Her blood tests are much better than before her MS, and the supplements, especially when she takes many antioxid...

I give to my wife 3 caps per day Phosphatidylserine since the first days of her MS along with Q10, ALA, AlCar, Omega 3!
Later we added lots of supplements that help too

Shikonik and Apigenin, two natural supplements inhibit inflammasome and Epstein-Barr virus reactivation:

Basic science research but interesting in that it provides some explanation of the MS EBV link and a potential target pathway for treatment. Interestingly this pathway is likely to be less immunosuppressive! https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-05-mechanisms-multiple-sclerosis-treatment-strategy.html...

The first-ever adaptive clinical trial for Australians living with MS will seek to reverse neurological damage caused by progressive multiple sclerosis. With an initial $4 million in funding, the trial, commencing in January 2024, will enable researchers to investigate the potential benefits of seve...

More or less half quantity of Na-R-ALA is needed compared to R-ALA or R/S-ALA, perfect!

20 mg/kg/d is too much ALA and costs a lot. They don't mention what type of ALA they use. Unless a paper specifies R-Lipoic Acid or Na-R-Lipoate, I think it's safe to assume that Alpha Lipoic Acid refers to racemic R/S-Lipoic Acid. I assume with less quantity of Na-R-Lipoate we have the same result...

We all know that sodium salt of ALA especially in caps form is more stable, less sensitive to heat and light and has increased bioavailability, I don't know by how much though!

By searching the Cnicin (from Blessed Thistle) I found that Parthenolide (from Feverfew) promotes also nerve regeneration:

Wife takes daily among other supplements, 1 lozenge coenzymated B complex by Source Naturals (contains 25mg Calcium-D-Pantothenate), and 4 lozenges coenzymated B1 (25mg cocarboxylase each).
25mg coenzymated is equivalent to ~500mg of vitamin

Remyelination failure in diseases like multiple sclerosis (MS) was thought to involve suppressed maturation of oligodendrocyte precursors; however, oligodendrocytes are present in MS lesions yet lack myelin production. We found that oligodendrocytes in the lesions are epigenetically silenced. Develo...

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has awarded Inflectis BioScience a grant valued at $649,601 to advance the preclinical development of IFB-048, the company’s experimental treatment to promote myelin repair in multiple sclerosis (MS). “This grant along with the support from the Society are a t...
