Reversing Endothelial Dysfunction
-edited to explain the endothelium for those new to this concept...
the endothelium is the single cell layer of our blood vessels. This lining utilizes nitric oxide to control blood pressure, vascular dilation, and immune response. I've come to see that my husband's MS (and perhaps others) is linked to his vascular system. His current program was put together with new research on molecular medicine, antioxidants, vasodilators and the endothelium-
EDIT: The original program is now available as a note on Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=123456602210
or, an abbreviated version is available at CCSVI Alliance

This was written for friends, family and folks who wanted info on Jeff's program and what we've learned over the past two years. I wanted to share it with my thisisms family, in the hope it may be of service. I'm not a doctor, or scholar, or expert. But I do love someone with MS, and I'm slightly ocd.
best,
the aging cheerleader (AC)
poste script...since I began this thread, there have been some exciting developments in the study of the vascular connection to MS. Please refer to the thread on CCSVI (Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency) in the general forum for more information. Doppler technology has allowed researchers to see venous blockage in MS patients. I believe we're just beginning to scratch the surface of endothelial dysfunction. AC

Last night after my nightly dose I could feel my legs changing. The same applies to this morning. I take the medicine at 6:30am (ish) and about 40 minutes later I can feel stuff going on in my legs.

I agree, Dim. Dairy is not good for MS, but Jeff eats only a small amount of hard cheese, maybe one ounce a day. No other milk products. He changed his diet SO much....he used to live on cheeses, red meat, cold cuts, sausage and diet Dr. Pepper. He followed the "Atkins Diet" and he was constipated all the time, no surprise! Maybe someday he'll give up his cheese completely, but he has to want to do it.DIM wrote:By the way Cheer I read Jeff continues to eat dairy products, with the research you did this year are you sure they won't make him worst?
I trully believe if there is a food that every person with MS should avoid this is milk and especially cow milk!

Not sure about cooking with olive oil though, I've heard it can kill off the good stuff and even be bad for you....

Thanks, gains. Yes, I do mention stress in relation to our body's release of cortisol being harmful to the endothelium. People have always had stress but I believe our hectic work schedules in today's technological age have taken away our "down time." This has increased cortisol levels for many.gainsbourg wrote:Just downloaded your PDF...very readable, and glad you gave stressful living quite a big mention! In the year 1900 people use to be too busy to stew and dwell on things, they just got on with it.

As far as olive oil...from a study on virgin olive oil and endothelial health:
"Monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil rich in phenolic acid content, and vegetables help prevent endothelial activation and dysfunction in the postprandial state."

We can trust Dmitris on this, he's our Mediterranean Diet expert

"The DePue Superfund site is 1,500 acres of land contaminated by heavy metals such as aluminum, barium, cobalt, mercury, nickel, zinc, lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium and copper as the result of manufacturing operations on the site."
"Contaminants have been found in yards, gardens and play areas. Also, the Illinois Department of Public Health found cadmium, zinc and lead in dust wipe and carpet samples in 15 DePue homes. Furthermore, a 2001 study on the incidence of Multiple Sclerosis in DePue found nine cases of the disease in the village which statistically should have had less than two. This was considered "a highly significant excess of MS cases" as cited in the ordinance."

Heavy metals are extremely hard on the endothelium, and contribute to immune dysfunction and leakage in blood vessels....wrote about them in my paper. Feel sorry for these poor families, and hope they get some help.

By the way it says "Neurological disability progressed in only one patient", quite interesting:

We never did get Jeff going on LDN, since he's stable and doing so well on supplements and copaxone, but it's still on my list for the future. I hadn't looked into the vascular connections-
I think LDN's increase in endorphins and enkephalins provides the most benefit for MSers, but there's more research to be done, I'm sure.
