Breathing Problems Associated with Chlamydia Pneumoniae??

Deep Breath Problems

Has anyone looked into Chlamydia Pneumoniae???

I have had breathing problems and found a break through.  

Since writing the last time, I have found that polysorbate 80, worsens my breathing, but I have also stumbled across some additional infomation which has helped me tremendously.  

I stumbled on a womans testimony on the net regarding Chlamydia Pneumoniae, which also leads to breathing problems.

If any one has some additional info, could you please post it?

After some research some sites say that only 1 year of antibiotics is the only cure.  I highly believe in working with natural herbs and remedies, and found out that 4 cloves of garlic is considered a STRONG dose of antibiotics.  My husband has me on several garlic pills per day, and colloidal silver, and my breathing has gone back to normal.  AMEN.  I will continue this regeme for several months to a year, after reading the site listed below.  

After giving up everything to do with cream and dairy in general my breathing got better, but not great.  I went to prayer, and felt Jesus dropping something in my bucket  

I am not suggesting that this is a cure, but what I am taking is all natural and will not hurt my body.  If you do any investigation on garlic it increases your immune system.  In addition my husband has me taking Oil of Oregano, Olive Leaf extract.  Do some research on these two herbs in particular, and you will see they are miracle workers.  In addition he has me taking Garlic pills, Astragalus, Cats Claw, Respir ALL by Now, and Echinecea.  I feel so much better.  

I also wanted to include a link for research......

After reading, when you first start taking antibiotics, it in fact gets worse.  

The first night my husband had me on the garlic, it did get worse for one night, and after that it got better.  They call it the dye off of the "virus" ?? in the cells.  I think with prayer (and standing on healing scripture), and these natural remedies, it will only improve my body than taking antibiotics.  

Here is my testimony.....

A bit of background....  

I had only been dealing with this problem for a few months, and I feel now, as though the garlic pills are allowing me to get back to normal.  

When my problems began again, and I felt as though my breathing was extremely labored.  I constantly had to yawn through out the day in order to catch a satisfying breath.  I felt as though at some times where I was breathing normally, and other times, where I had to get up from my desk, pace around and go outside into the cold air to catch my breath.  My husband did the internet searching for me for some natural remedies, because I felt reading anything about it would put my body into panic.  

He found that sniffing honey into my lungs, or drinking distilled apple cider vinegar helped, so that is what I did for 2 weeks straight.  It helped tremendously.  

ALSO pure carrot juice also allowed me to catch my breath.  It helped quite a bit!

One day, my breathing was really labored, gasping in deep breaths, but not getting any oxygen I had enough.  I was about to cry.  I felt as though I dived to a bottom of  the deep end of the pool, and I was almost out of air on my way up.    

Do you think some of you may have the same problem??- Chlamydia Pneumoniae??

In our previous apartment, there was black mold on the wall in the solarium of our apartment.  Because the room was an enclosed patio, we didn't think to much about it, but when it did get worse, we scrubbed it off.  At one point, we started taking it seriously as my throat was always sore.  Thinking back to it now, it was extremely serious, for our health.  Not only was I working in that room for most of the day, but our furnace was also gathering the heat for our home there.  We moved across the country to the worst area for rain, so both of those factors play into my situation I gather.

Some additional info....

b.) Bacterial Infections: There is a growing number of studies finding Mycoplasma and Chlamydia pneumoniae antibodies and DNA in the blood of patients with FM, CFS, Gulf War Syndrome, MS, Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, Chronic Sinusitis and RA. Chlamydia pneumoniae appears to contribute to atherosclerosis, interstitial cystitis and scaring skin lesions known as pyoderma gangrenosa. Dr. Stratton at Vanderbilt Medical Center has published a variety of articles linking Chlamydia pneumoniae to a variety of chronic diseases. It is interesting that he has documented the presence of Chlamydia pneumoniae DNA in 14/17 bladder biopsies from persons suffering from interstitial cystitis and other FM researchers (Clauw et. al. 1997) have confirmed a link between FM and interstitial cystitis. Chlamydia pneumoniae is commonly encountered and is a resilient opportunist with 3 forms in its life cycle allowing it to evade single agent antibiotic regimens. Treatment for Chlamydia pneumoniae requires months of treatment (similar to TB). Learn more about Chlamydia pneumoniae at: Cpnhelp.org Staying ahead on the clearing of the endotoxin released when bacteria are killed by using endotoxin lowering agents is very helpful.

c.) Fungal/Mold Colonization: This a controversial field of study in medicine and a complex topic. In brief, researchers at Mayo Clinic devised a new fungal culture technique and found that essentially all people, healthy and ill, have 2-3 different strains of mold living in their sinuses. Colonization may involve other mucosal surfaces, such as the lungs and intestines. Symptoms can develop when eosinophils (one of our white blood cells) are activated against mold. The allergic reactions can take a number of different forms from the classic type I reaction (runny nose, scratchy eyes, asthma), to type III hypersensitivity reactions which causes immune complex formation (a source of autoimmune reactions such as vasculitis) and serum sickness. The serum sickness reaction can develop 10 - 20 hours after ingesting food that contains mold proteins if the person is sensitized to that mold. For example chocolate, bread malts, and sodas all contain Aspergillus mold protein, but it is difficult for most people to link these foods to their “flare-ups” because the type 3 hypersensitivity reaction may take half a day to occur. Mold colonization and sensitization can be addressed by treating the sinuses with antifungal sprays, and treating the intestines with antifungal pills that are not absorbed into the blood stream. Minimizing dietary exposure to mold spores is often helpful. Insuring that one’s home environment is not a source mold is important. Mold counts are highest during the rainy season and many illnesses flare during this time. If your symptoms are worse in these months, try to recall if you were ever exposed to high levels of mold in a water-damaged home, or work environment. The syndrome referred to as Allergic Fungal Sinusitis links the development of allergies to foods, pollens and chemicals with fungal colonization of the sinus. These allergies lessen when fungal colonization is treated. Blood testing for IgG levels to mold and foods are helpful and Mayo Clinic has the only reliable fungal culture technique available. Another useful test is the serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) level, which increases as eosinophils are activated by mold and parasites. ECP levels can be followed as treatment proceeds to document response and influence the doses of antifungal medication.
