep Well- because e worry too much, which causes a little stress. I don't now why I sleep so well. 7-8 hrs a night of uninterrupted sleep. I have had insomnia before and I focus on the worry a little and then try to let it go. Meditation helps for me as does Tai Chi. And yeathis protein thing can be a little confusing, in fact all this nutrition thing is confusing. ome say lower your cabs and others say increase them. We are still learnig about this illness. Oh well, don't worry about it. But then good nutrition is good for everyone.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2000 Report Share Posted April 19, 2000 please do not send me anymore cancer digest emails. thank you, lle I FEEL like a Pickle.. VINEGAR.. " Again ! I feel like a Pickle, and if I keep taking this stuff, I'll certainly look like one..look I'm already getting shriveled up. " this was the statement we heard over and over as children tried to get out of taking what was good for them.. and practically the same words I spoke to my Grand- mother, and my Mother, when these two women would mix up a tonic for, what ailed us. Apple Cider Vinegar I learned from an early age contains wholesome goodness that is concentrated into a teaspoon of golden walloping power. This liquid is passed with essential amino acids and healthful enzymes. And so it was then, as it is now no surprise to our families that it is a must in the house. Sitting on a pantry shelf at easy reach. And used daily on the table..or in foods we eat. Vinegar was used I remember well for everything imaginable. WE not only used it in culinary, or for medicinal purposes, but often times we was scrubbed down from head to toe with it. If in anyway had been sprayed by a skunk..the wooden tub was soon full of vinegar water, and strong enough to soak an egg. And if we brought in odors unwelcome from the loading of hogs for market, or spreading manure from chicken or cows..you can bet your dirty boots that someone would meet you at the door, even before you got a chance to sit down an partake of the meal. In our house Vinegar has been right up there with what others consider their " wine list " . As back then, as now we treat Vinegar with great respect. Why? because we know that even in one teaspoonful we get healthy and adequate nutrients, that will supply the body with the varied diet. Mix this with a equal part of honey, and you'll double the treat in store. Vinegar is our building blocks toward good health benefits. It has furnished for us multitudes of Vitamins,Minerals, and Essential Amino Acids. Just ask " Ole' Black bag Doc, LC Nigh. " someone would say whenever people questioned us as to why we took the Vinegar so religiously. " Because..LC Nigh is a doctor and he knows what is best for our body's to developed right. " one of the younger children would state, as we lined up to take the dose offered to us. You could never go visit my grandmother without getting something pushed down your throat. I don't care how old you got..she would still either meet you going in the door, or she made sure she got ahead of you just before you stepped out to go home. " Here papooses, you all need this before you take off for those hills. " And thus it was we never questioned we just obliged and trusted the theory that it was all good for us. Sometimes it wasn't just vinegar..but anything in the medicinal family. Since the beginning of time man has sought for a magical elixir which bubbles from the Fountain of Youth. And for most of us that are familiar with Apples, and Cider, know what I'm getting at..and for most of us Apple cider Vinegar may be as close as we will ever get to the real-ness of staying younger; and in maintaining our general health. Or by just playing part of the controlling of it. As for myself I don't know about you..I have always enjoy zestful, and vigorous things that life has to offer in a single day. I live today like there will be no tomorrow. I begin early in the morning and make sure that the right things go into the body..and just before I retire for the night, I again put into the body all that I know will help me in the morning get a good start on life. But I must confess that it hadn't always been this way..somehow through the years, after I didn't have a Grandmother to direct me, I faltered by the wayside..and because of this I also suffered greatly in my body with diseases, and other problems that maybe..just maybe if I'd stayed on the right track I'd not came down with something un-pleasurable. I begin to fall apart at the seams. And not until I had the Melanoma, had I begin to talk a look back and figure out what had gone wrong with my body..who was I to blame, no one but myself for the neglect. I was getting frequent colds, and every flu-bug that came around it jumped one me. My weight went up hastily, and I had some breathing difficulties, and the digestive system was all jammed up. Not counting all the times I had blood pressure so high the doctor wondered how I had drove my self to the clinic. I was a walking time bomb when it came to the nervous disorders of the mind..every little noise would make me jump. I became very restless, out of sorts in everyway. Why? because I had put aside the old time remedies, that had been so kindly handed down to me. And I learned there was more to preventive medicine then meets the eyes. I begin to research for myself, and had to on my own prove that the methods worked. For a long vigorous life, filled with robust of good health, sip very slowly a Vinegar Tonic.. Take 1-tsp of honey, and one glass of water..add 1-tsp vinegar, briskly stir.Take it at least 3 times a day. 1/2 hour before each meal. Now that I'm older and Mel and I don't eat three large meals a day we take it at least once every other day..and not less than 6-a week..Depends on what other preventive medications we are using. ( never mix and match medications..and always check with a doctor, or druggist if getting prescriptions ). The other way to take the tonic is to add a small dollop of clover honey to a tablespoon of vinegar and 1 tsp of olive oil. Mix together and drip over a bowl of greens or raw vegetables. This dressing will please most palates. Fight Germs..and Relieve the pain of a sore throat..Mix together 1/4 cup honey and 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar. Take 1 Tablespoon every 4 hours. Or as needed. ( or for another sore throat remedy.. ) GARGLE..1 tsp-apple cider Vinegar, 1/ glass warm water, 1 tsp, Cayenne Pepper, and 3-Tablespoons clover honey. repeat as often as necessary. ( Also good for a daily mouth wash ) Limit the pepper. ( we prefer 1 drop of peppermint extract ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2000 Report Share Posted December 31, 2000 Water Water Water....me thinks they may have meant 8...8oz glasses of water, as this is a common figure in nutrition and in what I have read. 48 oz seems a little low whereas 64 oz or 2 litres are more in line with what I have been told. And 8, 8oz glasses of water equals 64ozs of water. Bottom line....you can hardley ever drink too much water as we are mostley made of water. It helps clean the body, like a shower on the inside. So, grab a glass and drink up. Also it is the best prevention against kidney stones. And helps with constipation. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2003 Report Share Posted April 14, 2003 I don't want to be a black sheep here, but I've been taking LDN for about 5months now for HIV, which I've had for 8 years now. Since being a teenager I have been a fitness fanatic, and in my adult tlife the only times I've been depressed have been when I've taken a break from jogging and the gym. All my life I have been pumping endorphins which may be why I've been healthy thus far with HIV, despite negative attitudes and scepticism from doctors. Tomorrow I am going for blood tests to see where my body's at, but I'm not too phased with anxiety as I believe LDN to be a long term thing, and I wonder about the state of my endorphins anyhow, exercising as I do. Of course, I am alone in my belief and commitment to LDN, and I don't know of any other 'poz' people in Australia taking it, so I rejoice in my state of health in solitude. I have not taken anything except vitamins and exercise since diagnosis, so the latest results will be an interesting milestone. . http://mobile..au - Mobile - Check & compose your email via SMS on your Telstra or Vodafone mobile.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hi there , Interesting. Just wondering if that is why I have done so well cuz I spend the last 15 years working out quite a bit. Working out creates endorphins doesn't it? I haven't been working out nearly as much for maybe about 3 of the last years though and have noticed that I had been slowly getting worse. I've taken quite a few vitamins in my day as well. Please let us know what you find out from your blood tests and keep up the good fight. You have a great attitude and I think you'll be alright. {{{hugs}}} Joyce. >From: paul stanley <paulyboystanley@...> >low dose naltrexone >Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Digest Number 23 >Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2003 17:38:59 +1000 (EST) > >I don't want to be a black sheep here, but I've been >taking LDN for about 5months now for HIV, which I've >had for 8 years now.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 I experienced the same phenomenon. I was involved in a martial art (aikido) for 15 years where I worked out extensively. Then I tore my knee (ACL) and had to basically give up exercising for quite a while (this was 4 years ago now). I had surgery 1.5 years ago, was on crutches for a while and again did not work out regularly or extensively: hence no endorphins. I started getting worse last year, thought it was my knee, but was dx last fall with Primary MS. So I concur with both Joyce and here that I've gotten worse as I've been working out less, so the two could be related. I hope to start on LDN soon. phil On Tuesday, April 15, 2003, at 06:55 AM, wkendz 32 wrote: > Hi there , > Interesting.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2003 Report Share Posted April 19, 2003 Hi Phil, I think we may be onto something with this whole exercise connection. I've always kind of wondered why I did so well with my MS over the past 15 years and this is probably the answer. I just sort of thought that the exercise, which was keeping my body young was it. I used to think that perhaps I was fooling my body into thinking I was much younger or something. I thought that there was something that kind of kicked in as one aged or something. It would have been just as if I was taking LDN all these years I suspect...hmmmm interesting to say the least. That is what is so good about these chat groups cuz we can all see what is being said and piece everything together like a big puzzle.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 I was in a study last year through the Cleveland Clinic. It tested the effect of physical therapy on MS patients. What I found was that the therapy I was involved in just twice a week definitely made me feel better. Exercise was customized for each person - doing only as much as they could do. My exericises included cardio vascular, muscle strengthening and balance. The hardest thing is trying to exercise after a day at work and you are tired. But, it definitely helped. -----Original Message-----From: wkendz 32 [mailto:wkendz32@...]Sent: Saturday, April 19, 2003 10:59 AMphilh@...Cc: low dose naltrexone Subject: Re: [low dose naltrexone] Digest Number 23Hi Phil,I think we may be onto something with this whole exercise connection. I've always kind of wondered why I did so well with my MS over the past 15 years and this is probably the answer. I just sort of thought that the exercise, which was keeping my body young was it. I used to think that perhaps I was fooling my body into thinking I was much younger or something. I thought that there was something that kind of kicked in as one aged or something. It would have been just as if I was taking LDN all these years I suspect...hmmmm interesting to say the least. That is what is so good about these chat groups cuz we can all see what is being said and piece everything together like a big puzzle.
