This is interesting to me. As some of you know, my 80%

"recovery" coincided with giving up all medications, pills,

supplements. It's been a year+ since taking this step and I

continue to improve. So I'm not looking back. (And spending

seriously less money! [Smile]

)

That's what seems to work for me right now. I was as sick as

anyone here. (1995) I must say that my previous attempts at

stopping tx protocols always began a 3-6 month downward

spiral that ended in complete return of symptoms.

One positive (and $30/month saving) was finding that I could go

without the Renew Life Ultimate Flora probiotics that fixed my

mouth after dozens of others that helped minimally or not at all.

(Never tried Theralac.) I figured maybe I'd keep taking that one

pill (probiotic) because the broken mouth had become such a

part of life and didn't want to go back to that. (Psycological

dependency?) I was pretty sure the mouth symptoms would

return. Luckily, they haven't. How nice it is to have a healthy

mouth again! [kiss]

Happy Holidays!!! [hi]

Update 02/11/09: I'm completely sure had I been on abx at the

time described above, no one could've convinced me they hadn't

"cured' me. If the results were the same. The might not have

been as good. Or might have been better. (Full recovery instead

of 80%?)

This thread was originally posted also somewhat as a test.

To check the level of open, diverse discussion on this board.

Unfortunately, I expected no replies and was so vindicated.

This reflects weakness. Every sort of strength may be necessary

to achieve recovery. What was one of the most thought-

provoking posts of recent memory - and should have been

widely discussed - slipped away with no response. Why throw

more obstacles on your road to wellness?

Not that this happened in this case but, I find unwise the

practice of not responding just to bury an unpopular yet

reasonable thread. Grow up! (To quote our new President.)

I guarantee your LLMDs were thinking strongly about this when

the news was fresh. I suggest you bring it up with them. Any

competent LLMD would, of course, be aware of this research.

Where would your thoughts go with the info. What would you do

in light of the abx protocols being followed and the possible

implications therein?
