Researchers in Dr. Lawrence Steinman's laboratory at Stanford have developed a new strategy for
treating or preventing autoimmune diseases with antihistamines. Using the EAE mouse model for
multiple sclerosis (MS), the inventors have shown that the disease course and severity can be
ameliorated with daily administration of antihistamine


Many have had success using low dose Benadryl.

Try 1 mg per 40 lbs of body weight (+ or - 10 lbs) 4 times per day

Costs less that $5 per month and is OTC

Just wondering have you tried this antihistamine treatment? It doesn't take much benadryl to "knock me out" or dry me out.
Not sure about this. Any real scientific papers on this form of MS Rx?

Gee, only $33,064/year out of pocket! How can the pharmas possibly think this is sustainable? This isn't even a cure and it might lead to severe disability or death due to PML.

My doc gave me a scrip for tecfidera. I called my i surance to see what they would cover, said they treat all ms as major medical and not drugs, so 60/40 split. When the insurance rep called to set up i mentioned it sounded like id be paying 4k a month, he actually laughed at me and said it was going to cost more than that. Great sales manners.
Anyway they (my insurance) kept chasing me, finally said the insurance first person was wrong, sales guy was wrong, and it would be $50. Much heated discussion later (im still pissed about the first guy) and it was $10.

So i got my first months for $10, its still sitting unopened a month or two later and they call daily. All the reading ive done shows placebo works 20%, and 100+k drugs work 23, and thats only symptoms. None of them do anything about progression so i dont see the need to do it yet.

Lemtrada is the only drug that looks to actually work, and the us is the only country with an airport that you cant get. Too much money in "treating" and not enough for curing.

The MS drugs reduce relapses but aren't proven to reduce disease progression. The swank diet showed the ability to prevent progression during a 34 year study. Most of those that stayed on the diet were still walking after 34 years. Those that didn't were bedridden or dead. Seafood and vegetables are more expensive than Big Macs, but they're a lot cheaper (and more effective) than avonex.

You can also appeal the insurance company non-coverage. I have gotten uncovered drugs paid for on appeal.

Low dose naltrexone also has been helpful for many with MS and it's generic. You have to get it from a formulary pharmacy. About $40 a month when I tried it.

Dr Ciscerio in Brazil, high dose Vitamin D protocol. No side effects

Inclined Bed Therapy is the most affordable treatment for MS. Search for it on YouTube or Facebook. It involves a one-time investment.
