I was just on the CIDP boards (yeah, I joined another message board, lol), and found the most interesting posting. Let me know what you think.

This guy has CIDP, Chronic Inflammatory Demylinating Polyneuropathy, has been through Plasmapherisis, IVIG etc. and posted the following

"after visiting my parents in Florida (for Easter) and at the urging of my father I started taking a formula of grape juice, apple juice and vinegar, by December I felt so good I no longer needed to receive the Immune Globulin, I still have the symptoms but my energy level is near normal. If anyone is interested here is the formula, one can of Welch's 100% Concord grape juice concentrate (yellow top can), one can apple juice concentrate (I use Seneca), three cans of water,not six (I use filtered water), eight ounces of apple cider vinegar, mix. Take two ounces a day. If this has an effect please pass it on. jimmie

Okay guys. What do you think???

Drinking vinegar, daily- is the secret to longevity throughout the Applacian Chain. Just ask any octegenarian in the hills about it.
They'll say thier mom made 'em drink it, sayin it was good for 'em.
Been doin' it ever since!
The apple and grape juice seems to be a way to get it down more easily- and have good properties of thier own, according to some vegan and health food fanatics.

Well, you must know what Alan (and I) will be drinking from tomorrow on (if I can get to the store).

Happy Trails!!!!!!!

has long been used on livestock to repel flies. I am NOT implying that Alan needs any repellant's tho...NOT AT ALL!

As for you getting in 'regular' with the nurse? Must've been the muffins!

I am truly happy for you that the infusions went so well.

BTW I take 3 Benedryl and no tylenols before each infusion. I too, need a serious doze after each session.

Take care - j

I've heard similar things. I have no personal knowledge as to whether it works or not. I'm interested in hearing if this has worked for anyone else.

I do know that I'm feeling a *lot* less tired since I started the B-vitamin therapy. I take sublingual in the morning along with a B-complex tab and a B-12 and a Folic Acid in the evenings.

Mel, do you know how big the cans are?

I will get the stuff and give it a shot. Surely, it won't hurt and besides, it is getting to be fly season here in Texas, so maybe I can kill 2 birds with one stone...
