For those interested, I'm posting my dropbox link to Ebringer's paper on MS and an abbreviated excerpt from Dr. Max Garten's book '"Civilized" Diseases and Their Circumvention.'I did not want to start another forum, as this is not a topic we have enough familiarity with, but for some of us who have had this diagnosis due to using anti-tnf-a agents or otherwise friends who might have this condition. There is much more to say, but I have no more direct experience or knowledge than described in my meager contribution. HEALTH, John Multiple Sclerosis

DragonSlayer- I read the article again...
I have had so many cavities in my molars
repeated sinus infections
What I read seems to ring true.
As you know even a little starch throws me into flare.
Tell you wife hi!

I found the article (Multiple Sclerosis) to be incredibly interesting. I swear my brother got all the good enamel and I did not get much. I pay for extra health insurance just for additional dental coverage. I have also had sinus infections over the years. Thanks again!

Mercury toxcicity can cause symptoms of MS. The idea that Hg in the teeth provide a metal for biofilms to form in the head -- sinuses in particular -- is very plausible. And of course once those biofilms are established the biofilm has emergent properties that are more than the sum of its parts! For each person the microorganism that triggers the MS syndrome will be different. For a lady in John's article it appeared to be Acinetobacter calcoaceticusIn the case of the lady in this YouTube video it was Chlamydia pneumoniae https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpMvDe8-qsMAnd a given microorganism probably can cause different diseases in different people. I was talking to a third year medical student in the hallway a week ago and she was familiar with these ideas and says that they are taught in her classes. So, times are changing -- even here in China. There is hope! But the trick may be to not to see your old doctor that is only a few years from retirement and has no energy or motivation to be up-to-date, but see a young, energetic and (still) conscientious doctor that hasn't been out of school for more than five years.
HLA-B27 neg, vague AS symptoms in 20s and early 30s
1993:fibromyalgia (age 25)
2013.07:Reverse blockage in a SCUBA accident
2013.08:Scratched by a sick cat
2013.09:Strange sore throat then meningitis
2014:Chronic inflammation at the base of the skull
2014 to early 2015:excess NSAID use developed complete axial inflammation, included psoriasis
NSD helped well and but was not perfect
2018.07: weak +'ve tests for borrelia, babesia, bartonella and mycoplasma pneumonia using Armin Lab, ANA=equivocal

Yes very good advice when possible.

I'm so interested in the intersections between all of these autoimmune diseases - and also the intersections between how the various treatments works for several different illnesses. My sister is taking methotrexate again and it's helping her lupus more than the RA it was prescribed for.
ANA+ RF+ Rh- HLAB27+
Dx JRA 1967, GAD 1997, AS 2009, HMs 2010, CPS 2013
pulmonary edema w/ NSAIDS 2009
Movin' it so I don't lose it!
