Read our response to the Mayo Clinic Neurologist on CIDP

Autoimmune diseases have become the number one disease process and killer on Planet Earth. In  autoimmune diseases your own white cells start attacking your body organs. The attack is triggered by infections, surgery, accidents, inhalation of pollutants and stress.  A two week  targeted anti-inflammatory treatment can stop these diseases or alter their course. Arthritis, stiffness, mental disorders, heart problems, skin diseases, facial palsy, asthma, hearing disorders are all autoimmune.

                         A gene in the British Royal Family triggers autoimmune diseases.

If your disease has good & bad days, and it is progressive, consider it as a autoimmune disorder. If the disease started after pregnancy, surgery, car accidents, toxic exposure or living close to a dump, its autoimmune. Don't wait, the sooner you treat the better the results. After the termination of pregnancy a increased autoimmune attack is seen and many autoimmune diseases are triggered including Vasculitis, depression and PTSD.

P.T.S.D. (post traumatic stress disorder), depression, anxiety, O.C.D (obsessive compulsive disorder), heart disease, bowel, kidney, breathing and skin disorders, memory loss & epilepsy are all immune mediated.  Sudden onset of hearing loss, visual disorders, erectile dysfunction & infertility are all immune mediated. Get quick prevention & treatment guidelines in our e-book. Book helps change the way you live, joint pains relived, memory improves, sleep is better.

Arthritis, vasculitis, Alzheimer's, Lupus, Asthma, Chronic Pain, Prostatis, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia , hair loss, hair falling out are all treatable. We have regrown hair in completely bald men with simple medications.

Young women  with undiagnosed problems please read about Dysautonomia in section three on this page.

Autoimmune diseases can  start after food poisoning, enteritis,  vaccination, chemical exposure, injury, surgery, severe exercise or exposure to mold and  accidents. Those people who eat less nuts have more autoimmune diseases. In women chronic pains  and autoimmune diseases usually starts after a cesarean section or hysterectomy. They think that hot flashes are due to hormone deficiency.

Below is a description of a common autoimmune nerve disorder and for other diseases please see our disease section.   .

  Tingling  numbness in the toes can be Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Poly neuropathy. (a common symptom of treatable neuropathy or Polyneuropathy. Diabetics have a higher incidence of CIDP). A super expert medical professional can diagnose this on the first visit without any electro-diagnostic help..

       Any 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 some spinal cord involvement.  On rare occasions, cranial nerves are involved and their symptoms range from difficulty in swallowing to double vision and numbness involving the face. Cognitive skills are not affected by CIDP. Most people believe that their knee or ankles or hip joints have a problem. Many patients have muscle and spinal involvement and do not look like classical CIDP.

  Early in the course of CIDP, the person has to use their hands to go upstairs or rise from the squatting position, these are signs of legs becoming weaker. Some have difficulty to maintain their blood pressure, burning sensations like, (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. Complex regional pain syndrome) are more likely to be CIDP. Chronic narcotics suppress the immune functions and end up making CIDP worse. 

Diabetic neuropathy is more 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.

Individuals are 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. Dr King Engle in Los Angles has helped  such patients who came in wheelchairs and in two months were walking. Untreated CIDP can turn into ALS.

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 permanent  sensory deficit. Which may be worse then the original disease. I have seen people who are worse off due to nerve  biopsy. Dr. Katz  in San Francisco has said that Leprosy may be the only reason to do a nerve biopsy.

Finding of inflammation on the nerve biopsy, although rare, definitely confirms the diagnosis. However, the absence of inflammation does not entirely rule it 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. I find this unnecessary.

For those in whom this procedure has to be done. The best technique is described by a Austrian team. Where they only remove a 10mm piece of the Sural nerve and reattach the stumps by microsurgical repair. They claim none of their patients had any complaints of pain or sensory loss.

However Massachusetts General Hospital has come off with a novel idea of doing a skin biopsy instead of a nerve biopsy. This provides more information in small fiber neuropathies and is less invasive.

 According to Dr. Jonathan Katz the best test for CIDP is to give treatment and see if the patient responds to the treatment. (This saves time and money.)  Howard W. Sander, MD and Norman Latov, MD PhD  have said , "although patients may not meet the diagnostic criteria for inclusion in clinical trials of CIDP, they may still benefit from current and future treatments used in CIDP". So doctors Please Don't follow guidelines of ANA!

 Dr Dalakas  has mentioned the1 gm/kg  loading dose given over 2 days. I think this dose is reserved for infants & healthy people . Generally a 5 day infusion of 400mg/kg/day is used. In senior citizens a 5 alternate day treatment is used, which is tailored for the patient, according to the disease. I have even used intra  muscular & subcutaneous IVIG injections to reverse CIDP in three days with a much lower IVIG dose. 

   Our E-book has the complete step by step protocol, for diagnosis of all the seven sub types of CIDP and 101 autoimmune diseases. Their treatment, with  FDA approved off-label pharmaceuticals. Alternative supplements which help you get back on the feet. These protocols covers diseases like Alzheimers , CIDP, MS and Pemphigus, just to name a few!  Brain involvement in CIDP is seen and sometimes misdiagnosed as MS.

For long term treatment interferon (Cellcept, Cyclosporine,  Cyclophosphamide, Methotrexate are used ) This group of drugs suppress the immune system.  Severe immune suppression can lead to other problems (cancer) . IVIg and Cyclosporine  combination is described successfully in several reports. Steroids are only used for short term benefits. Some Centers are using Avonex, Enbrel, Remicade and Rituxan. From early reports all of these drugs works well, recently a novel pharmaceutical has been seen to help CIDP! Which  is a cheap alternative to the current arsenal. (answer in our e-book).

CIDP responds to prednisone the side effects of this medication have to be considered for long term use. Acute short term it is helpful. Oral prednisone takes about 30 days to show an effect reported by Dr. Jonathan Katz. Intravenous pulse steroids nearly reach the efficacy of IVIg, without many side effects.

Can CIDP be cured?  Yes without IVIg we have cured CIDP many times. The first report of CIDP cure was reported after a tonsillectomy, currently the Government (NIH) is investigating if stem cell transplant will solve the problem. Jennifer who is the first stem cell transplant patient  in USA is described in story number three.

We provide exclusive service for  treatment of all autoimmune disorders. Why run around docs who run 10 tests and don't have a diagnosis. By that time we would have you cured.

Individuals who carry a diagnosis of Post Polio syndrome benefit from CIDP treatments, as they actually have CIDP. Currently there are case reports that IVIg has even helped patients with C.M.T disease, lumbar and brachial neuritis ( weak thighs and weak arms cannot comb your hair or cannot get out of a chair), transverse Myelitis ( both the legs are weak & stiff). Diabetic Amyotrophy  (weak legs in a diabetic) is considered to be a vasculitis (inflammation) and is responsive to immune treatments as seen in ten different studies.

(C.M.T. or Charcot Marie Tooth disease, the legs look like inverted wine bottles or stork legs)

The Greatest doctor of all times Hippocrates said, the human body should be treated as a whole and not in parts, as is being routinely done. The CIDP autoimmune clinic works on the Hippocratic principal. One treatment plan for all your medical disorders.

Narcotics & antidepressants are not the best way to treat CIDP or autoimmune  patients. Avicenna (Ibn Cenna), in his encyclopedia of medicine wrote that it is best for the patient that the cause of their disease be treated. Pain medication do not treat the cause nor do antidepressants.  The Narcotics will cause immune suppression. Any sick patient will be depressed, one needs to treat the disease not the symptoms. Once the disease is treated, then depression and pain will go away.

Help yourself please read the diet section. We are all suffering due to pollution and a poor diet. Need to detoxify.

All the above info is taken from research literature available at the National Library of Medicine in Washington DC.

If you have a autoimmune disorder then avoid Vaccination!  If you have IgG sub class deficiency (frequent allergies, infections & fatigue) then stay away from tetanus and flu shots. Do not vaccinate or give polio drops to sick children, we have seen immediate deaths. Polio drops carry a live virus, these drops are not harmless. The kids who got polio are the ones who have gotten the drops. Please read the vaccination story of the girl who lives in Europe. The neurologist in her country testified in court that vaccine cannot cause CIDP, Pseudoscience or uninformed.

We have sold our e-book on nearly every continent of the world to satisfied readers, learn how to prevent autoimmune diseases before they start.

Eat a wholesome diet, pray, exercise, avoid toxins and think positively. No matter how many hurdles are thrown in your path, keep going life is not a bed of roses. No matter what difficulty you encounter just remember to thank God, do not worry, why worry about those affairs whom you cannot do anything about.  Keep smiling and learn to see beyond the news that comes on TV & newspapers.

There are two things which cause disease, infections & pollution.

 Every disease has a simple treatment available. Don't give your illness a chance call us, and we are waiting. Today IVIg treatment has been left in the dust! If you just learned about IVIg you are a centaury behind. Others are a centaury ahead of the cutting edge.

Autoimmune diseases behave like the stock market. Some days the disease is better and other days worse. (Remit & Relapse).

We feel that children who are not breast fed may get more exposure to infections during infancy. In the initial few days after birth the mothers milk provides the colostrum which is rich in IgG. This help fights infections .

  The first drug  used by humans has to be IgG. In the form of colostrum. This fact was known to ancient races. This is the cheapest form of immunoglobulin and a replacement for IVIG.

Higher incidence of autoimmune diseases is seen in winter months as people stay indoors and the air is dry and stale. There is  exposure to viruses indoor. To overcome this either moisten your nose five times a day in the winter or use a humidifier, try to use Heat exchanger to help refresh the air.

 There  is higher incidence of autoimmune disease in colder climates.  Northern half of  USA has a higher incidence and much lower in Florida. Research studies show that vitamin D levels and exposure to the Sun has some relationship. More information in our E-Book.

------------Important Read---------------         Autoimmune disorders rank number three but  We think unofficially they have obtained the number one rank. That is because heart disease has been shown to be secondary to inflammation.                              Alzheimer's is a  autoimmune disease proven by  phase one trials done by the FDA.

Women have a robust immune system about 75 percent of autoimmune diseases occur in women, most frequently during the childbearing years.  We see the immune system acting like a double edged sword.  Autoimmune illnesses occur more frequently after menopause, others  improve during pregnancy, flare-ups  can occur after delivery, while still others will get worse during pregnancy.

Sufferers of  these conditions experience an imbalance, in the autonomic nervous system - an imbalance termed dysautonomia.
The autonomic nervous system controls the “unconscious” bodily functions, such as heart rate, digestion, and breathing patterns. The autonomic nervous system consists of two parts: the sympathetic system and the parasympathetic system. The sympathetic system can best be thought of as controlling the “fight or flight” reactions of the body, producing the rapid heart rates, increased breathing, and increased blood flow to the muscles that are necessary when an individual is in danger or under stress.          The parasympathetic system controls the “quiet” body functions, for instance, the digestive system. In short, the sympathetic system gets the body ready for action, while the parasympathetic system gets the body ready for rest. In normal individuals, the parasympathetic and sympathetic components of the autonomic nervous systems are in perfect balance.
