i have not, sorry, but i am using vitamins alone with success. i'm just fine tuning it to my own assessment of where i'm out of whack with my nutrition.

A friend does.

I emailed a friend with an MS diagnosis who strongly believes that B. burgdorferi (accepted cause of Lyme disease) also causes MS. She responded:
"Funny you should ask about Salt/Vitamin C protocol. I have been using this protocol for 2 years. I have only made it up to 12 g salt and 16 g Vitamin C. I got to this point very slowly. High doses of Vitamin C can cause diarrhea. If I felt that happening I would back off of it by a grm or 2. I also take my antibiotics daily (Biaxin, Doxycycline, and Amoxycillin). The salt/Vitamin C is doing something also.

I was at a Lyme conference in VA two years ago and the docs brought up the Salt/ Vitamin C protocol. Their only comment was it couldn't hurt but monitor your blood pressure. I have very low blood pressure so I wasn't worried.

I used to always have cold feet and hands. A few months on the Salt/ Vitamin C I noticed they were no longer icy cold.

Also check out www.lymephotos.com for more info on the protocol. I have experimented with all types of salt. The one that works correctly is stated on that website.
I admire her persistence in searching for answers to MS, she has tried LOTS of things; but I do NOT agree with her thought or actions. I share this info because you asked, not because I endorse it. She is not a physician--check with your own before starting any protocol.

I support Arron's position and hope to operate within that framework! Good luck.
