MRI taken May 1st 2007, 3 hours on my back, results May 10, 2007, with Neuro
i are 1 year later since MS
i diagnosis. Results are consistent with past 3 MRI's since starting the CAP
i treatment. All lesions stopped in tracks, still, meaning no new lesions or enhancements and the neck lesion on spinal cord is smaller and on the mend. The numbness left to just my hands is only a light fuzziness and is slowly abating as caused by the neck lesion. There are times of the day when I feel no numbness and the duration is increasing.
Still no classification of MS by Neuro but in our judgement, I was Secondary Progressive MS when this hit me April 2006. What would he call it now? May never know but he is very interested in my results and the ABC News Primetime special we were interviewed for - air date yet unknown. Waiting to hear from executive producer. All the neuros at the clinic are "very interested." Also know that many docs at University of Chicago Hospital are very interested in the results and the special.
MRI results show certain validation that the CAP treatment is right on the mark and has brought me back to normal living. I'm still herxing regularly but not intense like before and rest when I need to but back to painting our house, playing with our daughter, working on my '59 MGA, cooking, helping where I can, mowing the lawn, etc.. Mentally and physically I am graced with normalcy of life. My new GP called me the Phoenix risen from the ashes......I certainly concur.
I wish everyone the best and keep pushing through this! Best Regards, Karl and Alyson

Excellent news, Karl, and I
Excellent news, Karl, and I am so pleased that the medics are interested. I had a long discussion with an influential microbiologist last week, and carefully went through the evidence of a connection between not only MSi but atherosclerosis and C. pneumoniae (many of the biochemical disturbances are similar.) He literally had an 'A-HA' moment - as I did myself on reading Dr Stratton and Dr Mitchell's patent in 2003.

Hello everyone,I am new to
Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum but very old to the symptoms of this insidious disorder. I have had major problems now for eleven years and minor symptoms since 1985. I see various protocolsi for cpni. What is the latest recommended group of meds? I will have to do this on my own. Numerous doctors have humiliated me , thus, I am going independent in order to save me and my family. I have a lot to share about the white spot theory.
Welcome, cure4all,From your
Welcome, cure4all,
From your post, it appears you have the most important combination of attributes that it takes to do this. My hope for all of us is that the way will be made a little easier by the brave physician (I have one of those) who sees the good that we are doing for ourselves, and against the tide. We are the ones who are doing the voluntary suffering required for this with so many symptoms untreated for so long. We are gaining. You will, too.
<> Sorry, Karl
<>I have a terrible habit of usurping a thread in my haste to welcome a new member! Your results are wonderful; I believe we will have to form the "Better MRI" club!

Thanks for responding,
Thanks for responding, Katman. I do need encouragement as I have been drifting at sea solo for a while now with major interuptions to my life. I have no real regrets b/c I am still here and feel on the beginning of great new breakthroughs in the human health system. I do believe that mainstream doctors will be forced to acknowledge and treat this malady in the very near future or law suits could result. The Hypocratic oath requires that treatment be administered rather than ignored or dismissed. That said, I am looking forward to corresponding with others who are on this journey of iscovery and healing with me! Cheers!

Wow,
That's great news! 'A phoneix from the ashes.' I love that.
I sure hope they don't start labelling you as a 'spontaneuos remission'. You have worked so hard for every gain you have made.
Onwards and upwards.
