1 year since diagnosis and a lot of hope.... here's what is working for me :)

Great story.
One question. Did you get the SHOT?
You selection of supplement is almost perfect.
I would add:
Sperimine from wheat germ, brown rice or sourgum.
In creases the life of cells.
HMB: helps the conversion of fat to muscle including heart.
PEA: Maintains neurological health.

It's not because your ears are specifically subject to viruses. Here is why.
The pathway for a virus that enters the nasal cavity is: Rest, relax and
grow a colony. When the colon get large enough it become an irritant. Detected
by specialized cells that secreat histimine. The histamine is the messenger to other
cells and your pituitar gland that there has been an invasion. The pituitary react by
telling the hypothalamus to raise your body temperature. (Another whole story).
Because your sinuses are near your eustacian tube, A direct connection to your inner
ear, the histamine will inflame surrounds cells. So it is not the virus per se, that
is causing the inflamation. That part one.
Part two is what happens when your immunogloblins ( igG and IgM) bind to the virus.
The form a complex . This complex is a irritant and the local cells send out the same signal
as if the cause was live. Histamine. So until you body has cleaned up the debris you nose will run.
Bottom line, using natual anti inflamatorys throughout the process will help to ameliorate
your symptoms.
Note: With viral infections the damge is done by you own body.
Hope I wasn't too wordy.

That's interesting, because my nose is often runny too.

What do you recommend?

 

If one has an illness, the first step to relief is understanding what causes the illness.
So here is a way to watch your immune system work.
Take you temperature, infraredis best, a number of times to establish a normal. Around
97.?F.
First you need some forign antigen. Meet with friends from out of town, go to an
indoor theater. The following day, about 24 hrs later you will feel a chill. Maybe only once.
Take your temperature it will probably be below your normal. Take your temperature about every 15 minutes
it will climb to about 98.6F. And return to your normal and a bit below then back to your normal.
What you witnessed was you immune system being temporally being activated. As stage one defense
which could be cytokines or even IgM.
At this point there may even be enough stimuli to trigger histamine and you may cough, sneeze of
have a temporary runny nose.
If any of these symptoms bother you, take 500 mg L-arginine (amino acid) they will usually stop in
5-10 minutes.
For reduction of daily inflammation I suggest Flax seed oil, prime rose oil 2 to1.
And P.E.A (Palmitoyethanolamide) 600mg x 2 day.
Any question ask.

Many thanks for your tips. What do I do with the mixed oils?

 

Hi FloridaKatie and thank you for sharing your experience. I've had a similar experience and thank to John's regiment, I have gotten amazingly better. I was wondering what dosage of Valacyclovir BID do you take and how often? Can you share any foresight into what you learned out of your from the Tampa Bay clinic that could further help me and others? It would be much appreciated. Thank you

sss

 

Many thanks for your tips. What do I do with the mixed oils?[/QUOTE]
Let me preface my reply by saying I am a retired medical researcher.
I have a lab in my house and I study how to reverse aging.
My suggestions are based on oral administration of natural amino acids and
fatty acids. Though we do use oral administration of some, the targeted ones are
administered transdermally. So my suggestions are based on my understanding
of the immune system.
My suggestion of flax seed oil is because of it's fatty acid content and it use for many different
problems, even spinal disk. Contains: Alpha linolenic acid (ALA),linoleic acid,Oleic, Palmitic acid
and Stearic acid. Most are directly anti-inflammatory some are metabolized to anti-inflammatory
product.
Primrose oil: Linoleic acid and Gamma-Linolenic acid.
To do a follow up. Use Brave search engine. Enter : effects of ( the fatty acid )
Another note. To enhanse the effect of the fatty acid take 500mg L-Arginine to
dilate the small arteries and allow more anti-inflammatory fatty acids to reach their target.
Take fatty acids, like Calcium , on an empty stomach.
Hope this helped.

 

You had mentioned that you had recurrent herpes. ( what Valacyclovir is for.)
Recurrent viral infections fall into 2 major groups. Infectious and auto immune.
With herpes it can be either. Active infections would be with a defect in your immune
system. In that your body does not have an early recognition system in place.
Although I dislike AI here is a link that might help.Amino Acids and Herpes. Also, With certain reservations)
raising your bodty temperature to 37c will help in most infectious situations.
If, on the otherhand, it is an autoimmune and your body only harbours ithe virus
when you reinfect, the anti-inflammators are the course of action.
Glad your doing better.

 

Thank you for your response and the valuable links you provided. Wish & pray for your continued good health and much joy and happiness.

 

And thank you for your links. The rupturing of the membrane answered a question that I had.
Story: This past summer I began to have the last two symptoms of Meniere's disease.
Along with tightness in the back of the neck I developed blurred and double vision and
the vertigo. I could not drive. I used a cream I make on the neck and it helped.
I research aging and incurable and idiopathic diseases. And I ran across Meniere's disease.
It matched my symptoms perferctly. My hearing has slowly beed declining over the last
6 years I have been tracking it. I when to get fitted for hearing aids. The tech placed
one hearing aid in my left ear, thay was fine. But when she placed the aid in my right ear
something un expected happened. There was pain and my inner ear began to itch terribly.
The tech could could not explain it. On the way home I knew was had happened ( though not
the specifics, Till now. The pain was because something moved. the Itch was because of an allergic reaction..
The next morning I made one of my transdermal lotions. it has anti-inflammatory fatty acids that are active
again autoimmune problems. Except this time I added L-arginine to dilate the arteries leadind to the inner
ear. I applied a few drops to the area of the submaxillary gland and to the biforcation of the caroid.
Within minues all symptoms were gone.
Since the I have found that the lotion has a lowering effect on blood pressure And may
have a beneficial effect on a idiopathic retial disease. It's by the grace of God that I knew what to do.
I treated the disease as if it was an autoimmune and it responded.
I know a lot about allergies and immunology. I am allergic to my house.
Thanks again for the piece of the puzzle.

Thank you very much for your additions. I have now started with the linseed oil and the PEA. Unfortunately, primrose oil is not so easy to get here. I have also reduced the foods with a lot of histamine. Let's see if anything changes.
Thanks again for your tip.

Flax seed oil. Not linseed oil ( unless you want to finish wood.) Super primrose from NOW (1300 mg).
Search : effects of taurine on BRAVE AI.
Note to anyone who wonders what I do: I study how to reverse aging. And auto immune disease is part of it.
Note on L-Arginine: It can be used for quick on set of sneezing, cough or broncial spasm.
Any questions, ask. At my age knowledge is free.

Sorry, I meant Flax seed oil.
Then I will now look where I can buy Super primrose from NOW (1300 mg).
Thanks again

 

Stemcell 1, so are you recommending this as a daily dose to keep things at bay or when you feel a flair up? Also, is the L-Arginine considered a daily dose or just for flair ups? I am trying to read between the lines on your posts, but I don’t think I fully understood. I figured better to just directly ask instead of just make assumptions. (And if you ask my wife my assumptions are always wrong ). I do greatly appreciate your willingness to share here. This forum is amazing and packed with great stories and info.

 

I use it as needed. Arerobic exercise, sneezing fit, coughing spell etc. My wife uses it daily for blood pressure
control and brocial spasms. It it also a mild diuretic.
Flax seed and primrose are most effect for interstinal inflammation. I.E. transient diverticulosis.
P.E.A is a naturally occuring fatty acid who's main job is protecting nerves.
Here is a AI for L-arginine. I normally don't trust AI, but this is pretty good.

L-Arginine Effects
L-arginine is an amino acid that plays a key role in various bodily functions, primarily by serving as a precursor for nitric oxide (NO), a molecule that helps blood vessels relax and improves circulation. This vasodilatory effect is linked to several potential health benefits, including improved blood flow, which may help reduce symptoms of angina, lower blood pressure (particularly in hypertensive adults and pregnant women with gestational hypertension), and improve outcomes in peripheral arterial disease. It is also used to support erectile function by enhancing penile blood flow, and may aid in wound healing, immune function, and muscle recovery due to its role in protein synthesis and hormone secretion. While generally considered safe, potential side effects include gastrointestinal issues like nausea and diarrhea, and it may worsen asthma or trigger herpes outbreaks; it can also interact with medications for blood pressure, diabetes, and erectile dysfunction, so medical consultation is advised before use.
