I remember reading that somewhere.

Maybe that's why my neck hurts less when I move it to the extreme right or left?

hmmmmmmmmm.

That I don't know about but do know when I took Doxy I felt very little pain.

Maybe your on to something.

Yes, to a degree. The documentation is buried in my files somewhere, but I too remember reading it. Abx. create an acidic environment. TNF alpha is alkaline. Alpha in Greek means positive, beta is negative.

We (and the bugs) are very "electromagnetic". Usually a lot of neg. charges (EFAs react with a little mineral to make hydrogen).

CoQ10, which we make when we exercise carries the hydrogen INTO the cells. 2 hydrogens combine with 2 damaging free oxygen radicals to make H2O2 inside our cells. H2O2 is capable of knocking off many pathogens....various shapes and sizes.

Now you know why "they" say to exercise to stay healthy.

P.S. My New Years resolution is to get a hard copy of all my MS word files printed out and organized. Then...put it in more logical order so more will understand.

Marnie,

Wasn't that your resolution last year?

Just kidding.

One day I hope to be able to make my brain work like yours.

The files grow faster than I can organize them.

Im on an email list from Web MD (they provide the latest research, carefully chosen ;-) and am constantly researching.

Now..."our normal flora help prevent asthma".

Yea...NO KIDDING!

DUH!

Mg is used as a last resort to fight status asthmaticus...and almost always works.

Now...

"LOW stomach acids REDUCE the levels of BENEFICIAL BACTERIA which is needed for the ABSORPTION of MAGNESIUM."
http://www.ctds.info/5_13-magnesium.html

It would follow that HIGH stomach acids would help to maintain the level of beneficial bacteria.

I was recently told by doc that kids with autism produce too much stomach acid.

Why do they?

Yea...the body is trying to find a way to keep as much Mg in the system as possible. Likely to fight an underlying INFECTION!

I found doxycycline to have exceptional anti-inflammatory properties when I took it last year.

Hi Eyal,

I was just at my LL/FNP (ILADS member) and she said that Minocycline is "mildly anti-inflammatory." I've only started Mino, but no pain -----totally shocked about that. So far, just weakness.

Marnie - love reading your hard work. I didn't learn for years that Mg would have helped my (now grown) son with chronic asthmatic bronchitis & LD.

He started having asthma at age 2 taking updraft treatments. I should have been making sure all along that he was taking sufficient Mg.

Kaos ----- that's good to know about Doxy.

Take Care,
Jan
