This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

There is a lot more detailed, cited information on David Wheldon's website: The Microbiology of Multiple Sclerosis.

David Wheldon's wife, the artist Sarah Longlands, posts on here as well under the moniker: Anecdote. Typically, her posts can be found in the "Antibiotic" forum.

CPn Help was started in 2005 by Jim Kepner, a clinical psychologist who works in Shaker Heights, Ohio. It has pages full of cited research about the ubiquitous C pn, much from Vanderbilt University.

My husband is Dr David Wheldon, a graduate of Bristol University who did a lot of his postgraduate training at the John Radcliffe Hospital, one of the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust. He treated me with the Vanderbilt protocol for C pn which has ensured that from being told eight years ago by my neurologist that my working life was over, I have done nothing but improve. I can't walk or cycle as far as I used to, but most people can't because it was a long way. I have had no relapses in all that time, though, and although David is reluctant to say that I am cured until I reach ninety, he is more than happy at the way things are progressing.

Hello Sarah So nice to hear you are doing so well. I heard about you through the Eurolyme forum so was aware that you had made a good recovery on antibiotics for your Cpn.

I suspect there will be many patients who could make significant progress on antibiotics, certainly there will be many who have an undiagnosed case of Lyme Disease and with testing being so poor for Lyme Disease it takes an experinced doctor to make that diagnosis. Anyone interested in following this up should look at Lyme Disease Action website and/or join Eurolyme.

In fact there is much medical research that has found spirochetes in patients with MS but current medical approaches are more concerned with suppressing the symptoms rather than tackling the cause.
