Great, thanks for deciding to raise bed higher. No it does not matter how long a person has ms, or indeed which category of ms they fall in. What appears to matter is the level of humidity in the home / area. So if someone is drying washing out on radiators or you have lots of house plants that requ...

Tilting a bed to make use of gravity is something NASA have been doing since the early 90's. I would consider their opinion as being worthwhile, especially when they go to the trouble of publishing their conclusions and thoughts. I hope you enjoy watching the videos. There are more interesting video...

Andrew, Is 5in. beneficial, I will surely raise it another inch if you think best. Hi Lynn, 5 inch incline is ok, but 6 inch incline is better. It makes no difference what kind of injury a person has sustained, be it by surgery or by accident. IBT accelerates the healing process by supporting the c...

How goes the so-called "sodium pump" fit in? Trees don't like saline. Thanks for your reply Increase the density of the soil water by adding too much salt and you counter act the density change from evaporation. The downflow (phloem needs to be denser than the return flow (Xylem) The publ...

Hi dlynn. Yes I have been saying this since 1995. If we can maintain cerebrospinal fluid flow by correcting our sleeping posture, damaged myelin should benefit. Stagnation of csf flow is common and detrimental. csf can also flow in the opposite direction so therefore cannot be directly influenced by...

Now, some doctors are pointing out that the problem might also -- or instead -- include a delayed drainage of spinal fluid (CSF) which could also explain many of the symptoms we deal with. CSF drainage issues can sometimes be addressed by dental treatment and/or an AO/NUCCA chiropractor. What could...

Interesting paper highlights the problems with explaining csf circulation: Respiratory Influences on CSF Fluctuation The systolic pulse wave is well established as the primary impetus for CSF circulation, but there is evidence that the respiratory rhythm also plays a significant role. A recent study...

Cure: There is no pumping process in CSF circulation. The ascent of sap in tall trees is still open, Osmosis, Capillary action and Root pressure are dead in the water. The Cohesion tension theory relies on some magical undiscovered force that can suck water up a tree to great heights without breakin...

When I asked the question, I knew that my discovery in the circulation in trees and plants applied to the circulation in humans and all animal, even microscopic creatures If I remember my botany course correctly, evaporation of water from the leaves combined with consumption of water during photosy...

Hello Blossom, it's good to hear from you again. If you have a length of sturdy say 3/4 plywood cut to same size as your mattress, have someone sand down all the edges to remove any splinters and place it under the mattress with some of those anti-slip mats they place under rugs, between the mattres...

Too many years have passed since finding that people with ms benefit from sleeping on an inclined bed. Many of you here have read the posts from people using IBT for ms. The results in the MSRC Report titled Raised Bed Survey should have sufficed to have the results tested in a trial for pwms. http:...

Thanks for your replies, high elevation is known to cause lethargy, which is understandable with the change in oxygen, but my point was that somehow damaged myelin begins to function again at altitude and therefore ms cannot be due to an immune response where the body attacks itself. If this were th...

If you live in a river valley area, damp home or coastal / estuary area, then consider using a dehumidifier in the home. Avoid drying washing indoors, especially on radiators and open windows when cooking or showering to let excess moisture out. There is a correlation between high humidity and the o...

Hi Dlynn 4.5" won't work like the full incline does for sure. We use a memory foam mattress to provide additional friction and depressions in the mattress which work well to prevent slipping. A duvet / quilt / soft blanket placed under the bottom sheet also works well providing it is tucked in ...
