LDN so far-will start antibiotics in Feb. 2006
Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2005 2:18 pm
Hello everybody,
I am Orestes, a 59 yr old male from Athens, Greece, who was diagnosed with MS, chronic progressive, about 10 years ago. I am an architectural painter by profession, and since I retired, draw for pleasure highly detailed, quirky caricatures of famous people.
I've been in a wheelchair with left leg/left arm weakness for about 3 years. I can walk very short distances holding on to a wall. There are no additional health problems, except for TMJ.
I was on weekly Avonex injections for about a year, until my first wife Athena who lives in America learned about MS from THIS SITE, and introduced me to the Swank diet (Roger MacDougall/Dr. Ashton Embry) and LDN. (Athena is also typing this, since I have no computer).
I've been on the diet for one year now, since Nov. 04, and on 4.5 mg/day LDN from Skip's pharmacy since July 19, 05 (I stopped the Avonex then). I took 1.5 mg LDNx1mo, then 3mg LDNx1Mo, and since then, 4.5 mg/day.
I experienced no adverse reactions to the LDN, at all.
I'm coming to the States at the end of January '06 for at least 3 months, and I'll start Sarah's antibiotic regimen then.
I DO feel stronger, holding my body up longer and better, since I started LDN. Urinary frequency at night has also decreased very much. In general, I feel better overall.
Proof of that is indisputable in my drawings, where the fine motor control improved very much, in comparison to drawings from before.
I know my diet and supplementation will be better enforced when I get to the States because thanks to this board, Athena will strictly do the food/supplements/juicing/antibiotics, just like they're written here. The fact that she used to be an intensive care nurse helps her very much in understanding things and transmitting them to me.
I'm glad that I don't have to suffer the 2-3 days of feeling beat up after each Avonex injection, and also think that treatments that enhance and normalize the body's natural functions make more sense than others that suppress them.
Athena has spent countless hours reading, learning, copying, translating from the posts here-in a few words-this site changed my life and I know will help me even more in the near future.
I'd like to express my IMMENSE APPRECIATION for this particular website, and the contributing members-what a difference from other sites!!!!!!!!
I hope you will welcome me in your wonderful community-We'll beat this thing together!
