@Dim I am also on a gluten free diet and am pretty much lactose free as well although I do consume a small amount of specific European cheese (genuine Parmigiano Reggiano cheese). Although I reside in the USA, I will not consume any type of dairy products from American cows. With regards to the supp...

@DIM I am taking all of the supplements you take, and many others as well. Great choices! Do you feel the supplements have helped her? I feel they have really helped me. My memory is excellent now and has been for many years after starting the supplements, far better than at any time prior to my dia...

I found this interesting article about brain nutrition. https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2024-05-23/science-pinpoints-nutrients-crucial-to-brain-health Yet, as is often the case, the article is somewhat incomplete.

Sorry for the late reply. I did not see your message until you posted the message above. I just sent a reply.

Hi Leonard, glad you are able to ride! The areas you are riding in sound beautiful! You are very fortunate to have such scenic areas to ride in. I love riding so much because in general it is the only time I feel 'normal'! Although I have balance issues, I don't have them while I am riding, so I hav...

I have always enjoyed cycling. After my first major attack over 10 years ago, I had to give it up. But instead of giving it up totally, I got a trike, used that for a few years, and then fortunately improved enough to use a regular two-wheel bike again. A couple of years later, for safety reasons, I...

As an experiment a few weeks ago, I increase the setting on the Accelera device that I wear on my right leg hoping for even more pain relief. I had previously been using it set to be 20-35 and turned it up to 60. Surprisingly my pain level and %frequency increased. It took me a few uncomfortable day...

I am always looking for ways to improve my health, and I have fortunately been reasonably successful. But this device has made probably the biggest positive impact on my life with regards to MS. While I know there are some difficulties for you to acquire and try it out, it is definitely possible and...

I have been taking higher doses of several B vitamins (not higher than recommended but more than contained in multivitamins/complexes) including B-12, B1, B6, B3, Biotin, Niacin, Benfotiamine and nutritional yeast, (high in B vitamins), but had never heard of B5 before . IF B5 can deliver what it pr...

I saw an ad on Facebook for a supplement called Fatty15. They are promoting it for its many health benefits and as a replacement for Omega 3 supplements. So, I decided to look into it. And based on the research I did, I decided to take it IN ADDITION to my Omega 3 supplements. I WILL DEFINITELY NOT ...

@ Jaded You don't have to wait; you just have to be a little bit creative and think outside the box. I wanted to share yet another wonderful benefit I have just come to realize I have had. I have experienced minor neuropathy (mild burning sensation) on the bottom of my feet for several years, usuall...

Never found a drug that didn't have side effects. LDN is no different: Low-dose naltrexone (LDN) has mild side effects, including: Dizziness Headache Difficulty sleeping (insomnia) Vivid dreams Nausea Vomiting Decreased appetite Joint pain There is NO definitive information that LDN works well for M...

Interesting, no amount of stretching and exercise helped me in years past in dealing with my drop foot - I had been wearing a 'typical' brace for years. I had actually given up. Yet within months of wearing the Accelera, I had major improvements, and my drop foot has been 98% eliminated. The Acceler...

How is this sleeve different from other similar products on the market?
