hi all,
an update from the person who started this thread:
- i am still doing subq shots of micro doses of gg (Gamunex-C). i do about 2 cc's (which is 2/10th of a gram of gamma globulin) every few days. recently i was able to up it to 3 cc's at one time, or do the 2 cc's more frequently without bad effects.
- i re-introduced antiviral meds (famvir) last week and within a few days had a ton of energy. this happened before when i was on famvir, but the energy only lasted 1.5 months. we shall see what happens now. as some of you know, the whole point of my gamma globulin experiment was to do gamma globulin PLUS antivirals. so i am finally doing that. history: i was on the famvir for 10 months before i took a break from it about 2.5 months ago. so i have been on gamma globulin without famvir for about 2.5 months, and now just added back in the famvir with results that are very very positive.
- so, yes, i'm doing really really really well! i was able to walk 10 minutes yesterday and 20 minutes today. it has been years since i could do that. i can walk up the stairs without stopping. i went out during the day last weekend, and then was able to also go out at night. all in one day. many days i can't even go out once in the day. and very rarely can i go out at night, period.
- i am also doing some weight lifting: small 3 pound weights that are strapped to my wrists. that also says a lot about my strength coming back.
- also, i had a lot of GcMAF frozen in my freezer from my visit to dr. KDM about 3 yrs ago. (i think it is good in the freezer for 5 yrs.) i had a good response to GcMAF years ago, but stopped it due to intense hair loss. i now think that hair loss could have been from peri-menopause instead of GcMAF. so i finally re-introduced the GcMAF 3 days ago (ultra micro doses!!) after a number of years break from it. and so far i am not worse from re-starting GcMAF, and i think i am even doing better. (but it could just be from the famvir!)
- i also added in 1/4 tablet of the supplement Folapro, a Metagenics product (
http://www.metagenics.com/mp/products/folapro), as per Rich Van K's simplified methylation protocol. Folapro is made of L-5-Methyltetrahydrofolate. this has helped me in the past, when i was on Rich Van K's protocol. i stopped his protocol when i became suddenly hyper-reactive to all supplements and had to stop everything, a few years ago. well, now i have re-introduced it into my treatment regime.
- and i am on vinpocetine, too, which helps the brain. i'm on 5 mg 2x/day. (

- lastly, i have been doing some "brain re-wiring" called Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS:
http://www.dnrsystem.com/). it is annie hopper's program for chemical sensitivities, but also for ME/CFS and other "conditions" -- it is like the Gupta brain re-wiring some of you may have heard about. it is mostly about relaxing the hyperactive primitive part of your brain (called the limbic system). but it is more complex than just that.
so there you have it! again, these are the things i have added in recently that i now consider key to my current protocol and recent improvements:
- gamma globulin (been on for 3 months, micro doses)
- famvir (10 months, before gamma globulin, then stopped for 2.5 months, then restarted 8 days ago)
- vinpocetin (started 20 days ago)
- DNRS/annie hopper's program (started 2 wks ago)
- folapro (started 1.5 wks ago)
- gcmaf (only started 2-3 days ago)
and of course i'm also on all the other supplements i'm on all the time (and there are many).
things are going very well. time will tell what comes of all this.
