Something I recently sent to my relatives and friends: An addition to what I already sent (shown below): Covid19 is a self-assembled nanoparticle, not really alive. People who work in the nanotechnology industry may know how scary that is. The human race may be defeated by a mechanism Darwin warned ...

While doctors, nurses, and medical people have been heroes fighting Covid-19, I am disappointed that I have not seen anything on use of soap to clean infected areas, like nose an mouth. While this is not effective to completely wipe out the disease, it can help. Dilute liquid soap will clear infecte...

Hello, long time, I cannot think of doing anything more with CCSVI. I think in this case Dr. Semmelweiss (who was the subject of a recent Google Doodle) might have something to say, if he were alive. Some health care people have not distinguished themselves regarding CCSVI. Plus It takes a metric to...

Congratulations to Dr. Paulo Zamboni on article in Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology . https://www.umbjournal.org/article/S0301-5629(17)32440-7/fulltext It seems the astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) did ultrasound on earth, went up to the ISS and did it in space, then did it agai...

Could this be related to why treatment for CCSVI sometimes works for a while?

Hey I just got an email ad for Mavenclad (cladribine) and its apparently approved, but my doctor friend says never take a new treatment in the first 25 years. Give them time to debug. That said, my back and leg pain appears to be receding on its own. I like when that happens. But it's a new symptom ...

I have been for an MRI of my spine. I suspect it is just a case of path-of-least-resistance, but the following was said in an exchange with my family doctor: From: Doctor May 10 On your MRI there are multiple mild disc protrusions in your thoracic spine that indent the anterior (front part) of the s...

Acronymosis © Chris Sullivan 2019 Many organizations, both governmental and NGO, suffer from a problem, commonly found in government bureaucracies. In fact, there seem to be serious cases of it at provincial, federal and municipal levels. These may have been acquired by proximal activities. People f...

The subdivision of MS sufferers into 'types' has allowed neurologists to prevent insurability of MS patients, denying them use of existing insurance agreements to pay for conventional medical therapy. My wife and I both begged them. They all said no. This should be the subject of a MASSIVE class act...

OK I have had unusually fast hair growth, including places I have never had it. Since starting biotin. Nail growth too. My friend who is my age who broke her neck at 23 and had car accidents since, says she has had terrible hair and nails for years. So I sent her a bottle of biotin. We'll see in a f...

It's people!!!!

Well digested, very good for you.

The attention of some of the best minds on ThisIsMS reassures me. I think these arguments are too easy, though. I doubt you can conclude much about MS from the date of the first documents or case instances, since we are talking about tiny sample sizes. (About volcanic activity: it can protect agains...

I have to wonder why there has been no comment on this. I thought we had some very smart people here. Isn't anybody even curious about the predicted sharp decrease in the incidence of MS, due to end of leaded gasoline? Or do we not want to know?

I have a wheelchair but I only use it when I can't go the distance with my walker. My legs have hurt lately but I have been classified secondary progressive for many years. Once you have used a cane you can be classified SP. It does not mean anything about what your future holds. As far as I have be...

That was it. I took some codeine last night. OK at rest. How did you know? No NuStep, OK this morning. Yay. Happy Valentine.
