Re: Vitamin D: Scientific Studies & News
This is simple to explain. DIET - DIET - DIET They eat LOTS of fish and therefore get LOTS of Vitamin D3. jackD p.s. Of course those Eskimos who do not eat a native fish diet are at risk for health problems related to low Vitamin D3 levels. Also there are some concerns of excess Vitamin A toxicity i...

Re: Lipoic acid may provide ‘inexpensive’ MS treatment
That Lipoic acid helps MSers has been known for a long time. I have posted a lot on this in the past. The best version is R-Lipoic Acid.

Re: Just got my brain MRI results
When it comes to MS lesions three important considerations are LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. MS lesions are found in the CORPUS CALLOSUM and PERIVENTRIICULAR most often. Vascular lesions are uncommon in these locations. jackD http://www.radiologyassistant.nl/en/p4556dea65db62/multiple-sclerosis.html

Re: New to the site - MRI results
I think you are correct in suspecting possible early stage MS. I base this up on the locations of the " T2/FLAIR hyperintensity" ...... periventricular location and corpus callosum. See the below link. The fact that there are no enhancing areas is very good. One key thing is there must be ...
