I am willing to take part in a trial testing the effects of runny fried eggs.

That part of the article is not a worry to me at all.

I am reading that inadequate levels of vitamin c may be implicated in all sorts of illnesses and infections and may possibly also play a large part in heart disease.

The current RDA levels of vit c along with the RDAs of many other vitamins are woefully low, only really serving to eradicate the most extreme signs of diseases.

Thus it is quite possible that in the absence of enough vitamin c, which by the way is needed for collagen production to strengthen cell membranes, and the lack of can cause arterial scurvy, all sort of infections can take hold across populations.

I do believe that auto immune disease could be related to inadequate nutrition. And that the 'cure' will come from plugging the nutritional gaps.

But first of all the current RDA levels have to be examined and revised in light of the really quite extensive evidence that can easily be located.

Will this be done with big pharma controlling what studies are done. There's the conundrum.

If mainstream medicine cant be relied on to find cures, it will only encourage more people to seek advice elsewhere.

Possibly from doctors trained in an orthomolecular approach.

Runny eggs,

I don't know your full history but I thought I would add this thought.

I have a very bad case of lupus with cross over disease.

I don't have antiphos, but factor 5 Leiden that has caused dozens of pulmonary embolism in situ. With this secondary vasculitis which has caused loss of hearing time to time, but it returns when inflammation gets better. If you have lupus and are taking immune lowering drugs, stay away from this idea. We must always be careful of being exposed to so many infection, viruses and definitely samonila.

As I said I'm assuming you have lupus.....just a thought.

Best of luck to you.

Just wondering, did you have any bleeding from the ear that night?

If you mean when I lost my hearing there was no external bleed. But there was a feeling of fluid in the ear region for a good while following the event.

My belief is that there was an Internal bleed.

My diet was altered due to Christmas foods. I ate a large amount of sauerkraut earlier that day. I now know that sauerkraut is different to plain cabbage as fermented foods have a blood thinning effect. I had also had some alcohol - blood thinning and had had a really bad cold with concrete mucus in my sinuses and a bad cough. I think the combination of all the blood thinning and the coughing and trying to dislodge the concrete on my nose caused an over anti coagulated body to burst some blood vessels.

I was on aspirin as well as warfarin and think I was also on plaquenil at the time. I have heard that all of these drugs can have an effect either on the blood or perhaps the ears.

That is my unsubstantiated current belief anyway. The official view is that I was under coagulated and that it was probably due to a blood clot. Warfarin levels are constantly in a state of flux and although I had a very low inr when my blood was tested a week or so after the event I believe it would have showed a different result closer to the event.

I was also taking antibiotics - blood thinning - at the time I lost my hearing.

I think there are many more factors pointing at a potential bleed than a clot.

I mention all these things in order that both practitioners and patients may become more aware of potential dangers when undergoing anti coagulation therapy.

And -- please correct me if the English major suburban housewife is wrong here -- but don't all antibodies target bacterial and viral membranes? Therefore making all antibodies antiphospholipid in nature?
