This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

CaliReader, thanks. The article reinforces, in part, my thinking as concerns the EBV/MS connection, but also raises new questions. The researchers looked for antibodies. Is it possible to carry the EB virus and not develop antibodies? If so, could whatever triggers MS simultaneously trigger a fight ...

To those in this forum who are more scientifically literate than I: I would like help deciphering the following paragraphs which are lifted from an article entitled “The risk of developing multiple sclerosis in individuals seronegative for Epstein-Barr virus: a meta-analysis.” At this point in helpi...

Very interesting. The article begs the question, though: If a healthy BBB keeps insulin out, would allowing insulin in be profitable. Perhaps the damage done to the BBB's of those with MS already allows in unrequired insulin. A ketogenic diet, providing ketones as an alternate fuel for the brain, wo...

Sunshine (the UVB part) produces Vitamin D via reaction with the cholesterol in our skin, and some subsequent conversions involving the liver and kidneys. (It is now D3, the type of D you want to supplement with.) If you get enough D from the sun (10, 000 - 30,000 IU's/15 to 30 minutes of full body ...

Anonymoose, thanks. I too agree that antibiotics are not without risks, with actions and consequences beyond the depletion of the microbiome, a very serious, if not catastrophic, matter on its own. May I ask, considering your poor reaction to the protocol, did you attempt to counter the die off of y...

Anecdote, just read the article at the above site. Such a large learning curve! The reason I had leaned towards minocycline is the lower dose required (due to greater BBB penetration), and Table 5 on Stratton,s patent website (http://www.pharmcast.com/Patents/Yr2003/Jun2003/061703/6579854_Chlamydia0...

Stratton suggests NAC as one of a number of effective agents as part of his therapy that is directed toward the elementary bodies of chlamydia. (See http://www.pharmcast.com/Patents/Yr2003/Jun2003/061703/6579854_Chlamydia061703.htm). NAC is also a potent antioxidant and contributor to the synthesis ...

The article states that Phase II trials are yet to start, so no proof yet it works. In a somewhat related study, involving immunization with myelin, quote, "the team was able to isolate a human autoantibody, which they labeled monoclonal HIgM22. Unlike industry-synthesized antibodies, HIgM22 is...

While I agree 'that such claims of panaceas and cure-alls are "always a red flag for quackery",' a couple of days ago I read an article entitled “Selective Blockade of T Lymphocyte K+ Channels Ameliorates Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis, a Model for Multiple Sclerosis.” The artic...

Hi Anecdote. I'm new to the site, here because of my adult son's recent diagnosis of MS. I apologize if this question has been asked of you before, but have you posted or do you recall your exact treatment protocol? I ask this because my son is soon to confer with an LLMD about a course of treatment...

After what I consider to be ample research, I have formulated what I believe to be a prudent, present course of action for my son, who was recently diagnosed with MS. I will attempt to explain how I came to this formulation. Although I will write as though what I say is fact, it is just my opinion. ...

The reports referenced in lyndacarol's post both end by mentioning the research being done in Italy with the BCG vaccine and MS. The researchers are, according to the printed article, having success in preventing "progressions of brain lesions in patients with advanced stages of MS" and, i...
