Several years ago this finance lawyer and mother of two was so debilitated both physically and mentally that she thought it unlikely that she’d live to see her children go to high school. Today, after five years on Autoimmunity Research Foundation’s Marshall Protocol, almost all of her symptoms have resolved and she has rejoined the world – picking up many of her old activities including tennis lessons. Meet JST.
During my teenage years but it took another twenty years or so before I was to become chronically ill and debilitated.
Describe the progression of your disease
While I was at high school I had odd bouts of ill health including chronic tonsillitis and sinusitis. In 1979, while at university, I suffered an episode of sudden fatigue and paralysis in both legs which disabled me for about three weeks. I was not seen by a specialist and it was concluded that I was suffering from “hysteria.”
What’s the latest news among people taking statins, or drugs that are marketed as cholesterol lowering agents? Pfizer Inc.’s Lipitor, the world’s best-selling statin, with revenues of $12.6 billion in 2007, causes some women to experience what researchers are referring to as serious cognitive side effects, reports reports The Wall Street Journal.
“This drug makes women stupid,” Orli Etingin, vice chairman of medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, declared at a recent luncheon discussion sponsored by Project A.L.S. to raise awareness of gender issues and the brain. Dr. Etingin, who is also founder and director of the Iris Cantor Women’s Health Center in New York, told those present about a typical patient in her 40s, who after taking Lipitor was unable to concentrate or recall words. Tests found nothing amiss, but when the woman stopped taking Lipitor, the symptoms vanished. When she resumed taking Lipitor, they returned.
Lost your keys again? Recent research confirms that whether or not you have been diagnosed with dementia you can probably blame L-form bacteria for your substandard memory. Researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago who conduced a recent study on aging and memory were surprised to find that most older adults have significant brain pathology (disease), regardless of the presence or absence of outward signs of dementia.
The results of this study jive with the work of researchers such as Dr. Trevor Marshall who, while investigating the manner in which L-form bacteria affect people as age, have found that few, if any, people are spared from the actions of these pathogens as they reach their later years.
