Hi Kulo, thanks for the creatine info, what dose size do you take? daily? i too had difficulty finding Hydroxytyrosol, but i later found a wild fish oil supplement that included Hydroxytyrosol http://www.iherb.com/Life-Extension-Super-Omega-3-EPA-DHA-with-Sesame-Lignans-Olive-Fruit-Extract-120-Softg...

a uro-neurologist has offered me this treatment option of having BOTOX injections in the bladder to improve bladder incontinence symptoms, he said it improves MS patients urgency, frequency and control of their bladder, you are under a local anaesthetic for 45 minutes during the injections, and the ...

okay, thanks JL

I was just told before fluoride isn't good for MS'ers
not sure how true it was though

okay, i thought zinc and copper had to be taken at different times, due to each one fighting for absorption, so best to separate ? From a bit of googling those supplements, they seem to be antioxidants and amino acids , so i guess it wouldnt hurt to take them - amino acids and antioxidants all seem ...

First, as i have recently re-introduced my supplements after being off them for blood tests, i was wondering what is an advisable order/timing of my following supplements: Calcium citrate (250mg) - Magnesium Glycinate (2x 200mg) - Zinc picolinate (50mg) - Copper Bisglycinate (chelate) (2x 2mg) - Vit...

sorry for the very late reply, i just realised,

since the last few weeks i did take 4x 2mg copper (elemental) Copper Bisglycinate (chelate)
for 2 weeks so hopefully this is increasing my copper levels

i've just found another bottled water that doesn't contain fluoride, what do others think of this bottled water instead of the other one i listed: Still Scottish Mountain Water Composition (mg/litre): Calcium <55mg Magnesium <16mg Potassium <2mg Sodium <15mg Bicarbonate <240mg Sulphate <28mg Nitrate...

hi jl, my b12 and folate were both High: Vitamin B12 - 765 pg/mL - range = 191 - 663 - HIGH Serum Folate - > 20.00 ng/mL - range = 4.6 - 18.7 - i assume they forgot to write HIGH on my results So as we now know my iron levels are in range, do you think my borderline LOW copper is the reason for my L...

Hi JL, I just got my results back for my ferritin level, if you remember i also got another FBC and liver function test at the same time - i got the bloods drawn on 21/12/12 , but i didnt start including grains in my diet till 23/12/12 but i had been including starchy veg in my wahls diet (sweet po...

thank you for the replies, hm maybe it would be better to stick with the mineral water in the mean time till i read more into it, as some say reverse osmosis is best, and some say no distilled water is, but they both lack vitamins, but i do take a huge range of vitamin/mineral supplements so not sur...

Hi mmpetunia, thank you for your detailed reply, you're very knowledgeable! sound like a doctor :) i see, so its unlikely the pressure sore is the cause of my worsening, hmm i thought it was the sore as my bladder became more frequent and legs weaker around the same time the sore developed,, maybe i...
