Helen Dynda,You should be ashamed of yourself...

Helen Dynda,
You should be ashamed of yourself for being party to such a low and insensitive "plot" to harvest suffering and desperate ARD patients to Endogyn! ( *see post in the UK below) This is the most insidious deception of your fellow ARD sufferers that I ever saw, and YOU, of all people, being party to it makes me sick! YOU have sent ME material about "Christianity" and then I get this about YOU!

Helen, you can "tattle" to anyone you want, but it will do you, or Daniel, no good, as with THIS recent post in the UK ARD web site and other posts regarding Endogyn, I will expose them ALL for everyone to read and for everyone to draw their own conclusions about, after all, to quote your own words, " Knowledge is Power!"


(By the way Helen, I am very well yet today, and not angry nor harboring anything from my walk with ARD, however, what I do get "angry" about is stuff like this that takes advantage of those who are suffering enough as it is, and who do not need to be victimized by those within their own peer group, like you. You should be ashamed to try to implicate poor David in IHRT stuff! You knew better too, and we all knew that you knew it! YOUR really a piece of work, Helen, a low budget piece of work and getting lower each time your name appears in ARD web sites and material.)

On a personal note from me to you, " What the heck happened to you that you have given what appears to be your "ethics and morals" for someone you KNOW is not what he portrays himself to be?"
Though you make many claims for Daniel regarding his "research" and "surgical" statistics" YOU have never produced one single abstract to validate YOUR words of his claims, and neither has Daniel! I know that you understand the importance of abstracts when dealing with adhesion related issues, yet you seem to have compromised that importance in yourself? Why, Helen?

I think that had you not "denounced" your friendship with me by making false accusation against me some years past, you could have had YOUR space on any of our web sites, (not speaking for the IAS) but now that is impossible as there is no way you could ever be trusted, as in this post, you appear to have dropped to the lowest level void of ethics by following Karen Steward, and you have followed her right down to the bowels of deceit!

You, Karen, and others, make comments about how "evil" Dawn and I are, yet you seem to forget that Karen, Connie and others took to task many in the IAS, not just me! You seem blind to the fact that maybe, just maybe Dawn and I are right in our pursuit of the truth at Endogyn, in order to spare others from further harm, and from becoming bankrupt due to false claims backed by YOU!
All we ask for is validation of Daniels claims and promises, but all we seem to find is a web of deceit and fraud...and lies, and you also see this, yet you remain loyal to not just Daniel, but to Daniel's dishonest behaviors.
You also seem to have forgotten, and maybe forgiven, the dishonest behaviors of Karen, Connie, Sally, and far to many other patients to Endogyn, when they "lied" about the outcomes of their own surgeries there to others in the IAS looking to harvest them to a surgery that simply did not produce the results they all claimed, and Daniel allowed those miss-representations to continue as it meant money in his pocket, not a concern for his fellow human beings, and by you condoning this behavior, Helen, your no different then Daniel!!

You will never convince me, nor do you need to, that you do not see the discrepancies in Daniels claims, comments and promises, ever changing, ever empty, as your no fool, at least not in understanding what really exists in Endogyn! Repeat surgeries costing thousands of $$ per patient, long difficult trips to and from Germany, not to mention the time away from home, and what did they get, Helen, that was any different then they could have secured here in the USA? A "smile?" A "compassionate word?" (though void of truth over and over again)
A surgeon who took pleasure in "mocking our Lord" in a public way? A "plastic" surgeon doing abdominal scar revisions when he did breast implants? A surgeon who has the least "credentials & experiences" then any other surgeon in the ARD arena? A surgeon" who is not attending the "Adhesion ISGE" meeting in Argentina right now, today? A surgeon who doesn't attend "Congress's," like you see the other International Ob/Gyn surgeons attend?( And for reasons that I know after discussing Daniel with a number of very credible surgeons throughout the world, bit I will keep their confidences to myself. Though, it does relate to Daniels reputation within these circles, be assured of that, Helen, as his own peers aren't blind to happenings at Endogyn either!)

Your no fool when it comes to realizing that Daniel doesn't offer anything any different then an ARD patient can secure here in the USA, and even though Daniel uses a LOT of Spraygel per surgery, it is ineffective in his hands, proven!

Helen, I will STOP my pursuit of exposing Daniel IF YOU can show me "abstracts" of his research and statistics of his surgical outcomes, as long as we cannot secure this information from Daniel, and address these simple issues:


Who were the patients used in such research?

When was this research done, as in what years it took place?

Where did the research take place?


What "WAS" the research areas Daniel claims to have completed?

How did Daniel secure the data used in his upcoming book?

How did Daniel secure his numerous claims in his web site of having such information. ( NO, NOT papers written by Shirli as they are biased and NOT abstracts!!)

When DID Daniel discover that his hook "created" adhesions, as he didn't make it public until 2005! (I suspect that you too knew this, but hushed it up due to your allegiance to Daniel and wanting of "your" web areas within Endogyn! You sold yourself out for a few spots in Endogyn?)

How many of Daniel's patients remain well today? (I have a list of 200 prior patients of Endogyn, 196 had surgery with ONLY Daniel, and I also have a list of many who have had a follow-up adhesiolysis here in the USA validating that they were NOT adhesion free at Daniels second look procedures! I do have permission to use this list in a public way, which I will do!)

Here you see how important it is to have the back-door opportunity of a 3rd-look laparoscopy. An adhesion formed to the umbilical incision of the second-look laparoscopy, and there is no way to avoid or exclude this as it is the last port that is open after we finish surgery, and this is still a very small wounded area with a minimal blood area where adhesions can form.


When was the last time one of the following surgeons performed a surgery at Endogyn and how often were they at Endogyn?


Harry Reich?
Dr. Mettler ?
Prof. Goeschen?
Any other surgeon for that matter?


Also:
How many US patients have returned to Endogyn for multiple surgeries?


How are they doing today?

Where are the results of Daniels follow-up screening?

Sunday, February 19, 2006 @ 04:42 PM Dr. Kru did you get a follow up form from me? If not please send me one. Thank you, Lynn Creacy

Why didn't Daniel refer Dr. Reich's email to him after he intercepted it from a US patient earlier this month?

Why did Daniel tell this lady that he performed over 3000 adhesiolysis procedures with 1 patient reforming adhesions?

Why did he tell this lady that he and Harry performed over 2500 adhesiolysi procedures at Endogyn?

Why did you, and Karen claim that Daniel invented the "Abdolift" with the patent made available to substantiate that claim?

Do YOU believe Daniel's words regarding his surgical claims with Reich?

Do YOU believe Daniel's claims of Co2 creating peritoneal lesions and adhesions?
If so, why?

Do you believe Daniel's words to the "Lady from Hawaii," and of his words to her?

On a personal note from me to you, " What the heck happened to you that you have given what appears to be your "ethics and morals" for someone you KNOW is not what he portrays himself to be?"

Though you make many claims for Daniel regarding his "research" and "surgical" statistics" YOU have never produced one single abstract to validate YOUR words of his claims, and neither has Daniel! I know that you understand the importance of abstracts when dealing with adhesion related issues, yet you seem to have compromised that importance in yourself? Why, Helen?


Come on Helen...who do you think your fooling here? Well, it's not me, that's for sure! I will say it like it is, whether you or anyone else likes it, as YOU know I speak the truth, and you nor anyone else owes me anything, least of all a confession, as what we both know well is that we stand alone in front of our Lord, and what is most important to me, Helen, is not what you think of me, or what I think of you, but what I will stand before my Lord with when that times approaches!

You want to use "Bible" quotes to "judge" me, go ahead, as I can do the same by pointing out that our Lord, Jesus, was too, subject to unjust persecution, and by his own family no less! If I am wrong in what I am doing in exposing wrongs being done to suffering , desperate and vulnerable people, then let me go to hell for all eternity, as this I can accept verses keeping quite when I believe an injustice is being done where I can intercept it and try to make a difference! This is a hell of a lot more then YOU can ever claim..at least not in the past three years that is!

Yes, Helen, this too will go public for all to see just how much IHRT has attempted to secure answers deserving of those who suffer ARD!


I will read each and every word you respond to this email with..and with an open mind, though I do expect your words to be substantiated with validations, not quoting Daniel, not using Shirli's written reports, not, giving YOUR personal opinions on Daniel's charisma and smile, as that doesn't do the surgery, just straight forward validations of your claims, and Daniel's claims!

(You can forward this to Karen and anyone else you want to, no problem in them helping you secure this information, it is actually appreciated.)

Lysis of adhesions in UK ---- or Europe?
« on: January 03, 2006, 02:38:41 PM »

Am new here but have had a fair bit of contact with Helen Dynda and read lotsa websites - including this one - on adhesions and potential treatments.Does anyone know if there are any good skilled surgeons in Uk who use the 'best practice' as described by Helen and the German surgeons? If not is it possible to get treatment in Germany through the NHS?I would welcome any comments as I'm having difficulty breathing and indigesting with this sticky problem ....Regards, K

Gasless Laparoscopy
« on: January 03, 2005, 11:50:25 PM »

Gasless Laparoscopy: New Technique of Laparoscopy without Carbon Dioxide GasToday, the surgical procedure known as keyhole surgery or minimally invasive surgery permits operations to be performed which formerly would have necessitated the use of the scalpel. Keeping the surgical wound as small as possible was for a long time the aim of physicians and surgeons. Therefore, surgical techniques were continually refined in order to gain access, with the minimum of adverse effects, to the site of disease. In gynecology, endoscopic investigations of the abdominal sex organs, such as the womb, fallopian tubes and ovaries, have a long tradition. Operations with the endoscope were also a routine procedure here. In the 70s laparoscopy was performed mainly for diagnosis or for tubal ligation. Thanks to the pioneer Professor Kurt Semm, from Kiel, more and more indications were established in Germany and worldwide. Today, laparoscopic procedures to treat benign manifestations in the ovaries and fallopian tubes (extrauterine pregnancy, ovarian cysts) as well as in the womb (myomas) are standard procedures carried out as a routine measure in endoscopic centers. The advantages of endoscopic operations for malignant cases cannot yet be definitively elucidated, which is why such operations are being conducted on an experimental basis in very few hospitals.Advantages of endoscopy Large surgical wounds are avoided on using endoscopy. Therefore, there is markedly less wound pain after surgery. The patient recovers and becomes mobile more quickly, hence the hospital stay is considerably shortened and indeed procedures can even be carried out in many cases on an outpatient basis. The cosmetic result is considerably better since only small scars remain. Wound healing disorders are seen less often after endoscopic operations than after open abdominal surgery, and there are fewer problems due to adhesions and scars. Risks and disadvantages of endoscopic operations But like all operations, endoscopic procedures also pose certain risks such as, for example, hemorrhage, organ injury or infection. Moreover, it can come to light in the course an endoscopic procedure that conventional surgery is warranted. Endoscopic procedures necessitate insufflation of the abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide in order to obtain a sufficient view of the surgical field and grant the surgeon enough space to work. This causes considerable build-up of pressure in the abdominal cavity and reduces the body temperature due to the cold gas, which in turn causes pain that in some cases can persist for several days, radiating to the shoulder and neck regions; these manifestations can prolong and complicate the recovery period. Moreover, the gas is held responsible for further side effects whose implications have not yet been adequately clarified. For example, there are increasingly more reports in the literature about incidences relating to carbon dioxide, which is converted in the body to carbonic acid. Long operations with carbon dioxide may lead, above all in older and less healthy patients, to a decrease in the pumping action of the heart or to overloading the organism with carbonic acid, and this in turn can cause acidosis of all organ systems. Insufflated gas can in very rare cases lead to gas accumulation in the vascular systems of the lungs (gas embolism), heart (decrease in coronary blood supply) and of the kidneys (poorer perfusion) or to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the subcutaneous tissue of the skin (emphysema). While such side effects of carbon dioxide are extremely rare, they can prove fatal (kidney failure, heart attack, pulmonary embolism). Typical complications of an endoscopic procedure can occur while inserting the Verres needle - for gas insufflation - or the secondary trocars. This "insufflation needle" is pierced "blindly", i.e. without visual control, into the abdominal cavity. After the abdominal cavity has been filled with gas, the first trocar for the optic is inserted (also without visual control). Both can in rare cases cause injury to vessels or organs (for example the bladder, intestines, stomach and others), and this in turn can trigger emergency situations (e.g. bleeding) warranting immediate action. An undetected bowel injury following coagulation often results some time later in acute ileus and massive infection. Endoscopic operations are clearly more difficult and are therefore performed only by a few centers. By working with overly long, specially modified instruments, the surgeon loses tactile perceptions. The instruments are unfamiliar; they have the most diverse gripping systems and small graspers. All this detracts from precision during surgery. Only very few surgeons develop the ability to operate in the abdominal cavity with only indirect visual contact, i.e. looking at the monitor. Therefore, the learning curve associated with endoscopic surgical techniques is very long. The complication rate for endoscopic procedures is also higher than in open surgery, especially in the case of surgeons who are not yet optimally trained. This is also one of the reasons why, following the initial euphoria, stagnation can be noted in the spread of endoscopy. In order to avoid gas loss via the instruments, special trocars with valves were developed. The instruments themselves consist of multiple tubular and shaft systems which mimic the rotary and angled movements of the hand. To avoid gas loss while changing the instruments (for example between scissors and graspers), multi-functional instruments were developed. Industry has to make massive investments to manufacture these instruments, which is why the costs incurred for such instruments are much higher than in the case of conventional instruments. Endoscopic instruments are more laborious when it comes to maintenance and processing. Due to the myriad tubular systems, special washer-disinfectors must be purchased to clean these instruments and eliminate contaminants based on body secretions and blood which could cause infection. For the past 75 years (since the introduction of laparoscopy with carbon dioxide) industry has been trying in close cooperation with endoscopic surgeons to overcome the problems emanating from endoscopic procedures using gas. In the meantime, a very important market segment has therefore developed which, by continually developing newer instruments and equipment, makes endoscopic procedures using gas safer but also more expensive. The costs are spiraling due to, among other things, the use of special thread and suture materials, widespread use of disposables, such as titanium clip systems, suturing devices and angled instruments; all this calls into question the benefits of endoscopic procedures. Professor Axel Perneczky, neurosurgeon from Mainz, made the following statement regarding endoscopic surgery: "Keyhole surgery can be likened to a situation where we try to sew on a button on the bed linen in the bedroom with a tweezers through the keyhole of the front door; moreover, the rooms are full of furniture, around which we have to maneuver the tweezers..."Quotation by Dr. Daniel Kruschinski on the development and introduction of gasless laparoscopy: "Keyhole surgery can also be likened to a situation where we use a ladder to try to come in through a closed window of a bedroom on the first floor, although the front door is wide open..." New Technique: Gasless LaparoscopyThis method is based on the fundamentals of minimally invasive surgery combined with the conventional technique of "open" surgery. This technique prevents or minimizes all the aforementioned disadvantages, risks and complications of endoscopic operations with carbon dioxide, while preserving all the advantages of laparoscopy e.g. minimal scars, better cosmetic results, less wound pain, rapid recovery, short hospital stay, etc. Consequently, it means progress (the combination of newest techniques of endoscopic surgery) through regress (established and proven conventional techniques of open surgery). Insufflation of gas into the abdominal cavity is dispensed with. Instead, a special lift system, which is inserted into the abdominal cavity via a small cut in the lower umbilicus, raises the abdominal wall mechanically. This allows a similar view into the abdominal cavity as that afforded by laparoscopy with gas. To insert the instruments, two further small incisions are made above the pubic bone for the flexible trocars (see also Video and Photo Gallery on the adhesions.de website).For More Information Contact Dr.Daniel.Kruschinski@adhesions.de

Re:Hi from Ireland looking for info on Sraygel Surgery
« Reply #4 on: August 24, 2004, 08:14:16 AM »

Hi Mel,Spraygel has been available in the UK for about a year now. Some surgeons have expressed fears that it may go the same way as InterGel and give people alergic reactions. The members that we have on our board who have used it, still have some pain but there are others who have had it done in Germany who are pain free.There is a new barrier coming out soon in the UK that sounds like what we have been been waiting for. Hope this is of help to you.

Advantages of Gasless Laparoscopy
« on: January 04, 2005, 12:08:36 AM »

Advantages of Gasless LaparoscopyAdvantages for the patient: by dispensing with insufflation of carbon dioxide, there is considerably less pain after surgery. Essentially, the shoulder pains observed after endoscopic procedures are avoided or greatly reduced. The patient needs fewer painkillers compared to laparoscopy with gas. The recovery period is shorter, with the patient returning to normal activity faster than after laparoscopy with gas; for instance the recovery period after a hysterectomy is only approx two weeks. The operation is safer and more precise because one can dispense completely with the long and unfamiliar instruments. The risk of infection posed by inadequately cleaned endoscopic instruments and by different tubular and pumping systems is eliminated. The serious complications associated with "blind" insertion of the Verres needle or trocars into the abdominal cavity are avoided, because in gasless laparoscopy the abdominal cavity is accessed under visual control. Complications from clips, suturing systems or electrical coagulation, e.g. injuries to the ureter during an endoscopic hysterectomy, are avoided. The not yet foreseeable late complications caused by titanium clips remaining in the body, which must still be investigated, can be avoided. All aforementioned side effects, risks and complications caused by carbon dioxide are avoided, so that in addition to young and healthy patients, older or risk patients can also be operated on with the gasless method. This technique also makes it possible to perform endoscopic procedures under regional anesthesia, something that was not hitherto possible because of the massive pressure from the pneumoperitoneum in the abdominal cavity, which causes pain and organ compression (diaphragm, lung). Operations can also be conducted on pregnant women using gasless laparoscopy, as there is no pressure build-up, caused by gas, on the growing uterus (miscarriage, decreased perfusion of the placenta and of the baby). Gasless laparoscopy in pregnancy can be carried out as it avoids acidity of the blood of the fetus so that organ damage can be prevented and, moreover, the operation can be performed without general anesthesia.Domenico D'Ugo, anesthesiologist from Rome, stated in 1997 at the International Symposium on Gasless Laparoscopy in Gynecology: "The use of carbon dioxide is almost the only reason for exclusion of risk patients from laparoscopy, who in truth would be the only ones to benefit from the minimally invasive procedure ..." Advantages for the surgeon: the dangerous complications, which are typical of endoscopic surgery, resulting from "blind" insertion of the Verres needle for gas insufflation or of the first trocar are avoided. In addition to special instruments, the surgeon can also use traditional surgical instruments. Accordingly, sutures can be applied using the tried and tested needle and thread method instead of clip and suture apparatus or electrical coagulation, which are expensive or can cause complications and whose benefits have not yet been clarified. Tried and tested surgical techniques which have proved themselves over decades can also be used, thus enhancing precision and safety and shortening the operating time. Unlike when using the long endoscopic instruments, the surgeon preserves tactile manual perceptions and can thus feel what he is cutting, holding or compressing. With the magnification conferred by the endoscope, the operation unfolds more precisely and more safely. Also the learning curve associated with the gasless technique for the surgeon is markedly shorter, because he need only learn how to interact with the monitor since the surgical technique remains the same as that practiced in open abdominal surgery and is therefore easier.Advantages for the healthcare system: minimally invasive operations using laparoscopy with carbon dioxide are about seven times more expensive than laparotomy. Minimally invasive operations with gasless laparoscopy are more cost effective as they dispense with systems that render laparoscopy with gas expensive. Instruments can be cleaned in the same way as hitherto, no special washer-disinfectors are required. Conventional instruments last considerably longer, they do not break as often as those instruments used for the gas method and need not be repaired or replaced so often. Neither is it necessary to continue using every novel instrument and technique that comes on the market so that the safety and maneuverability of gas laparoscopy can be improved. With the gasless method, no disposables are used, such as titanium clips and special threads which are enormously expensive. By combining the minimally invasive technique (short hospital stay and recovery period) with the cost effectiveness of the gasless method, this method of surgery is overall markedly more favorable than laparoscopy with gas. This technique is simple and easier to learn, so that more surgeons, who have so far not performed endoscopy surgery due to its inherent difficulties, can employ this technique and therefore more patients will benefit from the minimally invasive surgical method. Especially in the poorer countries of our world where, because of lack of the appropriate equipment and the high costs of devices and instruments, endoscopic surgical techniques were scarcely encountered or introduced, patients can be operated on with laparoscopy using the lifting technique. Indications in GynaecologySurgical treatment or removal of diseased sex organs, such as for example:Surgery for severe adhesions Treatment and removal of the wombTreatment of endometriosisRemoval of myomas from the wombRemoval of benign tumors of the ovaryRemoval of the ovaryTreatment of fallopian tube pregnancyDiagnosis and treatment of infertility.
