Sarcoidosis Answers for Physicians, Nurses and Patients

Here at SarcInfo, between 2002 and 2004, we identified the cause of Sarcoidosis, and successfully trialled a curative antimicrobial therapy. During 2005 and 2006 the US FDA designated the antibiotics Clindamycin and Minocycline as Orphan Products in the treatment of Sarcoidosis, and studies are ongoing elsewhere.

For information about this breakthrough, please post your questions at the current study-site, or the Autoimmunity Research Foundation.

 Parkinson's due to virus or toxin?
Author: Admin (207.175.253.---)

CNN carried a report tonight questioning how 4 television professionals, including Michael J Fox, who worked together in Canada on a TV show many years ago, have all come down with Parkinson's Disease.

This would be a 1 in 20,000 statistical probability, unless there was a common cause. Dr Don Calne is doing research to identify a causative agent.

CNN has a page at http://www.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/conditions/04/01/parkinsons.virus/index.html including a copy of the TV video.

Dr Calne says that there seems to be a genetic predisposition to Parkinson's which is triggerred by some unknown event.

Now where have I heard that before?

Trevor,

My neighbor has Parkinson's and I have often thought it strange that the language describing the etiology of Parkinson's and sarcoidosis is so similar. . . almost verbatim.

Why look at MJF? For one reason I like the guy, for another reason could sarcoidosis have any of the symptoms like Parkinson’s? Could we benefit from his research? http://www.michaeljfox.org/html/frameset.html

This is about a study using PET to study serotonin in Parkinson’s disease as it relates to cognitive and sleep problems in PD. Could this be related to the PET that was done on fibromyalgia patients? Could we shirttail on other more noted diseases?

Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive disorder of the central nervous system that belongs to a group of conditions called motor system disorders. Parkinson's is the direct result of the loss of cells in a section of the brain called the substantia nigra. Those cells produce dopamine, a chemical messenger responsible for transmitting signals within the brain. Loss of dopamine causes critical nerve cells in the brain, or neurons, to fire out of control, leaving patients unable to direct or control their movement in a normal manner. Most Scientists believe that it is a combination of genetic and environmental factors, but no definitive data exist. Toxic damage to the nervous system can be as serious if not more serious than cancer. Chemicals like styrene are known to indiscriminately attack tissue and the nervous systems. There is growing evidence that diseases like Parkinson's Disease are linked to man-made toxins, we should advoid neurotoxins like styrene. Parkinson's Disease does cause degenerative brain disorder that will rob a person of intelligence and hamper speech, walking, and the ability to perform simple tasks. So do not eat or drink around polystyrene products. My Husband’s company uses styrene. I know the smell of it.

Can you believe in order to fix my dental pain last week 3/02 a splint was made and it was definitley Styrene. Just like asking you to bite into a styrene sucker. yuck.

Eric Adler, wrote an article about what causes Parkinson's," The Kansas City Star, June 17, 1990, Section I, pages 5-6. Vaccination: 50 Things Doctor Forgot To Tell You Known and suspected effects of vaccines include, asthma, eczema, increased allergies, encephalitis, cancer, leukaemia, cot death, meningitis, lower motor neuron disease, juvenile diabetes, violent behaviour, and so on. Influenza vaccines are made from material taken from 'flu victims; material then processed with mashed chick embryos, taken from disease-ridden intensive battery sheds. According to Dr Duperrat, "...vaccination causes, furthermore, an explosion of leukaemia." Dr R Mendelsohn said, "There now exists a growing theoretical concern which links immunisation to the huge increase, in recent decades, of auto-immune diseases, eg rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lymphoma and leukaemia."

Dr R Moskowitz, writing in the Journal of the American Institute of Homoeopaths stated that vaccination could arouse latent, cell- bound, antibodyimmune viruses, leading, through stress or shock to "autonomous multiplication of cells, ie. cancer." Professor R Simpson, of the American Cancer Society, said that vaccines may cause rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus, erythematosus, Parkinson's Disease, and cancer. What Dr. G one of my dentists, thinks, is that his Fibromyalgia is a result of Vaccines. Nurses have to have vaccinations, Military have to have vaccinations

Kipy’s neighbor died shortly after a flu vaccination. Yes, man made materials cause many diseases. Possibly we could link together with other like-symptom disease.

Historical perspective on Sarcoidosis:


  1. The John's Hopkins Vasculitis Center: Prednisone Side Effects (incl. PHOTOS and PHOTOGRAPHS)
  2. Steroid-Treated patients Have higher risk of Cardiac problems
  3. "Evidence Growing That Inhaled Steroids, Like Steroid Pills, Can Cause Bone Loss"
  4. "Corticosteroids contribute to the prolongation of the disease by delaying resolution"
  5. "No data to suggest that corticosteroid therapy alters long-term disease progression"
  6. Cochrane Review - "Oral and Inhaled Corticosteroids have no discernible effect on lung function"
  7. Prednisone Improves Symptoms but not Lung Function in Sarcodiosis
  8. There is no conclusive evidence that corticosteroids affect the development of irreversible pulmonary damage
  9. Clinical Guideline For Treatment Of Arthritis Pain
  10. Angiotensin II receptor on BALF macrophages from Japanese patients with active sarcoidosis
