I have never had high titers to ANA or anything else. My western blot was positive for #41.
My mother had Lupus markers. Dr Fry has found a protozoa in ALL of his Lupus, RA, Fibro, CFS and Gulf War Syndrome patients.
The reason I am posting is because www.frylabs.com , which is ran by Dr Fry is really onto something big. They are publishing papers next month and the CDC has recognized this organism as pathogenic. It has DNA of Toxoplasmosis and Malaria. That is why the plaquenil you take helps...but no cure. It has a biofilm called a "merot" that harbors several other pathogenic bacteria and one other protozoa. They are so busy, they do not have time to look at the second protozoa.
I am just trying to spread the word...that there may be cure on the horizon. All of our pain is caused by "infection". There will be animal testing within the next 5-6 months to infect and find drugs to eradicate this organism. If that doesnt work...new drugs will be made to kill it. Auto-immune, in general terms, is the body attacking itself....specifically an unidentified "antigen". The body will not attack itself unless there is an invader. For example...allergies..the body attacks the allergen. What makes me so upset is this....we have chronic pain and inflammation from a cause that is unknown. So...the doctors and medical society call it "auto-immune disorder". Our bodies just basically kill themselves for no aparent reason. How arrogant can the medical society be to think we are all that stupid and that someone will one day find a "reason" and a "cause" to this madness.
I will leave you with this. Dr Fry has dedicated his life to a "cure". Tell me any other doctor in the autoimmune field that has dedicated their life to this. He has turned me around and is helping tens of thousands, because his testing is the gold standard for chronic infectious disease. He has found and cultured and grew one of the single most important creatures of this century. He has 2 scientists who are full time working on this and know that their ticket will be written once the organism is finally recognized. I am writing there is hope...not in controlling symptoms, but a cure in the near future.
