Blood Pressure and Restored Immune System

I
used to have high blood pressure, 165 over 105 most of the time. My doctor had
been telling me to take drugs to control the blood pressure since the late
1990s. I wanted him to prescribe antibiotics for me. He was unwilling or unable
or forbidden by the College of Physicians to do so. Until October 2003, I
managed to persuade the oncologist to prescribe ROM antibiotics in pulse form
once (see part 1). At the end of October 2003, I had an operation to remove the
rectal tumour and install the ilio-stomy bag. I lost a lot of weight when I was
discharged from hospital. A home care nurse always came to check my vital signs
once a week. My blood pressure was usually 100 over 60. I thought that was due
to the weight loss. When I regained the weight the blood pressure remained the
same. My guts were reconnected and the bag removed. My blood pressure is now
slightly higher at 110 over 70 when checked at home by the home care nurse. My
family doctor says the blood pressure usually is higher if measured in his
office, e.g. 120 over 80. The change in blood pressure is real.
One
probable explanation is the restored immune system, which is no longer causing
the overproduction of TNF-alpha. The overproduction of TNF-alpha may have
caused inflammation of blood vessels and the thyroid and adrenaline glands to
be more active, leading to higher blood pressure.
I
used to have lower back pain but now it is less frequent and less severe when
it happens. My left leg is shorter than the right one by about 5mm. This is a
sign of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis and compromised immune system are related
(see Book 2, p28, printed and bound version). Since the ROM antibiotics
treatments are so beneficial I have asked and got it from the oncologist to
increase the treatment from once a year to twice a year. Hopefully this will
reduce the chance of recurrence of cancers, prevent scleroderma and stop
osteoporosis.
PCR
methods cannot detect the bacterium compromising the immune system if present
in small number. Detection of the bacterium can be carried out by means of mass
spectrometric techniques. Both the Universities of Toronto and York possess
high-resolution mass spectrometers and the trained personnel for such purposes.
