more about Candida

What is it?

Scanning electron photomicrograph of Candida Albican
Candidiasis or thrush is a fungal infection (mycosis) of any of the Candida species (all yeasts), of which Candida albicans is the most common. Also commonly referred to as a yeast infection, candidiasis is also technically known as candidosis, moniliasis, and oidiomycosis.
Candida can occur both in the digestive tract and can spread systemically. It is a social and medical dilemma without easy access to answers or remedies of permanence. Literally millions of men and women have a potential yeast infection that is causing, directly or indirectly, a significant number of existing health problems or conditions. If it is not completely removed and/or the body protected, it will continue to grow and will reduce your resistance to a host of physical aliments and complications. The devastation and discomforts that await the body because of this insidious and tenacious parasite is immeasurable and in most cases the means of its removal or control is inadequate. Going from doctor to doctor and product to product is not the answer. It requires special attention and knowledge to overcome a serious to severe yeast infection and the following information will introduce you to a "Candida Yeast Answer Program" that definitely has the advantage of complete and permanent removal of most Candida Yeast conditions. If you have a yeast overgrowth, or if you know of others who are bothered or incapacitated by the presence of a yeast infection, then please read the enclosed information and/or give to those who you feel may benefit. This particular program is remarkably effective and you will find a thorough and scientific explanation that promises and end to a rather difficult situation.

Characteristics

Candida Destroys Your Health

Candida Albicans has become a household word for many health conscious Americans. Candida is a yeast that lives in the human digestive system. It has the ability to change from a yeast and become a fungus. As a fungus it operates in a similar fashion to any other fungus such as athletes' foot fungus, etc. Candida is kept at low levels by the friendly bacteria that also reside in the digestive tract. The friendly bacteria feed on the Candida, thus a balance in the body is maintained. Modern medicine's "gift" of antibiotics, birth control pills, cortisone and chemotherapy kill this friendly bacteria as do street drugs, alcohol, and junk food diets. Once this friendly bacteria has been destroyed, the yeast begins to overgrow and take over the digestive system. Left untreated, it becomes a fungus and grows into a plant-like structure complete with roots. These roots can break through the intestinal walls, allowing the yeast to travel to other areas of the body such as the sinuses, throat, reproductive organs, the lungs and skin just to name a few. It is capable of producing over 100 symptoms. This makes it extremely frustrating for anyone with this condition to be able to find out or understand what is exactly wrong with them. Billions are spent each year on antibiotics, creams, nasal sprays, unnecessary hospital visits, operations and antidepressants, due to the ignorance and arrogance of the medical profession. It is written in their own journals that antibiotics can cause this condition yet they continue to boldly prescribe them and are resentful when discussing their side effects. One doctor who was backed into a corner on this subject during a radio talk show became hysterical with fear and began screaming: "THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS CANDIDA!"
The symptoms of Candida are so confusing that even a practitioner who wants to know about it can be confused. I truly believe that proper testing is the answer. It is my deep-seated belief that those who want to get well must find a practitioner who offers accurate testing. This way the real problem can be found and not overlooked. Look over the list of all the possible symptoms Candida can cause and you will see why I so firmly believe that by symptoms alone one can be misled into treating a "major symptom" and miss the true culprit. Candida Albicans is a negative YEAST INFECTION that begins in the digestive system and little by little spreads to other parts of the body. It is a strong, invasive parasite that attaches itself to the intestinal wall and becomes a permanent resident of your internal organs. It is causing numerous health problems and discomfort for over 30 million men and women every day and it is estimated that nearly everyone has or will have a moderate to serious Candida condition eventually in their lives. Experience has shown that if you do not successfully remove 95% of all the Candida, it will come back.
A yeast cell produces over 75 known toxic substances that consistently poisons the human body. These toxins contaminate the tissues where it weakens the immune system, the glands, the kidneys, bladder, lungs, liver and especially the brain and nervous system. Candida yeast can become so massive and invasive that is enters the FUNGAL form where it provides very long, root-like structures that penetrate the mucous lining of the gastrointestinal wall. This penetration breaks down the protective barrier between the intestinal tract and bloodstream, allowing many foreign and toxic substances to enter and pollute the body systemically. As a result, proteins and other food wastes that are not completely digested or eliminated can assault the immune system and cause tremendous allergic reactions, fatigue and many other health problems. It also allows the Candida itself and bacteria to enter the bloodstream, from which it may find its way to other tissues, resulting in far- ranging effects such as soreness of the joints, chest pain, sinus and skin problems, etc. An autopsy done on a lady who had died of heart failure for no apparent reason, found that her heart was encased with Candida yeast. Vaginal yeast infections are more prevalent today than ever, and they will never completely go away until the yeast has been cleared from the intestinal area. To make matters worse, Candida can be sexually transmitted from one person to another.
Candida covers the intestinal wall which chemically and mechanically interferes with digestion and assimilation of food nutrients. Many people, especially senior citizens, cancer victims and those with AIDS are wasting away for want of nutrition because they cannot absorb what they eat. Many people digest less than 50% of their food because the Candida creates a digestive conflict and robs them of their nutrition. Candida creates chaos in the intestines and diseases of which the doctors have little or no answer and can use only medicines to treat it.

Another - -Thisisms- - WARNING!!! to others From all Countries

As I suspected a yet another ban from Thisisms forum and all I did was reply to someone who needed help.

What they are doing is so wrong, Somebody needs to stop them. Urgently before they cause unreversable harm to someone.

They stand for corruption and its a disgrace, trouble is the site is so needed by genuine users, as they have made such friends and get other much needed info on other subjects. A new site needs setting up for them to replace this one as in wrong hands.

Dr Sclafani and Jimmylegs control this board. with the help of Cece and Cheerleader.

I cant do anything as I need to concentrate on myself and getting better and it makes me feel guilty but I have no choice at the moment.

Please do not let them get away with it, PLEASE HELP, as they can access anyone from any country as they have a translation service

Hi everyone,

I am new to this board and I have had some troubling symptoms and am wondering if any of you could shed some light on the situation.

About a month ago I experienced my first episode of trigeminal neuralgia. Had a few bouts and lasted two days. Just last weekend I had it again, several more times than last time. Then about 24 hours later I started to experience tingling/pins and needles on one side (opposite side to the neuralgia). Over the week I have experienced intermittent tingling, pains like I've been stung by a bee on my fingers and toes and general relaxed/tired feeling in the arms and legs. I saw my gp, and then the neurologist who both did a thorough exam and could not find any problems. I also had an MRI and that was clear. I am awaiting blood test results. I had a thought it could be shingles but the rash I have is only right in the centre of my chest. I am 33 years old.

Do you think I have anything to worry about?
Thanks in advance.

Stella,

Google ; dr windman atlas - you will find trigeminal neuralgia is a symptom. Also a misaligned atlas can cause sensation problems elsewhere in the body. Its important that you are not given loads of unnecessary stuff to read, filling your head but this is relevant I cant post her full article or link because of copyright.

Hope it help as trigeminal is classed the worst type of pain anyone can suffer. I could also point you in the direction of chiropractic board, in treatments section, there is a post on there regarding trigeminal and fibromyalgia and a post by Dania that gives a detailed diagram of the spine and how it affects the body, that is also good good,

found an interesting overview of TN stella - any clarification re what subtype you could be dealing with? ie do you have an msdx and therefore this would be likely the ms-associated subtype?
http://www.umanitoba.ca/cranial_nerves/ ... types.html
nothing on lyme disease here by the way - lyme did crop up when i was scouting about earlier on google scholar though, hence the mention above

Stella,

Yes me lymes could be a contender, if you are in a high risk area, or a Vet and if you have a target style bite mark, but it wont cause trigeminal neuralgia. ok there is no proof that it does ok

Candida and Cancer connection

 Google: Candida and Cancer connection.   makes complete sense to me.

 My Candida invaded my blood, I know this as I discovered that I had it it March 2011, I wasted it through my digestive system as yellowish/light brown in color, I thought it had gone, but every time I had acupuncture, or Chiropractic adjustment a day or two after I would again waste it, but it would only be the once, this time was not constant.

I have read that cancer is the body's natural defense against the fungus infection, that I believe in my case was caused by stress/worry, which I inherited from my Dad, who in fact died from prostate cancer back in 2008

Candida-cows-methane>>>>> the food chain

I think Candida has been allowed to enter the food chain through beef

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Health Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef

The Candida Diet and Grass Fed Beef There has been a new food revolution in the past two decades which has changed the way we eat forever. Health-conscious farmers have begun to turn away from traditional corn- and grain-based diets for cows and let them eat grass in pastures, just as nature originally intended.
The result is healthier, more nutritious beef with healthy levels of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins. With a taste that rivals any cut of grain-fed beef, pastured cows are becoming increasingly popular around the country.
The Truth About Feedlot Cows
Feeding cows a steady diet of grain and antibiotics is a relatively new phenomenon. Not so long ago, raising cows on pasture from beginning to end of life was the norm. It wasn't until farmers and scientists discovered they could raise a cow more quickly with antibiotics and fatten them with a grain-based diet that cattle farms went from pasture to feedlot. Cows that normally took four or five years to reach an appropriate size and weight for slaughter are now raised in 14 to 16 months. They are able to gain a tremendous amount of weight by consuming corn and grains, which is not a native diet for the cows. Cows belong to a group of animals called ruminants, which means their delicate two-stomach digestive system is meant to process grass in a way that most mammals cannot. They are also pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormones in order for concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) to produce as many fat cows as they could in the shortest amount of time.
Feedlots often house less-than-favorable conditions for cows. Since many cows are often raised at once, it's not unusual for their waste to be left untended and diseases to fester unnoticed. Since they are not fed a natural diet, cows on grains often have problems with the pH balance in their rumens and can develop ruminitis, liver abscesses, or acidosis. Quick cattle processing can often mean less humane slaughtering methods, as well.
Health Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef
Aside from deplorable living conditions and unnatural diets, grain-fed cows also lack the health benefits of cows raised on grass. One of the most notable benefits of grass-fed beef is that it has an ideal ratio of omega; grass-fed beef has an omega 6:3 ratio of 0.16 to 1, while grain-fed beef can often have an omega 6:3 ratio higher than 20:1. The ratio of fats in grass-fed beef is perfect for our bodies and lower in saturated fat than grain-fed beef.
Another benefit of grass-fed beef is something called conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA. Ruminants that are raised on grass have three to five times more CLA than animals that are raised on grain. Studies have shown that CLA has antioxidant properties, and has even been known to prevent some forms of cancer. This powerful information is just another reason to introduce grass-fed beef into everyday diets.
Grass-fed beef also has higher levels of beta carotene and vitamin E.
Environmental Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef
In addition to the health benefits of grass-fed meat, it's also better for the environment. First and foremost, cows raised on pastures use far less fossil fuels since they harvest and fertilize the grass. Feedlot cows are fed corn and grains which are fertilized with precious fossil fuels, and are often sprayed with pesticides. Rain runoff from the manure of feedlot cows can spread pesticides and antibiotics to other farms, crops, and public water sources.
Studies have also shown that pastured animals can help reduce soil erosion and even reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. While grass-fed cattle produce more methane than grain-fed cattle, pastures and paddocks create a phenomenon called "carbon sequestration" which offsets the amount of methane released by cows in the fields. Pastured cows also release less ammonia in their waste, which further protects the atmosphere.

Candida and the Musculoskelatal system- I had Candida and a misaligned Atlas

Candida And The Musculoskeletal System

Most wholistic practitioners agree that a wide range of muscle symptoms are often seen in patients suffering from chronic candidiasis. These symptoms include muscle soreness, tenderness, aching, stiffness, weakness, cramping and rapid fatigue. In particular, the muscles of the upper back, shoulders and neck often become tight and painful. At times, sufferers state that their muscles always feel like they have just finished exercising. It's likely that the muscles may be in a heightened toxic state due to high levels of circulating stress-related hormones and a waste product of yeast cell activity called acetaldehyde.

Candida yeast cells can multiply very quickly and after a prolonged period of growth, the buildup of acetaldehyde toxins can be overwhelming to the body tissues. These toxins are then transformed into ethanol and converted by the liver to alcohol. This depletes the body of magnesium and potassium, two minerals that are absolutely essential for tissue strength and integrity. This depletion, in turn, reduces overall cell energy. As more alcohol is produced, an individual may experience symptoms of being drunk, disorientated, dizzy, or mentally confused. Panic attacks, feelings of anxiety, depression, irritability and headaches are often the results of a Candida yeast overgrowth within the body. Acetaldehyde can also cause excessive fatigue, thereby reducing strength, stamina and clarity of thought. It can destroy the enzymes needed for cell energy and cause the release of free radicals, contributing an acceleration of the aging process.

Dr. Orian Truss (author of Missing Diagnosis) has theorized that acetaldehyde may also interfere with the flexibility of red blood cell membranes. This considerably reduces their ability to make the change from the discoid shape to the fusiform shape necessary for their passage through small capillaries. He has demonstrated that patients with candidiasis have a greatly reduced red blood cell filtration rate through a micropore filter, which increases back to normal after treatment. This may reduce the rate of blood flow to the muscle tissues, impair the delivery of oxygen and nutrients (like glucose and fatty acids) to the tissues, and slow the excretion of metabolic by-products.

Defects similar to those found in red blood cell membranes may also interfere mechanically with the transport of materials through the muscle cell membranes. It is also possible that the various enzyme systems responsible for cell membrane transport are inhibited, making it difficult to keep an optimum intracellular balance of Na, K, Ca, and Mg (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium). Subsequent defects in the ability to provide enough glucose and fatty acids can impact the ability to use these nutrients to produce energy, thereby interfering with normal muscle function.

Arthritis-like pains and even formal diagnoses of rheumatoid arthritis are common in patients with candidiasis. Many times treatment of the candidiasis together with dietary changes will result in remarkable improvement in joint pain and swelling.

What Can I Do To Help Relieve Musculoskeletal Pain?

Each person is unique and finding the right combination of treatments may require some experimentation. A knowledgeable practitioner may also be able to help you put together a treatment plan. You may consider any or all of the following:
  1. Treat Candida with the WholeApproach Program including dietary changes.

  2. Introduce a good multi-vitamin/mineral supplement and adequate essential fatty acids. Magnesium and/or potassium deficiency is common in those who suffer with muscular pain.

  3. Drink plenty of purified water. Drink half your body weight in ounces (for example if you weigh 140 lbs, you should drink at least 70 ounces of water). Whether you have city water or well water, consider investing in a water purification system (i.e. reverse osmosis) or buy high quality purified water that is stored in non-porous plastic or glass.

  4. Systemic Enzymes may help to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Our WholeApproach Forums contain additional information on SYSTEMIC ENZYMES.

  5. Develop effective stress management and relaxation skills to help combat both physical and emotional stress. Prolonged stress increases acidity in the body and produces "stress hormones". Adrenaline, also called epinephrine, is released by the adrenal glands. This hormone helps to maintain increased heart rates and will tell the liver to release stored sugar for energy to the body. Noradrenaline is associated with anger and will raise blood pressure for most people. Symptoms that can be associated with this stress response might include: high blood pressure, panic or anxiety.

    Muscles that you would use to fight or flee often become very tight until released by relaxation, massage, stretching, or exercise. This is one of the most common responses to stress and has lead to everyday expressions like: "uptight", "Pain in the neck" (and other places.) Symptoms that can be associated with this stress response might include: tension headaches, tight jaw, neck/shoulder pain/tension, back pain, insomnia (including trouble getting to sleep, staying asleep, or not feeling rested after sleeping), fatigue, loss of concentration (distracted by muscle pain or tension), learning disabilities, poor communication (listening and speaking).

    Long term imbalances in normal hormone levels caused by unresolved stress can affect the immune system which is normally there to fight off infections and promote healing. Symptoms that can be associated with this stress response might include: frequent colds or flu's, infections, cancer or tumor development, increased allergic responses, auto-immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma).

  6. Massage, reiki, foot zone therapy, reflexology or other forms of body work that increase circulation of the blood and lymph. Heat treatments or sauna treatments may also be helpful.

  7. Exercise. Start slowly and consult with your practitioner. Exercise will increase circulation, "massage" the lymph system and will increase oxygen to the tissues to promote healthier muscles and bones.

  8. Eat a whole food diet with attention to possible food allergies. Keep a food diary and consider a rotation diet. To read more on food allergies read our recent article: Candida Related Complex and Food Allergies

  9. Acupuncture is helpful for chronic muscle/joint pain in some cases.

  10. Molybdenum may be helpful. Molybdenum is chemically responsible for breaking down acetaldehyde into acetic acid. Acetaldehyde cannot be excreted from the body; it accumulates. The body naturally removes acetic acid, or changes it into acetyl coenzyme A. Acetaldhyde accumulations in tissue are responsible for weakness in muscles, irritation, and PAIN.

  11. Get plenty of rest.

  12. Laughter is good medicine! Dr. Lee Berk and fellow researcher Dr. Stanley Tan of Loma Linda University in California have been studying the effects of laughter on the immune system. To date their published studies have shown that laughing lowers blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, increases muscle flexibility, and boosts immune function by raising levels of infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins called Gamma-interferon and B-cells, which produce disease-destroying antibodies. Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and produces a general sense of well-being.

re my previous post on candida infection epidemic

The latest thing is infected solution that carries organs for donation. It is n0ot the solution infecting the organ, but the other way round as Candida can infect the blood as I am sure it did in my case.

Also is linked to Cancer. again wow!

CANNDIDA-AMERICANS HIGHLY INFECTED-FOOD CHAIN POSSIBILITY i THINK

I have been wondering tonight if Candida enter the food chain by animals treated by Antibiotics, as I couldnt understand why they think such a high percentage of Americans  70% are suspected of having it. I have also recently wondered if MRSA is attributed to it. I have also wondered if the recent tree infection could also be included as dogs love a good tree, and could pass the infection on, then I found the following WOW!

It can cause anything from Autism to Obesity it mimics Rheumatoid Arthritis  the list goes on and on, I believe its constantly misdiagnosed as something else, as Doctors deny it exists, again WHAT A mistake


I havent read the following article in detail but someone should. The implications of this is MASSIVE.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>




MRSA in the General Food Supply; We Are In Trouble Now…

Beware; the food you eat can harm or kill you

Researchers say they have found that a serious antibiotic-resistant bacteria known as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is becoming more prevalent in retail pork products. David Wallinga, senior adviser on science, food and health with the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), says samples were collected at stores in New Jersey, Iowa and Minnesota.
“We found the highest amount of MRSA in pork of any study to date – in fact, more than twice as much MRSA as in any previous study.”
Of the 395 pork samples collected from three dozen stores, Wallinga says about 6.5 percent were found to be contaminated with MRSA. He believes the findings pose a public health issue, and says many people are sickened, and some die each year, because of MRSA.
“I’m not saying if you go out and buy a piece of pork you’re going to die – but what I am saying is that it’s in our food supply, and we ought to be taking action.”
Among the actions he suggests is additional testing by the Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, so consumers will have the information they need when making decisions about food for their families. He says something must also be done about the overuse of antibiotics on farms.

New Strain of MRSA Found in Milk

Researchers have discovered a new strain of antibiotic-resistant superbug bacteria in milk. This previously undetectable strain has also caused human infections.
The bacterium, a strain of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), appears to be relatively rare. It turns up in about 1% of MRSA cultured from humans in the U.K.
Researchers say it poses little threat to people who drink milk or eat dairy products like cheese, since pasteurization and digestion kill bacteria, including MRSA.
Any danger to people, researchers say, would likely come from contact with cows that carry the strain.
Whether or not the new strain may be present in cattle or milk in the U.S. is an open question.
“The main worry would be that these cows represent a pool of the bacteria and these bacteria end up colonizing people that work or live on farms and they take it out to the wider community,” says study researcher Mark A. Holmes, VetMB, a senior lecturer in the department of veterinary science at the University of Cambridge, England.
Of greater concern, they say, is the fact that this new MRSA strain carries a gene that allows it to elude detection by current “gold standard” polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests that are favored by hospitals and labs for their speed.
“If you end up with a serious infection from this bacteria and your sample goes to a laboratory to be tested and the only means of testing they do is the PCR testing, you could be falsely negatively diagnosed, be given methicillin-like drugs to treat it, and they would be ineffective,” says Holmes.
As part of the 2010 Conference on Antimicrobial Resistance, Symposium 5 brought together experts in the area of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).  An MRSA bacterium can cause infections in the blood, heart and bones of people with reduced immunity or during the use of drips and catheters.  Research indicates that MRSA infections lead to excess mortality.
Dr. J. Todd Weber, CDC Liaison at the European Centre for Disease Prevention Control, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Stockholm, Sweden) moderated talks given by Dr. Peter Davies, BVSc, of the University of Minnesota (St. Paul, MN), Dr. Usha Stiefel, of Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs (Cleveland, OH), and Dr. Sheldon L. Kaplan, of Baylor College of Medicine and the Texas Children’s Hospital (Houston, TX).
Dr. Davies presented on the topic of MRSA in Livestock: Zoonotic Issues.  Conventional wisdom tells us that MRSA infections are largely caused by the over-use of antibiotics in hospitals, explained Davies.  “Conditions in which animals are being raised today have created a quantum shift in MRSA epidemiology,” said Davies.  These conditions have created a reservoir for community acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA).
Davies noted the emergence of The Netherlands as an epicenter of low MRSA prevalence because of their specific and strict policies regarding treatment and screening for the disease.  According to hospital literature, high-risk groups are screened and patients are nursed in strict isolation.
Dr. Davies also noted a study findings from 2005 and 2006 which found that 39 percent of market hogs had single clonal group non-type-able MRSA while other findings indicated that between 20-25 percent of farm workers had MRSA, which is 760 times the rate of infection in the general population.

Grow Animals is Becoming Very Dangerous

Food animals get many drugs for many reasons. They get them for disease treatment. They get them for

Chicken also carries MRSA
disease prevention….Food animals also get antibiotics for “growth promotion,” a metabolic mysterious process that has made possible the entire high-volume, low-margin business of industrial-scale farming….The Union of Concerned Scientists estimates that, of those 29.5 million pounds of antimicrobials given to animals every year, only 2 million of them are actually intended to treat disease. The rest, almost 80% of all antibiotics used in the United States every year, are “non-therapeutic.”
The process makes human-medicine experts furious. From their point of view, farmers are routinely practicing antibiotic misuse: giving drugs in the absence of disease, and giving them in such small doses that they kill off only vulnerable bacteria and leave the Darwinian battleground clear for the tough ones. Making it worse, many of the animal drugs are identical, or closely chemically related, to drugs used in humans to combat disease.
Mckenna explains that there has been a great debate through the years as to whether or not these agricultural practices are directly leading to drug-resistant bacteria that endanger humans. The ag. advocates have argued for decades that the direct link had not been demonstrated. Mckenna points out that, technically, this was correct for many years. Scientists had a hard time putting every piece of the puzzle together to prove the link because the chain of events spanned decades and a very complex processes of transmission. In 1976, Dr. Stuart Levy of Tufts U. was able to finally prove the link between drugged chickens and transmission of disease to humans handling the chickens. According to Mckenna, this led the EU to ban the use of a particular drug as an anima

Thisisms is definitely grooming people to their way of thinking

Candida causes vitamin deficiency, Jimmylegs knows that as banned me and moved all my Candida posts to the diet section, made it a sticky under healthy gut, so it looks all innocent but she knew exactly what she was doing.

Also there is a group including Cece, Cheerleader, a Dr Sclafani who promote ccsvi  to an alarming degree, when a misaligned Atlas can cause restricted blood flow, again they know this, but choose to ignore it. I suppose a lot of money is being made on this theory. They are targeting those vulnerable people and stop those with alternative ideas like me by banning them, its really unforgivable as very manipulative.

They have access to anyone from any country as they have what seems to be a very competent and sophisticated translation service.

2nd page of privious post, Thisisms site pro ccsvi, filling peoples heads to capacity on this one subject

Glad to hear it! I liked the format of this workshop, with a focus on cases.

from the "IR Doc blog":
http://irdoc.tumblr.com/post/2000018666 ... ctor-in-ms

Quote:
CCSVI a causal factor in MS?

Well this is a big thing in the US. A potential cause with an IR treatment for MS? Lots of interest and investment into a treatment that may well have no current good scientific evidence to support it, I’m heading to a 2 hour session tomorrow am to see if I can be convinced.

I wonder if he'll post again whether he was convinced or not. I am not sure who the IR Doc is but it's good to get the point-of-view, however brief, of someone new to CCSVI. (As an aside, IR doc has a number of cases laid out on his main page http://irdoc.tumblr.com and his images are excellent. I am amused that I have now seen enough images to distinguish excellent from average. No jugulars though. He is not one of the doctors treating CCSVI.)

Actually the presenter said that they are settling in to a pretty steady rate of 10 procedures a week after having an initial "Bolus" of up to 6 a day. he said this is still a lot for a new procedure and that it was easy to incorporate in a standard IR practice. he said that "bolus" was also typical for new procedures.

Dr Dake and I were on KGO evening news a few minutes ago. We were both speaking for clinical trials. I'll let you know when they post the segment on the web. he will start his trial this year!

I think this is about the presenter from sunday who said there was a decrease in patint visits.

SIR: Interventional radiology's role in healthcare is changing

Ok, I am scrounging for information here. There isn't much coming out of SIR aside from the news articles, which are admittedly all in support of CCSVI. Here's a comment that Interventional radiology's role in healthcare is changing, and I think it is changing as they take on more and more. Minimally invasive has a natural advantage over more invasive techniques, if a disease can be treated that way. Before learning of CCSVI and becoming involved as I have, I would have thought that IRs only treated patients with heart disease. Shows what I knew. There was talk at SIR of an endovascular treatment to reduce blood flow to the stomach, which reduces the production of ghrelin which stimulates hunger. If it ended up being as effective as bariatric surgery but with fewer complications, then it's brilliant, and innovational, and exactly what we've come to expect from our IRs.

CCSVI a causal factor in MS?

Well this is a big thing in the US. A potential cause with an IR treatment for MS? Lots of interest and investment into a treatment that may well have no current good scientific evidence to support it, I’m heading to a 2 hour session tomorrow am to see if I can be convinced.

I wonder if he'll post again whether he was convinced or not. I am not sure who the IR Doc is but it's good to get the point-of-view, however brief, of someone new to CCSVI. (As an aside, IR doc has a number of cases laid out on his main page http://irdoc.tumblr.com and his images are excellent. I am amused that I have now seen enough images to distinguish excellent from average. No jugulars though. He is not one of the doctors treating CCSVI.)

And he did post again! It's interesting to have the point-of-view of an IR who is new to CCSVI with potential healthy skepticism.

CCSVI a causal factor in MS (after the workshop)

5 speakers presenting their cases and giving tips on technique in diagnosis and management. All speakers agreed that they think the treatment works in some patients, but they dont know why. Interesting as they all seemed to have slightly different opinions on some aspects of diagnosis. I was left in no doubt that there is a group of patients with MS who seem to have a genuine stenosis of the jugular vein/veins. However I am well aware of many patients without MS who also have this.

A striking case was shown of severe bilateral stenosis in a patient with progressive and severe MS. He was treated with angioplasty and definitely improved significantly beyond what you could expect from any placebo effect. Anecdote I know, but striking. I remain in some doubt as to whether CCSVI is a genuine abnormality that can cause MS.

The only distinction I would make is that he's talking about CCSVI as a cause for MS, and we shy away from that 'c' word, along with other 'c' words like cure. Dr. Dake described CCSVI as a promoter of MS, similar to smoking being a promoter for lung cancer but not the only way you can get lung cancer, and I've been down with the 'p' word ever since.

Not sure if folks saw this ABC News feature on CCSVI, Dr. Dake and patient Carol Schumacher---Dr. Dake is pushing for his clinical trial to get underway. He's fully funded...just waiting for a neurologist in the Bay Area to come on board.....
http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?sectio ... id=8596500

We had a great Doctors' roundtable last night. Jeff introduced our hero, Dr. Dake. Robust discussion and some new relationships made across practices. I'll write more later. We missed Sal terribly. Hope he's recovering.

Such great pictures.

I wonder most about what Dr. Goodin's reaction was?

Hey, I came across Dr. Cumming in the pictures! And there is Jeff talking. I remember going back to read through the very first posts here at TiMS, when I was trying to learn what there was to learn, and there were many many posts from Cheer for many months and then at last a thread from Jeff telling his side of the story about the procedure he'd had.

I see a picture of Dr. Arslan presenting on Putnam, and the early vascular hypothesis of MS that was neglected in favor of the autoimmune hypothesis in later years.

And what's holding Dr. Dake up is not yet finding a neurologist to partner with? What an opportunity for the neurologist who ends up taking it. This is the groundwork that is being done, there will be papers on CCSVI for years to come, that will build on and cite the papers done now.

You got it, Cece. What's holding him up is partnership with a Bay Area neurologist-- he is fully funded, has the patients and is ready to go.
Dr. Goodin seemed interested...we'll see where it leads. We need this interdisciplinary cooperation.

Yup, Jeff can actually talk for himself, Cece :!:
and I sometimes let him get a word in edgewise :)...(he's actually a really wonderful public speaker, and since venoplasty, he no longer worries about searching for words or stammering.) He was thrilled to introduce Dr. Dake, the man that gave him back his brain.

CCSVI Alliance president, Sharon Richardson, gives a great summation of her experiences at SIR and the Alliance Doctors' Roundatble--with links to abstracts --on Facebook. If you don't like CCSVI Alliance on FB yet, make sure to do so!
