the 14mg iron tablet i take says in the top womens health, so i came across this article about problems with men taking iron supplements, but as my ferritin levels are already low, hopefully the 14mg ttablet wont overload my ferritin levels: http://www.livestrong.com/article/241733-should-men-take-i...

Are you aware of any daily limits a MS patient should consume fats and sat fats, As in Dr Swanks MS diet book he advises no more than 15 grams of saturaed fat per day , and to consume 20 - 50 grams unsaturated fats per day i do supplement with 50mg zinc picolinate daily and today have started taking...

Hi Jl, meats i eat npw are chicken 3 times a week, salmon twice, king prawns on ce, scallops once. I removed red meats and significantly reduced fats because my Dr kept stressing the bad affects it has on MS, even though i assured him it was grass-fed organic red meat, he still wasnt happy about red...

April 2012 i started the Wahls diet, which in October my blood tests showed low red and white cell counts, and lymphocytes, which i believe is a clear sign of Anemia So since m y legs/bladder kept getting worse on the diet or at least remained poor, i sincluded gluten free grains in December and rem...

thanks fr the replies, as i use the laptop the majority of the day, would it be better for my vision/eye health if i turned the screen back light off? as i would of thought the back light strains my eyes , if looked at for long periods? or is it better to leave the screen backlight on full? i can re...

This was an MS symptom i never had, but over the ast 2 years i have noticed my vision reading the laptop, whic...

thanks JL for the continued support

yes, in about 6 weeks i've gained 20 lbs (now weigh 130lbs) from the 3x daily gluten-free grains, this was my weight before starting the wahls diet in April 12' but as i'm 5'11" i ideally want to get up to 140lbs, so i will be increasing the amount of g3 grain i eat i have already had my zinc a...

hi JL. I understand your reasoning for the washout, its just being in the UK I get very little sunlight, so i would supplement with D3 regardless, and as i already had my levels tested when taking 5000 IU (including 5 day wash out) it would be good to know my D3 levels when taking 10,000IU without t...

... stop all supplements several days before your bloods are drawn? After showing anemia - low red cell count, low white cell count, low haemoglobin, in October and December of last year (when on the Wahls diet 100% strictly- i now eat gluten-free grains), i am due to have new bloods drawn next week...

i appreciate everyones veins would be different sizes, but are the sizes of the balloons they used abnormally small/big for the IJVs/Azygos or are the a pretty standard size? I cant say for sure how much experience the IR had but there was a 1year+ waiting list so can only assume they were performin...

thanks cheerleader & cece for your replies, i weight train 3 times a week, but after the angioplasties i left it several weeks before going back to weight training s i was concerned it could cause restenosis from the raised heart rate/blood circulation. last year i had upper cervical chiropracti...

Hi, I had CCSVI treatment in Aug 2010 (balloon angioplasty both IJV's) I experienced 3-4 weeks of slightly improved walking (EDSS went from 6.5 to 6) which then reverted back pre-procedure condition So in Dec 2010 had balloon angioplasty again, but this time as well as both IJVs there was 95% stenos...

Has anyone had these botox injections in the bladder?

Which option would be easier / safer on the human body .... BOTOX injections once every 6-9 mo...
