Hi.
At what cost? I don't mean in gold.
Cyclophosphamide is a mutagen. How can we know that it won't cause cancer? And how do we know that it will really work? It should! It kills the bad immune system.
Why do immune compromised people with AIDS do suffer relapses? HIV is more potent an immunosuppressor than cyclophosphamide.
Why is there no immune system involvement in 30-40% of MS lesions?
Why do relapses tend to happen when the immune system is in a really bad shape?
Steroids relieve from many of the symptoms without affecting the course of the disease at all. How can we know that a cyclophosphamide-indecued MS parenthesis will affect the long term course of the disease?
I agree. Live for today! But why get a drug with nasty side effects that MAY work, without knowing if, why and how? Sincerely, there is almost nothing that can be done for MS by the medical community in the long term. And there is no such a thing like an "MS specialist".
My opinion is that the natural approach (diet, supplements etc) is much closer to the cause than anything else. What we need is plenty of luck.
