has anyone tried daily dose of garlic?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12031867


i eat garlic almost every day. straight up or cooked in almost every meal. family tradition i shall pass on to my own children. i rarely get sick and if i do, just the occasional sniffle. i have a ton of energy and have never in 32 years been bed ridden because of a sickness. only called in sick to a job once and that was to witness the birth of my oldest child. we also ingest a lot of horseradish, honey, goat cheese or milk, sunlight and distilled water.

Is 50mg a day sufficient or is that too much? That would be splitting a 100mg pill.

This would also lower inflamation in your body, which is the cause of most heart attacks.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12192140


for what?
mino or doxy?

doxy or mino 100mg twice a day is what that some sites mention, and from some sources, the resultant cost is 40 cents per day.
Most tetracyclines are inactivated or hampered by calcium, so one must be sure theyre not cancelling out the medication. prescription doxy or mino may be one or two dollars each capsule
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 11132818


A daily dose may be too much for some people

My treatment began with a large dose one time, then wait a week. A large dose the 2nd week, then wait a week. Then dosing a smaller dose, 3 times a week. I also used other therapies in conjunction with this, such as the peroxide baths, and diet, and some injections at times of other antibiotics. I was very amazed when I began the treatment, at the results. I would not use minocycline for over 18 months without switching to a different antibiotic. It goes fine for some, but in rare cases, as you approach the 2 year mark, you can get drug induced lupus. This is really bad and you don't want that. It is best to have an MD assist you in administering the protocol and monitoring it. Some people have even recruited doctors to help them with it, had them read a copy of the protocol and begin, and others have found a doctor who does the protocol and traveled to them for occasional consult and upkeep.

I don't know anything about that, I just copy and paste. What is a referrer code? Anyway, you are just distracting from the people who really need this information. I don't do this for a living, or you would have heard from me long ago when I came to GLP. I got the idea for this thread when someone else yesterday posted a thread about how Cancer "cures" are being suppressed by big pharma and instead, they push on us medications that don't really cure you and make more money. It has always been my nature to try to help others, I am a very generous person with a merciful heart and I help many people with medical information and natural health information on many many subjects here on GLP. I have spent the past 25 years studying natural medicine for personal reasosn - because doctors never seemed to have anything but pills to offer, and I was allergic to most of them. I have found alternative medicine to be much more effective, and biologically friendly. That nature in me is how I also came to embrace this protocol as a solution to my own health problems. I found it to make so much sense, to be so much less toxic than the steroids and chemo they give us, and I share it with anyone who is interested, like I am now.

I am not saying I am against all medications or that I have not found some useful or necessary, by any means. But for rheumatic disease, I think they fall VERY short.

Do you work for big pharma, or something?

For those who don't want to read the book (I'm not a book person so much, myself, takes too long - read too many when I was young, I guess) - here's a good article summarizing Dr. Brown's history and work. It's 10 pages, minus the reference pages at the end, but a lot shorter than a book, I'm sure:

The bottom line is treatment with either minocycline or doxycyline antibiotics seems to help quite a bit.

The good part about doxycycline is that you can by it from fish stores for cheap.

a variety of strategies that boost immune function have shown benefit in the autoimmune connective tissue disorders, and may be even more beneficial in combination, such as ldn and doxy together.

I was diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (RA, Lupus, Sjogrens, Raynauds Syndrome)And now my 85 year old Mother has also been diagnosed with Lupus. My poor Mum is in alot of pain--especially in her hands. She is also soooo fatigued.
DO you happen to know HOW is it sold at the fish stores? And why fish stores?

Thank you

Antibiotics are sold in pet stores to cure pets of bacterial infections. Many people utilize this method to obtain these drugs when they do not have insurance, or just want to keep some on hand. I do not recommend just up and taking these medications without being very well versed in this protocol, especially if she is in that high state of inflammation and fatigue. The medications hit the bacterias causing these problems hard and fast at higher doses, which can make you feel quite awful and that is why you take it slow at first. The usual dose is 3 times a week, a small dose like 100mg, or even less if not tolerable. But I am only speaking from experience, not recommending anything. Please read-up on instructions for the Antibiotic Protocol for Rheumatic Disease and don't just go and start taking meds. Be careful.

LOL I wouldn't do that. I'm not the type to just start taking medication (over the counter or prescriptions) that easily. Thats why I threw away the Methotextrate and Plaquinel that an RA quack gave to me, WITHOUT even examining me. She (RA quack)only did labs, tests came in positive for MCTD, wrote prescrptions and couldn't even be bothered to follow up, or answer any questions or return any of my calls. I have been looking and searching for an alternative noninvasive treatment for over a year!

Oh, yes, someone asked about COLLOIDAL SILVER - I use this when I feel a flare-up, but not daily. It can cause problems if used too much, but I find it pretty harmless when used symptomatically for temporary inflammation issues or infections. I recommend the low-dose, regular medications for administering the full protocol, as they are safer and more familiar in their effects long-term.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12539615


I recommend considering again taking the Plaquenil. I take the generic form. It actually does a lot to control my lupus. Lupus left untreated in any way can lead to kidney failure, as it did with me. You do not want this, as this complication in lupus leads to a much higher mortality rate. I take about half the usual dose of the generic for Plaquenil, with no side effects or harm of any type. I was told that my disease was too severe to use the medication, that it would not help me, but it was actually the most harmless of all of the meds they wanted for me, and did me the most good. You just have to get eye checks every 6 to 12 months, and if you are a rare person who gets side effects, stopping the med usually resolves it. Just wanted to mention that to you. As I said before, I don't find all drugs evil, but when the only options are harmful steroids or chemo, it can be worth finding an alternative. If that is not possible, or the alternative treatments don't work for a person, there is no shame in using the normal protocols to at least preserve your life and try to get stable. These diseases are no joke, and should not be left unchecked. I was not diagnosed until I had 7 years of very severe lupus and it did much damage. I did not have access to medical care during that time and did not realize I had something so serious until it was almost too late. I am very lucky to be alive.

That is WRONG when it comes to the mycoplasmas -

Quoting from the link:

Mycoplasmas however, do not have a cell wall, and like a tiny jellyfish with a pliable membrane, can take on many different shapes which make them difficult to identify, even under a high powered electron microscope. Mycoplasmas can also be very hard to culture in the laboratory and are often missed as pathogenic causes of diseases for this reason. [link to www.rain-tree.com]

.........................................................

Mycoplasma is a unique bacteria, and the problem with having it in your system if you have an autoimmune disorder, is that it agitates the defective immune system. It is a trigger, and needs to be controlled to reduce the attack on the patient. Normally, one's body does not attack its own DNA, unless the system is defective. Our bodies are going after this bacterial element, but in the process, creating antibodies that go after us, but cannot kill off the mycoplasmas. So, the cycle never stops until you get the mycoplasmas in check.

I did use MSM, which I think is related.

I had many people suggest many things to me, some of them had miracle supplements from MLM companies, they all had their token lupus patient who'd been cured. I even went so far as to try hyperbarric oxygen therapy, but I had a very bad reaction to that. They didn't even charge me because of it.

OP, thankyou for this thread, I learn alot from these types of threads. I have lost faith with the organised medical world ( doctors). I feel that most of them are negative people and have no interest in getting people really healed from sickess'. I have become a real devotee of all things natural. I'd much rather try suppliments than take any of the man made pharmaceutical drugs out there. Of course sometimes we will need a drug but I try to just be on them for the shortest possible time.

I have a child that had to take Prednisone when she was little for a disease she has and I agree it should be called "devil drug". I used to feel so bad for her when she was on them, Nobody should have to deal with taking that..horrible medicine..

Re: My story and the incredible, little-known-of treatment - for Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Scleroderma, etc.
the whole reason that tetracyclines work in mycoplasma is that they are fairly fat soluable, and can cross lipid cell walls and affect the intracellular space, and in that way get to mycoplasma in significant enough levels, mycoplasmas hide in cells because they have no significant protection of their own like traditional bacteria. Most bacteria poison the body and generate their effects by virtue of the toxins they have in their cell walls.

Ok, I will grant you that maybe your motives are sincere. But if you continue to take meds, how exactly did taking antibiotics (still a pill and pharmaceutical) cure or even "treat" you? Why would you still require anti-inflammatory meds like plaquenil if the inflammation can be brought under control "naturally"? For the record, as a general rule I don't click on links posted on GLP. It's like abstinence for my computer, the best way to ensure it doesn't come down with a STD virus.

PS I am bitter because I also wasted thousands of dollars on false hope. Too many people out there prey on the sick and desperate. Please don't take my skepticism as a personal attack.

pot doesnt cure lupus. Sucks to have that, it's one of the more nasty of the autoimmune diseases, which in truth are far more of a range, than discrete entities. You owe yourself to consider a trial of ldn, it's easy cheap and safer than most things.
It's not a cure, it helps with various issues, and improves many symptoms that coexist with a range of alleged ai disorders, and other things. It works on animals too, animals that dont know they were taking it or allow themselves to be affected by placebo effect, but still got better when no other alternatives were possible.
In the end none of us are here permanently, so in that regard, look for a treatment, hope for a cure, but be aware the must be a time and a place where any treatment will fail, where you must transition from this plane to the next one.

routine ibuprofen, every eight hour, dose adjusted to your kidney function studies, too bad your strung on narcotics, you create a whole new set of problems. Until you get off narcotics you cant take ldn, it may tend to bring on withdrawl symptoms. ldn is great for getting rid of viral coinfections, dry eyes and rls you probably have too

Lots of info, i thinks its the perfect tool if this realtion between bacteria and RA/Lupus is true. You can use minimal doses and go up as your body is able to tolerate.

Its cheap, but not easy to get in some parts of the world, as the medical mafia is afraid of this incredible molecule that renders their overpriced shit antibiotics/antifungales/antiparasites worthless.

Ive used it myself for other issues, and recently my grandmother of 88 years cured his cancer spot in the face in less than a month (it literally dropped off)

Best of luck!!!

Since when did spamming GLP become alright?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1038231


theres always someone that sees easy money in the ill and desperate. Then again it's information that's being sold, the end result of someones investment of time, intelligence and work.
On the whole the information has some merit, but the information is also out there already for those that seek it,
I was gonna start years ago,but had been doing pretty good till recently so may as well start now...

Guess you don't want to cure them all that badly then, do you?

because he's pushing book sales, that's why, it's a tease.

Ummm, no, actually, the book is the story of how it helped people and how it was discovered. If you want to read it, you can easily get it for free at a lot of public libraries, in my experience. Amazon also sells used books for cheap, which doesn't make a publisher money. And a lot of info can be found for free online or at the roadback.org web site I mentioned. You can also check Dr. Mercola's web site.

I realize it is what some may call a "wall of text", but if you are fighting against one of these diseases, no amount of information is too much, because there really is not a lot out there to begin with. At least not when it comes to real answers and real help.

Riiiight. And why the URL you provided us with leading to Amazon, has an affiliate ID on it? This means that with every book sale from this URL you get a percentage.

google
road back foundation,
to start.

The bottom line is treatment with either minocycline or doxycyline antibiotics seems to help quite a bit.

The good part about doxycycline is that you can by it from fish stores for cheap.

a variety of strategies that boost immune function have shown benefit in the autoimmune connective tissue disorders, and may be even more beneficial in combination, such as ldn and doxy together.

I was diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (RA, Lupus, Sjogrens, Raynauds Syndrome)And now my 85 year old Mother has also been diagnosed with Lupus. My poor Mum is in alot of pain--especially in her hands. She is also soooo fatigued.
DO you happen to know HOW is it sold at the fish stores? And why fish stores?

Thank you
