About: Dr. James V. Dunne. INDEX

The Scleroderma Clinic of BC is headed by Dr. James V. Dunne, M.B., F.R.C.P.C.

About: The B.C. SCLERODERMA Clinic. (SABC) INDEX
http://www.scleroderma.ca/bc/clinic.htm

The Scleroderma Association of BC (SABC) provided funds to help establish the BC Scleroderma Clinic at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. The Clinic is operated by St. Paul’s with the support of rheumatology, respirology, GI, and cardiology services. It was established to provide the best available care to individuals with Scleroderma. It emphasizes appropriate investigations, effective treatment, basic and clinical research, and caregiver and patient education. The Clinic is headed by Dr. James V. Dunne, M.B., F.R.C.P.C.

With the assistance of the family and friends of Scleroderma patient Leonard Marks, the SABC also contributed to the purchase of a $75,000.00 laser doppler flowmeter for use at the Clinic. The flowmeter is non-invasive, and provides accurate measurement of blood flow, which facilitates monitoring of patient response to treatment, and provides valuable research data.

The SABC continues to urge every Scleroderma patient in BC to register with the Clinic’s patient data base.
A simple way of doing so is to phone the SABC office toll free at 888 940 9343 and give permission for your name, address, and phone number(s) to be entered. Alternatively, mail the following form to Dr. Dunne: ...

Scleroderma patients in BC seeking an evaluation, a second opinion, or guidance may call for an appointment at 604 732 4993.

the BC Scleroderma Clinic ... is a site for a prospective and retrospective cross-Canada study of pulmonary hypertension. .. Under the direction of Dr. Dunne, Research Assistant Dr. Kristina Boeva will use the Doppler equipment to measure blood vessel response to heat and cold. Later, attempts will be made to isolate circulating endothelial cells at rest, and following cold challenge. Such cells are present in the peripheral blood of patients with vascular disorders, and have not previously been isolated in Scleroderma.

About: Scleroderma. INDEX
http://www.srfcure.org/srf/home.htm

Scleroderma, in its severe form, is a life-threatening disease that affects multiple organs in the body and causes them to shut down. It is a chronic and degenerative disorder with no known cause or way to stop its progression. The National Institutes of Health estimates more than 300,000 people in the U.S. alone are living with some form of the disease. This is as large a population as patients with muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cystic fibrosis.

Scleroderma primarily affects women between the ages of 30 and 50, but also strikes men and children across all ages and ethnic boundaries. Scleroderma is a combination of autoimmune, inflammatory, and vascular disease. In severe scleroderma, multiple organ systems can be involved, including the heart, lungs, blood vessel s, and kidneys – often with lethal consequences. There is dramatic tissue damage including the hardening of skin, shrinking of muscles, and injuring of tendons. Patients frequently lose mobility in their joints, especially the hands, and facial changes can be disfiguring and often painful. ...

Scleroderma is in actual fact not a single disease, but a set of related disorders involving a similar set of symptoms. This makes a concise definition – and diagnosis – difficult. All forms of scleroderma do, however, share the basic characteristics of fibrosis (an excessive accumulation of tissue) and inflammation.

Pain, ranging in severity from uncomfortable to debilitating, is a common characteristic of the disease.

Other symptoms can include ..

• General fatigue,
• Joint or bone aching,
• Stiffness of hands and feet,
• Skin Discoloration,
• Skin thickening, tightness [perhaps from bloating and/or edema],
• Dry mucus membranes,
• Calcium deposits under the skin,
• Swallowing difficulties.

Recent research suggests that scleroderma is not only a rheumatic disease, but also has a blood vessel component. Inflammation in the body’s blood vessels leads to their narrowing. Further damage from the inflammation and impact of the increased blood pressure can lead to destruction of smaller arteries. As a result, or perhaps as a parallel disease process, fibrosis takes place. This process can have devastating implications and the heart and lungs can suffer a significant loss in efficiency. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is the leading cause of death in scleroderma patients.

The first documented account of scleroderma was by Dr. Carlo Curzio of Naples in 1754, who described his patient as a 17-year-old Neapolitan woman afflicted by a disease of “extraordinary nature.” “Her complaint,” wrote Dr. Curzio, “was an excessive tension and hardness of her skin over all her body, by which she found herself so bound and straightened that she could hardly move her limbs.” Nor could she fully close her eyelids or open her mouth, due to “the firmness of the skin and membrane.”

The fibrosis witnessed by Dr. Curzio is the most noticable feature of the disease. In fact, the word scleroderma is Greek for “hard skin,” although it is much more than that, often affecting the internal organs with life-threatening consequences. ...

Morphea (mor-FEE-ah) is derived from the Greek word “morfi,” meaning shape or structure.
With localized morphea, the body shows one or several patches of scleroderma. Symptoms include reddish patches of inflamed and discolored skin, usually on the chest or back, but sometimes on the face, arms, and legs. These oval-shaped patches are limited to certain areas on the body and range in size from a half-inch to approximately 12 inches in diameter. Localized morphea is further pronounced by the absence of sweat glands and very little, if any, hair growth in affected areas. ...

Problems of the digestive tract can make eating, nutrient absorption and elimination difficult.
The most serious complications of diffuse scleroderma involve the kidneys, lungs and heart and may include renal failure, pulmonary hypertension and the potential for heart failure.

People with diffuse scleroderma are often chronically tired, have a diminished appetite, show weight loss, and suffer from joint swelling and pain. Changes in the skin can include swelling, tightening and chronic itchiness. ...

About: Treatments for Scleroderma. INDEX

• NSAIDS.
  [aspirin (Bayer, St. Joseph’s); ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin); naproxen (Aleve), nabumeton (Relafen)]
  Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to relieve some symptoms caused by arthritis (rheumatism), such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. For some people with certain medical conditions, NSAIDS can lead to the development of stomach bleeding and kidney disease. ...

• Low-Dose Corticosteroids. [ie Prednisone]
  These cortisone-like medicines are used to provide relief for inflamed areas of the body, by lessening swelling, redness, itching, and allergic reactions. They are often used as part of the treatment for a number of different diseases, such as severe allergies or skin problems, asthma, or arthritis. ...

  Corticosteroids may lower your resistance to infections, and any infection you get may be harder to treat.
  Always check with your doctor as soon as possible if you notice any signs of a possible infection, such as sore throat, fever, sneezing, or coughing. ...
  
  

• Prokinetic Agents.
  Metoclopramide is a medicine that increases the movements or contractions of the stomach and intestines.
  When given by injection, it is used to help diagnose certain problems of the stomach and/or intestines. ..
  
  

• Antibiotics.
  Reduced movement of the intestines can lead to bacterial overgrowth which in turn can lead to diarrhea and impaired absorption.
  The bacteria can be treated by antibiotics, which are best prescribed on a rotational basis to help prevent development of resistant strains.
  [Amoxicillin (Augmentin), metronidazole (Flagyl), tetracycline, vancomycin]

  Pulmonary hypertension results from high blood pressure that occurs in the main artery that carries blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. When the smaller blood vessels in the lungs become more resistant to blood flow, the right ventricle must work harder to pump blood through the lungs.
  
  

• Prostaglandins.
  Epoprostenol belongs to the group of agents called prostaglandins, which occur naturally in the body and are involved in many biological functions. Epoprostenol works by relaxing blood vessels and increasing blood to the lungs.
  
  

• Prostacyclin.
  Iloprost is a stable, inhalable form of prostacyclin, an imitator of prostaglandin.
  Its relaxing effect on the blood vessels is similar to a prostaglandin.
  The advantage of inhaled iloprost is that it is introduced directly to the lungs, thus avoiding potential side effects to the rest of the body. ..
  
  

• Alkylating agents.
  Cyclophosphamide is in a class of drugs known as alkylating agents, which slow or stop the growth of cancer cells in your body. Cyclophosphamide is used to treat leukemias, lymphoma, bronchogenic carcinoma, small cell lung carcinoma, and other types of cancer. It has been shown to be effective in scleroderma lung disease. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug. Cyclophosphamide may contribute to the development of new cancers.

Article: Living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, by Doris Fleck. INDEX
http://www.lifetoolsforwomen.com/w/livingwithCFS.htm

Fatigue, dizziness and blurred vision hit me with a vengeance, followed by a burning sensation at the base of my neck.

As I continued to drive through the city, the symptoms gradually became more severe.
The burning in my neck climbed up the back of my head. As I approached the Port Mann Bridge, a tingling sensation enveloped my head. Suddenly I became very dizzy and felt faint. ..

Thus began six years of confusion, questions, emergency room visits and medical testing.
My symptoms confounded over 40 doctors and specialists until I was finally diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) as it is commonly referred to today.

When I became sick in 1986, few physicians knew anything about CFS.
Many thought I was clinically depressed or concluded my bizarre assortment of symptoms were emotionally induced. On the advice of a doctor, I went to see a psychiatrist. After three visits she told me my troubles were medical and advised me to see a doctor. When I produced a long list of the specialists I had already seen she merely shrugged her shoulders.

If I had understood more about the disease at the time, I would have realized I was a "textbook" CFS patient.
According to clinical researcher and medical doctor, Michael Rosenbaum, over 70% of people afflicted with CFS in America are Caucasian women who are well-educated, affluent and in their early 20s to mid-40s. Most people, like myself, report a sudden onset of the disease with symptoms that generally come and go. ...

I went from being a very active, energetic, enthusiastic person to bedridden in days.
My symptoms continued in a cyclical pattern from severe disability to various stages of remission over the next nine years.

The fatigue that plagued me was something I had never experienced before. I wasn't just tired; I felt like I had 20 pound weights attached to my arms and legs. This was combined with a litany of other symptoms that included muscle pain, heart palpitations, night sweats, cold hands and feet, numbness, intense pressure in my head, inability to concentrate, insomnia and nausea. I became intensely afraid of what was happening to me.

I had to drop out of university and spent the next 18 months using the little energy I had to search for solutions.

Article: No Quick Diagnostic Tool. INDEX
http://www.lifetoolsforwomen.com/w/livingwithCFS.htm

While the multiplicity of symptoms I suddenly experienced are now commonly used to define CFS, they also fit a number of other diseases. Since no quick diagnostic tool is available, most CFS sufferers undergo a plethora of medical tests to rule out other diseases; I was no exception.

I gave hundreds of blood and urine samples as I was tested for lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, cardiac problems, cancer and a host of other ailments. I underwent a CT-scan to rule out multiple sclerosis and the possibility of a brain tumor. I endured three separate six-hour glucose tolerance tests to check for diabetes and hypoglycemia. The doctors reviewing these tests said I had reactive hypoglycemia, but concurred it should not be this debilitating.

One doctor encouraged me to "get on with your life."
I asked him how that was possible when simple tasks, like sitting up for 10 minutes at a time, completely exhausted me. He had no answers. ...

For myself, necessary functions became almost insurmountable.
Walking a few feet to the bathroom was so exhausting, I felt like I was trying to conquer Everest. I began measuring every action in terms of the energy it consumed and how much recovery time I would need afterwards. Over the next nine years fully half of my days were spent lying in bed, trying to gather strength for eating, talking and bathing. It was a living nightmare.

In the early 1990s, Rosenbaum estimated 90 million people worldwide were afflicted with CFS. Like AIDS, CFS is recognized as an acquired immunodeficiency disorder. Unlike AIDS, it isn't deadly, but produces a paralytic fatigue that makes many CFS sufferers wish they were dead.

The first recorded "epidemic" of a CFS-like illness occurred in 1934 in Los Angeles and affected close to 200 health workers. This outbreak followed on the heels of a poliomyelitis epidemic and was initially, incorrectly diagnosed as polio. To this day, similarities between these two diseases have researchers searching to discover a mutated viral form of polio, which could be the root cause of CFS.

Article: CFS -- Treatment Options. INDEX
http://www.lifetoolsforwomen.com/w/livingwithCFS.htm

With no known cause and little understanding of the mechanism of this confounding disease, treatment options have been scarce. Although doctors now recognize CFS as a disease and are capable of a relatively quick diagnosis (three months to a year), their inability to effectively treat the disease has caused multitudes to turn to alternative health care.

Rosenbaum concludes that the results of this have been very beneficial.
Many people with CFS have been found to be plagued by parasites and on-going candidiasis, a form of yeast infection, as well as suffering from hypoglycemia. Appropriate treatment for these problems has resulted in many sufferers achieving dramatic results. Though not a cure, many people are able to return to a semblance of normal living.

Personally, I found a good naturopath and allergist within 18 months of my diagnosis.
Adhering to a strict diet, fighting off the candida and making use of massage therapy helped immensely. Even though I had two severely debilitating relapses that lasted at least a year in length, I have found a doctor that keeps apprised of the current research on CFS treatments.

Use of B-12 injections combined with Magnesium Sulfate have proven beneficial.
A combination of prescription drugs to help me sleep and natural remedies along with ongoing prayer have helped keep me relapse-free for the last seven years.

Even though I was totally bedridden at one time and wished I were dead, I am now so thankful to be alive.
Although I could have a relapse at any time, each day when I awake with energy to work and enjoy life I am grateful. Without the support of an amazing husband, caring family, compassionate friends, and a church group that supplied meals and prayer, I don't know if I would be alive today.

August 25, 2003 (Bethesda, MD) –– Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refers to Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, debilitating illnesses characterized by chronic recurrent ulceration of the bowel, abdominal pain, digestive problems, diarrhea or constipation. ..

Curcumin is a component of the spice turmeric (Curcuma longa) used in curries and mustard, whose anti-inflammatory properties have been recognized for years. These effects are related, in part, to inhibition of the activities of the cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, and NF- B in several cell systems. Furthermore, its role in the attenuation of colonic cancer in animal models has also been established. ...

The authors of "Curcumin Attenuates DNB-Induced Murine Colitis"

Section: Justice: Victim Impact Statement.

Authority distorted by ego pride and sheltered by the security of institutions FREQUENTLY results in persons with chronic medical conditions being labeled with and stereotyped into categories which promote abandonment, anger, impatience, denial, and, more pride. While this has been my own experience, I was in a group of persons who were experiencing dramatic health loss symptoms referred to as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Almost anyone with the strength and remaining self esteem to write or speak out confirmed this to also be their own experience ... whether in Canada, the USA, the UK. What I found in my research .. which led to the RECOVERY of myself and my then wife, is that the condition referred to as CFS-ME is actually a PERSONALIZED aggregation of 7 or 8 illnesses out of a possible 14. There are 1000 combinations. For recovery, the INDIVIDUAL must be correctly diagnosed for ALL of what they have, and, each of those illness conditions must be treated in a specific order. Hence, almost no one recovers.

I quote below from two EARLY examples of statements written by British Columbia medical specialists.
In each case, the doctors chose NOT to run ANY significant tests to diagnose the presenting ailments.
When their guess diagnoses and simplistic tests failed, they blamed the patient for their poor skills.
A third statement from 2004/5, of similar tone, I cannot find at this time (2016-11).
The POWER of their statements is born out by the consistent responses by other British Columbia doctors over the following TEN years. That is, those doctors assumed that the specialist was NEVER wrong, NEVER egotistically inclined, and, that the original Judgements reflected a CORRECT diagnosis. There are thousands of examples of this failing of authority structures spanning across EVERY field of endeavor.

Thanks for asking me to see this gentleman. He has chronic fatigue. ...

"review of Meditech reveals a history of atypical chest pain with unremitting investigations.
Chronic fatigue, alleged MI in the 30s x 3 though no record of this ..."
March 06, 2009, Dr Anna L. Tan / Dr Niall J Davidson
Consultation report between doctors following a skiing accident.

I do not have access to the Meditech report, which likely ALL doctors in British Columbia (and other provinces) do, so I cannot confirm if any but the barest details of "MI" are indicated, or, confirm its meaning.

As Meditech is an AMERICAN medical records service ... the medical records of Canadians are possibly available to most physicians across North America. Forget privacy. Perhaps typically, if the illness is not resolved MEDICALLY, and is not accurately DIAGNOSED, or not diagnosed at all ... it is never acknowledged as having been recovered from. So much for relevancy. My doctor has been informed MANY times since late 2008, that I recovered from CFS-ME. It is impossible to work an accumulation of 15 hours per WEEK for anyone with CFS-ME, let alone the 60 to 70 hours per week I worked for over 2-1/2 YEARS in the interim.

In the institutional MEDICAL field, it is usual for doctors to reduce all information about a drug to the minimum ... a CLASSIFICATION ... which indicates its Marketed TARGET symptom. I have NEVER met a doctor, in either the province of Ontario or the province of British Columbia, who has the slightest interest in HOW the drug works, WHERE the side effects originate, or, WHAT other health difficulties it can impose. Manerix is classified as an (Emotional) ANTI-DEPRESSANT. If you use it, what goes on your health record, and went on mine, is that you are being treated for "MI", a euphemistic reduction of "Mental Illness".

I have used Manerix, as supported by SCIENTIFIC reports, for ..
1. Mercury toxicity symptom alleviation;
2. Control of bacterial & fungal overgrowth;
3. Potential genetic re-modification of intestinal tissues.

The REALITY is that I was originally treated successfully for acute constipation originating from MERCURY heavy metal poisoning ... which promoted the generation of Aspergillosis fungal blocks in the intestines ... as later confirmed as a benefit in a SCIENTIFIC report. The ASPERGILLOSIS difficulties repeatedly arose over the following 15 years and were eventually linked to HIGH levels of multiple heavy metal and other metal toxicities. On one occasion, Manerix was taken specifically for exposure to the VIRUS typically part of its composition. There was evidence of a cellular tissue modification in the intestines which could have been induced by exposure to a GMO food (a known and well documented occurrence) and that by exposure to specific viral components, this modification could either be reversed, or, further transformed into a less destructive cell form.

While MOST people, exposed to ANY of these medical problems would either die from denied or delayed treatment arising from a confusion regarding medical diagnosis, others would succumb to mental abberations such as DEPRESSION, Fear, Paranoia ... before their accelerated abandonment and death ... I did not. I used my increasing skill of accessing Spiritual Guidance to find WHEWRE to look for WHAT information, and HOW to interpret it to FIND the best available options that I could use to both understand and remedy by health difficulties. The baseline eventually stood out as a requirement for surgery to either remove both a Small Intestine Cancer and a micro-tapeworm infestation, or, find some similar form of intestinal obstruction AND immune conflict.

Correction: Efforts to correct the Meditech data. INDEX
c-meditach.htm

A written reply was sent to Dr. Dunne in early January, 2006, after I obtained a copy of his response to Dr. Raison.

The digital copy of this has since been lost following one or more computer crashes and many residential moves.

The fundamentals of the reply are as follows.

• He seems quite obsessed by the treatment of his condition and in his search for an underlying cause.
  The suggestion is that any PATIENT who takes a sincere interest in their health recovery beyond what the sanctioned medical authorities are willing to consider or undertake, is obsessed. In other words, if a physician is ignorant of your medical abnormality, incompetent to request the applicable tests, or, unable to interpret them, or, unwilling to refer to a specialist who may be more familiar with your illness symptoms ... the patient is expected, as a matter of NORMALITY, to simply ACCEPT their illness as being unable to be diagnosed, unable to be treated, and/or, unable to recover from to any degree. For a profession that promotes itself as having an ethic of "Do no harm." this ATTITUDE imposes a Spiritual Abuse of Hopelessness, Failure, and Abandonment on the Patient.
  
  

• ... our interventions would be to start him on trazodone or Elavil.
  Other than the prejudicial judgement that the Patient must be Depressed because they continue to have hope that a recovery may be possible ... there is little justification for the use of these mood modifiers. In addition, if Dr. DUNNE had requested feedback from the patient, or, checked the KNOWN side effects of the drug ELAVIL, the would have known or discovered that this drug had been prescribed for and used by the Patient for several months following a Trauma inducing experience following a surgical and hospital service disaster at the Joseph Brant Hospital in Burlington, Ontario. After using the drug for 2 months, the pyschiatrist supervising the situation discontinued it because there was NO evidence of Depression in the Patient, and may never have been any. The AFTER EFFECT was to add 20 pounds of additional weight to the Patient, that would prove to be impossible to lose ... taking the weight of the Patient from an adult stable weight of 145 pounds to that of 165 pounds. This, by 2005, was a KNOWN side effect of the medication for most, if not all, who were prescribed it.
  
  

• His lack of review of the extensive Depression Questionnaire
  completed in his office BEFORE the interview, assessment, and, consultation.
  Perhaps as long as 40 minutes were required to fill out an extensive QUESTIONNAIRE on Depression in his office BEFORE any interview or assessment would be considered. After becoming aware of Dr. DUNNE's written report to Dr. RAISON, which would be included in the Meditech digital database, accessed by most Canadian Emergency Departments, I called Dr. DUNNE's office and enquired of his assistant, RHEA, if she could share the results of my test with me ... perhaps a Summary sheet of the findings e-mailed to me. This was later than several weeks AFTER the appointment and interview.

  RHEA stated that Dr. DUNNE had NOT viewed or had the questionnaire evaluated by himself or anyone else before the interview, and, to the date of my call, had still not utilized it in ANY way. Definetely unscientific and unprofessional to make such an impactful and directive authoritarian judgement in a document which could taint the manner in which this, or any other Patient, would be perceived of, sincerely interacted with, or treated ... by ANY future Emergency Department physicians, surgeons, or staff, and, possibly, by any Family Physicians.
  
  

• The other interventions we would do is to add in medications
  such as Wellbutrin or Alertec to try to improve his mood.
  This is an example of Dr. DUNNE's prejudicial involvement accruing from the above noted factors.
  He is BEHAVING as if he feels threatened by the Patient taking an Assertive and Self-Directed Attitude in Believing that he might Recover, that this Specialist might be able to provide some Supportive options not yet known to the Patient, and, that the Personal Experiences of the Patient with the use of suggested drugs and herbs might challenge the expected Reverential acceptance of whatever the Expert mentioned.

  Dr. DUNNE would go further to state that the Patient held a negative view towards the use of ANY pharmaceuticals.
  This staement was both contradicted by my previous use of numerous drugs, prescribed by many doctors, for numerous illness conditions, over the former decades. His STATEMENT would be stated back to the patient by some Family Physicians, both in British Columbia and Alberta, as late as mid-2017 ... even though there had been NO question or statement concerning such a position to that point. Each time, the Patient would calmly, and with some confusion from the statement, point out to the Family Physician involved, the straightforward contradiction of such a statement, adding that he definetely wanted to know what the side effects of any prescribed drug were, why it was being prescribed, and, be concerned that he not be given a drug which had PROVEN, in past experience to be harmful, perhaps life threatening.

  It became evident, by the ACTIONS of these same doctors, that what they had read in the Meditech Report took unquestioned Authority over any feedback from a Patient. If there was ANY question as to which was more correct, accurate, or significant ... it was ALWAYS assumed that the "medical" report was corret and the Patient was simply making excuses to the contrary, was in denial, or, was hypochrondiacal. In the 15 years following Dr. DUNNE's report, the patient was prescribed drugs which proved to be health endangering, and even life threatening, by these same doctors, right up to the present, 2020-12. As I survived these ERRORS, there was NEVER an acknowledgement to me that an error had been made, that the doctor had learned anything from the situation outcome, or, that some form of precaution might be best in the future, for myself, as well as other patients. I even had one Lethbridge, Alberta Family Physician express directly to me that he was DISAPPOINTED that I was still Alive! My being ALIVE and potentially vocal revealed his incompetency.

Concealing the details of incidents continually reinforces the success of the proud, though, sharing them tends to elicit lengthy descriptions -- life is seldom black and white simple.

Here are several issues which would best be clarified with sufficient detail to determine where the boundaries of responsibility are deserved. Chronic ill-health conditions can be the result of one or many factors. Most of these, in my lifelong experience of 70 years, are seldom accurately diagnosed, treated, or resolved by a government funded and controlled healthcare system. To the degree that individuals can find resolutions to these difficulties, ANY healthcare service could assist in encouraging these forms of resolution for any of their members.

Whiplash injuries.

1977 -- Major whiplash, coma for 3 days -- driver turned left into front corner of car as I was passing through an expressway GREEN light, north of Newmarket, Ontario. Likely speed of crash: 50 mph.

1984 -- Major whiplash -- driver ran into and wrote off the rear of the Chev Blazer I was in. I was stopped behind a driver making a left turn, from a city street. Likely speed of crash: 30 mph or more.

2000 -- Major whiplash -- driver at expressway speed struck the driver's side of my car while I was crossing an intersection, in northeastern Australia. The car I was driving was written off by the insurance company. The motor had hesitated during the crossing. Likely speed of crash: 50 mph.

The longer a whiplash injury takes to present, the more major it is.

The trauma of the FORCE of the accident is remembered by the body as a automatic reactive response associating certain factors the body became aware of at the time of the accident with current similar dynamics. In an addictive manner, the body perceives dangers, raise defences (tenses muscles), and maintains conditions of subluxations and taut tissues. Symptoms become chronic, and can be acute in level of intensity.

ALL of the above WHIPLASH incidents repeated this "protection" pattern.
I was told that I would likely never recover from the first one. It took me 7 years to find which skills, treatments and procedures would enable recovery ... some of which I developed with the direction of God. After the second whiplash, and equipped with the recovery protocol tested and learned from the first, I FULLY recovered in about 7 WEEKS. After the third whiplash, I fully recovered in about 7 DAYS.

Elavil prescription use.
1974? -- Prescribed at Brant Memorial Hospital, Burlington -- following lumbar puncture procedure which resulted in 48 hours of continuous torture due to lack of preparation, supervision, follow-up. During my adult life, I had easily maintained a constant weight of 145 pounds. Taking Elavil, I added 20 pounds which no diet or exercise would reduce.

Ten YEARS later, the pharmaceutical industry acknowledged that WEIGHT GAIN was a frequent side effect of the drug. It appears, from prescribing practices, that British Columbia doctors are unaware of this factor, choose NOT to alert their patients to this likelihood, and are not interested in hearing any research findings or experiences from patients. I eventually lost some of the added weight ... by fasting for 21 days.

"Elavil is used for the treatment of depression.
While it is not entirely clear how it works, the medicine is known to affect several chemicals in the brain, including serotonin and norepinephrine. Potential side effects of Elavil include dry mouth, constipation, and dizziness. ... It may also be used "off-label" to help relieve chronic pain and to prevent migraine headaches. Elavil can also help with bedwetting, ADHD, fibromyalgia, and bulimia. The medicine is also effective at helping people quit smoking. ... Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber."

1974? -- Prescribed at Brant Memorial Hospital, Burlington -- following a botched surgical procedure.
I was NEVER advised of any potential side effects, nor, asked for feedback.

2005-12-22 Recommended by Dr. Dunne, above.
When a politically sanctioned medical specialist is willfully in denial of the destructive, and universal, side effects of a drug, rejects any feedback from their patient ... about possible earlier experiences as evidence against taking it ... the person who is intended to inspire trust, earns distrust.

Manerix prescription use. R-INDEX
(In the institutional MEDICAL field, it is usual for doctors to reduce all information about a drug
to the minimum ... a CLASSIFICATION ... which indicates its Marketed TARGET symptom.
I have NEVER met a doctor, in either the province of Ontario or the province of British Columbia, who has the slightest interest in HOW the drug works, WHERE the side effects originate, or, WHAT other health difficulties it can provide relief to.

Manerix is classified as an (Emotional) ANTI-DEPRESSANT. If you use it, what goes on your health record, and went on mine, is that you are being treated for "MI", a euphemistic reduction of "Mental Illness".)

I have used Manerix, as supported by scientific reports, for ..
1. Mercury toxicity symptom alleviation;
2. Control of bacterial & fungal overgrowth;
3. Potential genetic modification of intestinal tissues.

ONE
1997? -- Prescribed by psychiatrist at Scarborough General Hospital outpatient to address unresolved concerns with colon dysfunction and bleeding symptoms; otherwise undiagnosed. He cautioned that there would not be any noticeable influence of the drug for 3 weeks. Within 24 hours, my intestinal functions improved. Evidence later indicated that the serotonin boost by Manerix had reduced the presence of destructive fungi (aspergillus and candida albicans) contributing to blockages in the intestines. Removal of specific leaking mercury dental amalgams, about a year later, and encouraged by research findings I had uncovered, resulted in an IMMEDIATE disappearance of depressed intestinal function (peristaltic paralysis). I no longer required the Manerix to facilitate PHYSICAL function, so I discontinued it.

2003; 52: 169-171 - Journal of Medical Microbiology -- Serotonin (Manerix) can fight fungus.
This article was not discovered until at least 2006, or later.

TWO
2005-04-29 Began prescription for Manerix in an attempt to influence constant CFS-ME symptoms.
This did NOT make a dramatic improvement in the symptoms I had. As many people with CFS-ME can testify, stopping the slide into ever worsening health is itself an achievement. This was more than a year after I had suddenly (a term familiar to most persons with a true CFS-ME variation) had my health condition plummet. It was also 4 years before I would equally suddenly recover.

On March 18, 2004, almost a year earlier, I had demanded that my dentist remove two molars that had gold crowns. On their removal, it was discovered that large mercury amalgam deposits had been underneath each. The dentist was astonished and remarked that in the 30 years of his experience, it was evidence of the 2nd worst case of dental mercury poisoning he had ever seen. Mercury toxicity can lodge in any and/or multiple organs. Its presence does NOT make the organs dysfunctional. It simply DEPRESSES their activity to result in difficult-to-diagnose symptoms. The dentist was surprise that I was still walking and had not contracted a cancer, had a heart attack, or encountered some other dramatic health problem. Because CFS-ME is a package of as many as 8 of 13 possible illnesses, combined in one of as many as 1000 combinations, its symptoms are not INDIVIDUALLY considered DRAMATIC.

This development answered as to why these GOLD crowns had felt very warm at times, even though I had not drank anything hot nor eaten hot food. Moisture (saliva) had seeped in under the crown through breaks in the adhesive. A natural electrolytic action (mercury-gold-water) had converted ALL of the mercury into bioavailable gas which had leached into my organs. It was a most likely LARGE contributor to my crossing the health threshold into CFS-ME. It would take 2 YEARS of chelation intravenous treatments to detoxify the mercury from my system ... as clearly evidenced and confirmed by hair diagnostic tests which I PRIVATELY obtained and paid for.

The Manerix DID serve to limit the amplification of bacterial periodontal disease (contributes to heart failure & disease), which has scientifically been demonstrated to accompany dental mercury amalgam leakage (age), until I had the mercury amalgam removed, and, the mercury toxicity chelated out. The Manerix partly countered the PHYSICALLY Depressive influence of the heavy metal toxicity and its accompanying destructive bacterial and fungal presence. This was the SECOND incident of acute heavy metal poisoning which I addressed. The medical industry had much opportunity to DIAGNOSE either, and, failed in both to show any interest in sincere diagnosis, run definitive tests, provide solutions.

THREE
2015-09 -- Possible remodification of intestinal tissues in hopes of return of normal functions.
Manerix was manufactured with a number of viruses included in it. (see elsewhere)
Genetically modified mice, which internally produce higher levels of the drug base, are used as a living factory. They must be slaughtered to harvest the hormones. These mice were known to be susceptible, endemically, to certain viruses. Originally, in the production stage of the drug, there was no way known to either define which viruses were present, from a group, or, to remove or neutralize them. They were directly transferable to human patients who often experienced viral symptoms of headaches, nausea, sweats, and/or digestive irregularities either when they began a Manerix regime, or, in the beginning and during their taking of the drug ... either continuously, or, intermittently. The POTENTIAL benefit of anti-depression was rationalized as worth the risk of the side effects. Such has been a historical justification for the production and use of many pharmaceuticals.

In Genetic Modification, a virus is used in modifying genetic coding as a carrier to implant genes from other lifeforms in the (protected) host/plant/crop. When a predator/insect/herbivore eats that plant, the genetically modified nature of the plant is most "effective" when digestion of it releases a virus and the implanted foreign genes to effect changes in the attacker/eater. This process can, and has, influenced LARGE mammals. In 2008, water buffaloes which ate leaves (forage) of a specific genetically modified crop, consistently DIED within 24 HOURS. My research in the months previous to this date (2015-09), suggested that my own digestive/elimination problems might have been a result of a similar transformation(s) of my intestinal tissues. Manerix was my only KNOWN option of willfully exposing my system to one or more known viruses in addition to specific foods ... the result of which could be a further transformation of tissues to a healthier dynamic.

My doctor was aware that I had used Manerix previously.
I DID have concerns, extending from my work, that political dynamics were pushing humanity ever closer to a likelihood of self-driven extinction. For the benefit of the doctor, I did answer his questions to complete a B.C. Health depression checklist. The likely only positive answer in support of "emotional" depression was my realistic concern (considering my behind-the-scenes awareness) of the ell-supported future conflicts. Together with the previous prescription duration (2005), I was given a prescription. Manerix was now available in a non-generic form made under license to the original pharmaceutical company. Even though I had copies of research study results indicating the presence of the viruses, no one would either admit to their presence now, or, they did not have access to the information ... which had long earlier been scrubbed from the Internet.

A problem presented in that the more recently produced Manerix might now be clean of some or all viruses due to modified practices. Both varieties were available. The earlier now cost 800% more than the recently licensed variety. I began by ordering a month's supply of each. I DID find a defined and significant difference between the two production lots in terms of influence on my symptoms, and, side effects. As a DRUG, and for the FIRST time in my multiple uses, I did find a mood change towards the Positive, within 48 HOURS. This was unexpected, or, perhaps more accurately, I had no precedent on which to place any expectation. I had learned, by experience, that if I were Spiritually Guided (prayer) to choose and test a possible illness reducing tactic ... the result was ALWAYS positive. Such efforts either resulted in a defined progression towards recovery, or, directly to recovery.

After a few months, there was no longer a benefit to my use of Manerix.
I stopped using it in February, 2016. I have NEVER had any follow-up from my doctor as to whether it helped, if I were continuing to use it, if I had any problems with it, if I needed/wanted a new prescription ....

Vehicle accidents.
In addition to the Whiplash injuries, noted above:
1972 -- Struck from behind by a driver at 30 mph or higher, while stopped to yield to oncoming traffic on an entry ramp into the Stoney Creek, Ontario, traffic circle. Knocked unconscious. Taken to Brant Memorial Hospital. Released within hours. No following symptoms or difficulties.

Other accidents.
Growing up on a mixed farm, frequent daily physical activities were a normal & required part of life. Until, and only when, health declines prevented this ACTIVE lifestyle, it was a regular part of both my lifestyle and my work activities. Generally, the more active one is, the more one is exposed to the risk of accidents and injuries.

1952 -- In the Spring, I was exposed to a near point-blank explosion while squatting over a pile of bonfire coals. Arriving home from public school, a bonfire was in its last stages in the orchard. I went to it and stirred the coals to bring the fire back to life. At that moment, an explosion occurred (confirmed later to have been multiple blasting caps used in earlier road building), lifting me and throwing me against the truck of a cherry tree about 15 feet away. Loose gravel on the driveway, about 80 feet away, rattled. The last image I saw was of some of the gravel being lifted an inch off the surface. I was taken to the hospital.

Surgeons removed some ash from my eyes. A burn and scar was left on the left eye.
It would weaken and partially hinder the eyesight in that eye for most of my life. I was fortunate to be treated by a local optician who provided us with exercises and the plans to build an exercise device to enhance binocular vision. Use of that for a year together with a specific protocol for adjusting by eyeglass prescription resulted in my eyes diminishing in their strength very little until after 2000. After about 25 or 30 years, and with employment relocations, another optometrist "corrected" my lens prescription to REMOVE the strengthening benefit of the earlier protocol. This EFFECTIVE sight-saving protocol has now been forgotten by the Canadian Optometry industry, both provincial and federal associations. I could find no record of it in a data and inquiry search conducted in 2014/15.

1954 -- On preparing to leave a baseball game in a carpool, I mistakenly grabbed the side of the car for stability just before another passenger closed the door. My right middle finger was caught in the hinge side of the door and partially crushed/broken. The local surgeon reset the bones and put a cast on the finger. Removal of the cast later revealed that the bones had healed in an irregular arrangement. The doctor later offered that he could rebreak the bones and reset them for a more normal form with joint movement. At that young age, I had endured enough pain, and declined.

1975-06 -- Significant lower back lifting injury while moving a heavy machine out of a car backseat to carry into the customer's office for installation. The employee assisting, from outside the car, expressed a possibility of having to drop his end due to the weight. I was having difficulty safely moving my feet out of the car, under the end of the machine. I extended my arms, placing a force of hundreds of pounds on the lower back, in order to move more quickly out of the back seat. A significant subluxation injury resulted. Extensive chiropractic therapy, exercise, and rest was required for 6 months.

2009-03 -- While practicing cross-country skiing, I slipped on a long icy patch and fell, hard.
My left buttock was bruised, more internally than externally, and the symptoms which followed suggested that a lower spine subluxation had occurred. For a time, there was reoccurring pain and numbness in my left leg and foot, and at the base of the spine. Certain movements resulted in uncontrolled and unalerted minor instances of fecal incontinence. Walking and general movements were difficult. Medically, there were no treatments suggested; only the use of pain-killer drugs. I sought chiropractic treatment. Over a period of perhaps 6 weeks, the symptoms subsided.

Career changes. R-INDEX
I have had more than an average number of career changes.
Repeatedly, for many years, I found I could advance to a senior position in my employer's enterprise ... only to be laid off, find that my company and industry were not providing good customer service, find that I was being pressured to allow abuses, or ... participate in them. Frequently, I determined that another industry offered more potential to clearly assist others, and, increase my income ... always with a potential for added security. This changed when I made a difficult transition into self-employment and the use of unique skills which I had developed to recover from significant injuries and life traumas (see above).

Frequent career changes are often perceived, by those who have not made them, as an inability to express commitment, an overcompetitive personality, or, an immature avoidance of "settling down". These features were NEVER expressed in my own history. Often, it was the opposite sentiments of spontaneous commitment, teamwork, and a desire for security which attended my career path. I received commendations, relevant appreciative references, and faster-than-usual career advancement in, and from, my work. I was always eager to learn as much as possible about my work and to effect as professional a style of service as might be possible.

STANDARDS of PREFERENCE can radically change between industries.
I found that persons being considered for employment in institutions were spontaneously rejected if their history revealed more than a few employers. Conversely, in the computer software and service industry, (where I trained and worked for almost a decade) applicants who had FREQUENTLY (almost every year) changed employers ... where often automatically hired ... with an expectation that they were innovative, aggressive, and more educated than the average. Industry preferences can also relate to SKILL potential. In the Private Security industry, employees who made the VOLUNTARY effort to complete as many personal time courses as possible ... received offers of promotion and relocation frequently. Others were never asked. Their lack of "Push" or "Passion" was taken to mean that they valued Stability over Promotion. I valued stability AND promotion, AND, most of all ... Learning, in support of Professionalism.

Volunteer work. R-INDEX
By the Spring of 2012, a realization was presented that publishing a digital health reference for recovery to assist those with CFS-ME had been all but sabotaged by the direction taken by the owners of Google, and, the policymakers in the USA National Security Agency (NSA). Continuing to complete and publish this and other reference materials which could benefit humanity as a whole would fall into almost immediate misuse by misdirection, deception, and manipulation in the service of making money at any expense of truth and relevancy. Such efforts ended then. What would be discovered a year later, during this brief year of "retirement", was that a focused program of physical enhancement and international political education would lead to an offer to use and further enhance my skills in the area of global conflict resolution.

This Spiritually (prayer) Guided work extended the continual and consistent successes I had shared with clients, since 1981, particularly during 1998 to 2002, and 2006 to 2009. These successes had released attitude and behavioral dynamics in individuals which they reported had changed long-term self-sabotaging choice patterns into constructive choice patterns which benefited themselves and often those in their environment. Relationships, health, employment, and business ownership took more joy filled and respectful directions and many reported experiencing what they termed a more personal and spiritual awareness. These changes NEVER happened as an extension of anything that I had written, dictated, or preached. These dynamics I found to be highly rewarding in all non-financial ways.

Beginning in mid-2013, a definitive, intense, stimulating opportunity was presented to me which could build towards assisting in the development of some form of global program of conflict resolution. It was partially dependent, I would later learn, on the longer-term response of my body to exposure to GMO (Genetically Modified) foods. That resulted in a dramatic escalation of the chronic health related symptoms noted above. With the daily sacrifices involved, I acquired an ability to work very long and consistent hours researching conflict situations and interacting with identities to resolve, or ameliorate them towards non-violent partnerships. Involvement in such work had to be reduced from February, 2016, to an almost non-existent level by May, 2016.

Even when I provided private counseling in a self-employment structure, the low pay-to-work ratio meant that professionalism had to supercede profit (income in excess of expenses). During mid-2013 to early 2016, the work I performed was solely funded by the low pension income I was receiving. No honorariums or other financial gifts or awards have been received for such work to November, 2016. The destructive stress which many persons would experience during such a time of financial restraint and intense work was discounted by my knowledge and experience that I had ENOUGH, and would have, for those expenses I was Spiritually Guided (prayer) to make. The separation between the work and the symptoms is confirmed by the continuance of the symptoms in the absence of the work involvement. With a consistent lack of medical support and resolution, I made the best use of (some of) the symptoms I experienced.

Self-Directed efforts.
Authority structures promote exclusivity of membership, pride in privilege, reward for sacrifice and passivity, and, rejection of other options or modalities which may serve the same demands for service. Self-directed efforts are often, and may be, reactive rebellious responses to the control and structure/limit driven attitudes and behaviors of employers, professions, and, memberships. Self-directed efforts can be the result of a choice of partnership with a Spiritual Source which can improve in accuracy, relevancy, and immediacy with practice and constructive expression. This has been my focus since 198? when I found I could access intelligence which enabled me to recover from a set of over 30 hypersensitivities and begin assisting others towards permanent resolution. They, like myself, had been told that ANY recovery was impossible. When those with Authority and Power choose the Pride of Expertise over the Humility of Learning, they become redundant.

Assisted Self-Directed efforts (some) enabled me to:

survive a 3-month premature birth in December, 1945; ooo

maintain a near consistent level of eyesight after major injury at age 8;

terminate cigarette smoking at age 11;

avoid repeating patterns of abuse received from peers;

learn how to SCUBA dive while living on a farm;

graduate from High School, in defiance of school superintendent assessment;

place 3rd of 16 in the 1st private computer technology course offered in Canada;

complete a combined Sociology-Psychology Honors university BA;

learn how to maintain and repair a car;

find a resolution to a long duration of constant pain;

recover from a severe whiplash ... and then two others;

survive a coma medically considered to be terminal;

recover from a severe lower back injury;

recover from multiple severe hypersensitivities;

develop a form of therapy which enabled individuals to release traumas;

design energy efficient housing which impressed Ontario Hydro;

formulate business plans, flow charts, spreadsheets, circuit diagrams;

deeply research many health, political, and environmental issues;

independently influence others to reject violent confrontations;

ooo -- A 3-month premature birth at this time in Canada was generally considered to be terminal. I was born without the ability to digest my mother's milk, or milk from any other source. Thanks to nutrition researchers working with Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto) staff, I was an early recipient/test subject for a multigrain infant formula, later known as Pablum. It was enough.

" Recovery" is used here to denote a cessation of symptoms from the time of "recover" to the present. NONE of the above were encouraged by or financed by others. Most of the "recoveries" were attained after "experts" advised me that such was not possible. These challenges provided opportunities for learning and skill development. These options were frequently not available from any source or counselor. Medically, these options were not "self-treatment" ... the term used by authorities to prejudice all non-compliance of their assessments and prescriptions as being superstitious, reckless, reactive, unscientific, and, dangerous.

My choices were ALWAYS intensively researched, and, eventually, ALWAYS supported and confirmed by Spiritual Guidance (Prayer). For the spiritually inexperienced and uneducated, the results demonstrate the significant influence of such choices. Unfortunately, Spiritual Directed choices, in my experience, cannot bring positive change to situations created by multiple, powerful, human driven (educational, commercial, mass media) sources of pollution, conflict, and, bioengineering ... which demand results which reject the laws of the universe.

For the observer or reviewer of my health history, my health challenges gave me the option to accept passivity, dependency, and defeat, or, to opt for awareness, discovery, participation, and resolution. My life has demonstrated that my Basic Personality supports the latter ... a form of Self-Responsibility which the Authority biased, institutionally controlled basis of Canadian provincial healthcare insurance/plan systems actively discourage.

Discussion.
He believes that most CF patients have had too many immune attacks with each diminishing the strength of the immune system until it can no longer function effectively. He suggested use of Sam-E (used previously with no benefit) and Rhodiola (capsule form, graduated dose, from a naturopath), to increase energy.
Suggested going on disability pension from the government?!

Agreed to prescribe, on insistence, blood tests for Lyme Disease and other things, noted fasting necessary, but NOT 10:00 am requirement for one test nor inability to run Lyme test from the next day (lab requires immediate analysis not possible with Xmas break).

Mirrored Dr. Raison's belief that viruses that one has been exposed to, and had been active, were not beneficial to test for because they would likely show exposure but not current activity.
