I am apparently having cardiac problems that will be diagnosed in near future, as I am having some definite symptoms.
My dad, who is 78, suffers from horrible chronic pain from bone spurs in his cervical spine (neck), in which a second surgery has been ruled out, has Parkinson Disease, and has as a result of the bone spurs pinching his auditory nerves has 95% hearing loss. He also has pervasive degenerative osteoarthritis.
My mom, who is 77, suffers with repeated bouts of multiple lung infections that have not responded to any type of antibiotic therapy, and her 5 ft frame has sunk to 100 lbs, maybe less.
But there is good news for both of my parents; my father may be a good candidate for a Medtronic neuromodulation system for pain management, and as for my dear mother, although there are no clinics (but there is research going on) in the U.S. concerning Phage Therapy--which in the State of Georgia and in Poland, there is a 80-90% cure rate (one seriously ponders why on earth is this not being pursued here with all due diligence?)
I contacted Texas A&M's Phage Therapy Research Department in recent past, and they told me that there was hope it would be developed here in the U.S. once all the bugs were worked out of the treatment; but reading the email I received from A&M led me to believe the only reason Phage Therapy was not already being widely used here was because of the usual money-hungry squabble in the circle of pharmaceutical companies and of course, the CDC and the FDA jumping into the mix (yes, understand they need to make sure the treatment is safe, but you know the other). What a discourse of horror, to make people suffer needlessly.
My dear fellow Freepers, thank you so much if you would keep us in your prayers. I will do the same for you.
Phages are viruses that attack bacteria. Many decades ago, they were researched as therapeutics, but then antibiotics were discovered and research went in that direction.
Being that phages are viruses, they are very specific in their targets. For example, an E. coli phage attacks E. coli and no other bacteria. For this reason, treating infections with phages means you have to have a different phage for each infecting organism. Thus, in order to treat an infection, the bacterial species causing the infection have to be identified prior to treatment.
Antibiotics were more attractive from the start, because they are not very specific. A broad-spectrum antibiotic might be effective against all Gram-negative bacteria, not just E. coli. Thus, it is not necessary to identify the infectious agent prior to beginning treatment.
With antibiotic resistance on the rise, species-specific phages have become more attractive as therapeutic agents. At the least, the phages that attack bacteria known to be multi-antibiotic resistant would have therapeutic benefit.
Any phages considered for use as therapeutics still need to go through the same safety and efficacy testing in clinical trials as any other candidate drug. That process takes a minimum of ten years and hundreds of millions of dollars.
Anyway, prayers for you and your family.
All our prayers for your Mom and Dad
God Bless..
Prayers are extended but also a reminder.
Denial of the specifics or the urgency often goes along with the start of a serious cardiac event. You indicate you are showing symptoms from your comment, but are you putting off doing the correct thing? If you are having heart attack or stroke symptoms, call 911 and get to the emergency room now.
Prayers. Take care of yourself. Stress can cause many physical symptoms. I’ve been there and done that with both my parents in their final illnesses.
Prayers for You and Yours....
Prayers for you and your family
Any electronic product which you buy usually comes with an instruction booklet which says: Send only to authorized dealers for maintenance and repairs. Similarly, when something in your body or life breaks down, you go back to Jesus, your Creator and Maker.
“So . . .when some part of your body is not working properly, you go to Jesus who can fix it and even make it better than before!”
(Joseph Prince)
Prayers up
I am not a doctor and I am not giving medical advice. I am only reporting what worked for me. I have suffered from chronic lung infections since childhood. I have been hospitalized with pneumonia 9 times. I found a technique that I use to clear my lungs whenever conjestion starts.
Nebulizer plus a small amount of saline and hydrogen peroxide in a 3 saline to 1 hydrogen peroxide ratio. Twice daily till the lungs clear
It will burn the back of your throat so there is a bit of discomfort but it has worked well for me to break up any lung infection. I am of the opinion that it weakens the bugs and allows the body the chance to work.
I also recommend the pneumonia vaccine as soon as one is healthy to take it.
Your Family and you are in my Prayers. May God guide you to a perfect and healthy outcome. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
I will pray for strength and comfort for you and your parents.
Prayers up.
Prayers for your family, in Jesus name.
You cannot rely on your doctor to identify the best treatments. Doctors are limited in their medical approach by the scope of their training and in what they are legally able to recommend without exposing themselves to trouble.
If conventional medicine is not working, consider Chinese or alternative medicine, which can be very effective for chronic conditions. Some conditions that do not have good conventional treatments are easily remedied with non-conventional medicine, for example appendicitis can be quickly cured with Chinese medicine.
Bone spurs are caused by calcium deficiency, not calcium excess. (Google it.) If your Dad is not on high-dose vitamin D3 (at least 15,000iu per day), his doctor is way behind the times. Vitamin D3 is required for the body to properly use Calcium. Some doctors prescribe vitamin D2, but that is not effective. Vitamin D should be taken with Vitamin K2, which is a required to “help move calcium into the proper areas in your body,” which sounds like the issue for bone spurs. Here is an article:

Here is the best vitamin k2:

Serrapeptase is an over-the-counter enzyme supplement that can clean out the arteries by dissolving fibrin. Serrapeptase will also clean out mucus from the lungs, which might be helpful or might be irritating if overdone because it can dry out the lungs.
If conventional antibiotics are not working, there are natural antibiotics that are very effective: oil of oregano, grapefruit seed extract and olive leaf extract. Oil of oregano and grapefruit seed extract are liquid. If you get the liquids, get empty capsules to put the drops in because they will burn the mouth; they are super potent.
There is a ton of info on the internet about the supplements above.
You certainly have a lot to deal with. I pray that God sends some miracles your way.
Just prayed for you and your family.
God’s Blessings on you all.
You and your family are in my prayers
Prayers for you and your parents’ health and healing.
