Well, all I can say is that after nearly seven years for me, it still seems too good to be true. I still do have some permanent damage: I can't run or walk anywhere near as far as I used to, which was a heck of a long way. Its a shame but I am totally functional and I regained the use of my paralysed arm, so I can paint again. You might eventually regain more than you think, so might I because still see subtle improvements. I had MS for nearly twenty years before began treatment, having developed it straight out of university or maybe before.

An Itinerary in Light and Shadow Completed Dr Charles Stratton / Dr David Wheldon abx regime for aggressive secondary progressive MS in June 2007, after four years. Still improving with no relapses since starting. Can't run but can paint all day.
Selma, I used doxycycline and roxithromycin with pulses of metronidazole or tinidazole, with a six month break from doxycycline when I changed to rifampicin. I took this full time for just over a year and then changed to intermittent for the next three years: two weeks on and two months off. Now I just take a few supplements.

Thank you!-still sorting out my options- I wish I tolerated drugs better and did not have this horrific downward spirals from first herbs and now 2 years later a few weeks of drugs- So bad now - i know I must do something....
Have you considered any stem cell treatments or feel no need now since you are doing so well?
Hi Robbie
I haven' been around since January because of SAD so I am gobsmacked to see your latest videos - how amazing are you?! Here's to ongoing improvements.

Got into our hot tub yesterday with some help from friends (it's been 5 years), getting in was eaiser than getting out. I was in for an hour and the heat didn't seem to bother me. Getting stronger.....

I have started treatment for Lyme, alot more antibiotics than my self prescribe amount, both oral and IV which starts in two weeks. The next year or so will be intereting, I hope things can get even better. I am really confused about how this is happening but very grateful at the same time.

Had a picc line put in my arm last Friday and had my 4th IV so far, still able to work out my arms. Was worried that with the picc line i would not be able to do dumb bells from my chair anymore. Still getting on the bowflex as well. Upper body is getting much stronger which is a good feeling. have an mri in September and maybe there will be a difference in the lesions i have.
