writing to memebers
I am near a few doctors on the list. Do you think it wise to contact them and see if they would be interested in a consultation? I would think they would want a few agreeable participants for their research study.
Suggestions?
Thanks

Great job, Mark. Appreciate your opinion. Hope folks understand. We can't legislate morality. Our personal beliefs cannot deny others their rights. I may personally disagree with invitro fertilizaton, abortion, embryonic stemcells and euthanasia ...that's my right. But it's not my right to deny the...

thanks wilson, i'm still undecided. so with embryonic stem cells you are killing a possible baby if you use them? Robbie, are you asking when life begins? I can safely state that not one human being on this planet holds the facts to this answer. However, I know that some of us BELIEVE that life beg...

Why some aren't rejoicing
I can tell you why some are NOT excited by the news. And, here is why. Scenario1: Stem cell research other than embryonic is funded and a cure is found. Result: Everyone can partake in the cure. Scenario2: Embryonic stem cell research is funded and a cure is found. Result: only a certain majority ca...

I live in a high rate area...
In Colorado, 1 out of every 750 people is diagnosed having MS. That is far above the norm of 1 out of every 2000 diagnosed on the American continent. Has there been any studies done that show you may increase your chances of disability due to MS if you continue to stay in the high rate area? Or to p...

At first, I took one of the CRAB drugs. After three months of making myself sick, I decided to quit the jabs to the legs. I read a couple of articles about Minocycline and MS and decided to go that route. After a year of Mino only, I went on the whole abx regimen. With the recent studies of MS and t...

Congratulations on finding a doc that will prescribe the Minocycline. I took Mino for a year and had the same reactions you did without the nausea. I tried to take 2 100 mgs daily but had trouble breathing, especially at night. So, I just took 100 mg once daily for 9 months and worked up to the 2 X ...
