ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Dermatomyositis has been described in the
setting of lyme infection in only nine previous case reports.
Although lyme disease is known to induce typical clinical
findings that are observed in various collagen vascular diseases,
to our knowledge, we believe that our case is the first
presentation of acute lyme disease associated with amyopathic
dermatomyositis, which was then followed by severe and fatal
interstitial pulmonary fibrosis only two months later.
CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of a 64-year-old
African-American man with multiple medical problems who was
diagnosed with acute lyme infection after presenting with the
pathognomonic rash and confirmatory serology. In spite of
appropriate antimicrobial therapy for lyme infection, he
developed unexpected amyopathic dermatomyositis and then
interstitial lung disease.

Excerpt:

Sauna therapy has been used to treat a number of different diseases known or thought to have a tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiency. It has been interpreted to act in multiple chemical sensitivity by increasing chemical detoxification and excretion but there is no evidence that this is its main mode of action. Sauna therapy may act to increase BH4 availability via two distinct pathways. Increased blood flow in heated surface tissues leads to increased vascular shear stress, inducing increased activity of GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH-I) in those vascular tissues which will lead to increasing BH4 synthesis. A second mechanism involves the heat shock protein Hsp90, which is induced by even modest heating of mammalian tissues. Sauna heating of these surface tissues may act via Hsp90, which interacts with the GTPCH-I complex and is reported to produce increased GTPCH-I activity by lowering its degradation. The increased consequent availability of BH4 may lead to lowered nitric oxide synthase uncoupling, such as has been reported for the eNOS enzyme. Increased BH4 synthesis in surface tissues of the body will produce increased circulating BH4 which will feed BH4 to other body tissues that may have been BH4 deficient. Similar mechanisms may act in vigorous exercise due to the increased blood shear stresses and possibly also heating of the exercising tissues and heart.

More proof that autoimmune disease patients have chronic infections that are not widely recognized; this time we are talking about TB!

Excerpt:

Screening for active tuberculosis (TB) and latent TB infection (LTBI) is mandatory prior to the initiation of tumour necrosis factor-  inhibitor therapy. However, no agreement exists on the best strategy for detecting LTBI in this population. The aim of the present study was to analyse the performance of the tuberculin skin test (TST) and QuantiFERON®-TB Gold in-tube (QFT-GIT) on LTBI detection in subjects with immunomediated inflammatory diseases (IMID).

The TST and QFT-GIT were prospectively performed in 398 consecutive IMID subjects, 310 (78%) on immunosuppressive therapy and only 16 (4%) had been bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccinated.

Indeterminate results to QFT-GIT were found in five (1.2%) subjects. Overall, 74 (19%) out of 393 subjects were TST-positive and 52 (13%) were QFT-GIT-positive. Concordance between TST and QFT-GIT results was good (87.7%): 13 were QFT-GIT-positive/TST-negative and 35 QFT-GIT-negative/TST-positive. By multivariate analysis both tests were significantly associated with older age. Only the TST was associated with BCG vaccination and radiological lesions of past TB. Use of immunosuppressive drugs differently modulated QFT-GIT or TST scoring.

Linda’s comments:  I made these wraps and all I can say is yummmmmy..

Raw Wraps

2 cups flax seeds, ground in a coffee grinder not used for coffee
1 cup almonds, ground finely in a food processor
1 carrot, grated
2 zucchini, grated
1 tsp. garlic powder
Sea salt or Herbamare to taste
1 Tbsp. dried basil
1 green onion, chopped
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, soaked for 1 hour or so
1/2 cup water

Place all ingredients in a food processor and mix until well combined.  Using a spatula or a spoon, spread the mixture onto a Teflex dehydrator sheets, making a 6-7 inch circles, 1/4 inch thick.  Dehydrate for 4-6 hours at 100 degrees or until they are able to be turned over.  Flip them over onto mesh dehydrator sheets and continue to dry until the are dry but still flexible.    Makes 8 wraps.

Linda’s comments:  I love Quinoa….great with all meats….

Quinoa

2 cups quinoa, soaked in filtered water overnight
1 bunch of organic green onions, chopped
2 Tbsp. olive oil
½ tsp. sea salt
3 cloves of organic garlic, mashed
3-4 cups organic beef,organic chicken, or organic turkey stock

Rinse and drain quinoa very well. In a large skillet, saute the onions in the oil for a few minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Add the quinoa and the stock (the stock should just cover all of the quinoa) salt, and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and cover and let simmer for 25-30 minutes on very low heat.

Raw Chocolate Ice Cream

4 Tbsp. raw chocolate powder
14 medjool dates, pitted
1 1/2-2 cups water

aspartame not only can precipitate diabetes but it simulates and
aggravates diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy, destroys the optic
nerve, causes diabetics to go into convulsions, interacts with
insulin and the free methyl alcohol causes them to lose limbs.

Excerpt:

(IRVINE, CA) – I don’t believe in ghosts. If I ran into one or two, maybe I’d change my mind.  The stories of lights in the former Marine Corps Air Stations El Toro’s control tower when the power was cut off in July 1999 may be just someone’s wild imagination or I guess if you believe in paranormal activity, maybe the ghosts of Marines who served on the base and returned to haunt the place.  No question there’s good reasons for haunting the old base.  

At night, the former base takes on the appearance of a ghost town.  With the power to buildings cut off and hundreds of dilapidated buildings still standing, moonlight can play tricks on your mind.  Shadows move or seem to move and it doesn’t take too long before normally rational  people see things that are not there.

Dr. Arpad Pusztai was an enthusiastic supporter of genetic engineering working on cutting edge safety research, until he discovered the dangerous truth exactly twelve years ago. In Part 1, Jeffrey Smith recounts his dramatic story and why we all owe Dr. Pusztai a debt of gratitude.

Exposing Biotech Propaganda

And don’t miss Part 2, where Jeffrey responds point-by-point to the biotech industry’s spin of the Pusztai affair, which is still being hyped in their new attack website. This is the first in a series of rebuttals to the website’s attack of Genetic Roulette (as promised).
