As I write this today I am not fully recovered but will try my best to convey what my latest experience involved. Am writing this with my right eye closed as a matter of fact. So anyway ... what I want to write about in my blog today is reflective of years of chronic illness that I merely pushed off as hormonal induced migraines that we women had to bear in life. Of course ... I think I know better now. Not that hormones cannot play a role in this illness but that I know the true instigator I believe.

We got our FIRi sauna set up last weekend and I have been eagerly but cautiously using it for 10 min. at the start of my day after drinking water to hydrate first thing. Probably the most interesting result thus far is it restarted the eye burning, sneezing, bronchial irritation with resulting cough. These are all at minor degrees but nevertheless it is a direct response to using the sauna I believe as nothing else has changed in  my environment. The heat from the sauna feels soothing on my sore back and shoulders but causes some itching and then later in the day they ache again especially at night. But less so than on the MPi and prior to starting the NACi, supplementsi, etc.

An exaggerated inflammationi response seems to be one of the hallmarks of a chronic Cpni infection. I know when I get a cut, the area becomes red around it more than it used to. This seems indicative of an overall hyperactive inflammatory response. This was an interesting take on exercise reducing inflammation and helping wound healing: http://www.news.uiuc.edu/NEWS/07/1128wound.html It would seem that those of use fighting inflammation would benefit from some level of activity. Raven CAPi since 8-05 for Cpn and Mycoplasma P. for MS and/or CFSi

I would sure appreciate it if anybody out there further along into treatment could give me some rational for my oddly timed symptoms and inflammationi.  I’m excessively and unusually miserable (flu like) all of a sudden after several months of no symptoms.  I finally am assuming  die off but confused why now suddenly out of the blue, and why so much inflammation?  Is there anything I should or can do about the inflammation?  Why are there red inflamed areas at my temples? I've been on doxyi and 250 mg Biaxin 2

I backslided a little on my diet today and ate 4 double cheeseburgers at mcdonalds. Im sure the cpni is having a field day with that one.

I have been monitored for microscopic blood in my urine since early 2000. The doctor I was treating with back home always seemed to believe it was due to celiac/gluten intolerance as we could never find anything conclusive.... hmmm.. cpni???

I am now out of state with a urologist who has been treating me for 4 years.  Every time I have had an appointment there has been blood in my urine.  

 I just came from a visit with her (my urologist).... all has been tested (cystoscopy, kidney x-rays, urine cytology). Today, I pushed her for a "what are we going to do or conclude" about this?  The only confirmation that we have is that:

1) there are no cancerous or squamous cells; (which is great)  and,

Plant Flavonoid In Celery And Green Peppers Found To Reduce Inflammatory Response In The Brain

At least I like celery. Can't bear green peppers, though. Bell peppers, anyway -- jalapeno, now, that's a different story.

Anyway, they combat the inflammationi brought on by LPS in the brain.

Hi there again,

 

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this post.

I was not able to locate information referencing contraindications to my Rx topicals.

Please pardon me if this is covered elsewhere.

I'll start with a bit about where I'm at and have been.

Mental

I'm a graphic designer who works from home. I have a happy homelife and a positive worklife. I believe that i am a healthy person, I just do not physically feel like one. I have long suspected that everything I experience is tied together, so am really happy to see this Web site. I want to live my life again: I want to go outside into the sunshine; ride a bike; shop in a store!

Hi,

Hi All,

Thought others might find the following kind of interesting. It's an article discussing the difference between Apoptosisi, Greek for "to drop gently" and what these researchers call "Pyroptosis," Greek for "going down in flames".

 

First an easy to read news item on this:

How Do Infections And Toxins Launch A Cell's Self-destruct And Alarm System?

Then an actual article:

Apoptosis, Pyroptosis, and Necrosis: Mechanistic Description of Dead and Dying Eukaryotic Cells

 

I asked Dr. Powell to comment directly on concerns that have been mentioned over time as to whether he uses the CAPi with his new patients. I received his response a number of weeks ago but have had no time to put it together in a cogent context. But continued posts on these questions has mobilized me to get his comments to our readers here. But context is, as we say, everything.
