Hello Guys,
It has been a while since I posted on here. Right now I'm doing well on minocyline. Minocyline is an antibiotic for the treatment of RA. Some people believe RA to be caused by a bacteria/virus termed mycroplasmas. You can get more information on this by clicking the following link:
However, this isn't my main reason for posting this message. If anyone has ever read my post before, I usually post about research happenings with regards to RA. I have found out some new research that some of you may be unaware of; thus, the reason of this posting. The following information is valid and I will provide the links for your convenience. About two weeks ago, I found that there was an experiment being conducted with this cancer drug known as Gleevec. Researchers from Standford University completely stopped the progression of RA in rats. The usefulness of Gleevec was found by accident. Patients that had cancer and RA had significant improvements in their RA when taking the drug to treat their cancer. This led the researchers to experiment with this drug. Rats were treated with Gleevec and then researchers attempted to induce RA in these rats: it didnt happen. Another study was conducted...the rats were given RA, and then treated with Gleevec: it completely stopped all symptoms of the disease. The study was conducted in partnership with the Arthritis Foundation. The drug may be availabe for RA very soon because it has been used for some time in patients with cancer and has a good safety profile. Here is the link for your convenience:

Another topic I wanted to address is new research as to the CAUSE of RA. Ofcouse, if we know the cause, we can then CURE this awful disease. Researchers from Japan may have made this significant find. Researchers found that a buildup of waste DNA causes RA in rats. Rats were induced with drugs that prevented them from making the necessary enzyme that breaks down waste DNA. As a result, the rats presented symptoms of RA with blood indicators and inflammation that matches human RA EXACTLY. This is significant as researchers would only have to make a drug that helps the body make more of this enzyme or have a drug that is synthesized of parts that resembe this enzyme artificially.

Other drugs that are coming out in 2007-08 are
There are others, but have lost the information on my desktop. If you want to know more just let me know. Also, if you want to know more about the anitibiotic protocol im on, please let me know. There are multiple thousands of people on the AP protocol. It isnt a hoax treatment. There have been studies by the National Institute of Health using the Antibiotic Protocol. Remissions aren't uncommon using this method of treatment. There is information on the website I provided detailing this information. I have been on the treatment for 3 months and have no swollen joints, only mild pain and stiffness. The best results are said to occur in the 6-8 month. Please email me if you have questions, I would love to speak with you about this information. As always, I wish you the best of health...here is my email address:
