Interesting....I just posted on the effects of Bioflavonoids in the Dark red bitter wines such as Merlot. I am not at all advocating that people should rush out and get drunk on Merlot, However it is reccomended by heart dr.'s and my MS specialist said a glass or two a month would be helpful. Now, t...

I have a glass of Merlot about once a month. Maybe it should be once a week. My Dr. told me it is the o and 1 wines like Merlot and Cabernet sp that the heart Dr.'s like people to drink. Not the sweet wines, Which are 5 and 6 on the scale of wines, but the bitter ones that require a tast for them. I...

I have been useing Avonex for 6 years now. When I first started your symptoms sounded just like mine. The [person who quoted use Aleve [sp] is right on. Nothing else seems to work. Take it easy the next day. Lay around and do nothing and take your Aleve [sp] every 12 hours before the side effects st...

As usual with MS, if you fix one problem, another one seems to replace it. So true.........I hope your wife is doing better, and I will pray for her.

I was told a week ago at my MS Clinic.... that we have to remember these are early data that the FDA approved the drug on.As part of the approval, the manufacturer has committed to continuing its trials of this product for another year. 66% WOW Further testing still needs to be done...on the CRAB's ...

I get daily e-mail news from this site....http://www.bostoncure.org/curemap/map.php They are pulling resources together to someday hopefully find a cure. Finn I believe this all lies in stem cell research. I don't know about your country, but it seems to get stalled in congress in our country. Every...

Good Luck to all on the trial study. Thank you for the research in this future medication. It sure does sound promising.

Take care.......Kim

Hi Finn, I have been reading this thread but never jumped in. Many of these clinical trials need to be larger. For example the Esteriol{sp} trial was only done on 17 people I believe.....That's not big enough. :? Also when they do double blind placebo controlled trials they put as much weight on the...

Thanks Jazzy. That was nice.

Good luck with the study Jan, Let us know how you do. I am still not having any problems with the Methotrexate/Placebo study drugs.
Take care.........Kim
