The woman took part in the approval study in germany. They let her walk around with severe lymphopenia for more than 3 years! There were no other risk factors as explanation for the PML. So it looks like if Tecfidera is the only reason for this unnecessary case of death. Biogen had admitted that lym...

sorry, I don´t fully understand what you mean.
the other thread is about vitamin b12 which is something completely different than niacin.

I'm currently CIS and only real symptoms (so far) area dropped foot that appears after maybe 40mins walking or 30 or so running. Guess what I'm looking for is whether niacin can help in reducing relapse rate (I've only had the one for now) and progression of lesions or general deterioration (I.e. M...

I'm curious Ursula when you say you don't have flushes anymore is that because it has become well tolerated? Also when you say you have no symptoms that's amazing. How long had you been taking it before that happened? Has your level of disability changed at all? It is normal that the flushes go awa...

I am not a pharmacologist. I am mainly interested in trials like these: http://mssociety.ca/en/research/medmmo_vitaminb3_20060929.htm http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19461950 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2651433/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20554037 but I will check my homoc...

Also I finding conflicting reports on the safe level or amount to take given the supplements implications with excess use and the liver. Is 500mg to much or can I increase it? I take 1000mg niacin extended release. My blood levels are perfect (also liver enzymes). Should be monitored from time to t...

I have been taking vitamin b3 (niacin) for years now. The trials are very promising. http://mssociety.ca/en/research/medmmo_vitaminb3_20060929.htm I think only high doses are effective (I take 1000mg daily). The doses in mouse models are even higher but I got stomach problems with 1500mg. I have bee...

hi yannis, rumors, rumors, rumors.(':oops:') everyone has something to say about the charite trial but nobody took part. i took part and the sonography wasn´t made by a beginner but by the leader of the sonographic institute of the charite. and they are not at all sceptic about the ccsvi issue but i...

hi radeck, during the trial I wasn´t allowed to drink green tea of course (In still don´t know if I was in the placebo group or the "real" group). We got 800 mg egcg there. Unfortunately, you can´t buy the original stuff from the trial anywhere.. I can´t recommend a special brand of the eg...

hi cheerleader, also good to hear that Jeff is doing well! There are hundreds of trials on egcg - seems to be good in many respects, especially neuroprotection. I am also very glad that you can get it easily. I am really convinced that it works against MS. I´m just wondering if it will ever become a...

seems to be a good idea to go on with egcg...

hi (cheerleader), I haven´t been here in the forum fo a couple of months... in the meantime I finished the trial - unfortunately, they didn´t tell me in which group I was. The trial will go on for an other year or so. They didn´t even tell about my mri results! :x all I can say is that I have been r...

hi jimmylegs, I know you are very much into vitamins.. So I shouldn´t have said I tried all of them - because I basically tried everything else I was just too lazy to translate everything. I tried valerian, magnesium, bach flowers, various teas and so on... nothing worked. As I said, mirtazapin is w...
