A very cheap Ampligen,
faith.hope.love, Thanks for starting one of the more fasacinating threads I've read. And I did read it, all of it at one sitting so I'm pretty well zombified right now.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
This is how I understand things, and please correct me if I'm wrong. With CFS/ME we have overactive immune systems, a mirror image to AIDS. Those patients have an underactive immune system, succomb to disease and die. We, however, just get miserably sick because all bodily systems go out of kilter once that immune system is revved up. The immune system gets into trouble from many sources such as viruses and toxins just to name a few. (See Dr. Bell's book.)
I don't catch colds, the flu, and other smaller bugs. I asked my CFS specialist why, and he said because your overactive immune system is chewing them up and spitting them out. I do, however, have low normal Killer T cells. My specialist said those are the big guns for the really nasty diseases such as cancer. I've had cancer.
I don't know what kind of viruses might be lurking in my body because I've never been tested. I don't have GERD, or indigestion. The only other problem I have, other than ME/CFS and the myriad of symptoms that causes, is arthritis. However, when Goldstein suggests something, I take notice. If Tagamet does indeed modulate the immune system, it is certainly a very, very cheap Ampligen.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I will certainly give this one a try after I consult my physician. To everyone who has posted, thank you so much. Those who are on a Tagamet trial, I hope you continue to improve. faith.hope.love, best wishes for a speedy recovery and a real chance at that job. I'm rootin for you, gal.:victory:
