I believe MS is an infection, period. Very possibly HHV-6 or chlamydia. Or is diagnosed as MS because many conditions can mimic MS. Either way, I still believe infection may be the root cause, maybe which has manifested itself many years after the initial infection. I'm interested in knowing if you received a polio shot prior to 1964? If you wish, email me and I'll give you a contact. One thing we must all understand is that there are literally thousands of pathogens for which they will never in anyone's lifetime be able to isolate. Plus, many are pleomorphic (protean) which makes the job of isolating them even harder. When the conventional medical folks say a condition is ideopathic or so-called auto-immune, what they are really saying is they simply don't know. It is my belief as time goes on, nearly all the devistating diseases will be linked to infection. There was a time when the consensus of the day was to scoff at the idea (Koch and Rife) that viruses cause cancer. Today there are five proven causations of cancer linked to viruses. Fungi, when it's better understood, will also be shown to be the cause of much illness (found in prostate cancer) as fungi release enormous amounts of toxins.....virii and bacteria being two of them. Mycoplasma has just become a hot topic in recent years. Remember also that it took 13 years (1996) before mainstream medicine accepted that stomach ulcers are caused by infection. Now there are over 20 known. Yet, in the 1940's there were doctors that knew what caused stomach ulcers, but were ignored. My point is, don't put all your eggs in one basket with respect to your doctor's dx. Do your own research and find a good physician that is not of the linear thinking cookie cutter variety. We had much experience with diabetes in my parents. My mother has been declared non-diabetic since January 1999. My father had it much worse, but we were able to all but eliminate his meds until his untimely death April 2001 due to a nosocomial infection while in the hospital. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marshalee Hallett To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 10:36 PM Subject: Re: CS>OT, diabetes and MS
Dear List, I`m finding out about diabetes and possible MS right now. Anyone out there have any words of knowledge for me?? Love, Marshalee PS, My GTT numbers were 90 FBS and 160 2 hours after the nasty sweet stuff... I`ll be having more blood work and possibly an MRI soon. Yuck I`d rather have stage 4 liver cancer than MS, much quicker...
