Oral Systemic Balance

Has anyone had experience with Oral Systemic Balance? It's a patented oral orthotic developed by a dentist in Tacoma Washington that, according to some anecdotes, has been effective in treating MS symptoms.

Like others, I had tears of joy. I am thrilled and hopeful once again.

However, I can't find the original announcement from Dr. Sclafani. Where should I look?

JJ, I wish I could definitely answer your questions. If I were on the Interferons or thinking about them, I would most definitely pursue this. It sounds like the blood test is available although it also sounds like Teva is still developing a test. If your neuro isn't helpful, I would get in touch wi...

JJ, I only know what I posted from Bloomberg News. From what I read there, it's available. If I were you I would bring this to my neurologist and ask for the test. See what he/she says. I'm on Tysabri, so this doesn't affect me. But I'll bring the paper tomorrow when I go for my infusion and leave i...

Is Georgetown accepting patients for TESTING AND TREATMENT? Or just testing?

I called last month but have not heard from them.

comparing MRV with DS & SV

Questions about the study comparing MRV, DS & SV that eric posted: What is PPV? What is NPV? Sensitivity? Specificity? Accuracy? It looks like it's a waste of money to get an MRV. Yet, Dake went from MRV directly to venography and treatment. MRVs are expensive and from this very small study poss...

I should add that when I went off Tysabri the first time, there was no rebound effect on MRI, only in my disability. I haven't had an MRI yet for this "holiday".

I can't say anything about the science of the rebound effect. I can only relate to you my single experience. I was on Tysabri for 12 months, went on "drug holiday" at neuro's insistence, felt great for 3 months, had an exacerbation in 4th month (not too bad), went back on after 6 months. I...
