My uthoffs is similar - it takes a very small increase in temperature to affect my vision. It also causes weakness in my legs. The nitric oxide link sounds interesting. Does anyone know of practical ways to reduce NO?

I've been looking into vitamins etc to make sure I'm not missing anything that could help my MS. This site has been really helpful in my background research. For example, i'm going to balance my D, zinc, mag. I'm also interested in B vits and have a few questions; - there are many B vits - are there...

Yes, me too. My first dose was in spring 2011, and I have increased the numbers since then to around 200.
So far so good

Have you looked into bacteriotheraphy/ fecal transplant? This is quite new but the idea is that there is a connection between inflamatory/ immune disesases and guts colonised by 'bad' bacteria. The procedure has been used with success at treating hospital infections such c-diff and also chrons. Some...

Thanks for posting this article. I've read it and am interested in what will happen next. Do you know what the next steps are to translate the proposals into actions? How much influence will it have to get things changed?

I believe its called Utthoffs phenomonon, due to incomplete remyelination - the heat somehow inhibits neural conduction. The data is only limited by the relatively low number of subjects. In the Argentinian stu...

Its good to hear of someone else interested in helminthic therapy. I always planned to "spread the word" if it showed signs of working. If this keeps up for another couple of years I'll be even more encouraged. Meanwhile 18 months is a good start. It does apparently take the worms a while ...

Hello. Yes there is some research and small trials going on at Edinburgh and Nottingham Unis I think. I think they may be using whipworm rather than hookworm, but its the same principal. I have been using hookworm since Spring 2011, increasing the dose gradually, and now host over 100 helminths. Thi...
