Snoshoe,
While I deeply empathize with ES people, being one of them, I cannot in good conscious
recommend the use of this prescription depressant drug. They are: toxic to the Liver,
highly addictive, cause impaired functioning, belong in the class of date rape drugs,
also belong to the class of Halcion drugs, and in my opinion, any drug belonging to this particular
family of narcotics is extremely DANGEROUS, for its side effects.
I can see the use of this for very SHORT term uses, such as oral surgery. But NEVER as something
people should take daily. For me, the side effects of this class of drugs far outweighs any
potentiial benefits.
Alternatives: potent anti inflammataries: Ginger Root in tea, Tumeric (I like the www.organicindia.com capsules), Peppermint essential oil,(must be
as pure as possible to retain potency ( I like www. youngliving.com)
Astaxanathin (mercola's), just a few natural anti inflammatories/ anti oxidants.
Even oxygen in a can, (www.truo2.com).
I can never see the benefit of adding toxic substances to a body, that is already being stressed out, by other toxins,
including environmental ones such as micro wave radiation. To me, it makes no good sense to add to the body's
already overly toxic load.
Blessings of Many,
Lizzie

Subject: [eSens] Clinical Trial
Hi all,
For some time I have been looking at different things that help damp down the
hyperelectrical/ inflammatory responses in the brain, like GABA and L-theanine,
similar to benzodiazepines.
I've thought for some time that benzodiazepine would be helpful in relieving symptoms. I
recently had oral surgery where that was used as the anesthesia. It did seem to give huge
relief to those symptoms for a couple days, and quite a lot for a couple weeks
afterwards, though they have gradually increased again.
While those are drugs you cannot take constantly, I think there is a big key here that can lead
to some useful treatments.
What I would like to do is get a trial going with benzodiazepine over the period of about
a year. I'm planning to write Dr. Magda Havas and see if she would be interested in
heading this up, to collect and correlate data, and then if it seems widely useful, maybe
it can be narrowed down more closely to a specific protocol.
I'm hoping to make a local Dr. app't. soon to discuss doing a trial with this for myself again,
and I am hoping there will be some of you who would like to participate also, asking your Dr.
to allow you to try this.
It wouldn't have to be real specific in use as yet, but tailored between you and your Dr. to
give it a try, whether you were to take it for say a week running with breaks inbetween, or
maybe a couple days a week over a longer period of time, or in one larger occassional dose
as in general anesthesia amounts, maybe a few times over a year.
If Dr. Havas is not interested, I will still collect the data, and work with my Dr., so we can see
what happens. I believe this, while likely not a cure, will be a big help in ameliorating symptoms,
and at least making life more liveable, such as people with CFS may use occasional codeine,
or saline IVs for helping with symptom relief on extra busy days.
So, at this point, you would have much more free reign to try it on varying amounts, what seemed
to work for you, and just need to keep track of how much, how long you used it each time, and
if you noticed any results for it, and how long they lasted.
This may also be helpful in translating into just how much of natural substances we may be
able to use to get similar dramatic results.
Anyone that would be interested in joining in this study, please just note here, and/or email me directly.
