First of all, if this is considered OT, someone tell me and tell me how to
get to that link.
I am very unsure of what is considered OT, but since I see several things in
regard to chelation, lyme, etc., on the CS list, I have a question for
anyone willing to respond to this. I have late stage lymes, MS, brain
lesions, several diagnosed autoimmune disorders, IC, hypothyroidism, lupus,
vasculitis.
I was finally convinced to undergo very aggressive IV antibiotics for lymes
for ~ 2 years at a lyme's clinic in NC. Today my hemotoligist that has
followed me over the years, thinks giving me gamma globbulin, followed by a
chelation agent is neccessary and the folks with the lyme's protocol need to
address my serious allergy, blood clotting problems and repiratory problems
before shooting me full of antibiotics, yeast is also a big problem for me
under any circumstances.
I have become so hyperallergic that he feels the aggressive antibiotic
protocal would probably kill me. I am allergic to many antibiotics, latex
and have become super sensitive to environmental inhalents and many foods,
and some of the antibiotics on the lyme protocol are in the same basic
group that I am allergic to, just a couple of generations newer.
My hemotologist basically says if they kill me with herxing or respiratory
failure with too aggressive antibiotic treatment, the rest is history. His
plan is to boost the immune system with high doses of gamma globbulin,,
drive out the toxins with chelation and see what the best plan is from there
in treating the infections. I have tested positive for several heavy metals
and radioisotopes, I was exposed for many years to these substances in the
workplace. He thinks lymes and/ or whatever infections I have and
autoimmune problems will be more easily treated if he can get my immune
system back up and running.
If I knew more about CS, I could approach him with trying this. Does CS
help boost immune system or does it mainly fight infections? My
hemotologist says most people with autoimmune disorders have lots of
infections that are hard to prove with bloodwork whn the immune system is
failing. Fungal problems are also being address, does CS treat fungal
problems? What about adrenal burnout, will CS help this?
Thanks,
joni

Marshall, she actually ended up in the ICU with pneumonia. I'm guessing
there would have been "flu-like symptoms" leading up to that. The last time
I saw her before hospitalization was Mother's Day - then we left for a
vacation, and before we got to see her upon return, she was in ICU. I can't
answer about circles or hollow eyes. But, I will check.
While she had quit smoking years ago, she was a very heavy smoker for at
least 40 years. I'm guessing there was still a fairly heavy tox load from
that in her cells....
I sure wish I could find resources to research this better....

I don't think the chelation herbs, or whatever was used, tend to depress
the immune system directly. That is, if you have no heavy metals in the
body, then I don't think it would affect the immune system. However
chelation is a several step process, first is mobilization, then
elimination. During the mobilization phase, heavy metals that have been
put away become mobilized, and in the blood stream. This can, from my
experience, cause systematic distress, essentially a heavy metal herx
reaction until they are eliminated. That will, in my opinion, depress
the immune system until everything is eliminated. I offset this by
taking CS during the mineral cycle of the chelation. Also if the
mineral cycle is not preformed during the treatment, then there could be
consequences from loss of metals the body needs, such as calcium.
Did she get any flu like symptoms, or circles under the eyes, when doing
the chelation? If so then that is a sure sign of teh heavy metal
mobilization causing a herx like reaction.
