Surefire Ways to Strengthen Your Immunei System

If you often get sick and want to boost your immunity long-term, try these tips from naturopath Jonathan Goodman, N.D.

Shock Your System. At the end of your shower, make the water as hot as you can comfortably tolerate for one minute and follow that with a minute of tepid water. Do this daily. The extreme change in temperature stimulates white blood cell production. Don't do this if you've had a heart attack or stroke.

I have been monitored for microscopic blood in my urine since early 2000. The doctor I was treating with back home always seemed to believe it was due to celiac/gluten intolerance as we could never find anything conclusive.... hmmm.. cpni???

I am now out of state with a urologist who has been treating me for 4 years.  Every time I have had an appointment there has been blood in my urine.  

 I just came from a visit with her (my urologist).... all has been tested (cystoscopy, kidney x-rays, urine cytology). Today, I pushed her for a "what are we going to do or conclude" about this?  The only confirmation that we have is that:

1) there are no cancerous or squamous cells; (which is great)  and,

Hi to all!

Does anybody of you have or had before elevated Coxsackie and/or Echovirus titres?

I have them along with the cpnii. I hope the Enteroviruses will pass when CPN gets better!

Could it just be a viral henchman? Just thinking about what gives me more problems?

I asked Dr. Powell to comment directly on concerns that have been mentioned over time as to whether he uses the CAPi with his new patients. I received his response a number of weeks ago but have had no time to put it together in a cogent context. But continued posts on these questions has mobilized me to get his comments to our readers here. But context is, as we say, everything.

FYI.

This week has been one of depression/frustration.... probably due to my impatience and lack of control.  But also because I don't understand what is going on with my body and this bacteria!  Family members keep looking at me at asking "when are you going to get better"... I stopped trying to explain. Having to use a wheelchair this week -- I've experienced the stares from people and small children and now understand what those of you with MSi must endure from society.

Checking through recent post I found this from Pinky, and as Mac commented it might not get the attention it deserves in the place in which she posted it.

"It has been a long time since I have checked the site. Dr. P took me off Flagylii/zithro right away because of the extreme die off. Now I am on Vit D (5,000 per day) and the assortment of liver//kidney saving drugs. The last time I went in I bought the Infrared Light, but must confess I have not used it faithfully. I have been getting PT in a warm pool (92) and it has done more for the pain that anything in 15 years.

I haven't blogged my treatment for a while, as I've been waiting to see if I would stick with a shift in protocol. So far, still with it, so thought it might be time to report in and get other's thoughts. New folks, please read this as informational only. It does help clarify Dr. Stratton's use of the continuous rather than pulsed protocol, but the rest of the hypotheses here are presented as my own speculations, not scientific fact.

In the lyme disease topics their have been someone who is  adequate treatened for it in UK.

I have forgotten the name of the author and cannot find the posting- unfortunately.

Can the one please write a private message with name and adress of the physician? For a friend of mine? Would be very nice.

 Thx!!!!

Hi,

Where is that study, which is very often "mentioned" - at least in the German common medical literature - that IgA is often persisting in C. pneumoniae infectionsi?

I mean, if I interprete it right, there is no evidence for persisting antibodies, but only for insufficient evaluation of the test-kits?!

I believe, that negative tests may be performed and someone although is ill of C. pneumoniae. But I would be intersted in the ignorance of so called specialists, who state, that even postive test results are no hint for persisting infection.

Does anybody know a study which gives information on antibody titers which are not only IgGi ones?

Before I got to this platform I have thought a lot about my symtoms and what makes the "whatever-it-may-be" so robust for all the antibiotic treatment I got.

Finally I concluded, that fibrin must take a role. I have read some studies about e.g. how fibrin clumbs make E. coli unreachable for the antibiotic dose which would be needed to kill them.

Anyway, I cough fibrin since a few years. It is not only "hard mucus", it is fibrin (and I know what fibrin is like, as I worked in laboratory for several years).

Additionally one of my blood status showed less fibrinogen - I wondered about that but it did not fit in any sceme. (Fibrinogen alters to fibrin in clotting).

I want to post it now, because probably the more I read, the more I am influenced on what is posted here.
