Vision: Early diagnosis & cure of autoimmune disease. Mission: To cure autoimmune disease.
Pork plant controversy explained CIDP is a group of 101 autoimmune diseases affecting the brain, hearing, vision, taste, spinal cord, muscles & nerves. Read & learn.
Read Autoimmune diseases are the number one disease process and killer on Planet Earth. In autoimmune diseases our own white cells start attacking the body organs. The attack is triggered by infections, surgery, accidents, inhalation of pollutants and stress. A two week specific anti-inflammatory treatment can stop these diseases & alter their course. Arthritis, stiffness, pain mental disorders, heart problems, skin diseases, facial palsy, asthma, hearing disorders, multiple sclerosis are all autoimmune.
A gene in the British Royal Family triggers autoimmune diseases.
If a disease has good & bad days, or it is progressive, consider it to be 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 & autoimmune diseases are triggered after pregnancy including Vasculitis, depression & 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 & infertility are all immune mediated. Get quick answers in our e-book. It 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. Hair have grown in completely bald men with simple medication & supplements.
Young women with undiagnosed problems please read about Dysautonomia in section three on this page.
Autoimmune diseases can start after food poisoning, vaccination, chemical exposure, injury, severe exercise, exposure to mold and minor stretching of unused muscles. 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. Do not think that hot flashes are due to hormone deficiency. Treatment of any disease by thinking that immune dysfunction is the cause.

Below is a description of a common autoimmune nerve disorder, for other diseases please see our disease section. or E-Book.
Tingling numbness in the toes can be Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy . Diabetics have a higher incidence of CIDP. A super expert medical professional can diagnose CIDP on the first visit without any electro-diagnostic help, read our diagnosis page to find out which is the best test.
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. Occasionally, cranial nerves are involved, symptoms range from visual perception difficulties, double vision, numbness involving the face, hearing disorders. Cognitive skills are not affected by CIDP. Most people believe that their knee, ankles or hip joints are a problem. Muscle and spinal involvement is frequent in CIDP. Brain involvement in CIDP is misdiagnosed as MS.
A CIDP patient uses the 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. 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." Dr King Engle speaking at CIDPUSA meeting said a normal EMG/NCV does not rule out CIDP.
CIDP is 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. (ALS is a CIDP spectrum disorder)
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 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 in the nerve biopsy, is rare, definitely will confirm the diagnosis of CIDP. However, the absence of inflammation does not rule 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 the nerve biopsy 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. In the old days GBS patients were in bed for 6 months, today patients improve in a few days, due to modern treatments.
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!
I have used intra muscular & subcutaneous IVIG injections to reverse CIDP in three days with a much lower IVIG dose. I prefer to use antibiotics mentioned in the e-book to reverse CIDP.
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, and alternative supplements which helps people get back on their feet. These protocols covers Alzheimers, CIDP, MS, Pemphigus, just to name a few!
For long term treatment, (interferon, Cellcept, Cyclosporine, Cyclophosphamide, Methotrexate are used ) These 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! These cheap drugs help many autoimmune diseases. (answer in our e-book).
CIDP responds to prednisone the side effects of this medication have to be considered for long term use. Oral prednisone takes about 30 days to show an effect reported by Dr. Jonathan Katz. Intravenous pulse steroids reach the efficacy of IVIg.
Can CIDP be cured? Yes, without IVIg I 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 cure CIDP. Jennifer who is the first stem cell transplant patient in USA is described in story number three..
Post Polio syndrome benefits 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 reported 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. We offer treatment to help the whole body.
Narcotics & antidepressants are not the best way to treat CIDP or autoimmune patients. Avicenna (Ibn Cenna), in his encyclopedia of medicine wrote, "it is best for the patient that the cause of their disease be treated". Narcotics 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. In postpartum PTSD & depression treat the inflammation rather then give a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.
Help yourself and read the diet section. We are all suffering due to pollution and a poor diet. We 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 vaccination drops to sick children.
We have sold our e-book on nearly every continent of the world to satisfied readers. This detailed discussion on CIDP is not found in any textbook or web site. CIDPUSA provide similar discussion for every disease in the e-book called, "the flame within". We aim to cure diseases, a two year progressive transverse myelitis cured in three days read the story in our Nanotechnology page. (story 25)
