Which of these autoimmune issues is
the worst? |
|
"Examples
of autoimmune disorders or diseases with an autoimmune
component are:
Crohn's,
Lupus, Diabetes, Endometriosis, Psoriasis, Ulcerative
colitis, Myxodema,
Multiple Sclerosis,
*
Parkinson's,
Scleroderma, Fibromyalgia, Hashimotos, Grave's,
Allergies.
CFIDS, FM, CFIDS, ME" |

Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease

SSG
James Alford

was diagnosed in June 2003 with
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, a rare and fatal brain
disorder that leads to progressive dementia and
neuromuscular deficits

I suspect
* for SSG James Alford of
Karnack, TX who died December, 2008 of 'mad cow disease' ...
actually the most serious autoimmune issue that trumps even ALS,
Guillain-Barré syndrome,
Parkinson's, MS |
Lou Gehrig's Disease
ALS
One of the things
that happened to 'gulf war syndrome' vets |
"ALS is a
rapidly progressive neuromuscular disease caused by the
destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
This causes the loss of nervous control of voluntary
muscles, resulting in the degeneration and atrophy of the
muscles. Eventually the respiratory muscles are affected
which leads to death from an inability to breathe."

Guillain-Barré syndrome:
an autoimmune disease that
damages sensory and motor nerves," Dr. Armond Goldman, an
emeritus professor in the Department of Pediatrics at UTMB |
The paralysis which struck
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) in 1921 was not caused by
poliomyelitis, as has been universally assumed by physicians
and historians, according to researchers from the University
of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). They believe that the most
likely cause of FDR's paralysis was Guillain-Barré
syndrome.

Franklin Delano

President, mention a time when he had
flu-like symptoms?

The History
Channel Documentary 4-23-05 and 4-24-05,
FDR: A
Presidency Revealed talked about things
that would be like what overexposure to
2-butoxyethanol would cause:
*
enlarged heart,
many horrible
HEADACHES
- some at the base of the head,
tired,
ashen/pale color, difficulty finishing
thoughts in sentences (short term memory
loss),
difficulty
concentrating. Also
high blood pressure
(180/105), rapid weight loss (liver?)
Repeated headaches.
Headaches were intensifying
4-11-45 as he
went to bed he was 'shivering'
(chills?) Chills?
Chills?
After an acute
headache at the back of his head, he
collapsed on 4-12-45 and died a few hours
later. It is reported that he died of a
cerebral hemorrhage ... was there an
autopsy? NO! If it was advanced stages of
the fatigue of CFIDS ... the doctors would
not have found it. They still don't even
now - 60 + years later.
What we would call
CFIDS or 'gulf war
syndrome' today.
It is now suspected that he didn't have
polio,

Multiple Sclerosis: The
'Polio' of the 90s
|
MS is
generally considered an auto-immune disease, an allergic
reaction to oneself that eats away at the myelin sheaths
wrapped around nerve fibers. Sclerosis is the medical term
for lesion, and in MS multiple lesions form on the myelin,
which is akin to the plastic insulation surrounding
electrical wires. The myelin becomes inflamed and literally
begins to fray, short-circuiting nerve signals and leading
to the disease's physical and neurological symptoms. Good
diet helps.

Crohn's

Autoimmune?

Crohn's
disease is considered autoimmune
"Autoimmune
hemolytic anemia, a condition in which the immune system
attacks the red blood cells, is also more common in Crohn's
disease and may cause fatigue, pallor, and other symptoms
common in anemia."
Fever may also be
present

ITP is the destruction
of "thrombocytes" (clotting cells) by the immune system in
much the same manner as RBCs are destroyed in

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (Platelets)
Other autoimmune issues including
diabetes & spontaneous infertility
|
Clinical signs
of this disease include bruising; excessive bleeding
following trauma, at surgery, or during estrus; or
blood in the urine
or stool.
Before ITP can be
diagnosed, many more common diseases must be ruled out.
These include, but are not limited to, warfarin poisoning,
various clotting disorders (hemophilia, Von Willebrand's
disease), bladder or prostate infection or cancer, and
intestinal parasites. A CBC, platelet count, and clotting
profile are needed. A bone marrow biopsy is helpful as well,
and a Coomb's test may be run if other autoimmune diseases
are suspected.
Transfusion of fresh whole blood or of
platelet-rich plasma can be helpful in ITP

"Gamma globulin
may also be used to treat immunological diseases other
than deficiencies. For example, in immunological
thrombocytopenia purpura, the patient's antibodies attack
his or her own platelets, interfering with the blood's
ability to clot. Gamma globulin injections are useful in
treating this condition, though the mechanism by which they
work is not fully understood. The injections may cause the
spleen to ignore signals to destroy the antibody-tagged
platelets, or they may cause the malfunctioning gamma
globulin to degrade at an increased rate. In any case, the
extra gamma globulin counteracts the malfunctioning
antibodies that attack platelets and allows the platelets to
thrive." |

and can cause acute autoimmune
