Neurotoxins: Is this another too-good-to-be-true remedy?

So I am on to another possible cure, using cholestyramine. My provider pointed me to chronicneurotoxins.com where the research of Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker lends information on the treatment as well as an online vision test for neurotoxins. A wide variety of chronically-ill patients have tested positive and been succesfully treated for neurotoxicity. I took the online test and tested positive. So I am taking cholestyramine now. I have never seen such fast results from a test I could pay for and take online. It seems to good to be true, but I will give it another try. Hope springs eternal! 

I had been following the herbal detoxification I bought last week, and for the third time I was violently ill from the attempt. So I had just been wondering if the medical community had come up with SOMETHING to detoxify the body, when I heard from my provider about this drug. Cholestyramine causes the bile acids to be excreted rather than circulated back to the liver for remanufacturing bile. This is used on high-cholesterol patients primarily, but it also will remove neurotoxins. The candida still appears to be well under control. The burning feet are still a problem but I have developed a habit of using ice packs when in the car or sitting around the house to keep them cool. Finally, I have bought another foam pad--this time a memory-foam, from Walmart. I slept on it last night and was very pleased to find my gluts were much less achy through the night. Why didn't I buy it long ago? Money...

Our 24th anniversary

I have been using natural forms of the ISAC fibrin treatment, as described earlier on my blog: namely, blood thinning substances such as aspirin and grape seed extract, and lumbrokinase to break down the fibrin. I have not aggressively sought treatment with heparin, as it would require some travel on my part, as well as setting aside my family responsibilities, and that is a huge obstacle, given my condition. I wouldn’t expect the natural route to have very immediate effect, as it can take up to a year even with heparin. In the meantime I have been tested for and seem to be positive for two viruses: Epstein-Barr and HHV-6. They were antibody tests, and only indicate a history of infection. I would need to get tested again to try to determine if the infections are still active. In addition, Dr. Berg has emailed me saying my ISAC results indicate there is SOME live viruses present in my blood, and he suspected they were the two mentioned above. So I still need to confirm that is

Starting on ValCyte

I went to see my provider on Friday, armed with more research I found on HHV-6 and EBV. I discovered information on ValCyte (ganciclovir) which has shown positive results on CFS patients with both viruses in two studies by Jose Montoya of Stanford University. To my surprise, Mary Lou had heard of ValCyte and had prescribed it once before but it was so expensive the patient opted not to take it. I am soooo grateful that God has provided John with a teaching job that gives us good insurance. It will cost around $13,000 for the six-month course of this drug, but I will only pay $2800. God is so good! The book "From Fatigued to Fantastic"  describes the protocol, and Mary Lou is following the book exactly. There is bloodwork to be done regularly to check for side effects. Now we wait, pray, and see. It can take four months before patients feel any better. The drug works to stop the viruses from replicating their DNA, thereby stopping reproduction, and they eventually die

"I'm on a new drug, one that won't make me itch..."

So I saw my N.P. last Thursday and she has taken a fairly new tack. She used to favor alternative therapies, but after being reviewed by the state authorities, I think she's gotten gun-shy and is following the mainstream protocols. She wanted me to try one of the three "new" drugs now FDA-approved for fibromyalgia. All of them, from what I can tell, are not much different from what I've tried through the years. They are all called anti-depressants "but not prescribed to me for depression" (I've heard this before!). The older drugs were called SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors). The new one I'm on, Sabella, is an SNRI (Serotonin and Norepinephrin Reuptake Inhibitor. This is based on the theory that FMS is caused by a chemical imbalance in the Central Nervous System, or brain. She said it increases dopamine in the brain. I am skeptical that it will help, but I'll give it a month. I have to titrate to the therapeutic level, and if I go
