help.. My mother has autoimmune, how can we treat her she's now in the hospital and I want her to recover and be cured. What possible food or treatment could help her? Autoimmune diseases aren't cured, but they can be controlled. Probably the best thing you can do is restrain yourself from trying oddball "alternative medicine" quackery and work with her and her doctor. It depends on the type of autoimmune condition. But generally speaking, immune suppressants are used to treat autoimmune conditions. The medication would suppress the harmful immune reaction. autoimmune disease is a general term and covers a wide variety of diseases from rheumatic heart disease (which has an autoimmune component) to hepatitis B (which can have autoimmune complications) to the usual autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
hence treatment also varies. it can range from symptomatic treatment (sunscreen for photosensitivity of SLE or NSAIDs for joint pains) to corticosteroids (both oral and IV), to immunosuppressive drugs like methotrexate and cyclophosphamide to biologic immunosuppressants like rituximab (antibodies against lympocytes)
the best thing to do is to have a sit down conference with your physician to discuss the best treatment regimen for your mother, including costs, adverse reactions, duration of treatment and alternatives in case the primary treatment fails or becomes less effective.
also, do not resort to alternative medications like herbal preparations which can interact with the your mother's medications and possibly have worse adverse effects Here is a copy and paste on communication with someone asking me about certain food componants and if you read it carefully, we discuss auto immune. If after reading this, you want more information, message me.

Isn't a sugar bond the weakest in Chemistry?
At one time it was thought to be, but the process by which they link has long been underestimated. This past decade has shown that not all sugars are converted to glucose, the glucose only theory has been proven wrong in 1996, by Dr. Robert K. Murray who teaches doctors with his thesis and writings in Harper's Biochemistry (a definitive med school book) and I met the Scotsman on many occasions discussing enzymes and genetic defects and how these sugars may have something to do with changing DNA expression through manipulating enzymatic responses.
The sugars have been traced (radioactive labeling) in the human blood, they are absorbed, distributed, and arranged in a specific order (not randomly) in and around the cell. Their applications in biology and medicine has created an entirely new field for pharmacology and lots of tedious work for biochemists to decipher their hundreds of thousands of cell commands, which enzymes cannot possibly do, due to their limited configurations.
Is one of the products you are talking about isolated form USP vitamins bonded to sugars?
No, it is something that has never been done before. it is the brassica plant in hydroponics that is fed a standardized formula that is sucked up into the plant so its recognized by the cell as food, its like eating the leaf, there is no vitamin dumping into the blood stream as with synthetics. It is truly revolutionary as it is naturally bonded with the phytochemicals of the plant. :
Are there any tissue retention studies done to measure how long it stays in the body?
Even better, there are in vivo and in vitro studies on how long it stays in the body through human blood groups. There are measurable results with intestine disorders which allows an interesting study into why these sugars are also contributing as a catalyst for flora and enzyme production.
Both enzymes and these specific sugars are connected, so its no surprise to me that one cannot function without the other.
How does the receptor cell recognize a substance without a protein carrier?
Proteins use these sugars as zip codes to know what part of the cell they belong to and where they are to be carried like a UPS delivery guy. They are co dependent of each other. For example, most people naively explain that an auto immune is the immune system attacking itself, its really a missing cell surface sugar that creates a problem with the protein structure.
If you could see the electron microscopy image, the protein structure looks like a broken tea cup handle against the lipid structure on the outside of the cell. All this, because of a missing cell surface sugar attached to that protein.
Once the protein structure is mal formed, then the immune system sends a blue print to attack any cell that looks like that mal formed protein structure on that specific cell. Which can be any form of auto immune. It does not matter the diagnosis, because its just a label... They are all treated with steroids as doctors do not practice nutrition.
So, you put these specific sugars into the diet, it is absorbed, it is utilized by the cell for proper glycosylation, the more the better, because V = velocity max figure in Harper's Biochemistry shows the enzymatic conversions working faster, when more of these specific sugars are added.
With the help of enzymes through the golgi apparatus (an assembly plant in every cell in the body), which assemble the proper sugar branching molecules (which are in order, not random) ... the protein structure that once looked like a broken tea cup handle, adheres properly, then the immune system gives another response. To stop attacking the cells that look normal, and wallah... the auto immune simply goes away.
Am I too simple?
Goldy locks said, "This is just right." - However, I'm long winded with my answers if you don't watch the presentations yourself. The science of these food molecules are real, the deficiency is real. You can see what the NIH is doing with these sugars, called "Glycobiology" - The study of these sugars, here: http://www.nih.gov/news/pr/aug2007/nci-2...

If you read this carefully, you will understand that it is the body that corrects itself when provided with particular food molecules that are no longer amply found in the modern diet. They come from vine ripened plant foods, but we live in the age of green harvesting.
I can give you more science on the subject, as this is about the science of nutrition. Doctors don't practice the biology of nutritional recovery, they practice their own form of quackery... Steroid treatments and no cure.
"Freedom of Speech" and being an auto immune survivor will never stop me from sharing the truth, because what I share is listed in the Physicians Desk Reference under "Compromised Immune System" and is completely non toxic with no drug interactions. |
