I would of thought they would be combining or extracting the best, and make a SUPER POOP! err.. i mean super-bacteria-combination. :razz: ie just maybe extract and breed the better bacteria? like the current general "stomach bacteria" pills you see. No kidding. Other scientific studies ha...

Thanks BadKitty. He hasn't given special instructions. I made an appt with him this next week.

You needed a nurse to help figure it out? What happened with that flare?

I'm trying to figure out if I am having a flare right now. I have been feeling a bit worse every day for a couple of weeks now, a little more numb in my arms and legs, a little bit less motor function in my hands, etc. Is this how flares start for you, or are they more sudden? And would you go see t...

Instead of skipping every other day, I usually only skip 12 hours at a time. I usually do the shot in the evenings, but will skip a day and then do the shot the next morning. Then, after a day or so I go back to evenings, 36 hours later. This way there are no more than 36 hours between shots, but I ...

Here is a chart that might help. Good luck with your decision!

Thanks for your replies. I too am generally skeptical of things like this, but it seems some get good results. Maybe I will give it a shot. Thanks!

My holistic Doctor recommended acupuncture for numbness\tingling in my legs. Does anyone have experience with this, and did it help? Thanks!

Anyone else excited about this? Some results from the first clinical trial based on the nanoparticle research first published this last November. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/06/130605144312.htm Quote: "A phase 1 clinical trial for the first treatment to reset the immune system of ...

Hi, I don't have any experience with HSCT, but have read a bit about it. The expert seems to be George Goss, who did HSCT a few years ago and has a blog about his experience and about HSCT in general. It is pretty comprehensive. Hopefully you can find an answer there. Good luck and I hope it works f...

"Cure drug" due on the market possibly by July? Which drug was he referring to?

I thought Lemtrada is about the only big potential drug in the FDA right now, and that one is an infusion drug....

Thanks!

They helped me and I have insurance. The nurse told me they cover up to $2500 of your deductible. Possibly more, based on your income.

Well, um, let us know how it goes? Since they say that up to 70% of your immune system is in your digestive system, I don't see why it couldn't help. Have there been clinical studies with MS and probiotics performed? Also, has anyone ever had the probiotics that require a prescription from a doc, an...

After a couple of weeks of taking it, your body stops producing its own testosterone (same reason they advise against steroid abuse). You become dependent on the testosterone supplement. A guy would have to weigh the benefits vs. the costs. If a higher testosterone level helps with MS, it might be w...

Personally, I am most excited about Lemtrada (Campath). I think they have figured out how to prevent/treat most of the side effects, and the prospect of having a 80% chance of no relapses the next 3 years sounds good to me. Some who were part of the original clinical trials went from active disease ...

Thank you for your responses. Jimmylegs: Thank you for your posts about nutrition. I have learned a lot from reading what you say and appreciate your approach. JeanDeEau: Very good points. You may very well be a business owner yourself. I don't know anyone right now to mentor, but have a few friends...
