I saw your post about the product by Tilax?? or something like that re: the cream. I'm getting very interested. Hey, so this German person that sells it (I think you said his name is Mark?) well, is it the same product? I'm assuming it is, but just wanted to confirm w. you. Imagine it's not released to sell here in the states by the FDA...oh yeah, not that this means a thing, but on his (Marks site) did you know on his links page he has your nightmare listed ...aka...Silentsuperbug? Just curious.
Please reply to this when you can- Again, I'm really interested in ordering some.
Check it out:
and: Evolving virtual Creatures
also Nadas, you made the comment 2 pages back ...something about the spongebob guy? Could you explain what you meant by that. Just v. curious.
Thanks Guys!
I'm sorry- I guess I somehow missed your post this morning. To answer your questioin in comparison.....I have only expelled liquid from my body that looked exactly like baby powder as well, but that is it as far as comparison with your symptoms. Well, also the fact that I too feel doomed.....
Thanks for sharing- I know what you mean...everything going good in my life too then it took a complete turn around. Sad....but today, I'm more pissed than anything....guess it was the blog that Morgellons watch had posted. (Not them that was upsetting but the New reports and Mental Illness bullshit). Well, at least if they do not step up to the plate and say sorry and here is what you need to get better, than yes, we're scewed but so will they be when we finish with them. At least we know more than we did a year ago. Hell, I thought the world had came to an end., it was the most miserable year in my life and I did not even have to work. Teaching school (WORKING) would have been so much better and that is no fun picnic in itself.....
Basically biotechnology and nano techniques has ruined the world. (My opinion.,
Hey, did anyone else order the stuff from that person that Randy knows?
I really want some.
They suck boulder rocks!!!!
AND,,,,Befour, I got my bracelet and copper wire, funny Gillian advised me to tie around my toe when I go to sleep.....this is weird but am going to try tonight and will let you know....hey, do you take yours off (the braclete?)
Systemic and all, here is a whole page for you on spun hair and what have you.....weird stuff....whomever they got to write the articles left out cloning.......god, I hate biotechnology.,.......
Golf tee hairs in Netherton disease.
We present a case of Netherton disease, where the hairs lacked the characteristic microscopic feature of trichorrhexis invaginata. In its place were certain hairs with a golf tee morphology. These represent the proximal half of the invaginate node seen in typical Netherton disease. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated the three-dimensional quality of this abnormality, which is subtle when assessed by light microscopy alone. We describe this sign so that it might be recognized when seen in isolation, as here, and allow the diagnosis of Netherton disease to be confirmed.

Good article on that bioweapon lab. I thought we were not supposed to make anymore. Sounds like our govt sets the rules, but, doesn't follow them, because? .............I wish Nixon could have told us more.........You know he was his own person......
I think he actually like JFK.
Hey, good point to bring up though, we need to keep on top of the new weapon lab, just be open source, don't you think?
Tam Tam,
So, are you saying by nuclear transfer a cell with a nucleus is transfering the cell to a non-nucleus
organism? That would be the event of symbiosisis between parakaryote and eukaryote?
Also, the amyloidosis, mycocystin connection.
Mycocystin transfered nucleus form its cell to and by vector. Vector in a bacteriophage? Otherwise, how would we get it? How would the nucleus of another cell transfer to our skin? to our muscles, to our very callogen?
Okay, I will read some more.......
Thank you for the links.
Sarah Conner,
that link you provided sure tells us something, doesn't it?. OH oh we have a problem, maybe those nanoparticles in that aerosol propellent spraying that creates those tribolites and those sarcophages and those bored pilots are deciding to give us some hints too.
So the EPA and DOE might have blundered?
Oh no, funny combination Energy and Genomes to Life. How they go together!
Now, the EPA says oh oh, they might cause problems for humans.
In that article you presented, there are some concerns.
Fly Ash is being doused with something here just down the hill from where I live. A Consumer Power Plant, a coal burning plant, is putting fly ash from the plant on a field across the road, a road that many many people drive daily, and on that they are putting the ash, and most likely those genetically altered and symbiont microbial bacterias on this field, which could and most likely are causing a biofilm to cover the whole filed, which they will use for soccer fields. EXCELLENT!

Note the last one! Lets delve into this.
Discussion time!!!!!!!!
In the one you showed it mentions this:
"ultrafine particles
(UFPs) generated by anthropogenic activities and to their cardiopulmonary
outcomes. The comparability of engineered NPs suggests that the human health
effects are likely to be similar to that of UFPs."
"Neuronal translocation" and
"Dermal exposure and translocation"
Seems to be more Cons than Pros!
Neuronal translocation
The potential existence of neuronal uptake and translocation of inhaled
particulates and pathogens to the brain reported in several studies was reviewed
in detail by Oberdörster et al (Oberdörster 2005). From studies cited in their
review it appears that the olfactory nerve is the most viable pathway for the
transport of particles intranasally inhaled due to the close proximity of the
olfactory mucosa and bulb. In studies using whole-body inhalation of rats to
ultrafine carbon black extrapulmonary translocation through the olfactory nerve
was reported to be a viable mechanism (Oberdörster et al. 2002). Whether these
NPs transported to the brain cause any cell injury or toxicity to the brain is not
Dermal exposure and translocation
The human skin is the largest organ in the body protecting against the
environment with a surface area of nearly 18,000 cm2. Polar and nonpolar
materials can permeate across the stratum corneum via a paracellular route
(Menon and Elias 1997). Photomechanical waves have been shown to enhance
permeability of the stratum corneum in vivo inducing expansion of the lacunar
spaces leading to the formation of transient channels to facilitate the transport of
macromolecules into the viable epidermis (Menon et al. 2003). A potential
metabolic intervention to enhance effective transdermal drug delivery is reported
to be highly effective in through permeabilized stratum corneum (Elias et al.
Penetration of particles greater than one micron is very limited through the
normal skin other than in areas of scratching, injury, or mechanical stretching. In
conjunction with motion, Tinkle et al (2003) demonstrated in an animal model that
topical application of 0.5 and 1.0 µm beryllium particles penetrate the stratum
corneum and develop hapten-specific, cell mediated immune response.
Penetration of TiO2 microparticles in sunscreen into the stratum corneum and
follicular orifice of hair has been reported (Lademann et al. 1999). Particles
reaching the dermis can be transported to the lymphatic system by macrophages
and dendritic cells. Although there are no well documented studies on the
potential of NPs penetration and transmigration to other distant organs, one can
postulate from the studies reported using beryllium particles that it is more likely
a viable route of entry in workers involved in mechanical or strenuous activities.
In a cytotoxicity study of human keratinocytes in culture, Shvedova et al
(2003), demonstrated the potential of SWCNT exposure to induce ROS
generation resulting in cytotoxicity, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant depletion, and
loss of cell viability associated with ultrastructural and pathological changes.
Their studies concluded that exposure to unrefined SWCNT can result in
accelerated oxidative stress and toxic manifestations in exposed workers.
Based on current available toxicologic studies and limited human data we
have developed a schema of potential interactions of UFPs transportation,
interactions, and suspected sequence of events that may lead to cardiovascular,
pulmonary and other organ involvement (Figure 3).
Advancements in nanomedicine potentially offer new and intriguing opportunities
in NP-based early detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Commercial
Berylium is in the C trails. Oh yeah, won't hurt nobody!!!!!!!!
Skytroll, wow - great post. Thank you!
To all these fake believe make believe science organizations that have our best interest at heart.....(by the way, I won't fall for the skirting of the law techiques)
I'm really sick and tired of all the BS! Either tell us what we have and what we can do to live w. it or keep on with the lies and we will possibly see you in court. (and no, not talking about my prior dispute with someone that post here....I mean the whole enchalada from the CDC, the NIH, TO THE BIOTECHLIARS......
WE ARE THE ONES SICK SO DON'T EVEN GO THERE DAN OR jULIIE....AND SOME PEOPLE AMONGST OUR LIL GROUP HERE COULD START COUGHING UP SOME THINGS.
yES, tAM HAS TOLD US WHAT HE THINKS THE BEST MEDS WOULD BE BUT i WANT TO KNOW FRIGGIN DETAILS....WHAT IS THE NAME AND WHY? ( I DO NOT EXPECT TAMTAM TO ANSWER THAT EITHER-UNLESS HE WANTS TOO), BUT THE ORGANIZATIONS.....SPIT IT FRIGGIN OUT...PLEASE DO NOT KEEP ON LOOKING STUPID AND UNTRUSTWORHTHY.....IT'S TIME TO BREAK
NOW, look at this very closely- see anything shady?
Can anyone explain?
: Investigation of Bacterial Biofilm Destruction Using Gas Discharge Plasma
Preview Abstract

(California State Polytechnic University, Pomona)
Biofilms are bacterial communities embedded in an exopolysaccharidic matrix with a complex architectural structure. Bacteria in biofilms show different properties from those in free life thus, conventional methods of killing bacteria are often ineffective with biofilms. The use of plasmas potentially offers an effective alternative to conventional sterilization methods since plasmas contain a mixture of charged particles, chemically reactive species, and UV radiation. 4 and 7 day-old biofilms were produced using two bacterial species. Gas discharge plasma was produced by using an AtomfloTM reactor (Surfx Technologies) and bacterial biofilms were exposed to it for different periods of time and different plasma conditions. For each plasma condition, cell counts were plotted against the time of treatment, which allow us to calculate D-values and compare various plasma treatments quantitatively. Optical emission spectroscopy was used to study plasma composition and temperature which was then correlated with the effectiveness of killing. \newline This Work was supported partly by CSUPERB.
Tam Tam, what do you think about the above article?
Some parts are moved- BioTeam
Thank you Tamtam. The information in this post will take a little time to process and digest. Thanks for being patient too.
I sure hope that the CDC is using any and all resources out there to help this new team assigned to evaluate this condition. Much ground work has already been done.
I wonder if this new team of professionals knows that Tamtam keeps repeating himself here with information that if proved to be true, could be crucial to all of us?
Maybe I should ask them ?:idea:
Will somebody please tell me what "////////moved////////" means? Thanks

Document 32
Memorandum re Soviet Biological Weapons Programs, no classification, 9/17/92 (according to source), 10 pp.
Source: State Department FOIA Database
This unsigned document, found in State Department records and according to them dating from September 1992, summarizes information the author had been gathering for years from former Soviet citizens who had been involved with the Soviet biological warfare program since the 1970s. According to these accounts, the USSR in the early 1970s began to develop new biological warfare agents using genetic engineering techniques to enhance their weapons characteristics (such as by adding increased resistance to antibiotics); that at around the same time Moscow initiated a program to transfer biological weapons research to civilian institutions and .........to create new institutions to pursue this research........ and that these facilities were organized under a special directorate called BIOPREPARAT, which had recently come under the Ministry of Health

Gee Wiz!!! I don't know what to say!!! I have stayed up all friggin night... my eyes are hanging out of my head. I really wanted to end this week on an up,..some answers. Look I am with LONDON, we're friggin ill oka, I don;t know what the HELL it is either, but for goodness sake, it I am supposed to be DOP, or I have dust mites I would really appreciate being told... my docs haven;t ever said that ONCE!!!
Why do THEY THE DOCTORS I HAVE SEEN believe in Morgellons as something more than DELSIONAL?? Come ON we ARE LISTENING to our DOCTORS, but christ I am 38 years of age, I am a baby. I did a normal job, I am friggin intelligent, this is NOT a life, every human being deserves to know what is happening to them?
The MRF and all the other money spinners so far have got us where ..... just SICKER that is ALL. False hopes, promises, and they don't care because they MUST KNOW THAT this will KILL us before we can probably we bothered finding any sort of explanation for something that looks like a human hair flying out from the delicate skin of WOMANS VAGINA!!! YES you heard me, and blue fluff and crap from clothes should not be there either.....Let me tell you my MOTHER would HAVE set me straight on this LONG along.....she would have saved her own flesh and body her DAUGHTER from such foolish behaviour, and dragging her family name through the mud if she alone thought this was a DELUSION and for that matter so would half of the people I know from the COMMUNITY THAT I LIVE IN!!!
MY FRIGGIN PHARAMACIST practically counsels my friend I live with when he goes there... and says this is a terrrible disease....and so bizarre I have never heard of it and for that matter HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF DELUSIONS OF PARASITOSIS.. So are you going to tell him a Pharmacist that he has NOT A CLUE EITHER!!! He said it to my friend....SHE (meaning me) DOESN'T NEED ALL THIS MEDICINE BEHIND ME (pointing to all the pharma drugs on the shelf!!!). His words - This is going to take YEARS to find a CURE!! He said to 'T' take care of her please, make sure you try to keep her moods on an even level. This is very very tough for her. I am really sorry about this. I wish I could do something. By the way my friend has this TOO.
and YES it all STARTED with a boy NAMED DREW..... I don't KNOW WHY SHE DID IT .....or WHY SHE HAS DONE WHAT SHE HAS BEEN ACCUSSED OFF.....but I DO KNOW ONE THING..... THIS **** (bizarre physical and psychological symptoms) DOES NOT HAPPEN to the HUMAN BODY they DID NOT teach me THAT IN SCHOOL.
SO DO YOUR FRIGGIN JOB and TELL ME AND MY FRIENDS HERE WHAT THE HELL WE HAVE and WE DON'T GIVE A HOOT WHAT YOU CALL THE DAMN THIING .... BUT FOR THE FRIGGIN WILD GOOSE CHASE WE HAVE BEEN SENT ON DON'T YOU THINK WE AT LEAST DESERVE SOME FRIGGIN RESPECT....
If you can't CURE US - FINE!!! Tell us Please.
If you don't KNOW WHAT IT IS - FINE TELL US PLEASE!!
If you believe THIS IS SOMETHING NEW AND IT IS REAL - would you PLEASE TELL US.
IF YOU THINK we have the emergence of an old disease please tell us.
Don't give a shite who is to blame, BUT my goodness me SOMEONE has to be accountable for for this type of ABUSE to happen to INNOCENT, LAW ABIDING CITIZEN, AND CHILDREN don't you think?
How do you people honestly lie straight in bed at night, and kiss your children before school, and tucking them into bed. You want me to do COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY - WELL YES I'M DOING IT KNOW - I AM venting my anger in the appropirate direction AT YOU lot you so called professionals and experts!!
Do DOCTORS take some sort of Hypocractical Oath - is that correct terminology - remember I AM SICK not a friggin pseudo Scientist masquarding also as a sex mad moth who mated with a jelly fish whilst they had wild sex ON GOD FORBID an INFECTED COTTON BED SHEET....and hell MAYBE some DUST mites too.....and when they had finished having wild sex THEY CALLED themselves Morg Monsters kissed each other goodnight and then got APDUCTED by ALIENS whilst sleeping....and when they confronted the ALIENS as to what the HELL were they doing....they said just donate some funds to the OSU for Dr Wymores RESEARCH....then they woke up!!
I think that last comment is the BEST twrap up so far. That is exactly what the cause of MORGELLONS IS DON'T YA THINK!!! Come on - if these poor people (very intelligent sick people) do anymore research we will blow up.
If you can't come to some sort of an agreement TELL US ALL so we can at least die with a bit of friggin dignity, any normal HUMAN BEING does not LIKE to LIVE or THINK this way. Premature dealth is NOT what I want, but hell I can't not listen to what my body tells me and of course you just have to look at it. My GRANDMA is 90yrs old - SHE looks HEALTHIER than me, but you know my blood tests are Healthy.
Does Hypochondria cause severe disfigurement/scarring/lesions/strange hair growth from body parts that shouldn't HAVE IT GROWING ON A WOMAN?
How come the SO CALLED SELF INFLICTED LESIONS don't even GROW A BACTERIA???? Doesn't that strike you as a little bit strange??
Should I rest my CASE or just BANG MY HEAD AGAINST THE WALL AND GET SOME SLEEP????
Bang on Sarah!! just joking! Thank you for your heartfelt post!
Sara, did you know that night you were on the radio w/ Cliff and Chas, etc., that Greg from MorgUSA came on and said he also had cat-scratch??
Hey, TamTam, I was not insinuating that you knew about the above biofilm/plasma scenario (re: my post at top), but just wanted your opinion.
Screw them! I don't care anymore who it hurts or how much it cost them.I have had enough....I give it about 6 more days and hopefully they willl cough up something. I have had this (full blown) now for exactly a year and 10 days.
Somebody knows something. Someone is lying....was it the Feds/FBI saying they could not find a match? Probably. This is BS that Dr.Wymore cannot find something by now. There has been a match, I can just feel it.
Wonder why Dr.Wymore and his buddy Cliff and Greg don't look into the Oklahoma State Vet Dept.?? There, they have done lots of studies that might contain some valuable information. Plus, that school has got some good communications equipment; especially for videoconferencing. This was paid for in millions in Grant money.
Also, seems NASA does a lot of their business in the state of Oklahoma.
This is all public knowledge and I hope the hell they (CDC, etc.,) start to cough up some more info in the next few days. Lord knows I will.
Like I said, SICK of the S!
Someone sent me a pm stating they put Lyme into the tick; here you go:
Experimental Infection of Ixodes scapularis Larvae (Acari: Ixodidae) by Immersion in Low Passage Cultures of Borrelia burgdorferi
We describe a procedure for the introduction of Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochetal agent of Lyme disease, into larvae of the tick vector Ixodes scapularis. Internalized spirochetes were observed in larvae examined after 15 or 45 min immersion at 32°C in liquid culture suspensions of low passage B. burgdorferi strain B31. Larval ticks immersed in low passage strain B31 were able to feed to repletion on white-footed mice. Midguts of larvae contained many spirochetes 1 wk postengorgement, while larvae incubated with high passage strain B31 were free of detectable spirochetes at the same interval. Larvae incubated with low passage strain B31 were competent to transmit the pathogen to mice, as shown by serology, reisolation of B. burgdorferi from mice, and xenodiagnosis. Ticks maintained the infection transstadially to the nymphal stage and transmitted the infection to naive mice, replicating an essential aspect of natural infection. This method requires no special equipment and allows artificial infection of large numbers of ticks at the larval stage. It will facilitate studies of the contribution of specific B. burgdorferi genetic loci to tick colonization.

and, it appears that this person that emailed me agrees on the microwaves and how very harmful they are.....think about this.....Solar Power; MAYBE FROM TECHNOLOGIES? i DUNNO, BUT GOING TO LOOK INTO IT TOO. I BET IT IS THE ENERGY DEPT....THINK ABOUT THIS: I'M THINKING RENEWABLE ENERGY BEING TAKEN FROM THE OCEAN, THE MICROBES, YOU NAME IT. HERE IS AN ARTICLE ON SOLAR POWER OH, YEA, I THINK THE NAME I FOUND was solar photovoltaic
Now check this out...I was reading about Solar Electricity when I saw this and it like kind of "clicked" in my head. I remember being out in the sun all day while I was on a trip in Mexico and later that day is when the pain starting shooting thru my back in waves. It was like darts were being thrown into me. Was this the photons I was talking about last week? Oh, I think so!
what is it?
It is the generation of electricity from the power of the sun, via photovoltaic cells (pv). It is different from solar water heating, where water passes through panels to be heated directly, and no electricity is generated.
Photovoltaic cells are made from silicon; when particles of sunlight (photons) fall on the cells, they dislodge the outer electrons of their atoms, and push them along to the next atom; a chain of moving electrons is produced, and if a wire is attached to the panels, these electrons can be pushed down it to supply a useable electric current. This current is measured in amps, and to give some idea of the scale involved, one amp of current involves the movement of 6 million million million electrons per second.
The electricity produced this way (and also from batteries) flows in one direction only, and so is called direct current, whereas electricity from the UK national grid is alternating current, as the flow of electrons changes direction 50 times per second. Direct current can be stored in batteries to power 12 volt appliances. for he rest of story, see:

I did feel for the man because it was obvious he was nervous, suffering and fed up like all of us.
Well if there is evidence pointing in that direction - well there is an opening for the CDC to follow up.
What are they scared of?
Doing some REAL work for a change.
Christ all mighty I have sucked up their bums so much, telling them what are smart bright bunch of people their are. I give them the benefit of the doubt.
BUT it is all this flipping and flopping all over the place which HAS ME losing a NIGHTS SLEEP OVER THIS CRAP!!
I do not want to lose anymore sleep over this BS.
London - if you alone have had these symptoms for 12 months now you say - from one fellow human being to another - I DO NOT want you to have advanced symptoms like I do.
So I am willing to go to a uni in Melbourne for a clinical study assisted through Wymore.
Can you go to a uni. near your home and do the same with Wymores help?
Then two down - how many more thousand to go??
Well if we want to PROVE that we have something new, different, and very real how about we at least put one foot in front of the other and START. The fibers ain't going to start talking BUT we are the people and we do tell it exactly how it is.
Just some more verbal diarrhoea - food for thought

Interest in the Casimir Effect has increased in recent years with the
improvement in micro and nano-technology. Rather then being of solely theoretical interest, the Casimir Effect has real technological ramifications that need be considered in the development of new technologies. The short distance scales involved in emerging technologies (sub - mm scales)mean that the Casimir forces will come into play, and play an important role in design considerations. The Casimir Effect plays an important role in
Microelectromechanical Systems(MEMS).
MEMS involve the integration of switches, sensors, actuators, motors, electronics and the like, on silicon microchips using microfabrication technology. Short-range forces such as the Casimir force hinder performance of the components of MEMS, most notably in switches and actuators where stiction becomes prevalent. Stiction (a contraction of the term Static friction) occurs when components in a MEMS system become stuck to one another. This can be a large problem in MEMS systems as they can be rendered useless if the stiction cannot be overcome. Our work involves modelling the Casimir effect for different geometries and looking at the role of the Casimir force in MEMS systems."
Optical instrumentation can be used for gas absorption spectroscopy, which is the study absorption lines of a gas species as a function of wavelength. Compared to conventional physicalgas cells, optical fibres exhibit clear advantages for gas sensing such as small size, potential for a longer interaction length, i.e. a better sensitivity, and possibility for
remote sensing. Different fibre designs, including fibres with a small hole in the centre of the core and D-shaped fibres, have been reported elsewhere. However, such sensors suffer from a poor overlap between the gas volumeand the mode field of the propagating light, resulting in weak absorption. Therefore long lengths are required to achieve high sensitivity. This project focuses on the use of novel optical fibres, i.e. hollow core waveguides (HCWs)holey fibres (HFs) and photonic bandgap (PBG) fibres, as alternative gas cells in order to improve the sensitivity of measurements. Three different fibres are currently under study: a 3-strand fibre with a small silica core surrounded by three air holes, a hollow-core photonic bandgap (HC-PBG)fibre and a hollow core waveguide. A characterisation of the fibres by observation of the near-field has been made to determine the amount of light that interacts with the gas species. To decrease the diffusion time of gas towards the sensing region, small holes have been machined along the 3-strand and the HC-PBG fibres using a femtosecond laser. Transmission loss measurements performed to quantify the effect of these holes showed that the machined 3-strand fibre is suitable for gas sensing while further work have to be done on the HC-PBG fibre.
Detection of weak 1.66 m harmonics of methane using a 1mm-diameter hollow core waveguide has also been proven.
Gas sensing of CO2 and CO is required for pollution detection, gas monitoring in the industry and house safety. For that purpose, we are working on photodetectors based on a simple ternary compound InAsN grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy(MBE).
To avoid voluminous cooling system, we aim at a room temperature operation in engineering InAs (with a wavelength of 2.98 m at 4K) by introducing a small amount of nitrogen, which theoretically increases the reachable wavelength.
We present the study of 3 samples whose possible detection wavelength,
composition,strain and quality of the interface are characterized by PhotoLuminescence (PL) and HighResolution X-Ray Diffractometry (HRXRD).We report the successful incorporation of N of 0.06%, 0.45% and 0.96%. PL results at lowtemperature show an increasing operating wavelength with increasing N content, reaching 3.46m at 4K for [N] = 0.96 % . With a better quality of the crystal (and possibly the reduction of the defects), we expect to reach 4.2 m and 4.6 m for CO2 and CO sensing at room temperature with the p-type doping with Beryllium (Be).
The discovery of the genetic structure of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the jellyfish AequoreaVictoria (1992) enabled rapid improvements in the tools available for fluorescent labelling of proteins invitro and in vivo. Furthermore, the introduction of mutations into GFP has allowed the generation offluorescent proteins with altered spectral properties (e.g. cyan CFP and yellow YFP), that facilitate theuse of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) to study molecular interactions. FRET results from non-radiative coupling of two fluorophores within 10-100Å of each other, making it an ideal assayfor studying the interactions between tagged proteins.In this work, we report the FRET signal of the binding, conjugation and deconjugation of members of
the family of the small ubiquitin-like modifier SUMO. SUMO-modification of
proteins is important in many biological processes, including intracellular transport, and when disturbed can lead to conditions such as...EVIL ."

"A «dried» comet is a source of explosion-danger due to chemical energy
preserved in the crystals of gas-hydrate ice (methane, ammonia, carbonic acid gas and other frozen gases). With a temperature rise from one volume of ice there can be formed 100-150 v olumes of gas. Consequences. 1. The formation of soot under the stony crust as a result of thermal decomposition of methane in the conditions of the absence of air-access. During this process the comet gets «dried» being still in cosmic space. The soot formation on the surface of the stony layer in the conditions of incomplete methane burning when entering the Earth's atmosphere. 2. The high reflective capability of soot is the cause of the blindingly bright fire-ball, the powerful dust trail and the unusualy bright twilight over Western Siberia and Europe. 3.Discovering «the corks» from the stony layer as a result of the gas pressure growth reaching the explosive level. 4.

Sound Off for Wednesday, April 23, 2014
On Walker: In the 2010 campaign, Scott Walker suggested he would create 250,000 jobs in his first term. He failed, so let's hold him to his word so he can become a full-time student and complete his college degree.
-- Good for Scott Walker, our good governor. To all the Walker fans, I just put my "I stand for Walker" sign up in the yard. Just to let everybody know, it's time to put your signs up. Go, Walker, go.
On liquor licenses: I can't believe that city staff is still trying to sell ordinance changes as an economic development program. From the testimony, it sounds like there's only two small businesses that want liquor licenses, yet they're proposing broad rule changes that would negatively impact existing holders as well as the broader community.
On mail theft: Regarding Page 2A last Wednesday, I thought it was a federal offense to tamper with U.S. mail. An ordinary citizen would be behind bars, but a government employee gets probation for stealing mail and money in that mail? I want Judge Adelman if I ever have to appear in court.
On drunken driver: I'm referring to Page 3A Thursday about the man who got 10 years for killing his friend in a crash. Nowhere does it say that the friend was partly responsible for getting in a car with a drunken driver, so it's not 100 percent the driver's fault.
On Mike Sheridan: Sheridan's experiences are much needed in the state Capitol.
On Parkview referendum: The superintendent and board should not be boasting too much about winning. Winning by 26 votes isn't a landslide. The three largest communities tell the story. Newark voted 2-to-1 "no"; Footville was 50-50, and Orfordville 2-1 "yes." Congratulations to Orfordville. If you don't like your sizeable tax increase for the next 20 years, did you get out and vote?
On loud motorcycles: This is in response to Sunday's Sound Off suggesting motorcycles must be loud so they can be heard as well as seen. Well, maybe motorcycles should be outlawed on the road if they're so unsafe and cars and pickups should be as loud as possible so they are safer.
On firefighters: Firefighters pay for their own food and the television and any other expenses they have. Therefore, I don't believe people should worry about taxpayers paying for these things.
On China program: The Janesville School Board and Superintendent Karen Schulte should be proud of their China program. The district is providing a prep school, high school experience for wealthy Chinese students seeking admission to prestigious U.S. colleges. Well done.
On Austin Road: It's used by many people and by Parker High School. I know part of it is in the city and part in the town or county, and I was wondering if they couldn't get together and fix that road and maybe widen it a little in case a driver or bus has a problem. The road is in horrible shape.
On Lux column: Anna Marie Lux's article in Sunday's paper was great. Internments done at the time were the Japanese, the Germans and also Italian-Americans. Not really a great time in our history.
On GM: I'm surprised anybody from Janesville or Rock County would buy a General Motors product. Now they're going to spend $12 billion in China, and they're spending all that money in Mexico. Janesville they dropped like a hat. Besides, what they build is not very safe, and they're not very honest telling you that they are safe.
On fuel options: The article on Page 6B Monday, "In the short run, gas beats biofuel," confirms everything I've been saying for years, Ethanol costs more, pollutes more. You use nearly as much energy to produce a gallon of it as you get from burning a gallon of it so why do we have it? It's being shoved down our throats by the government.
On food stamps: I get less than $1,000 a month, and when I went on disability, they took away my $189 a month food stamps, so now I only get $50. By the time I pay rent, utilities, for gas and car insurance, I have nothing to eat on. How am I supposed to live if they don't give me food stamps?
On land dispute: I am so disappointed in The Gazette. The story on the Nevada rancher being threatened by the Bureau of Land Management and FBI, a virtual standoff with armed citizens trying to protect their rights, and not a peep in your paper. This story shows why the Second Amendment allowing the right to bear arms is so crucial to our freedom.

Lori Stottler: Of Rock County's $200 million budget, residents might ask, 'What's in it for me?'
As I settle midway into my second term as Rock County clerk, I've only begun to understand the complexity and depth of county government.
As citizens, we often only glimpse at county government. We might get called for jury duty, go to the treasurer's office to pay taxes, work out an estate in probate or check on a property in the register of deeds office (you might grab a copy of your birth certificate while you're there!). For the very fortunate, you might come to the county clerk's office to apply to get married or get a passport in preparation for a vacation out of the country.
Other minor encounters might include: giving thanks on that snowy day for the roads being plowed and safe to drive on (Oh yes, we hear from you when they are not!); inquiring at the health department about immunizations, an encounter with a dog bite, or a kit to test your well water; or visiting your mother at Rock Haven and taking comfort in the care and facility she is blessed to have just been transferred to.
But what about the services the average citizen might never see? The court system is massive in its diversity. Our youth services center aims to use diversion and rehabilitation to redirect troubled youths so they don't become adult inmates at our local jail.
What about the safety matters on any given day that use emergency management, 911 communications, sheriff's office personnel, the district attorney and, on the really bad days, our coroner's office? Do you take those services for granted like I did? There isn't enough room to tell you about the county's human services personnel who are out interacting with the disabled, the mentally challenged, the economically broken and families in crisis.
What I can tell you is that Rock County government really is $200 million big and that the impact on our daily lives, in ways seen and unseen, is worth every penny. I know it's not fun to pay taxes, and I know we all tend to ask, "What's in it for me?" when we sign those checks, but I sleep better at night knowing that county employees strive to live up to their lofty mission: To enhance the quality of life, health, safety and trust of all citizens by providing top-quality public services through a creative and responsive team committed to excellence, integrity, accountability and respect.
You don't have to take my word for it. Log on to www.co.rock.wi.us to learn about the spectrum of services we offer.
Lori Stottler serves as elected clerk of Rock County. She can be reached at 608-757-5660; email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lynis is an auditing and hardening tool for Unix derivatives like Linux/BSD/Solaris. It scans systems to detect software and security issues. Besides security-related information, it will also scan for general system information, installed packages, and possible configuration mistakes. The software is aimed at assisting automated auditing, software patch management, and vulnerability and malware scanning of Unix-based systems.
Kernel Security Checker is a useful tool to locate attackers residing within a system by employing a direct analysis of the kernel through /dev/kmem and bypassing the hiding techniques of the intruder (kernel static recompilation or use of LKMs). It can find the modified syscalls from userspace, detect the promiscuous interfaces, and find the modifications applied to a protocol.
The goal of Escape-K is to provide an all-in-one platform for IT service management. This means that using a single application (the Escape-K client console), users are able to manage any sized computer organization, from workstation and printers to servers, databases, or network devices. Escape-K follows the main guidelines recommended by ITIL. Therefore, the core of the application is the composed of the CMDB. Depending of the chosen perspective, Escape-K users can deal with incidents and problem resolution as well as server or database administration.
net-status-monitor is a simple console script to test whether Internet connectivity is working. If it is, the script tells you the external IP address (in case your dynamic DNS provider is down). If not, it tries to find the point where the connectivity fails. The output is quite simple, so you can put it on your grandmother's PC. "Just tell me what the read line says" should give you enough information.

Stomach bloating and weight gain
For discussing the functions of different structures of all organisms.
Moderator: BioTeam
Well, good luck to you and there is light at the end of the tunnel
If your seeing a General practice Dr, he/she should send you to a gynocologist unless it is something obvious. So keep that in mind.
Let us know the outcome...
One more thing and be advised. For my wife, diagnosis was a slow process, many visits to the doctors. Thats HMO's for ya...
I am lucky, I can go to the Vetrans hospital here in San Diego. One of the best hospitals in the country.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
I stopped smoking 3 months ago and and although I never want to smoke ever again, Im seriously considering it. The reason being I feel terrible! Everyday my stomach is bloated and even when I empty myself nothing changes. I have had a colonic and take probiotics regularly. I drink loads of water and eat plenty of vegetables. I dont eat dairy as I think this makes it worse. I dont know what else to do and Im feeling very fat and miserable!
Has anyone else had this problem and any help would be very much appreciated.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
I have read all the posts and felt like crying because i thought i was alone in this. For the past 5 years i have had constant bloating, hair loss, fatigue. All symptoms of thyroid but yet the tests always come back normal. I've tried everything from candida diets, homeopathy, accupuncture, reflexology. the list goes on. I've spent £4000 (aprox $8000) on different practitioners with no results. The doctors in the uk dont have any answers, they dont believe my symptoms and always fob me off with the diagnosis IBS because they dont know what it is. They humour me by testing for thyroid. I've paid for major bacteria testing and results were clear. someone suggested hormonal in a previous post? Maybe going on the contaceptive pill would help.
There has to be an answer out there, didnt realise there was so many people with the same problem with me, the doctor asked me if i was stressed and depressed...i told her the only thing that depressed me is having this problem!
1) I am curious to know if anyone who has been clinically diagnosed with IBS-(C or D) been 'cured' of their symptoms.
2)For those with bloating/distention, if you use an abdominal garment (those that are to be used after lipo for example), does it help with your symptoms?I am curious if the weakness of the abdominal muscles compound to this bloating issue.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
Hi Everyone,
I have had this for about 5 months now. The excessive bloating in which you think your stomach will rip apart at the seams. I have read all the other posts and even though I am glad I am not alone it seems as if there is no clear cut answer as well.
A little brief history here. I had been having pelvic pain for 7 months. Then extreme pelvic pain which sent me to Emergency and long story short an ovarian cyst that had burst. The Dr. put me on birth control pills to stop me ovulating so I wouldn't get the cysts anymore. However the pelvic pain did not go away and on top of that I was getting headaches and dizziness. Also the excessive bloating started and not being able to eat more than a few bites of food. As well as nausea. The Dr.'s were stumped. Too many problems all going on at once. Plus some outside stresses. My Mom was diagnosed with Cancer around the later part of my symptoms.
My Dr. put me in the hospital so we could speed up the process and find what was wrong. At this point I could hardly function. I had numerous tests done in the hospital. I had a laparoscopy done and they found scar tissue on my ovary and uterineal ligament. They took that out. I left the hospital shortly after that. The pelvic pain is now gone. Hurray. They put me on Prevacid a stomach acid reducer and I could finally take more than a couple bites of food. I could actually eat regular meals. But the excessive bloating still continues and now I am gaining alot of weight in a short period of time and not really eating too much in a day. Just a regular amount of food.
I also feel like I am 5 months pregnant. I have 3 kids to look after and I eat very little during the day so I don't suffer the bloating as much. I need to look after them. After I eat supper it gets worse and I can't usually sleep because my stomach is so bloated it makes it awkward. I have pain sometimes on my left lower side as others have mentioned. Usually when I am extremely bloated it happens more or becomes more chronic. This bloating is everyday all the time. I wake up bloated and it just gets worse throughout the day. I find the headaches come when I haven't eaten and that triggers the dizziness so I have to at least eat small snacks throughout the day. It doesn't matter what food I eat I always bloat. Even with drinking water.
So as we have narrowed down some symptoms and their causes I can plainly see that I have some sort of digestive problem. The Dr. thinks it is Celiac's. Which I have seen posted here. But I eat mostly wheat products and leaving them out of my diet does not make me feel any better and eating them doesn't make me feel worse. Everything makes me feel worse.
I have a Gastroscope scheduled for Wed. and they will take a biopsy to check for celiac's which I should get the results in about 2 weeks after its done. Then I have a colonoscopy scheduled for the end of Nov. Other than that they have run every other test there is with no luck to find the problem. I do have polys on my gall bladder that the Gastro Dr. will evaluate. I will ask her about the slow gastric emptying thing that someone mentioned earlier. Taking Prevacid certainly wouldn't help if I had that problem.
I WILL write back on Wed. and let you know if they found anything or not on the Gastroscope. I just want this to be over. The chronic uncomforableness of this bloating is wrecking havoc on my life and does get very discouraging. My Dr. also told me if we don't find anything wrong after all these tests then he will chaulk it up to IBS. Can you believe that. I don't just want an answer. I want the right answer.
Hang in there everyone. And please write if you have had some results. Knowledge can only make us stronger.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
I posted a month ago, on 9/28. Since the post, my daughter has been seen by an allergist at the Children's Hospital. Allergies came back positive for milk, soy, rice, rye, peanuts, bananas, carrots, melons, potatoes, cucumber, corn, chicken, pork, and all by-products..meaning she can't have soy lecithin (found in nearly everything), nor dairy, nor corn syrup, etc. The positive result for the milk made me doubt the test because just a few months ago, she had a breath test (hydrogen test where they test your exhaled air that you blow in a bag) and the test came out negative for being lactose intolerant, but the doc said that it was the most prominent allergy of the group...which explains why she had reflux and couldn't handle breast milk or formula as an infant. I switched her to soy when she was 4 months old, and she didn't tolerate that either...which I now know why...she's also allergic to soy. I'm determined, though, to find the root of her allergies. It's basically a food intolerance, not full blown allergy, because she doesn't break out in hives; she just gets extremely bloated, constipated, and has severe stomach distention. But, she's like that all day, it just gets worse as the day progresses. I've been researching like crazy and think that her allergies might be caused by a poor digetive tract. She may have 'leaky gut' syndrome; this is where the intestinal lining is porous and undigested foods leak out of the intestine and into the blood stream...not good and can cause your body to react with distention, pain, etc. I'm going to have her checked for 'leaky gut' and also for low HCl and pepsin levels..HCl (hydrochloric acid) and pepsin are responsible for breaking down protein, etc and because she may have low levels, it may be causing her bloating as well. I'm so frustrated with the doctors, though. How come I'm the one doing all the research? Oh, speaking of which, when I was researching, I came across a website that talked about the benefits of sprouts on our digestive system. I'm seriously thinking of getting an automatic sprouter and some organic seeds (brocolli, alfalfa, and others along with wheatgrass) and then growing the sprouts myself and blending them with orange juice for her. In the one week we've known about her allergies, we've kept her on foods that she was not allergic to. In addition, I'm having her take an acidophilus pill, a super-digestive enzyme pill, and a papaya enzyme pill daily. She weighed 72 lbs two weeks ago and now weighs 70 lbs (she turned 7 in July and been at the 95th percentile with regards to her weight since she was born) I'll track the weight loss and let you know how it goes. She mentioned that the pain in her stomach went away. She hasn't had pain now in three days.

Momofthree, I looked into the differences and similarities between 'leaky guy',celiac disease, and IBS, and found an online article somewhat helpful that I've attached in this post. Also, I'm interested to see how things go for you. I'll check back on Wednesday to read your update. Copy and paste this link, http://thefooddoc.blogspot.com/2007/01/ ... en-in.html, into your web browser. In summary, it states that 'leaky gut' can occur from gluten even in absence of celiac disease. Check your Zonulin levels, because these levels are increased in celiac disease. Also, excessive and long term gluten exposure also affects zonulin in non-celiac intestine. The result is an increased gut permeability (or leaky gut). Hope all goes well for you.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
The negative result only means your daughter produces the lactase enzyme, thus not lactose intolerant, this is not the same thing as having an allergy to milk, so I would suggest you do not second guess the hospitals results.
It just amazes me when mothers play doctor with their offspring, as if the internet gives you a medical degree. Why oh why would you need to supplement enzymes that the body produces normally? Enzyme deficiency is rather uncommon, and if there was a lacking enzyme it could be easily tested for by medical professionals. SImple lab test can determine if enzymes are present such as amylase and lipase.
Supplemental enzymes when eaten, are digested just like other proteins and will do nothing , other than support the makers of these magic pills.
By an alternative med practioner no doubt as the medical community does not support this condition.
Do your daughter a favor and seek true medical doctors that actually went to med school.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
MichaelXY, I appreciate your feedback, but I think you need to check your facts. In the above email, you criticized me for trying to take matters into my own hands and for relying on the internet to supply me with information and then inferred that 'leaky gut' is an alternative medicine and not recognized by real doctors. I found it ironic that you tried to back up this last comment by referring to none other than.. an internet link! Using your link above that you sent, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/leaky_gut_syndrome, I checked the references of the story only to receive confirmation that I may be onto something. Scroll down to the bottom of the story and click on the 5th reference, called, 'leaky gut syndrome'. This is what it says:
"Leaky gut syndrome develops at times because of the formation of a lesion along the lining of the intestinal walls and this may make the wall very permeable than it normally is to the substances contained within it- in other words it is leaky and hence the name of the disorder, leaky gut syndrome. The spaces between the cells of the gut wall are enlarged to a very great extent and this enlargement allows the entrance of many types of organism such as bacteria, all sorts of pathogenic fungi, all kinds of intestinal parasites, many toxins and undigested protein, fat and waste material into the bloodstream-this will spread the inflammation further out into the body. Normally these substances are disposed off or eliminated in the stools but because of the damaged and now hyper-permeable and very leaky gut they pass easily into the blood and spread about the body.
The presence of many toxic chemicals and swelling because of the resulting inflammation leads to the blockage of many important nutrients into the body and also blocks the absorption of many more important nutrients like the vitamins, most of the essential minerals and many of the essential amino acids. The immune system produces a lot of antibodies to fight of the many large molecules which now pass through the intestinal walls and which are correctly seen as foreign antigens or substances by the immune system. A food allergy can be the result of this immune reaction as the immune system tries to ward off the foreign bodies within the body. An inflammatory reactions is thus triggered when any of these foods is eaten, the antibodies from the immune system get into many different tissues and trigger an inflammatory reaction within the body.
Supplements and herbs
Since the inflammation in the intestinal walls damages many of the carrier proteins found in the gastrointestinal tract, which are necessary for the transport of all sorts of minerals from the intestine into the blood-all kinds of mineral deficiencies begin to affect an individual suffering from the disorder. These conditions include as an example, a deficiency in the magnesium content similar to the symptoms occurring in a condition such as fibromyalgia, this deficiency can develop in a person suffering from a leaky gut syndrome even if a high magnesium intake is maintained through the diet and through the use of mineral supplements on a regular basis. An obvious magnesium deficiency can develop as a result of malabsorption where the symptoms of a leaky gut syndrome leads to damage in the carrier proteins used in the transport of magnesium through the intestinal walls. Spasms and extreme muscle pain often result because of this condition. In addition deficiencies in an important mineral like zinc result in a high blood cholesterol level, which may affect the person adversely. The improper absorption of essential minerals such as calcium, a trace mineral like boron, a mineral like silicon and manganese can lead to many kinds of bone disorders in the person.
The use of supplemental antioxidants can help fight the destruction of tissues brought on by the inflammation which affects all the tissues. Most of the various antioxidant supplements which are effective against the inflammation include all the natural carotenoids, essential nutrients such as the vitamin A, a chemical compound like rutin, the citrus based hesperidins, the compound quercetin, the class of compounds called catechin, seed extracts of the grape, the compound pycnogenol and the bilberry herb. The other essential antioxidants that can be used during treatment also include the vitamins C and E and many of the various sulfur-containing amino acids including cysteine, the form called N-acetyl-cysteine, the amino acid methionine and the reduced L-glutathione compound. Asthma and other allergic reactions triggered by the inflammation can be dealt with supplements of the essential vitamin, the vitamin C, which also protects the blood vessels from damaged sustained from the inflammation.
Leaky gut syndrome is also immensely alleviated by the supplementary use of many types of plant enzymes such as those found in abundant quantities in green food supplements like spirulina, the chlorella plant, in the barley greens, in the green kamut, in substances like bee pollen and in the royal jelly-all of these will prove to be effective and potent additives to the remedial measures taken against the symptoms of leaky gut syndrome.
A lowering in the production of the digestive hydrochloric acid in the stomach accompanies most types of autoimmune disorders and this is also evident during leaky gut syndrome. A lowering of the acid levels in the stomach during the condition results in the condition known as pernicious anemia and this resulting imbalance can only be rectified by regular injections of the vitamin B12 along with the folic acid. Hereditary factors may play a role in lowering the stomach acid levels, and this lowering of the stomach acid levels can also be brought about by the long term use of many over the counter prescription medications such as all kinds of antacids and anti-ulcer medications. The acid levels in the stomach can also be lowered as a result of persistent infection in the gut or due to factors such as food allergies, particularly to foods that are sourced from a dairy and this same allergies can arise from many wheat products. A variety of supplements can be tried in an attempt to correct a lowered stomach acid level that is known to exist purely because of hereditary reasons in the affected individual. Some of these supplements for use in this regard include the amino acid-glutamic acid, the chemical hydrochloride, the compound betaine hydrochloride, the digestive enzyme pepsin, some apple cider vinegar, some lemon juice, stomach bitters, nutrients like the vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) and the vitamin C, the organic compound PABA (paraminobenzoic acid) and the vitamin B6, pyridoxine hydrochloride-all of these will prove to be of great supplementary benefit to the affected individual.
The carrier protein that transports magnesium is damaged during disorders like the leaky gut syndrome, this is despite of the very high intake of the essential mineral magnesium through the diet and via regular supplementation-this can result in serious deficiencies of the mineral within the body of the affected individual. Impaired absorption of the mineral magnesium results in a the development of a magnesium deficiency within the body. As a long term result of this deficiency, spasms and muscle pain begin to affect the person and cause a great deal of discomfort besides other symptoms. The deficiency of another essential mineral namely zinc also occurs in a similar manner due to an improper absorption of the mineral form the diet, this results in symptoms such as rapid hair loss or baldness that resembles the type of symptoms which occurs in another condition called alopecia areata. Similarly, identical impaired absorption of the mineral copper can lead to very high blood-cholesterol levels and this can easily complicate things for the individual. Bone problems can also occur as the impaired absorption of important minerals like calcium, boron, silicon and manganese are also evident-all these minerals are important for healthy bones.
The impaired absorption of many vital vitamins and essential amino acids can result due to the inflammation and swelling -edema present in the body of the affected individual along with the presence of many types of noxious chemicals-these create blockages in the transport of vital nutrients into the body and absorptive systems in the body go out of control leading to deficiencies in many vital nutrients. The proper absorption of nutrients is often the first casualty of a leaky gut syndrome. Physical symptoms like abdominal bloating, the production of excess gas and painful muscular cramps begins immediately as a result of these multiple mineral deficiencies. On a gradual manner the person begins to suffer from different systemic complaints such as persistent physical fatigue, the presence of constant headaches, the loss of memory, a very poor ability to concentrate and constant emotional irritability.
The anti-inflammatory compounds such as prednisone, prednisolone, dexamethasone and betamethasone are commonly used and prescribed corticosteroid medications that function in blocking the pro-inflammatory chemical mediators in the body including the compounds such as histamine, some of the prostaglandins and the compounds called leukotrienes. Scientists believe that these compounds are responsible for the pain, the swelling, the redness and the eventual scarring reactions that induce fibrosis like actions within the human body. All of these pro-inflammatory compounds within the body are involved in some way in the autoimmune diseases such as the disorder called lupus, the condition called idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura or ITP for short, in rheumatoid arthritis, in Crohn's disease, in the condition known as ulcerative colitis, in multiple sclerosis, in thyroiditis and in vasculitis, therefore the compound called prednisone is used to reduce the impact of the serious effects these pro-inflammatory compound have on the body. These chemical mediators are also involved in the development of allergic conditions such as asthma, during condition like psoriasis and in eczema. These conditions are also often dealt through the corticosteroid pills or topical creams as well and these are normally prescribed to individuals affected by these conditions.
The price paid for the reduction of the inflammation using compounds like prednisone and other steroid medications is huge even though they are very effective in bringing about a reduction in the inflammation affecting the individual. The main adverse affect is that these medications cripple the immune system when they are used over a very long period of time. Unwanted weight gain, the retention of fluid, a tremendous increase in appetite, a heightened risk of infection setting in, problems like depression, elevation of blood pressure or high blood pressure, disorders such as diabetes, the formation of ulcers, the development of acne, fatigue and weak muscles, problems like osteoporosis, persistent insomnia and an increased risk of blood clot formation are all unwanted side effects of long term use of these compounds. The use of different types of antioxidants, the hydrochloric acid, many kinds of enzymes and herbal supplements is the only alternative to the continued use of prednisone and other corticosteroids.
Tissue damage is often the long term result of the inflammatory response which creates a lot of oxidative damage to the tissues, the careful use of all types of antioxidants will help prevent tissue damage-which can lead to permanent dysfunction in the vital tissues if occurring over a long period of time. Various vitamins such as the natural carotenoids – the class of compounds known as carotenes, lycopenes etc, the vitamin A, the plant based natural compounds called bioflavonoids such as rutin, citrus based hesperidins, the compound quercetin, catechin and the proanthocyanidins (grape seed extract, the pine bark extract, the bilberry herb and others grouped into the term pycnogenols, the vitamins C and E, and all the sulfur containing amino acids such as cysteine, the N-acetyl-cysteine form of cysteine, the amino acid methionine and the reduced L-glutathione are all excellent and effective antioxidants for use as an alternative to the corticosteroids. The coenzyme Q10, all the B complex vitamins, particularly the folic acid and the vitamin B12, along with the essential mineral selenium, the essential mineral zinc and the hormones like DHEA and melatonin can also play effective roles as antioxidants-all of them can be used in supplementary form to prevent tissue damage caused by oxidative reactions. Super foods like the green plant supplements such as spirulina, chlorella, the barley green and the kamut are excellent in phytochemicals and contain important plant enzymes, used along with bee pollen and royal jelly and with various herbs they will prove to be very potent antioxidants and are great in supplementary support of the affected individual.
Many enzymes such as the enzyme pancreatin which is an animal derived pancreatic digestive enzymes, many plant enzymes such as bromelain derived from pineapples aid the digestion of proteins in the gastrointestinal tract. These enzymes have also shown an ability as anti-inflammatory chemical mediators similar in action to some of the prostaglandins and leukotrienes found naturally in the human body-these enzymes can be used as effective supplements to alleviate the condition in the affected individuals.
Deficient production of the hydrochloric acid in the stomach is the usual symptom associated with most types of autoimmune disorders in the human body. A lot of nutrient deficiencies can result due to the two forms of deficient stomach acid, these are achlorhydria-or no acid production and hypochlohydria or a low acid production, the presence of one of these conditions is enough to induce many types of nutrient deficiency in the affected individual. As most high protein foods require the presence of sufficient acid for their digestion-the presence of one of these conditions in the body will create numerous problems for the person. Poor absorption of vital amino acids, essential vitamins and minerals result when the acid levels are absent or very low in the stomach. The deficiency of the vitamin B12 is the most usually and easily recognized nutrient deficiency brought on by low or little stomach acid production. Problems such as pernicious anemia is often the first result of such a absorption rate and this situation can often only be rectified by the regular supplementation of vitamin B12 through injections."
Did you get the part on digestive enzymes and HCl levels? And did you get the part about Prednisone and other prescriptive drugs that are commonly presribed?
I'm all for utilizing our medical professionals first. However, we trusted our pediatrician for 3 years who said she might have a wheat allergy and to switch to rice products as an alternative. Well, it came back, years later, that it is RICE that she's allergic to. (BTW, this is the same pediatrician who told me there was absolutely no link between the MMR vaccination and Autism. The verdict is still out,) but the point is, physicians are tainted by the money they make from their insurance providers. Some medical groups actually get bonused for not prescribing treatments or taking the initiative to diagnose illnesses. The place we go now is CHOC. The Children's Hospital of Orange County is a reputable hospital, so one would think they have reputable doctors. My pediatrician was not from CHOC. Nonetheless, my concern is that chronic conditions that have generic symptoms often go unnoticed and either undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Noone knows their kids better than their parents, and I know something is wrong. The trouble is that there is a lack of urgency from medical professionals.
On another note, I spoke with a client today who said she owns a holistic medicine/supplement franchise and that she and one of her children had bad food allergies/intolerances until she avoided the foods and started to introduce other foods. She also mentioned that she was not breast fed, nor did she breast feed her daughter because of the lack of milk that came in and went straight to formulas and quickly to cow's milk and Stage1 food. She said that my daughter may have a weak intestinal tract and digestive system because it was compromised at an early age (I had done the same thing...milk didn't come, so I went to formula.) She said the excess food permeates from the intestine into the blood system, and that's where symptoms like bloating, distention, GERD, etc may have started. Look, I don't pretend to know the answers...I'm just desperately trying to find them. I don't get follow up calls from the docs, either. By blogging on forums like this, I'm trying to relay my story. I've read everyone else's entry. Am I saying doctor's aren't worthy of respecting, not entirely...Am I saying that I have all the answers and should play doctor instead, no. But sometimes doing nothing at all and taking the doctors generic guesses at something just doesn't suffice. I will, however, talk to a dietician about the supplements and make sure they are okay to give to my daughter with the conditions she has.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
Jennuan- thanks for the info on leaky gut and such. I will file it away in my brain with all the other questions I have and hopefully talk to the specialists about it. I am sorry to hear about your daughter. It is very frustrating as a parent to watch your child be sick and to wait for the medical system get around to you. And no the Dr.'s don't always have the right answers. They are human too. I feel if we can trigger some idea in them that maybe they are not thinking about then what is wrong with that. For us we are dealing with symptoms that don't seem to have an easy answer. It would be nice if they could do a blood test and say Oh, you have this, and here is a pill to fix it. But for us it won't be that easy or hasn't been so far.
I had the gastroscopy yesterday. They found that my stomach and small intestine were normal. (Sigh) The DR. took several biopsy's though and will send them away and in 2 or 3 weeks I should know whether I have Celiac's or whatever else they are testing for. I am glad I don't have anything wrong but sad that I have something wrong somewhere and this just makes the process longer. I have my colonosopy at the end of Nov. So within 2 weeks after my gastro results I should have the colonoscopy results as well. If neither test comes up with anything then I think I am in trouble. I think the Dr.'s and I will have to start over again. I wish for it all to go away.
I will hang in there and try to stay as positive as I can.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
Exactly what facts should I check?
The wiki article simply cited its reference to what leaky guts is purported to be. This is in no way a validation that leaky gut is a legitimate illness recognized by the medical community.
Consider the source you cited, a Herbal supplement supplier. I have no doubt such a website would make claims that their magic pills will cure all your ailments, big surprise here.
Since food suppliments like those advertised on your cited source are under no regulation, they can print all sorts of claims.
Big shock here Hmm, snake oil salesman have not dissappeared, only changed their title.
If someone was suffering from malabsorption (Or this leaky gut thing) they would have all sorts of problems. Vomiting, weight loss (Not gain, don't confuse with bloating), diarrhea, loss of muscle tone, problems with nervous system. In general they would become very ill.
Your cited website leaves one to believe that they can cure a life threatning illness with a simple supplement.
Consider this, if your body is unable to digest minerals, fats, carbs, and protein, then how on earth would the body be able to utilize something ingested in the form of a pill?
You are literally pooping money down the toilet.
Re: Stomach bloating and weight gain
MichaelXY, I appreciate your concern and advice for me to see a physician, but really, you may be giving them way too much credit. You can say similar things about physicians that you can with a Holistic doc...They prescribe medicine/treatment based on their own guidelines within their own realm of medicine. The difference is that physicians are licensed "practicing" physicians. Note the emphasis on 'practicing.' One could argue that you can sue them if things go terribly wrong, but look at how much paperwork patients have to sign before being seen...much of which is about litigation and responsibility. Doctors and hospitals don't want the responsibility..That's why they make you agree to go to mediation or arbitration instead of being able to try them by jury. You don't sign the paperwork, you don't get seen..paperwork is incomplete. I've done it and have been forced to waive my rights to sue should something go wrong. Then, you look at how much the pharmaceutical companies are tied in with hospitals and clinics. More often than not, there are serious complications linked to manmade drugs than with natural remedies. Our bodies are not well equipped to handle harsh chemicals of any kind. So why is is that doctors can't prescribe herbal medicine? Because they get big bucks from pharmaceutical companies? highly likely. Because herbal medicine has not been approved by the FDA? maybe, and why is this? Because herbal manufacturing companies don't make specific claims - they make general claims like, "improves cardiovascular health" vs "decreases risk of heart attack." Synthetic pharmaceuticals have only been used recently. Our culture is pharma dominant. But 300,000 people die each year from the "proper" use of medicines. No one dies from herbs. They are much safer. And much cheaper. So why doesn't everyone use herbs? On a global level, most people do - there are 5 billion people out there using medicines from plants. We're the weirdos that think mass producing harsh chemicals actually heals people better and faster than herbs. Why don't we use more herbs here in the U.S. when many pharmaceutical drugs were originally made from plants? Because in the U.S. herbs must be sold as supplements. It's all money driven. Pharmaceutical companies can mass produce chemicals a lot faster than creating supplement pills from natural resources. Anyhow, I appreciate your concern, but I've read now most of your posts and have started to think maybe you're related to the medical industry somehow...I don't know what to say other than I'm in desperate need of answers. I'll continue to have my daughter undergo diagnostic testing at the hospital, but I'm becoming more convinced that I'll seek out treatment - naturally.

Record-setting Koss making her point
DELAVAN -- Kori Koss didn't have any idea what was happening when officials stopped last year's late-season game and Athletic Director Matthew Eby addressed the crowd.
Read the current edition here: http://www.server-jbmultimedia.net/CSI-WalworthCountySunday
It�turns out the junior point guard had established a single-season school record for total points, helping Wisconsin School for the Deaf to a 72-54 victory and besting Tanya Perry's mark of 359 set in 1993-'94.
"I was shocked," Koss said recently through sign language interpreter Paola Lopez. "I didn't know. It was in the first quarter and they stopped the game and everybody was looking at me."
Plenty of fans will keep an eye on Koss during her senior season at WSD after she earned honorable mention status on the annual all-Walworth County girls basketball team and made the Indian Trails Conference first unit.
Read the complete story HERE.

East Troy
The Trojans finished 26-2 and advanced to the D-3 state championship contest. It was the Trojans' second consecutive trip to state, having lost in the semifinals in 2012.
That nice run featured the likes of Breanna Gaspervich, Alicia Oleson, Andrea Olsen and Rachel Atchison, who combined to average almost 54 ppg last season. Gaspervich has moved onto Northern Michigan after surpassing the 1,000-point mark.
Sophomore Katrina Santos (3.6) is the top returning scorer.
The Whippets return their two best players after finishing second in the Rock Valley North with a 13-3 record, winding up 20-4 overall.
Senior Brooke Trewyn made the first team after leading the conference in scoring (20.7) and rebounding (10.4), while junior Sarah Schumacher (9.6), junior Kailey Reynolds (9.3) and senior Dani Dolan (5.7), honorable mention picks, also return.
The Panthers were 4-12 in RVC South play and 9-14 overall, but they lost their top player, first-teamer Sam Morateck (12.3), to graduation, as well as honorable mention selections Caitlyn Rautsaw (6.0) and Kristine Watts (4.0).
Badger must replace three key cogs from its 16-8 squad: first-team pick Karina Reeves (12.8), second-team choice Tristan Sproul (7.0) and honorable mention selection Stephanie Espinosa (4.3).
Senior Kortlyn Freeman (2.5) and junior Lilly Quinn (5.4) return.
The Comets return senior second-teamer Kylie Collins (13.6), although they must replace honorable mention pick Amanda McLernon (7.5).
To better their 1-13 league and 3-20 overall showings, DDHS needs sophomore Jennah Speth (3.8) and seniors Avery Hembrook (2.6) and Megan Butke (2.4) to pick up the slack.
The Elks will rely heavily on senior Erin Schahczinski, who made the first team after averaging 12.1 ppg. However, honorable mention selection Jessica Hauser (9.9) has graduated.
Elkhorn finished 7-7 in league play and 11-13 overall and could move up if it turns around five games that it lost by six or fewer points.
The Elks also will need junior Abbie Kolacke (5.4) to carry more of the load.
Williams Bay
The Bay tied for last place in the Trailways South at 1-13, going 5-17 overall with a lineup that included honorable mention selections Josie Bauscher (8.3) and Claire Canda (9.3).
Williams Bay's top returnees include junior EmmaLynn Meyers (7.6) and senior Kameron Brown (3.1).
