yes. well I am not sure that my low blood pressure is due to the cortisol but I know its a symptom of low cortisol (addisons) or I also heard that the stimulation of the vagus nerve can cause low blood pressure too. I think that the MS hug is inflamation of the vagus nerve. but yes high cholesterol ...

on the glucose thing i strongly urge just read the functions of cortisol on wikipedia if nothing else and correlate it with what you feel. We have an immunosupressant as its elevation prevents the proliferation of T cells through its alkalising action of moving an equal number of sodium ions in, pot...

I know I dont have ms. just like I know it wasnt ms that my uncle had either. thats just what they call it. I have porphyria and porphyria has caused the lesions and then porphyria caused it to later turn into sjogrens. I can feel the difference between what was called MS and what is now called sjog...

yes if you have spent too much time with out D like I did, your body will compensate in other ways. my lungs compensated. when your body's pH has adjusted to its absence and you suddenly replace it. or if you have a severe magnesium and possasium deficiency with in the cells and then you replace it,...

one thing that does not seem to be impaired in the MS brain is the analytical mind. I originally presented with MS for the first 8 years and then It started to go systemic into sjogrens and then down into lupus. I have spent time on all forums and no group is more intelligent than the MSer. our abil...

does it happen about one half hour after you eat. it could be your gall bladder . if it is try eating something bitter and drinking water. it could be a vagus nerve inflamation

YEs and guess which hormone moves an equal number of sodium ions in and potassium out....cortisol.

I believe you are correct on this. if the immune system is faulty it is secondary to another primary process. I also agree that the origin would have to be a flaw in our basic arcitecture but I strongly believe that it starts in the liver and MS is really a manifestation of porphyria first. CCSVI ma...

I hate that so many other illnesses that can be corrected fall under the general umbrella of MS even though this abdominal pain you are having may very well be separate from those scars on the brain. yes definately see a gastro to rule out ulcers but my gastro told me this ungodly horendous pain was...

I believe everthing is related. if you noticed it correlated with the disease process then its related. I think my rotting teeth are related as well as the fungus on my feet because MSers are so darn bacterial. I believe my ulcers are related as it is caused by a bacterial infection. and yes my wris...

understanding the calcium metabolism is a very difficult thing to organize in my head. understanding the action of calcitonin, PTH and calcitriol ( vit D) in reference to the hormonal cascade is a mind blowing task. No one website explains it properly with how calcium and the immune system work toge...

This is interesting and just goes to show you how confused these experts really are. its always nice to hear the other side of arguments. the center of my solar system is the sun. D is the power of the sun in my body. the center of my body is my bones made mostly of calcium and are just a meer reser...

If the truth and money are in two different hands rather there is no money in the truth, and we are always grabing for money then what happens to the hand of truth?
it remains empty perhaps?

1) reality is what the majority says it is ( or else face ostricism and persection for antisocial behavior) 2) the majority will look to the experts for the deinition of that reality (people of credibility) 3) experts can be bought (or hired) 4) one can buy an experts to define the reality of his ch...

It remissed for 5 years and when it came out to play again the lesion was gone.
