Hi Roze,
Thanks. I have Jim's latest book and will read the section on ARVs again. Don't know why I was thinking that the MMS would neutralize the toxicity but the ARVs would still work.
Like I said in another post....must be my denial.
When I got sick in 2009, not on ARVs for 18 months at that point, my VL was 250,000 and the doctors almost crapped their pants. A tremendous amount of DRAMA from all of them! Never seen the likes of. Obviously it almost scared me to death.
Here is what happened. Stopped the drugs in the summer of 2007 after my ID doc gave up his practice and I got a new doctor, who I didn't really care for. She was stubborn and didn't want to discuss anything other than taking the meds. I felt great until Dec. of 2008, at which time, I began getting headaches. They continuously got more severe, accompanied by dizziness and eventually vomiting a lot. Couldn't keep anything down. After 7 or 8 days of being bedridden with those symptoms, I called an ambulance and was admitted to the hospital for 10 days.
The docs, including my original ID physician, came in to treat me. They did two cat scans, an MRI, and tried to perform a spinal tap, which was unsuccessful. My brain was so swollen that they couldn't get any spinal fluid out to test for what they thought was Toxoplasmosis. I was told that the only way to diagnose Toxoplasmosis was to do a spinal tap OR a brain biopsy...which neither they nor I wanted to do.
So, they did another cat scan, this one on my stomach, and discovered what they determined to be damage in my gut from previous episode of Toxoplasmosis. I had never been diagnosed with Toxo. I believe that they just basically made that diagnosis because they didn't know how to treat my condition, which they were adamant was caused by my not taking the ARVs.
I was told that if I didn't go back on the ARVs, there was no use in trying to treat the 'condition' because it would just come back. Toxoplasmosis, according to their knowledge, or lack thereof, never leaves the body and cannot be cured. It lies dormant like shingles and flares up if one's immune system is compromised, as it is with HIV.
So, scared that I would die as they told me that if I didn't get their recommended treatment, I should check out of the hospital and go to hospice to die. Can you believe that? Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath? They definitely can not call themselves healers anymore. They seem to disregard the psychosomatic
effect on health all together. I know that they were just trying to scare me into going back on their poisons. Well it worked.
I went back on the ARVs, Isentress and Trizivir...along with about 13 other drugs, including a malarial drug called Clindamyacin, a very toxic antibiotic. Most of the other ones were to protect my body from that one. I was also put on steroids and a prescription to help with the nausea. It basically was chemo, as are the ARVs. So, for about 9 months, which also included being on Coumadin because I got pulmonary embolism from being in the hospital on my back for 10 days, I was taking a lot of toxic poisons. It was a very difficult time in my life. That entire year sucked!
I healed completely as far as I can tell, other than still having HIV. VL is undetectable, CD4 has gone up to the mid 400's but is currently 275 with last test in October-before I began the p1000.
The only issues that I have been dealing with are adverse reactions to the ARVs. Mostly stomach problems (swollen spleen, severe bloating, constipation), muscle loss.
I am thinking that I am going to have to go off the ARVs now if not soon. They continue to poison me and are doing nothing. I was basically continuing them because I was resisting having to explain to my doctor and go through all that DRAMA again. It's painful, but I do realize that it is my decision. Hopefully he will be in agreement to order lab work for me occasionally, if nothing else. At least until the lab results look good enough to convince him that MMS and other things that I am doing are working.
Sorry for the long note. Appreciate your asking and for what it's worth, hope it will help somehow with others. Dance well!
