This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

Searching around Leptin info, found these studies which may be of interest. First three are MS related specifically and last two links are more about Leptins role in the immune system. Basically Leptin is a major regulator in the Immune system, low leptin levels - low innate immune activity - high r...

Since the recent red meat and carnitine scare was posted in a few sections I thought the rebuttals were worthy of their own thread. Below is a link to MDA Forum where it has also been discussed and there are links to rebuttals that have teased the integrity of this study to show it is nothing more t...

Olive oil and butter are great, ghee if you have dairy issues, coconut oil etc. Basically 96% of your fat consumption should be split evenly between saturated and monounsaturated and the other 4% should be split close to evenly between polyunsaturated Omega 6 and Omega 3, those proportions are guide...

The evidence has been slowly gathering that the "Good" oils are not so good after all. A number of studies using Omega 6 oils for health benefits have shown negative or nil outcomes, and with the analysis of arterial placque indicating that it was primarily composed of oxidised omega 6 oil...

Hi erinc, I'm May, too, but my daughter, who we fear also has MS, was born in December. I remember being tormented by the sun and heat that summer, so I stayed indoors a lot and thought the gigantic vitamin pill my ob-gyn doctor prescribed would be enough to cover all bases--seems I was wrong. :( W...

However, is the answer really a diet high in meat and saturated fats? Low carbohydrate-high protein diet and incidence of cardiovascular diseases in Swedish women: prospective cohort study Your question and the study title do not relate to the Paleo diet, they both hark back to the early Atkins die...

When you are able to take on that the Conventional Wisdom (CW) fear of fat was based on flawed assumptions, then find science actually confirms the opposite, you begin to question other CW reccomendations, particularly the base of the USDA food Pyramid, noting ofcourse this is not a nutritional pyra...

This has also been posted in another thread, IMO the conclusions drawn have dubious value.

There is not enough information available to determine if this study has any validity, it still lies in the realm of "Corrolation does not prove Causation" What are the details of the subjects? As there is only the abstract available and some figures it is hard to analyze, in one of the fi...

Thanks for resurrecting the thread, gave me some extra info on GD, In addition I posted a link to a Vid by Loren Cordain (Paleo) discussing a possible pathogenesis of MS via diet and the Gut sponsored by Direct MS, In this presentation he discusses the role of EGF and it's receptor in this pathway. ...

Not withstanding other contributing factors like epigenetics, vitamin D, stress etc., I agree that nutrition is likely at the core of most chronic disease conditions. Through my readings I am finding that there are two key nutritional factors that seem to contribute to systemic inflamation: 1/Excess...

If you want really good brain food, coconut fats are the best, high in medium chain triglycerides and readily usable by the body, it's being used in studies for Alzheimers and Parkinsons with positive results, not to mention the positive effects of a Ketogenic diet on drug resistant epilepsy. I'm no...

Firstly you have to disect the information to realize that it's never actually been proven to be bad for you, all research data linking saturated fat to heart disease stems from the ancel keys 7 country study which showed that there is a linear corrolation between heart disease and saturated fat con...

Leonard your tenacity is comendable, like a dog with a bone. We used and still use Carnitine in treating fatigue symptoms in my partners thyroid condition and in unofficial trials we have done in concert with our naturopath who now regularly prescribes it to her patients, primarily as a metabolic ai...

Thanks for the suggestion , Cave. The resistance to trying this though is beyond what anyone might predict, Sorry, don't buy that at all, You are saying you have a fail safe cure, You have numerous individuals who will stand up for you because they have been cured and you can not find one single in...
