I have been suffering with asthmaⁱ for about 20 years.  I then developed chronic sinus infectionsⁱ and bronchitis.  About 5 years ago, I had sinus surgery to remove nasal polyps.  About this time, I also started allergy shots.  Due to insurance premiums, I stopped taking allergy shots.  For the first time in years after surgery, I could breathe out of both nostrils.  The allergy shots did help to some degree as well. The bronchitis and sinus infections reduced dramatically, but slowly came back.  I use the netti pot and must say that it is very helpful (at times).  I use a symbicort inhaler from time to time and  notice my asthma kicks in when it is cold or when I exercise.  I have never had asthma so bad where I needed a rescue inhaler, but nonetheless, I am tired of my conditio

I did a search on the site and scanned the handbook.  I was looking to find a statement like, "CPnⁱ enters the body through the lungs, therefore you must have had pneumoiaⁱ as an initial means to longterm infection."  But, I couldn't find something that clearly said that.  Are their ways to get longterm CPn infection without having had pneumoia?  Are their papers on this?  I'm having trouble with this seemingly simple question.  Ken

I have had trouble sleeping sometimes due to some strange air gasping symptom. At first I thoght it was anxiety but find that I feel like my breathing is out of whack. Not sure if this makes any sence, but could anemia be a possible cause?

My ferritin level has been as low as 13 and my skin looks so pale.  I was reading that a low thyroid could also cause this symptom. The thyroid test keeps in the normal range so, what to do now?

 

I hate this.......

hi

A very good podcast on Chlamydias by two of the top researchers in the area, Elizabeth Stuart and Wilmore Webley at UMass. They discuss the relationship to cardiac disease, some relationship of Chlam T to cervical cancer, and both Chlam T and Cpnⁱ to asthmaⁱ in children. 70% of pediatric asthma patients they tested have Chlamydia, with sexually transmitted version and respiratory version (Cpn) at about 50-50. Very important work.

Hello all,

 

I was wondering if there is a Chlymidia Pneumonia doctor near Atlanta that anyone is seeing?

 Or any other doctor in the vacinity of georgia.

 Thanks,

Paul

This is the news:  In England, possible antibioticsⁱ to be sold over the counter, to treat CHLAMYDIA!

This is the story form http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2008/aug/06/health

Oral antibiotics are to be made available for the first time without doctor's prescription under guidelines approved yesterday by the medicines regulator.

A pill to treat chlamydia, the most commonly diagnosed sexually transmitted infection, will become available for purchase in pharmacies across England later this year.

Yesterday we had a family birthday party for my mother's sister who turned 99 years young. She is an amazingly healthy woman. Not a bit overweight, stands straight and works in her garden every day. My mother by contrast is 13 years younger and suffers from a myriad of health problems. The difference is striking. Mom lived for many years with my father who was seriously infected with Cpnⁱ. She now suffers from re-occurring respiratory infectionsⁱ, arthritis, osteoporosis and fatigue.And refuses to go on the CAPⁱ.

has anyone had a diagnosis of chronic strep? If so what treatments/protocolsⁱ were you treated with.

My husband has had several relapses with pneumonia over the past 5-6 months.  Just received positive serologyⁱ for cpnⁱ last week.

He is now finally been taking the dual antibotics (avelox and doxycycoline) for 8 days.

He seems to be improving very slightly...

Due to the fact that he has only had the pneumonia,would you advise us to follow through with Dr. Strattons protocol to eridicte the cpn comletley and avoid future issues?

 I would love to hear all your opinions on this.

Thank You,

Sandy

I am wondering if anyone has any knowledge of any CPNⁱ Prototcol research being done at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota...

I am curious about what Mayo Clinic Protocal might be.

 Any help would be very appreciated.
