    Default I believe I am Cured

    Hello all. I don't wish to give people false hope but I need to pass this on. I nearly died last year with a bacteria infected aeortic valve that I believe was induced from the excessive immuno suppressant drugs from treatment for my wegners. I have read countless stuff on the internet that i will not go into now suffice to say I believe I cured myself.

    I did 3 things that I believe have made this impact.
    • Read " A Course in Miracles"
    • Cut back on all sugar and carbs
    • And studied Prof Butykeo and the importance of balanced Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen, this man is a genius!

    Most people with chronic diseases take in too much oxygen, snore and don't get the proper balance of carbon dioxide, critical for the red blood cells.

    I am in splendid health, after my second open heart surgery and severe affects of Wegners, I am now on 2 mil of Prednisolone. I will wean myself off all this also. This is incredible as I have on as much as 75 mil.

    Everyday I take Spirulina, Chlorella and Tumeric. All the nutrients we need are in these 3 three wonder foods. ( powdered form )

    I also tape my mouth closed every evening to prevent snoring.

    I am ecstatic, won my grade in the golf club championships and going strength to strength.

    I also have a wonderful wife and son.

    Good luck to you all. you CAN beat this.

    I am happy that you have cured yourself. I have not. I have not read " A Couurse in Miracles" although I believe in miracles. I also have cut back on sugar and carbs as a matter of fact almost no sugar. As far as Dr. Butykeo, when I see him on the Vasculitis Foundation website, I will consider his input. As for now, I am waiting to get oxygen therapy so I will be able to breathe. I can not eat the "wonder foods" of which you speak due to DVT and filter in vena cava along with already having a PE. Pulmonary Embolism. So please don't tell me I can cure myself, or give false hope to others.

    I think that's wonderful, Aussie fella, and I am so happy that you have found remission from WG.

    I'm not sure it is a cure but long term remission is something that we all achieve.

    I am also with Dale in that I cannot eat those three miracle substances, and I also wouldn't be able to breathe at all if I taped my mouth shut, because of the internal collapse in my nose making it impossible to breathe through it.

    My rheumy once told me that I could be an instant millionaire if I found a cure for remission. I hope that it is true, that you have done so.

    I don't believe that you are giving false hope to others but I do believe that everyone's situation is different, such as mine and Dale's, and that sometimes what has worked for someone wont necessarily work for everyone.

    Thankyou for sharing your joy and good luck with the final 2mg of pred.
    Keep Smiling

    Interesting I am glad this appears to have worked for you but I already restrict carbs and sugar and I only started snoring after Wegener's damaged my nose and sinuses. It was one of the first symptoms. This sort is in line with the person who claimed to be a doctor told me if I sat upright (I was standing at the time) I would be able to breath better.

    I think it would be optimistic and certainly premature to declare a cure when you are still on pred. I'm glad you are feeling better, but that might be a result of losing weight and getting exercise.

    Personally, I don't trust anything I find on the internet, no matter how compelling the argument is, unless there is multiple supporting scientific evidence and reputable experimentation. I totally don't trust anything stated by a doctor (or any other professional) where he also sells the cure. Greed and the lust for money is a powerful incentive to mislead desperate people looking for relief from a desperate situation.

    If you really think you have found a cure, then I would contact the Royal Melbourne Hospital vasculitis center and ask to be entered into a study to prove the cure. If they respond to you with keen interest, then you might really be onto something.

    There is one other thought... You never did say (even in your original post) that you have actually been diagnosed with wegs. A wegs diagnosis is done through exclusion. There is no definitive marker to positively say you do or don't have wegs. Is it possible you had sarcoidosis, which has similar symptoms as other auto-immune diseases. The interesting thing about sarcoidosis is that "About half of cases resolve without treatment or can be cured within 12–36 months, and most within five years."

    Just out of curiousity for you folks who have stated that you cannot take Spirulina, Chlporella, and Tumeric. Why? Is this something that is bad for Weggies?

    Dear fella,
    I can sense your excitement from your post and I am happy for you that you believe you are cured. However, most of us on here have tried many many things and we are not cured, not even in remission. Please do not be offended when someone does not share the same excitement and disagrees with you because they are not in the same place as you believe you are. Some may be suspicious because of the use of the word "cure". We have all been told by our doctors and by much research that there is no cure for this dumb disease. But we can receive treatment, and we may go into remission, and live a fairly normal life. At least some of us but surely not all of us. I myself am doing very well right now, but I expect that one day I will die from the complications of this disease. I have accepted that and I'm not expecting a cure, but I will continue doing things that will promote good health.

    Please do not feel that you should not post again just because you do not get excited responses from all of us. I hope you will continue to be a part of the forum and let us know more about your diagnosis and treatment.
