 Post subject: Advice on Supplements
PostPosted: Tue Jan 10, 2006 2:31 pm 
Hello,

I am trying to add supplements to my diet that will benefit my health. Currently I am taking Copaxone, a multi-vitamin and cod liver oil.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend anything additional that may help me. I have been reading up on different supplements but there are so many I don't know where to start. If you could recommend your favorite supplements and tell me how they have helped you I would ...

Very interesting. Still haven't done any tests on humans yet, so can't get too excited.

PostPosted: Tue Nov 15, 2005 7:59 am 
Hello to all. I am relatively new to "posting" and don't know if this is the correct subject area, but here goes...briefly, I have a daughter with MS and I spend hours reading/researching. I am a strong supporter of traditional medication but also feel there are natural choices that will help us also. I have a medical condition with no known cause and no effective treatment (interstitial cystitis). Some in the medical community feel it ...

 Post subject: Calcium EAP or Calcium AEP
PostPosted: Thu Oct 27, 2005 4:51 am 
I guess I am not really sure if you would consider the IV part natural... but I have recently been coming accross this one.

Intravenous Calcium EAP (or AEP as its called in hannover, germany).

It appears to have originally had good results, but appears to have fadded into the ether. It was even supposedly recommended by Dr Atkins in his book.

Has anyone personally tried it? I did a search for it on iHerb, ...

 Post subject: Progesterone Cream and Remission
PostPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2005 4:45 pm 
I have done a little reasearch about Natural Progesterone and the idea that if your pregnant and your body produces more progesterone and your MS goes into remission; why can't you use the natural plant derivative of soybeans or mexican wild yam root to put your self into remission?
Has anyone gotten any good reasearch on this subject?
I understand the carcenogenic effect on synthic progesterone and the drug companies don't want you to know ...

 Post subject: Anyone taking whey protein (HMS 90) "Immunocal"
PostPosted: Sat Oct 15, 2005 7:16 pm 
I would like to know if anyone has tried/ is taking HMS-90 (or whey protein, also known as Immunocal) and if they find it to be beneficial for relieving MS symptoms. HMS-90 is an antioxidant (glutathione) marketed to help treat autoimmune diseases but I could not find any clinical trials performed in MS patients.

Any information or personal experiences would be appreciated.
Thank you, Perseus

PostPosted: Sat Aug 06, 2005 7:31 pm 
Just a quick question, has anyone gotten off avonex, copaxone, rebif et al and actually gotten on vitamin doses and had it worked for them? I don't see any relief in avonex after 4 years and am getting a form of vertigo which really sucks(don't mean to offend but it does). I am not 40 yet with young kids and really want to find something that works well. Not desperate but tired of sticking a ...
