Guest guest Posted May 6, 2001 Report Share Posted May 6, 2001 Hi and Welcome, Yup, you can get white spots in and around the vagina, and vulva area. I have had them before.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hi Dean, Thanks for the feedback. I do exhibit some of the things you talk about. I have a fairly hard time concentrating on anything that doesn't interest me. When I was younger (9-10 years old) I was diagnosed with ADD which is a load of bull and it seemed to be a " way out " for my parents to deal with me not getting good grades. I was thrown on Ritalin which just messed me up to the point where I couldn't function mentally. I've also always considered myself a lazy person.. I have to fight myself to do simple chores like mowing the lawn, taking the trash out etc as I just feel " I can do it later " . I'm chomping at the bit for my doc to call me regarding the results.. Maybe I should call him. Anyhow, thanks again for the feedback. I'll definitely post and let you know how things progress. - > In a message dated 5/4/2004 2:02:45 PM Eastern Standard Time, > writes: > Hello, > > My name is .

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 yes there are!!! also if you have no other conditions i would ask your doctor about milk thistle while on treatment. it has shown help in treatment by lowering your enzynes and causeing the drug to stay at higher levels longer. but i know severel that failed 1st time to knock it out the 2nd time.also you will give your liver a break.also see info on gov site on there study Milk Thistle for Hepatitis C Many patients use alternative and complementary therapies to manage hepatitis C and resulting liver fibrosis, but most such agents have not been studied in Western clinical trials. Again in the May 2007 issue of Gastroenterology, S.J. Polyak and colleagues reported data from a laboratory study of the anti-inflammatory and antiviral properties of a standardized milk thistle (Silybum marianum) silymarin extract known as MK-001. They found that MK-001 inhibited expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and inhibited nuclear factor kappa B-dependent transcription in human hepatoma cells. MK-001 also demonstrated both preventive and therapeutic effects against HCV infection of cells. When combined with interferon alpha, MK-001 inhibited HCV replication more than interferon alone. The compounds silybin A, silybin B, isosilybin A, and isosilybin B produced the strongest anti-HCV activity. These antiviral effects were found to be independent of MK-001-induced cytotoxicity. The authors concluded that, “The data indicate that silymarin exerts anti-inflammatory and antiviral effects, and suggest that complementary and alternative medicine-based approaches may assist in the management of patients with chronic hepatitis C.” Mircea scu <mirceani@...> wrote: Good morning I had pegintron and ribavirin treatment, for about 8 weeks only, 5 years ago in 2002.

At the hep c clinic i go to for my meds, say that gino type 1A is the hardest to clear. I got so lucky i have to take the treatment for 48 weeks. So far i've only had mild to modrate side affects, mostly headaches, and burning in my upper stomache area. Anyways my point is my my viral load is already dropping. I would take the meds. kristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Gen 1a usually requires a 48 week treatment so sure it's worth a try, but you have to follow through because 8 weeks is a waste of time for you. Good luck. ;-) Gayle > > Good morning > > I had pegintron and ribavirin treatment, for about 8 weeks only, 5 > years ago in 2002.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I have definitely read circumstances where someone taking one version of interferon starts off with no response and then just a simple switch to another companies version of interferon made all the difference in the world. I'd say, definitely, give it a try. A lot of Dr.'s would say " hog wash " but other's swear by different interferons. Good luck!! PS I'm still trying to get treated for the first time. My insurance doesn't cover HCV treatment, so I first have to convince the liver clinic at General Hospital, SF to see me. And then, I will have to apply for patient assistance if I have any chance at getting treated. The good news for me is that I'm on day 68, clear from all drugs and alcohol with no future relapse reserved.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 thanks for the info. This response to low dose treatment is consistent with other chemical/nutriceutical interventions that I have learned., Roemer [low dose naltrexone] Re: Question from new member Prostate cancer (no prior hormone-blocking therapy)Although recently-diagnosed prostate cancer patients who have not received other therapies appear to do well on LDN, patients with prostate cancer who have already been treated with hormone-related therapies, including testosterone-blocking drugs and PC-Spes, have not responded to LDN.Prostate Cancer.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 , One thing to check for if you live in an apartment is where the electricity, TV cable comes into the building and where the wireless dish may be. Because the amount of electricity coming into a building that size is large you want to be as far away from the entry point as possible. If you are close see to relocating to another apartment. It's a good reminder to those who own houses not to have their bedrooms by that wall also. The satellite waves (or what ever they are) are more concentrated by the dish as well. Also try not to be by elevator motors, pool pumps, laundry room, etc. Good luck, Jennie Jennie Wassenaar ________________________________ From: pkshetland <jasonmcgill@...> Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2009 5:43:58 PM Subject: question from new member Hi all, I'm writing for my wife, who cannot be near a computer whatsoever. She has dealt with serious CFIDS for 13 years, and MCS on and off for over 10 years (lately it's been extremely bad), and all of a sudden she is now sensitive to electromagnetic fields. I'm glad I found this group, because there is a lot of information here. So much so that I'm overwhelmed. We're looking for immediate ways to make our home (rented apartment) safer, but we don't know where to start, other than by avoiding using electricity as much as possible. I'm also only able to use my laptop out of the house. I've seen a lot of devices such as resonance equipment (i.e. Earthcalm) for sale online, and most of it is pretty expensive, and most companies make a lot of lofty claims, but I feel really ignorant. We would be willing to spend money on things that worked, but I have no idea where to start. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be greatly appreciative. sincerely, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hi, , I do a number of things.... One of the best helps when I was bad was unplugging everything when it was not in use (that could be unplugged. Obviously, you wouldn't want to do this with the fridge, but I did unplug the fridge during making/eating dinner when I was particularly bad.) Also, I kept rubber gloves to switch on lamps, plug and unplug things, and screw lightbulbs in and out with, as I had problems with shocks and blowing bulbs when I switched lamps on, etc. I am MCS too, so I have opted for sleeping on an air mattress. If your bedroom is not above a heated basement or room, you will need to get a platform to put your airbed on or you will get cold (Ikea used to have these with wooden slats) or put it on some thick cotton rugs. I had to outgas the vinyl bed for several months in my garage, but now it works well. Hanging out near lakes, rivers, oceans, large bodies of water is often helpful if you can. Also in large forests, if trees do not bother you. I cannot be among cedars, but other evergreens don't bother me and I really perk up there. I actually sit on the ground and " ground " myself near water or in forests, weather permitting. Energy exercises help me, such as those found in the book: " Energy Medicine " by Donna Eden. (I have the Yellow book.) You can check it out here: http://www.innersource.net/energy_medicine/healing_videos_em.htm More info of the type you will find in the book is here: http://www.innersource.net/energy_medicine_faq/energy_medicine_QA_environmental_\ illness.htm Just a few ideas off the top of my head. I recently wrote a summary of all the things which have helped me for another e-bud. If you would like a copy, ask privately and I will send it to you. (It has been circulated for the rest of the forum before, so is old news.) I am huge on supplementation. I take some of the same types of supplements Marc does, but often not the same brands, plus other supplements which help various of my ems symptoms. Good luck; I wish you well, Diane From: xyzjmt <xyzjmt@...> Subject: Re: question from new member Date: Monday, October 12, 2009, 5:42 PM Hi , In addition to some of the other things mentioned above I have found using a foam mattress with no metallic springs to be very helpful (but it might possibly be a severe problem for someone with MCS).Some people also recommend having a bed with no metallic parts but I have no experience of whether this works. An EMF meter might be helpful as then you could measure where the different EMFs are and what increases or decreases them. It also made a big difference to me moving my bedside lamp away completely as even if it was just plugged in but not switched on it had a very high electrical field.
