RA & Inflammation Reduction and Some Cures:  Case Histories

RA case histories for the antibiotic protocol (AP) in Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Infection Connection were not included. Many persons have asked where they are. 

 

Supporting tetracycline’s rheumatic illnesses AP recovery histories are found in the book: The New Arthritic Breakthrough, by Henry Scammell.  This book includes the complete text of the older book: The Road Back by Dr. Thomas McPherson Brown and Henry Scammell.

 

The AP tetracycline protocol now includes minocycline as well as doxycycline. See the Road Back Foundation website.   This Road Back site is also a link to dedicated support group help. Katherine is now a Road Back Foundation director.

 

Many more recent case histories are posted on the Road Back Foundation website, see: Community/Patient-Testimonials.

Arthritis Bone and Joint Infection: Rapid Reversal by Ketosis, Minocycline and Ascorbic Acid

Ketosis plus vitamin C  (AA) is an adjuvant to the Tetracycline-antibiotic protocol. Combine Klenner's AA and Rheumatoid Arthritis” The Infection Connection, Appendix 2 tetracycline/minocycline protocol. Benign ketosis is induced by drastic reduction of carbohydrate intake to < 12 grams of carbohydrates per day. [See Dr. Atkins’ diet induction stage]

The liver shifts from fat storage mode to fat extraction mode and brown fats are catabolized to acetyl CoA to feed the Krebs (citric acid) cycle where ATP is made to feed energy to all the body cells. Body-cell sugar use shuts down. Hypo-glycemic condition stops in ketosis mode.  

Microbes and viruses are sugar dependent, so are drastically starved. ROS of the sickness oxidizes the AA to the DHA form. Microbes, microbe-infected body and cancer cells need sugar and ingest oxidized Dehydro Ascorbic Acid (DHA) instead.  Inside the microbes and the infected cells the DHA oxidizes the cells' mitochondria and induces apoptosis (cell death).

AA levels of about 28 grams per day were used in one case history on our website in addition to the Appendix 2 tetracycline protocol to reverse (cure) a severe painful bone-joint resident infection of unknown origin in a period of 4 days. Eating honey-covered peanuts was enough to re-trigger the pain locus. The protocol was repeated successfully several times when relapse was induced by the sugar. The periods of remission extended and severity of relapse decreased with each repetition of the ketosis and the combined protocols.

Comment: Add the nutrition in the next case history to further improve the gut microbiome.

 

Alzheimer’s Disease Case History: Reversal by Ketosis diet and Coconut oil:

Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure? [Paperback]  by Mary Newport, MD

Amazon.com Book Description  October 7, 2011

“…Steve, first showed signs of Alzheimer's disease. [In 2000] After his deterioration accelerated in 2004, Dr. Newport began avidly researching ways to keep him functional for as long as possible.

“…she was thrilled to find new research showing that medium- chain fatty acids, which act like an alternative fuel in the insulin-deficient Alzheimer's brain, can sometimes reverse or at least stabilize the disease. When she gave Steve about 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (a source of these fats) at breakfast before a memory test that he had previously failed, Steve miraculously passed the test. Since then, Steve continues to maintain improvement while taking daily doses of coconut oil and MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oil with meals.

“… readily available fatty acids in foods that may reverse the ravages of this dreaded disease. Changes in loved ones may take many forms, including improved memory, return of personality, resumption of activities and social interaction, and relief from certain physical symptoms.

“Because ketone esters, a synthesized form of these powerful fatty acids, work faster and more comprehensively than fatty acids in foods, Dr. Newport has become an ardent advocate for ketone ester research, with FDA approval her final goal.

“..this book that summarizes Dr. Newport's research and Steve's reprieve, the importance of medium-chain fatty acids, and how Alzheimer's patients can make the transition to a healthy diet rich in these vital fats.”

Comment:  Lauric acid in coconut oil is antimicrobial systemically. It is antiviral in the gut. It is anti-arterial sclerosis too. Add to Coconut oil CoQ10 which increases blood flow to the brain. Red Palm oil or palm kernel oil is rich in alternate forms of Vitamins A and E. Vitamin A is antiviral. Palmitic acid in palm and coconut oil is also found in butter. It is precursor for POPG a lung surfactant that reduces COPD microbes (both bacteria and virus) pathogenic actions

It is worth combining both this case history and the previous case history.

Statin Drug Adverse Reactions Case Histories: Lasting Harm and Accelerated Ageing

Despite all the planted, questionable statistics and propaganda on the web, statins do not really work very well to stop heart attacks. They can lower cholesterol to dangerous levels, cause oxidizing stress, deplete natural anti-oxidants, poison cholesterol, disrupt mitochondrial processes, mutate cell DNA, poison neurons, induce ALS, cause neuropathy, cause myopathy = muscle pain & atrophy, increase fatigue and exercise pain….   The list goes on and on.  Nutritional countermeasures are to take increased AA and CoQ10, Lysine, Proline, krill oil and to reduce refined carbohydrates.  An alternative drug Lovaza (EPA & DHA ethyl esters of Omega-3 oils)  sometimes restores mental acuity & speed. Lovaza lowers very high triglycerides (fats) in blood. Our description of statins’ harmful “features” is here.  A well-written analysis of 351 cases of statin-caused pathologies is Adverse Events of Statins - An Informal Internet-based Study.  Other statin drug reaction case histories are found at www.spacedoc.com.

Dr Andrew Wakefield, UK Vaccine Whistleblower, Discredited Wrongly by a Corrupt Medical System.

Premises:

·              Sociopaths are in control of UK medicine delivery. True/False?

·              UK Vaccine program administrators have made major mistakes to lower costs. True/False?

·              UK Vaccine program administrators have true conflicts of interests. True/False?

·              Wakefield is an honest man, wrongly persecuted by the medical politicians. True/False?

 

Wakefield’s Interview Transcript on Why & How He Was "Discredited".

Extract:

“So during this process I was approached by some lawyers who were acting on behalf of these children, investigating the parental claim that their child had regressed, disappeared, become autistic after a vaccine.  

 

“And they said to me, ‘would you help us?  You have an interest in Crohn's disease and measles virus, measles vaccine.  We are now seeing these new children, what do you think, can you help us in this process?’  

 

“And I thought about it long and hard, and I decided that I would, and I later wrote to my colleagues explaining my reason for doing so,

and my feeling was this, it was very straightforward.  

 

“Vaccination is designed for the greater good, to protect the majority and it does so at the expense of a minority. And that minority of children are those that are damaged by the vaccine. We don't know the size of the number because it has never been investigated properly.

 

“But nonetheless, even if you accept that is a permissible ethical approach, that we can protect the majority at the expense of the minority, then that minority are a group of children who have paid the price for protecting the rest of society.

 

“And therefore society has an absolute moral and ethical obligation to care for those children for the rest of their lives, period.

 

“That is it, there is no escaping that moral imperative, and yet to acknowledge those children in a public health setting is to raise doubts about the safety of vaccines and therefore it is much better to put them in a corner and forget about them, to pretend they simply don't exist.

 

“That is what had happened to these children.  

 

“The studies that had been designed to look at safety had been designed in such a way as they would never capture these children.

 

“Nor did anyone want to capture them,

 

“Nor was anyone interested in the parents story when they said my child has regressed after a vaccine.  

 

“They were just put in a corner, told it couldn't happen and never investigated,

 

“And that was absolutely unacceptable.”

 

The complete interview is well worth reading to decide if we are well served by the Vaccine Lobby.

A Doctor’s Case History:

Natural and OrthoMolecular Medicine (Vitamin C Dynamic supplementation)

Dr. Saul’s website DoctorYourself.com describes medical conditions and working techniques for natural treatment. [*****]

Dr. Saul’s website is comprehensive, covering dietary methods to control symptoms.  He has the following Doctor quote:

“I had been a practicing pediatric gastroenterologist for 25 years. During that time I watched some really beautiful children and young men and women die under my care because I had nothing more to offer, and unfortunately what I had offered many times only made their lives more miserable. …After reading Doctor Yourself by Dr. Andrew Saul, I have become a very angry man. I've just realized that for 25 years I had been making my patients sick and big pharma rich. I've just realized that those chronic hepatitis patients that died waiting for a liver transplant could have been easily cured with vitamin C. I realize now that my toximolecular medical education only led me to do more harm than good. That is not a good feeling to have. I only wish that all my critically ill patients had read Dr. Saul's book and fired their doctor. Doctor Yourself in fact has inspired me to now open an exclusive orthomolecular medicine practice for children and adults of all ages, and copies of the book will be in the waiting room for all to read. In the names of all those I didn't help before, I hope this time to make a difference.”  ----(Edward Cichowicz, M.D.)

Some of Dr Klenner’s ascorbic acid (AA) case histories are included below:

Vitamin C dosage levels  Our collected finding on the internet with analysis of AA pharmacokenetics rules to insure effective intake levels.  Basically consider AA to be a food that should be eaten with each meal at about 2-3 grams 3x per day to maintain health.  It will be metabolized within about 3 hours and stored away or gone from blood levels in 6 hours. Illness causes rapid depletion of AA from storage locations. More than 4 grams at a time may have reduced gut intake, except when more is needed by acute illness.

Olive leaf extract is a broad spectrum antimicrobial.  When we were patients of Dr. A. Robert Franco, he included this in his nutritive protocol  Here (above) is an example of how it works.

 

Topical Oils Case Histories:  Emu Oil: (Similar to DMSO is a transport medium)

Emu Oil, is high in oleic acid. Acts as a transport mechanism for medications into the body from the skin. It unclogs pores and is not irritating. It is anti-inflammatory and bacteria & fungus suppressing. It is used as a massage oil that transports to inside joints where it’s bacteriostatic and antifungal effects can kill off  joint and back microbial colonies.  It reduces inflammatory pain, swelling and stiffness in joints, and reduces pain of injuries and strains. It is stable, does not spoil and does not support microbe growth on the shelf.

Case Histories at HerbalHealer.com:

These case histories show emu oil is effective in reducing toe nail fungus, diabetic arthritis pain relief, sore & cracking skin, heals fungal-produced skin dryness, heals even severe diaper rash, normalizes chapped and scaling skin, eczema, improves psoriasis. Relieves minor back pain, bulging disks, tendonitis, and carpal-tunnel pain.

 

Our Own Case Histories:

Since 2001, we have collected a few notable reader and personal case histories with positive outcomes resulting from applying the antibiotic, ascorbic, orthomolecular, and dietary methods in Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Infection Connection.  We personally used the tetracycline based AP protocol (tetracyclines or minocycline) in combination with anti inflammatory, over-the-counter drugs, high levels of vitamin C (AA), and antihistamines.

 

Personal case histories:  [Some areIncomplete]

Bone Spurs/Joint Calcification:

Bone spurs can cause pain as they continue to develop.   A veterinary source gives calcium fluoride to horses to regress and control joint spurs.  This seems to work for people too.  Personal experience.

 

Other helpful remedies:

Quinine sulfate in small amounts, immediate relief for restless leg episodes,

Zinc lozenges with AA for colds,

Vitamins B6, B12, CoQ10, Vitamin C and Vitamin A, Klenner's Protocol for MS and Myasthenia Gravis

Vitamins B6, B12, C, E, and MSM, Carpal Tunnel

Topical DMSO & Methyl Salicylate (Oil of Wintergreen) for tendonitis,

Co-enzyme Q10 to improve heart action energy and circulation

Calcium fluoride homeopathic for bone spurs

 

Adverse Case Histories:

Lecithin Warning: Too much Lecithin.  A Common  gut bacteria (L. rhamnosus) in mice with guts repopulated with human microflora makes fishy smelling gas, TMA, that the liver converts to TMAO and HDL cholesterol. Atherosclerotic plaques grow faster. Nature Abstract. Changing gut flora with antibiotics and the TMA production stops.  Lecithin has choline which is a neural nutrient. In normal dietary concentrations, the TMA generation effect is moderate. High levels of Lecithin as a supplement are to be avoided. This is a surprising new result.
