This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

I read an article that progesterone repairs brain damage. Is anyone trying Maca, a good source for minerals and orogesterone?

Does anyone follow Dr. Wahl diet? She cured herself of SMS.

Despite having MS for 35 years with all the corresponding symptoms, Dr. Dake did the test (MRV) and found NO blockage. No stents were placed. no relief of symptoms. I have no blocked veins. I cried all the way back from Standford.

Doing research on the internet I read that stenosis is caused by elevated homocysteine levels and a lack of B6 and foliates. Has anyone here had their homocysteine levels checked?

Thank you Jeff for your long post. I was diagnosed in 1978. I am scheduled for 11/23/09 and I am terrified. I founded and ran a development group for professional screenwriters for 6 years but the MS forced me to quit. I've always been to frightened to take meetings because of this illness But if yo...

What I meant was has anyone looked at the difference in recovery with the operation between patients who followed some kind of alternative approach and those who just did MS drugs. Just curious.

I am very curious about the operation and how it ties in with diet, heavy metal poisoning, supplements and Lymes disease and if patients outcomes are different when tied into any of these other approaches. I am due to have the operation at Stanford in November. I follow the Best Bet Diet, take suppl...

As far as I know, he has to review your MRI and insurance policy. As I understanded it, whether he does the operation depends on your MRV results. I don't know if he accepts everyone or not.

I spoke with my alternative MD and he said the stent operations are done all the time on cardiac patients with amazing success. He said he didn't know of a natural way to unblock veins and he encouraged me to have the operation. I often wonder if those who cured themselves of MS by diet actually had...

I have an appt. at the end of Nov.! I am so tired f all this I could kiss the hem of Alex's jeans!!! AAs far as I know I have no nickle allergy. I hope and pray this makes my life better!!!

I heard from Dr. Dake and Alex but they did not schedule me...sigh. She sais she would call me back but that was a while ago. She kept askng for a CD of my MRI but my neurologist only has an old report, not a CD, which I sent. Since it has been sereral years since my previous MRI, should I schedule ...

Tim, many people are misdiagnosed with MS when they actually have Lyme disease or Mercury poisoning. Do you have siver fillings?

I called Angela and she said Alex would call but it has been over a week. Dors anyone know how long the wait is? No doctor referred me, is this required? Are other tests required other than copies of MRI's? Please help!

I can't open Cheerleads file. Can anyone help?

This is facinating. This may be out in left field but I looked up venous insufficiency and I found out hrse chestnut seeds help as does Pycnogenol. I wonder if it would have any effect on CCVI. Does anyone wonder why only women get cellutite?
