reasons why this blog exists
It would not surprise me if my mess/ms blog is stopped in some way by the powers that be,
I have compiled the information on here as to join up a few dots regarding the condition or supposed condition of MS. as far as I am concerned it does not exist. The conclusions I have come to is that three things are involved.
As in my case and is primarily a Misaligned Atlas but also the added complication of Candida. Also in other cases Lyme Disease is also a contender. it can be any combination of all these factors or just one.
This blog was NEVER intended for public viewing only by those in a professional capacity and due to the number of countries that have viewed it in excess of 140 I believe that this has been achieved and that was my sole intention.
I would like to THANK all that have supported and visited here from all countries, it certainly has given me much needed encouragement and support to carry through with my theories, and for that I am truly
grateful
SO THANK YOU

How Candidiasis can mimic Lyme Disease
How Candidiasis Can Mimic Lyme Disease and Be Seriously Misdiagnosed

In
one study, published by the Journal of the American Medical
Association, researchers examined 788 patient previously diagnosed with
Lyme Disease. Lyme disease is usually contracted by getting a tick bite.
Out of all the patients examined, only 23 percent actually had active
cases of the disease. Another 20 percent had previous cases of the
disease but at the time we experiencing other conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Fibromyalgia. That leaves 57 percent of patients who did not have Lyme Disease at all.
So what, pray tell, was the problem? Candidiasis: the chameleon
disease. Candidiasis is the systematic overgrowth of the ever-present
yeast, Candida Albicans, through out the body. This disease causes a
huge list of symptoms, some of which mimic Lyme Disease nearly to the
tee. Some of the these symptoms include fatigue, headache, depression,
joint pains, fibromyalgia, abdominal pains, insomnia, rashes, flu-like
symptoms, swollen glands, and difficulty concentrating. Just like those
actually with Lyme Disease.
Candida is present in or on everyones body, but it is usually confined to the large intestine. However, when an over growth takes place everything is thrown out of whack. How does this happen? The typical suspects are usually steroid drugs, birth control pills, and hormone therapy. These substances alter the natural state of your intestinal flora, allowing the yeasts to proliferate. But probably the worst offender of this is the use of antibiotics. Antibiotics are indiscriminate. They kill both the 'good' and the bad bacteria. As strange as it may sound, our bodies need good bacteria to function properly. Without the good bacteria, Candida Albicans can establish colonies outside of the intestines. Each cell has what's called germination tubes that hold yeast spores, which burst out of the tubes and spread throughout your body when they reach maturity. These yeast spore feed on sugar and carbohydrates. It is believed that the long term effects of Antibiotic use can last months if not years down the road.
Unfortunately when someone is misdiagnosed with Lyme disease, the treatment can make their condition worse. Patients believed to have Lyme disease are given Antibiotics. Antibiotics will not only be ineffective in treating the symptoms, they will most likely compound the problem, as you can imagine.
There are three things that you can do to help restore the natural micro flora in the body if Candidiasis is the problem. First, eat plain (non-sugary) yogurt with live cultures. I know it sounds kind of odd to eat something with "live" anything in it, but yogurt has acidopholus which helps maintain gut micro flora levels. If yucky, plain yogurt doesn't suit you, you can pick up L. acidopholus/Lactobacillius bifidus, otherwise known as a Probiotic, at your local health food store. They have higher concentration levels than yogurt and are, in my opinion, much easier to stomach. The second thing you need to do is AVOID sugar like the plague. I know, I know... much easier said than done. But it's absolutely essential. Since Candida feeds on sugar, you're just adding fuel to the fire if you eat it. And lastly, limit the products that contain yeast. Besides the obvious of breads and other flour based products, you'll also want to limit mushrooms, brewer's yeast, beer, and wine.
Stabilizing the body's level of micro flora is actually just one group of things required to help cure this disease. If diagnosed properly, some Dr's may want to implement a drug therapy protocol of some strong anti-fungal drugs such as Diflucan or Nystatin. As with any prescription medication, there can be serious side effect and risk factors involved, so be sure to consider these factors. Fortunately there are some excellent all natural compounds that can be just as effective anti-fungals found in any health food store.
The first is Oil of Oregano. This is a very powerful anti-fungal agent. A couple of drops under the tongue a few times a day and POWWWEEE, it kills that yeast like mad. The next is Goldenseal. It encourages the growth of friendly bacteria and also inhibits the proliferation of Candida. The next is caprylic acid. It also inhibits Candida growth. Garlic supplements are also strong anti-fungals. So is pure Apple Cider Vinegar w/Mother (not the grocery store kind). These types of natural therapies can be taken together if the condition is very serious or rotated individually. The length of treatment depends on the severity of the problem. Some people see things clear up in a few days others require months of continual aggressive treatment. Unfortunately, as the Candida begins to die, you might actually feel worse for a little while, but this is a normal reaction called a "healing crisis".
The bottom line is if the Dr is telling you have Lyme disease and you have not been bitten by a tick, get a second opinion. There are specific blood tests for both Lyme disease and Candidiasis. Be sure you know what you are dealing with. If in doubt, if would be safe to attack it as if it were Candidiasis and see what happens. You just might get better! Whatever happens, don't give up until it's gone.

Just for my record
As I improve little by little, day by day, I ask myself over, over and over again, what have they done, what have they done, then i cry, but not for me, because I know what they have done. but for the young that are left in limbo, brain scans clear, so no diagnosis given. Which would be a good thing, if they were given alternatives to follow on the NHS. Its not Neurologists, Doctors or MS Nurses fault. Men and women in suits have done this to me and many many others in fact all of them....And that I find hard to cope with, as I can't help them, not until I walk and then I must remain anonymous as they will hate me, as what they experience balance and pain wise is very very real indeed, but it is fixable even if they are bedridden and need the use of a catheter.
It's an awful position that I find myself, but I have no choice

ms society = the wrong research
All the ms society have managed to do over ten years or more has sustained it's own existence. collecting monies only to contribute to their own organization and medical research. Well H-E-L-L-O!!!! you have been barking up the wrong tree and for years too when you should have been looking at alternatives i.e.as Chiropractic and Chinese ways of looking at the whole system = Mind, Body and Spirit = The Answer
ms does NOT exist, that is why you will never cure it.

Atlas subluxation affects the brain
About Atlas Subluxation Complex:
(C-1 Vertebrae Misalignment)
The nervous system is the master control of all systems of the body, and communications must be unrestricted in order for the brain to be able to diagnose the body’s needs. Imbalance in this system can result in energy blockages which can then become an underlying cause of illness. The proper adjustment of C-1 can remove interference to normal nerve function and create an an environment of health and healing in the body.
A chiropractor who is specially trained in either the NUCCA System (National Upper Cervical Association) or other similar protocol, will do a visual exam as well as a series of neck x-rays to determine if treatment is required. The treatment itself is fast, painless, and very gentle, consisting of very light pressure applied to the neck/ear area. People often comment that they "didn't feel a thing." But the results are generally very apparent, often with an immediate relief in symptoms.
The number of treatments you will need depends on many factors, including the type of condition you have, how long you have been subluxated, your general health, and how long the adjustment holds its restored position.
For more detailed information and to find a practitioner in your area, visit www.nucca.org or call the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association at 1-800-541-5799. Two other sites of interest are: www.uppercervical.org and www.upcspine.com.
Thanks to Dr. Jason Nitzsche for providing this photograph of a C-1 adjustment
How A Diagnosis of Atlas Subluxation Complex Changed My Life
by Andrea Chervenak
Many
years ago I had a negative chiropractic experience, so when an
alternative practitioner I was working with suggested I consult with
a chiropractor specialzing in the NUCCA system (Atlas/C-1 Alignment), I
was reluctant to go. But after more than 10 years of suffering with
vertigo, dizziness, and fatigue, I am so glad I followed her advice as I
discovered that Atlas Subluxation (C-1 Misalignment) was a huge
contributor to my debilitating symptoms. It is likely that my C-1 was
likely subluxated for many, many years...and therefore it has taken a
while for the treatments to take hold. But without a doubt this
treatment has greatly aided in my healing, as well as my overall health
and sense of well-being.
I was very fortunate to find a local NUCCA* practitioner - a chiropractor specially trained to diagnose and treat misalignment of the C-1 vertebrae, also known as Atlas Subluxation Complex. (See websites listed above to find a practioner in your area) After performing a visual exam and taking a series of x-rays, it was confirmed that my C-1 was out of alignment.

(See websites listed above to find a practioner in your area) After performing a visual exam and taking a series of x-rays, it was confirmed that my C-1 was out of alignment.
I have been treated for Atlas Subluxation Complex for the
few years, and have experienced dramatic relief from my symptoms. I
know when my C-1 is out of align because my symptoms begin to flare-up:
I may start getting headaches, and/or lower back pain. And if I go
without treatment for too long the results can be more severe -
dizziness, mild depression, constipation, and vertigo. Even after all
this time I am always amazed as to how immediate the relief from
symptoms is after being adjusted. Even the degenerative discs in my
neck and back no longer cause discomfort, but will flare up if I am out
of align. I do want to point out that not everyone has immediate relief,
but with the proper adjustment, and a little patience, the results can
be remarkable.
The treatment really is
very gentle - there is no rough manipulation. There are times I get an
adjustment and feel absolutely nothing, or at most a very light touch
to the ear or neck area. If you suffer with the symptoms described
above and the root cause has eluded you , or if you have an undiagnosed
illness and have not found relief through any other means, I recommend
you consider investigating Atals Subluxation (C-1 Misalignment) as the
culprit! ~ Andrea Chervenak
