This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Knowledge & Support Community

(78kb of bandwidth saved) Well, if it were innocent friendly chatter I would not bother. But this friendly chatter is getting disabled, desperate, innocent people to spend money they can ill afford to spend on pseudo science. To practice "To understand is to perceive patterns" you need to...

I'm so glad your veins are still open! Did you suspect that they were not? If so, why? Are your improvements holding 3 months out?

I has Giarda twice in six months, and a week after the second bout, had amoebic dysentery. A year later I was under incredible stress, and one afternoon, my left eye dimmed. The next day I was blind in that eye, started falling to the right, incredible fatigue... The rest is history. Stress still ki...

500 thumbs up!

I must 4th the gladness to see your post. I have had a screenplay in my head about you two since I first "met" you. Hooray, Hooray! Oh, Hooray! I am bumbling my way to Brooklyn in just a couple of weeks, and it is great to read more of such high praise for Dr. Sclafani. I have to admit bei...

Good on you, Ted! Last year at this time we were wondering if the Icelandic volcano was going to keep us away. I had my alternate route through Tokyo-Moscow-overland all mapped out. Thankfully, I didn't need it. And ditto to Esta on the Oanda tip. Keep on with the red wine, I know that it helps. Hic...

The external jugular drains the face and scalp. I do not study these veins and i do not think these veins are the first line of action, perhaps they take on a greater potential when the internal jugular cannot be opened or has clotted off. OK. So which veins are responsible for draining the ears? I...

Yes, gout and "MS" do seem mutually exclusive.

I took hydroxy urea for about a year (had to have it "smuggled" from Hong Kong), but according to jimmylegs (somewhere in this forum) zinc supplementation increases serum uric acid.

I'm bloody-minded enough (pun unintended) to have my own views on "MS", CCSVI, DMDs, etc., but I really appreciated the lucidity of both gauchito's and eric's positions. Perhaps there is too much specificity in ideas and beliefs. Who cares what causes "MS"? Perhaps if we figure o...

Lots to study, eh

Brush up, Doc. I'm on my way to see you. (no pressure, of course. 32psi)

I like your illustration, BTW. Very Miro. (don't forget to clean your brushes.)

Hi Cheer, With endothelial issues, do you think alpha-lipoic acid (and research on same) is strong enough to add that to the list of treatments? Also, you may want to consider adding Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome to that long list of affected individuals... :cry: GREAT article, BTW! :) Yes to the Alpha li...
