Autominium - PBC

[bozcan]

Hi everyone, I just find a web site and talk with "Denise Otten", her daughter was autominium hepatit, they uses a lot drugs udca, imuran etc etc but they didn't solve it, allways the blood tests are high.After then her mother Denise Otten uses some vitamins and Paleo Diet they dicrease the blood tests and everything.Does anyone tries this method in PBC ?I think it can be usefull for pbc because all these are autominium...

Nutritional and exercise have a lot to do with it. They won’t cure PBC, but given that a pretty high percentage of us have celiac disease or gluten intolerance, and paleo would eliminate the gluten and reduce related inflammatory and autoimmune responses, it makes sense that it would help a lot.

I see Dr Berkson in monthly basis, returning back to Las Cruses, New Mexico for a month. He fabulous and brilliant, my husband and I have become very friendly with Burt and wife Anne. Worth every penny and time to see him.

Denise is great, we worked together for a period time, she lovely.

So the pbc finished ?

[SunnyXXOO]

Can’t handle Urso or other western Medicine they threw at me, I had horrific side effects.

I know Denise, I thought Dr Burt Burkson turned her AIH around. I will have to Skype Denise tonight.

I have been tx’d by Burt Berkson, I will be seeing him on OCT 4, 2018, my be staying for a month, Burt will tx me for 1 straight month. Since I have been seeing Burt my number are better then they have in eions. His IV nurse are fabulous, Burt Burkson and wife are lovely. His son Arthur Burkson ( son) works with him, but he a few yrs young, he is learning very well, but has lots to to learn from his father.

I’m a very seasoned nurse, believe me when I tell you, Western Medicine is not the end all.

I think Jules said that also

What does he do that is different?

[SunnyXXOO in reply to Lawyers]

Read my state 9 days ago. Read about Dr Berkson. Also read internet.

[bozcan in reply to SunnyXXOO]

Does your blood tests turn normal range ?

[SunnyXXOO in reply to bozcan]

Not yet, when I was first Dx (wrong Dx) my ast was 1750 alt 1700 all 500 something. Today my ast 63, alt 56, all 200 something. Not too bad, huh.

Labs currently close to being with in normal range. When I was first dx my enzymes were crazy, ast 1750, alt 1700, alk phos close to 400.

Today: ast 48, alt 36, alk phos 200, bili with in range.

Working on normal ranges, Although i think my enzymes will always be slightly elevate.

Currently I am in New Mexico, Dr Burt Berkson is treating me for 19 days, hoping to beat this ruthless dis-ease.

Burt Dx me a few yrs ago, with all his testing, he found an old antigen in bili vein (Novosphingobium antigen) and that what he is treating me for, and by god I think it’s working. This certain species if tuff, it created a membrane around itself for protection. The antigen laid dormant for years, then I was injured on the job, and with all the stress and anxiety woke up the antigen. My liver specialist (Director of transplant unit misdiagnosed me quite sometime ago).

Just had new set of labs on Thursday, I let you know how they turned out.

My name is Sunnny , Plymouth, Massachusetts, and I have Primary Bililary Cholingitis. Dr. Burt Berkson/Microbiologist, Las Cruses, New Mexico has treated me with ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid), Glutathione Infusions followed with B12-injections, which has helped me tremendously.

Dr. Burt Berkson and Dr. Bartter, published two papers on 79 people with potentially fatal acute liver disease at various medical centers around the country in 1980. The studies were published out of NIH. Using just intravenous ALA, 75 of the 79 survived.

If ALA worked for acute liver disease, would it not be effective for chronic liver disease? He administered the ALA and my laboratory values quickly improved. Dr Burt Berkson treats patients with hepatitis B, autoimmune hepatitis, and hepatitis C with the same great results.

Several reasons to treat patients with ALA:

1) ALA is the rate-limiting factor for the production of acetyl coenzyme A, the fuel for the mitochondrion. So, increased ALA means more efficient mitochondrial effectiveness and healthier hepatocytes.

2) With any serious organ disease, there is a reduction in glutathione. Glutathione, is the most efficient intracellular antioxidant and removes so many harmful products of inflammatory organ damage. ALA is the most efficient generator of intracellular glutathione.

3) ALA by itself is a very efficient free radical scavenger and removes many inflammatory products that interfere with normal organ regeneration.

4) ALA has been found to stabilize nuclear transcription NF kappa B. NF kappa B is an intracellular promoter of inflammation and cellular damage. So, ALA appears to slow many inflammatory processes.

5) I think that ALA has a direct effect on stem cells and stimulates them to divide and differentiate into normal liver cells thus repairing damaged organs.

6) Several antioxidants work in the cell to help scavenge the free radicals that damage tissue. When vitamin C, vitamin E, coenzyme Q-10, etc. are used up, ALA can regenerate them and make them effective once more.

Alpha lipoic acid among other actions, is an essential coenzyme in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl co-enzyme A. Therefore, it is necessary for the production of energy for aerobic organisms. Scientists have found that it can be used medically to help regenerate liver tissue, reverse the complications of diabetes mellitus, slow or stop the growth of cancer cells, and chelate heavy metals, among other actions.

The mitochondrion converts nutrients into the energy-generating molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in order to fuel aerobic respiration. Hepatocytes have exceptionally high energy demands, so they have particularly high numbers of mitochondria.

Any disruption of mitochondrial structure and/or function can lead to a wide assortment of medical disorders because the resulting oxidative stress interferes with the generation of ATP molecules. In this way, tissues are starved of the energy from electrons that normally result from the oxidation of food.

Alpha-lipoic acid was first characterized by Reed et al in 1951.1ALA was found to play a most important role in the pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex in mitochondrial function. The PDC is composed of three enzymes: E1(pyruvate dehydrogenase), E2 (dihydrolipoyl transacetylase), and E3 (dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase).

Burt Berkson, M.D., Ph.D. practices nutritional and integrative medicine in Las Cruces, NM, and is an adjunct professor of applied biology at New Mexico State University. He has been a lecturer, researcher, and professor at several institutions including the Max Planck Institute, University of Illinois and Rutgers University at Newark and New Brunswick, NJ. In addition to being an M.D., he has an M.S. in biology and a Ph.D. in cell biology. Recognized as one of the leading experts on ALA, Dr. Berkson is an active writer and speaker with numerous published works in scientific, medical and popular journals. He is the author of The Alpha Lipoic Acid Breakthrough (Prima Publishing, 1998). He was for 23 years the principal FDA investigator for its intravenous use and a consultant to the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Palm sounds great, thinking about starting as soon as we get home. Heard Pali was good nutritional diet, great for PBC.
