This anti-fungal ingredient for athletes foot is Daktarin which is also the same ingredient used in vaginal thrush prescription known as Miconazole which makes me wonder if any over the counter or natural antifungal used internally would help as well to stimulate nerve stem cell production where nee...

Seeva, while I rarely respond to most postings on here however I appreciate all of the stem cell research news postings from you (and others as well) over the years as it gives me (I have CIDP since 1996) as well as others who are severely disabled by these auto immune demyelinating diseases hope th...

Since these are skin creams I'm wondering if they'll formulate these in a pill form to be taken orally in the near future?

Pain killers are a problem. Ibuprofen affects your kidneys, acetaminophen your liver, opiates your bowels, aleve I don't know but it hurts my stomach (take with food), and so on... You could try alternating the ones you can stand... Yeap one needs to definitely be careful when taking them as I usua...

I don't know why ibuprofen is singled out. I too have read about ibuprofen's positive upsides. I use for stiff muscles myself and haven't avoided while on the protocol. Make sure you are working with your doctor before starting the protocol.

O.k. thank you !!

PointsNorth, I watched the YouTube presentation and so thanks ... however I do have a question and that is why don't you take ibuprofen? ... as at least for motor neuron diseases like the one I have (CIDP) as well as ALS there's been recent posted research (ALS Forums) showing that high dose ibuprof...

Finally starting to see the first of the robotic devices for paralyses as hopefully in the near future these will be designed for those of us with neurological diseases and not just for spinal cord paralyses. http://www.popsci.com/article/science/first-exoskeleton-gets-fda-approval-us-sales?dom=PSC&...

For those of us who followed the 80's metal music scene a sad note to pass along and that is Clive Burr the former drummer of the 80's metal band Iron Maiden had died in his sleep (age 56) after battling a long illness (multiple sclerosis). http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/mar/14/clive-burr-iron...

I just saw this over in one of the ALS forums that i visit regularly as its the latest advanced Exoskeleton device for those paralysed from spinal cord damage, neurological diseases etc. (myself since 1996 from CIDP). When i first saw these about five years ago they were very bulky with a large powe...

Nice review of last years advances in stem cell therapy especially for those of us who have paralyses from our neurological diseases (CIDP since 96).

Hi Annesse Very interesting thread from you and while i do not have MS i do however have CIDP (Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy) or bassically MS in the peripheral system and not CNS as it's paralysed my feet 100% and weakened my fingers as well as double vision over some years now....

I inagine that vitamin D would be good for those of us with CIDP as well.

Thanks for posting the vit D article Squiffy .

Here you go, Harry--the full article does not name the compounds they have tested, so I did some more research for you. Here's the actual journal publication: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/02/07/1120195109 Here's the abstract---this is all being done in mouse models right now, and is very ...
