Uric acid and inosine
Posted: Wed Feb 09, 2005 1:38 am
Hello,
There seems to be quite some evidence that uric acid levels in MS patients are lower than in healthy people, leaving us unprotected to oxidants. The following links give some background:
- http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Highli ... idants.asp
- http://www.albany.net/~tjc/uric_acid-pe ... -98.html#8
In my case I find this specifically interesting because I'm diagnosed with a heavy metal poisoning which could drastically increase the number of oxidants in my body. Has any of you been tested on heavy metal poisoning?
I consider taking inosine, which is a readily available compound and is naturally present in our body to increase my levels of uric acid. It also seems to have some nerve regeneration capabilities (cfr http://www.bostonlifesciences.com/image ... NOSINE.pdf). Anybody has some feedback on that or news from the trial at the University of Pennsylvania that should be ending?
Best wishes,
