Well, my IgG/IgM titers seem to be pretty accurate. Varicella and CMV
fit a good number of symptoms. What bothers me are those chronic
infections I might have that aren't prompting an antibody response. I
suppose those require PCR. What we really need are shotgun chips that
look for thousands of antibodies and fragments of pathogen DNA/RNA at
once. With modern chip fabrication techniques, economies of scale could
churn them out pretty cheaply. Sadly, I'm not aware of any push in
microfluidics to put something like this on the market any time soon.
Having said that, I've got a definite viral problem. I've suspected
something like this for a long time, but with a condition this
complicated, I've had little other choice than peeling each layer of the
onion one at a time. The viruses are simply the most recent layer
that's stuck to the onion. I've done well on the chlorella and this
seems to indicate I didn't fully take care of the earliest, most obvious
layer - the mercury poisoning. There's not much recent in the pubmed
literature, but there are some intriguing abstracts on mercury, CMV and
chlorella (in fact, I'm surprised the NIH slipped up and let them
through). There seems to be a viscious cycle involving local mercury
deposits left over in my gut after detox (apparently the DMPS missed
them; low blood flow, maybe?), resistance to growth hormone in those
areas and viral infection [PMID 8931761, 8686573, 7526487, 8686573].
As far as traditional antiviral therapies go, I'm looking at Valcyte and
the other commercially available antiviral drugs, although I want to
avoid vaccines like Varivax or Zostavax. With all the problems I've had
with metal detoxification, I should steer clear of adjuvants like alum.
I'm beginning to reach the conclusion that the vaccine industry has its
head up my ass.
I'd like to know what pathways these antivirals trigger that lead to
organ damage and whether they are vital to the antiviral functions. If
not, I might be able to down/upregulate the relevant pathways to protect
myself from organ damage in advance. Ideally, I'd like to use these
antivirals all at once to prevent the evolution of resistant strains.
How advisable that is, I don't know. Whether or not I should
discontinue butyrate while doing this is still up in the air too. There
simply isn't any guidance for this.
This strategy may push me into the realm of immunologists who, I've been
warned, are as generally useless as neurologists on the whole. I'm
rather tired of mediocre physicians who look at a scientific model based
on a well-researched bibliography as another form of mental illness.
I have started taking Chlorella with a lot of good results. Chlorella
is not only an antiviral but also improves IL-10 synthesis and
rebalances the immune system. There's even a re****t of it directly
suppressing allergic IgE responses to caesin in milk. I'm also weighing
spirulina maxima, propolis, aspergillus, cillantro, mushroom extracts
and ecklonia cava. Clearly, I won't try all of them.
