This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Hi - First post on this forum. I am Simon from London, UK. I have RRMS and currently take 3mg LDN in the evening which I still remain skeptical as I have had a few relapses of late. Maybe lack of nutrients is to blame???

I am a little confused with supplements and vitamins; I was originally taking high strength EPA (approx 2000mg EPA) together with Baseline AM & Baseline PM which is a mixture ...

Or has somebody even tried it?

Cherries - Good anti-oxidant - however I believe it helps lower uric acid. Uric acid is supposed to be good for ms.
Caffeine - I have heard both pros ...

I have been doing Polarity and Cranio-Sacral therapy for the past year and other than what she does for me she has given me specific body movements that seem to wake up nerves and have increased feeling and movement. I would like to know if there is any-one else who have done this type of treatment :?:

I've recently spoken to an MS patient who began Calcium EAP injections 16 years ago and is doing wonderfully. I'm interested in beginning the treatment myself. Is there anyone out there who does this? Anyone who has seen Dr. Moore in Indiana? Anyone who has been to Dr. Nieper's Paracelsus clinic in Germany? I'm wondering if there is a benefit to traveling to Germany for this. I'd love to hear about your experience if you ...

Is anyone here already taken Calcium AEP?

Can anyone make a recommendation for a natural vitamin/supplement to battle muscle stiffness?
