Who we are:   We provide research done by US scientists NIH, AHA & CDC which does not make front page news.

Cause of all diseases: Researchers call it the "unifying theory" behind the major killers of our times among cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, CIDP & alzheimers..

 Inflammation, know by the red, painful swelling that follows an injury, bug bite or trauma. Inflammation exists in tissue below the skin, this below-the-eye inflammation is the culprit that worsens most chronic diseases.

While inflammation is the immune system's response for beating back invaders in the body, inflammation gone unchecked can lead to heart attacks, strokes, cancers, Alzheimer's by destroying particular cells.

Out of control inflammation is linked to all diseases.

Chronic inflammation is caused by the persistent presence of pathogens, environmental pollutants and lifestyle. The so called genetic changes are reversible with diet.

 Inflammation in autoimmune diseases is the number one killer on Planet Earth.  Our own white cells start attacking body organs. The attack triggered by infections, surgery, injury, inhalation of pollutants, vaccination or stress

If a disease has good & bad days, consider it to be a autoimmune disorder. If the disease started after pregnancy, surgery, car accidents, toxic exposure or living close to a dump, its autoimmune. The sooner you change your lifestyle the better the results. After the termination of pregnancy a increased autoimmune attack is seen & autoimmune diseases are triggered after pregnancy including Vasculitis, depression & PTSD.

In every disease there is a trigger which is usually a protein on the surface of a microbe or food example (gluten). Usually a infection will trigger a immune response that begins to attack a part of your body. Unless the particular microbe is neutralized you will not be able to achieve a cure.

Stress reduces your immune functions and is the first step to trigger off autoimmune diseases. Prayer and trust in God will relive stress. If you do negative things that will contribute to stress. Read the diet page for more instructions.

P.T.S.D. (post traumatic stress disorder), depression, anxiety, O.C.D (obsessive compulsive disorder), PANDAS are all immune mediated. 

Young women  with undiagnosed problems please read aboutDysautonomia. Inflammatory disorders are common in women.Do not think that hot flashes are due to hormone deficiency. Diseases should be treated by considering that you have immune dysfunction.

You all remember President Regan, he had chest cancer and did not get any treatment in USA, he got his immune functions fixed by alternative treatments and fully recovered from the cancer.

Below is a description of a common autoimmune nerve disorder, for other diseases please see our disease section. of E-Book. or the maindisease section here.

 Tingling numbness in the toes can be Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy . Diabetics have a higher incidence of CIDP. A super expert medical professional can diagnose CIDP on the first visit without any electro-diagnostic help, read our diagnosis page to find out which is the best test.

 

Polyneuropathy or CIDPAny feeling of numbness & weakness is polyneuropathy is more likely to be CIDP.  Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculo neuropathy is an immune-mediated Polyneuropathy  (inflammatory) that affects the nerves. The symptoms are a slowly progressive, numbness and tingling starts in the feet, and  then involves legs and hands. Sufferer notices  weakness  in the legs, later in the arms. Some complain of inability to walk or maintain balance in the dark. There is frequently somespinal cord involvement.  Occasionally,cranial nerves are involved, symptoms range from visual perception difficulties, double vision, numbness involving the face, hearing disorders. Cognitive skills are not affected by CIDP. Most people believe that their knee, ankles or hip joints are a problem. Muscle and spinal involvement is frequent in CIDP.Brain involvement in CIDP is misdiagnosed as MS.   A CIDP patient uses hands to go upstairs or rise from the squatting position, these are signs of legs becoming weaker.  burning sensations like, (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy.Complex regional pain syndrome) are more likely to be CIDP.






Diabetic neuropathy is likely to be CIDP. The spinal tap may show a rise in the protein level of the spinal fluid. Electromyography with nerve conduction studies may show slowing of EMG/NCV. This nerve study will be normal when  the small fibers (autonomic nerves) are involved. Autonomic involvement cause feelings of (Pain and burning). The course of CIDP is remitting relapsing, it gets better and then worse again. Rarely the attacks come once a month, or couple of months apart a normal EMG/NCV does not rule out CIDP. A NCV can be normal if proximal nerve roots next to the spinal cord get involved.

CIDP is misdiagnosed as ALS. Due to a mix of upper and lower motor neuron lesions (brain, spinal-cord + peripheral nerve).  M.M.F. (Multifocal Motor Neuropathy) also looks like ALS has no sensory involvement. Autoimmune ALS will have sensory changes and I call this a CIDP variant. Thus a false diagnose of ALS  can be made. Untreated CIDP can turn into ALS. (ALS is a CIDP spectrum disorder)

Current standards  to diagnose CIDP do not recommend a nerve biopsy: As the skip lesions of CIDP may or may not be seen in  Sural nerve biopsy. After biopsy the patient may have a sensory deficit. Which may be worse then the original disease. I have seen people who are worse off due to nerve biopsy.  Leprosy may be the only reason to do a nerve biopsy.

Finding of inflammation in the nerve biopsy, is rare, definitely will confirm the diagnosis of CIDP. However, the absence of inflammation does not rule out CIDP. Findings of  demyelination (loss of myelin around the nerve) on the nerve biopsy can be used to confirm the clinical presentation and  suggest a diagnosis of CIDP. We find the nerve biopsy unnecessary.
