I looked at this video and am going VERY far out on a limb, now. I am remembering my nutritional biochemistry. Alcohol is metabolized to acetaldeyhde (very toxic) by alcohol dehydrogenase. Acetaldehyde is metabolized to acetate by ALDEHYDE DEHYDROGENASE. Would drinking alcohol decrease the effectiveness of he HiCy?

Scratch that..It's acetaldehyde dehydrogenase that metabolizes acetaldehyde.

I know that it's been mentioned before, but what's the dose of Copaxone that HiCyers are currently on? It's a lot higher than the standard dose, no?

I'm on the standard dose. I use just one regular Copaxone needle each day.

The dose for HiCy patient is one standard shot per day.

that was indeed an excellent video.

i've read the presentation a number of times but having someone explain it from hopkins was ideal.

thanks very much.

Thanks for sharing this,the presentation is very interesting and inspiring,it definitely lifted my mood

L, it's great you are trying to get HiCy here in the UK,good luck with this and we wait to hear about how you are doing.
