That's correct! Will be intersting to see.

Still suffer from some low-grade nausea, despite being off metronidazole. So it might be the allopurinol causing it. Thankfully the protocol demands allpurinol only for the first cycle. One thing I found out the hard way is that taking these meds on an empty stomach is not a good idea.

I know, it says on the box that you shouldn't do it ...

I'm very interested in your feedback, nicklebleu. What from of probiotics did you choose for replenishing later?

I would love to try this for MS, but am a bit cautious.

And you probably should be. I don't know, perhaps there are safe protocols nowadays, but just in case that's what Prosch had to say about MS:

Dr. Nelson has
been visiting my clinic 3-4 days each month, and we are developing
and improving these techniques that he originally discovered and
perfected and he has done a magnificent job in his research. We hope
to develop techniques to improve the healing as well as the functioning
of the deformed joints of patients with even long-standing arthritis.
One exciting breakthrough is that some patients with multiple
sclerosis are getting better and improving, but let me emphasize to
any physician here that he should never treat a patient with multiple
sclerosis with the anti-amoebic protocol as the patient can be made
worse
. I hope to discuss this a little further tomorrow when I talk to
you about the intraneural injections.

You may want to check my previous post and the PDFs I linked, and other sources if you can find any, before you make a decision. :hug2:

Yes, I mentioned that in this post also:

I ordered one of the books mentioned in this thread, Rheumatoid Arthritis the Infection Connection: Targeting and Treating the Cause of Chronic Ilness by Katherine Poehlmann. In that book, she says pretty firmly that MS sufferers should NOT do the same protocol, that their issues have more to do with a microbe that is killed by high doses of doxycycline.

So this needs to be investigated just a bit more. As I mentioned, if only 80% of sufferers of RA are cured by the one protocol, and there is another protocol that claims to be effective in hard cases, obviously, we may be dealing with a range of critters. The critters that cause MS may be different or the same, what is significant, is the sites where they locate themselves and the methods for eradicating them and getting the waste out without harming the host.

The allopurinol made me feel a bit urpy too. And yeah, best to eat and THEN take the meds like the instructions say!!!! I remember when Sebastian was sick and we were giving him high doses of doxycycline. He was unable to get up so the vet told us to help him roll over every so often so the med wouldn't burn a hole in his stomach by staying in one spot. That stuck in my mind so when instructions say "take with food", I do.
 
Re: AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES CAUSED BY AN AMOEBA INFECTION?

This sure is a fascinating discussion!

Reading this thread, I felt that I first need to get more familiar wit the whole Bechamp-Pasteur debate over what makes us ill. For anyone who hasn't read on the subject, here's one book I found that's quite cheap as a Kindle-edition and looks like a good primer:

Bechamp or Pasteur? [Kindle Edition]
Ethel Hume (Author), R. Pearson (Author), David Major (Editor)

http://amzn.com/B003NNUVOQ

THIS VOLUME CONTAINS new editions of two books which have been available only sporadically in the decades since their publication.
R.Pearson’s Pasteur: Plagiarist, Imposter was originally published in 1942, and is a succinct introduction to both Louis Pasteur and Antoine Bechamp, and the reasons behind the troubled relationship that they shared for their entire working lives. Whereas Pearson’s work is a valuable introduction to an often complex topic, it is Ethel Douglas Hume’s expansive and well-documented "Bechamp or Pasteur? A Lost Chapter in the History of Biology" which provides the main body of evidence. It covers the main points of contention between Bechamp and Pasteur in depth sufficient to satisfy any degree of scientific or historical scrutiny, and it contains, wherever possible, detailed references to the source material and supporting evidence. Virtually no claim in Ms Hume’s book is undocumented. The reader will soon discern that neither Mr Pearson nor Ms Hume could ever be called fans of Pasteur or his ’science’. They both declare their intentions openly; that they wish to contribute to the undoing of a massive medical and scientific fraud.

I've always been curious about the whole electro-medicine thing. I've built a couple of Hulda Clarck-zappers and also a 'Beck-blood purifier'. In light of the information discussed here, perhaps these gadgets aren't so dumb, after all? The most interesting character in all this is Royal Rife (that was mentioned in one of the C-sessions, too). I wonder if he was on to something big...?
 
Re: AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES CAUSED BY AN AMOEBA INFECTION?

One interesting aspect about the treatment protocol from the arthritisrust.org website:

13. My doctor uses intravenous metronidazole in hospitals to kill bacteria. He says he’s willing to give me the same treatment since he knows it’s safe. Should I use it?

Intravenous dosages of metronidazole will do nothing to halt the progress of Rheumatoid Disease, although it might ease the free radical damage for a short time. Reason: Your “good-guys” microflora must “metabolize” the drug. It’s the metabolites of metronidazole that kill the microorganisms, not the drug itself. Your “good-guys” microflora should be supplemented with a good quality grade of supplemental Lactobaccilus acidophilus & Bifido bacterium. Such supplementation is important for the proper activation of the metronidazole and other 5-nitroimidazoles.

I waited until I had finished with the metro before taking the probiotics, but apparently they should be taken concomittently.
 
Re: AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES CAUSED BY AN AMOEBA INFECTION?

I was looking for some history on the parasitic hypothesis of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. The first available paper was published in 1922 or so (available here). The following one is the most recent one I stumbled with:

Seroprevalence of Acanthamoeba Antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients by IFAT, Tehran, Iran 2007

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3279823/
Although our finding showed that the presence of both IgM and IgG antibodies were significantly higher in RA patients compared with controls, in some articles a lower frequency of IgG antibodies have been reported in RA patients compared with controls, this might be due to persistent or repeated antigenic stimulation induced by cysts, because under some conditions such as starvation, desiccation or extreme temperature, the trophozoite become encysted in a cellulose wall and survive for months or even as long as 24 years (15), a phenomenon such as toxoplasmosis (16, 17). In other hand, the widespread distribution of Acanthamoeba spp. in nature can be led to frequent exposure to this organism (18), but surprisingly most authors agree with this fact that despite high prevalence of specific antibodies in general population, the clinical cases have been reported rarely (19).

It might not be the culprit, but the example in the article does give an idea as to why several cycles of anti-parasitics are needed in such high doses.
 
Re: AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES CAUSED BY AN AMOEBA INFECTION?

Hello, thanks to Laura and all who have contributed more on this experimeto, not I have rheumatoid arthritis, as others have mentioned the possibility exists that these amoebae are causing a lot of problems, so I decided to give a chance to this protocol, General blood analysis have done recently, so normal, start last week, the dose of metronidazole and allopurinol I used are those recommended in this thread

First week:

The first and second day were strong symptoms, headache, extreme tiredness, nausea, yawning all day, vomiting at night, the strongest effects were for the afternoon and evening, as Laura mentioned, vitamin c, is quite good at this, quite helped me to calm many symptoms, I have taken some minerals, alpha lipoic acid, and the rest of the first week, the zinc, probiotics, selenium, symptoms were decreasing gradually, while taking the allopurinol, during the first week.

Second week

I'm on my second round yesterday and today, the symptoms are quite reduced, only a little nausea, mild headache, and nothing else, according to Laura I think allopurinol, made me quite miserable during the first week, I first noticed, not whether this related to the protocol, but the bowel movement has improved considerably, I have suffered from constipation all my life, in order to complete this protocol, and report any changes.
 
Re: AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES CAUSED BY AN AMOEBA INFECTION?


I start round 3 in the morning.

During the last week, I've had a lot more energy - maybe too much because I tend to get going and not stop. After my plant potting extravaganza, I had a backache that was REALLY bad but taping and a single prednisone knocked it out and I was fine the next day.

I've been having a few odd aches and pains that I haven't been bothered by in years - almost like things waking up here and there or something. But, like I said, otherwise, my energy is much better.

I've been on low dose doxycyline for the last couple years, ironically, of arthritis pain. Might explain why I got better on 100mg a day then lost some ground when I had to reduce it to 50mg.
(Had a flare up of IBS and the lower does fixed that.)
 
Re: AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES CAUSED BY AN AMOEBA INFECTION?

Thank you all for such valuable information, thank you Laura for sharing your experience by taking the medicine, i have pains in the spine, shoulders, and when i'm walking like 20 mins the legs are becoming heavy like they are made of iron, i barely can move them, it doesn't happen always though. I'm interested to follow this protocol, but first i would like to ask, the allopurinol and metronidazol requires a prescription from your doctor to be able to buy them from drug stores?
 
Re: AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES CAUSED BY AN AMOEBA INFECTION?

It's been a couple hours since I took my first dose of Round Three and I'm feeling foggy in the head, mild headache, and low backache. I did manage to get some things done before the effects took over, but about now, I feel like I won't be worth much today!

Wishing you strength with your experiment! You're a true warrior :thup:
 
Re: AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES CAUSED BY AN AMOEBA INFECTION?

Foggier still; stiffening neck. Taking a prednisone.
 
Re: AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES CAUSED BY AN AMOEBA INFECTION?

I'm sorry the treatment is rough, Laura. But glad you're doing what will make you better!

It must be better, there is no other option!

Good luck, Laura!
