Scleroderma: The Proven Therapy that Can Save Your Life

I cannot say how important, and life-changing this book was for me, at the WORST time in my life. I was diagnosed with diffuse, rapidly progressing Scleroderma in the fall of 2008. After googling my disease, and hearing from my doctors that I had 2 years to live, I was devastated. At 37, it was a stunning diagnosis, and I was in shock and disbelief that nothing could help me. Luckily, I researched my condition and stumbled upon The Road Back Foundation, and this book. I read it and everything explained in it (didn't matter to me if it was "anecdotal" or not) clicked. An infectious cause of disease? It was the ONLY thing that made sense to me. Your body doesn't wake up one day and decide to hate you and attack itself--it IS reasonable to think that an infection could cause a host of different diseases. I was offered conventional treatments, with a laundry list of side effects and NO studies that supported using toxic drugs to help reverse any symptoms. I began the antibiotic protocol immediately, and flew out to see one of the specialists mentioned in the book. I was an avid runner and competitive athlete prior to my diagnosis, and honestly thought I would never be able to be active again. After 6 months on oral Minocin, and monthly clindamycin iv's, ALL of my symptoms and damage started reversing. I could hardly believe my eyes, as I was skeptical from the start, and thought the therapy was too simple to be true. I'm happy to report that after 2 1/2 years on the protocol, I'm running 30-40 miles per week, have 95% of my function back, and expect a complete remission very soon. I've been able to discontinue the iv therapy, and am down to 5 days/week on low dose Minocin. My "conventional" doctors call my reversal "spontaneous remission" but, I know different. It's appalling to me that this therapy isn't even known or acknowledged by most of the medical community--it's simple, straightforward, and effective. If you or someone you know has Scleroderma, RA, Lupus, etc. PLEASE read this book. I'm NOT a case study in this book but, a real testimonial to what this therapy can do to reverse an otherwise life-threatening & debilitating disease. God bless you Henry Scammell and Dr. Thomas McPherson Brown for having the courage to think outside the medical paradigm and care more about saving patients' lives.

For 14 years I suffered at the hand of Scleroderma, in bed. I also got sepsis from a pic lne for chemo to turn my immune system off. Then, I was paralyzed from the Gillán-Barre I got from sepsis! I had to learn how to do EVERYTHING all over again! Eat, walk, personal things, dress, etc! Just one small common prescription gave me my life back!! My collagen deposits have stopped, a scar in my lung is gone, and my platelets have been stable except twice in 4 years. These were controlled with short doses of prednisone. For the last 4 years, I’ve been able to live a normal enough life that people don’t even know I’m sick! Except for once in a while, when I get tired or loose my balance from the paralysis. I’m SO THANKFUL, sometimes I cry from happiness. I still have things to deal with, like my esophagus not working, due to scar tissue from before I started this therapy! This book is worth 10,000 times the Drs’ bills I’ve paid up until this purchase. It’s an approximately 50 year old study from the original Doctor and he sent it to Harvard for proof. A new to me, Rhuematologist was familiar with the study and sent the prescription in for me. Check it out!

Great book

I have seen this treatment work for my mother first hand with her RA and now it's working for me. Do not wait! This book gave me hope when I wasn't sure if there was any left. I feel much better after been on the protocol for a little over a yr now.

Better information than this on the web.

I recently tested positive for Scleroderma by my primary doctor, so the month wait to see a rheumatologist was spent doing a ton of research. I happened to come across this book and quickly ordered it. Even though it arrived late and damaged, I read through it in 2 days. It is so scary getting a diagnosis of this type, but I now have so much hope that I can recover from this and be healthier than ever. I see a doctor this week that offers this protocol and I recommend to anyone that has received this diagnosis to get this book as quickly as possible. There are better alternatives than toxic drugs that don't even heal the body, only to create more health problems. I wish all of you warriors the best of luck. We can do this!

A very good book with a lot of good information. Even though a proven therapy, it is sometimes hard to keep your physician from poo pooing the suggestions given.

I have a patient with Sclerderma on this therapy and the condition is reversing! Not bad for an incurable disease. This is a book written for patients and non-medical personnel, but is extremely helpful for both. I highly recommend the book and therapy.

Very good.

Was very interesting and a new look at the cures for scleroderma that the majority of Doctors know very little about. If you have the noted symptoms and you have not been able to get any help I would recommend you take the book with you to the Doctor. I have battled for years and have been tagged with Scleroderma but still told there is nothing that can be done. My copy of this book is going to my doctor on my next visit.
