To add two-cents' worth
I have my very own copy of the book,The Cure for All Diseases by Hulda Clark. I have a friend withh MS who thinks Hulda is on the right track. My opinion is don't bother to buy her book!
I am still the website's resident believer in excess insulin as a key player in MS. Specifically, I think the route is 1. inflammation from various causes (chronic sinus drainage in my own case), 2. response of excess insulin production by the pancreas, 3. damage to blood vessels by insulin, which is an irritant (causing tingling--paresthesia), 4. then the immune system steps in for repair which becomes over-zealous.
Right now I am trying to reduce inflammation and sinus drainage. Also, I have greatly restricted my diet in an attempt to reduce insulin production (but 3 months have not brought ANY changes yet--except my glucose level is back to normal). From jimmylegs' information, I think Vitamin D must reduce the insulin traveling in a body so I am making a greater effort to get sunshine (Those on a tetracycline should NOT do this.) and even supplementing more with pills. I am not up to Legs' level of consumption yet and am still arranging to have my serum level monitored. I know my insulin is high; now I expect my D level will be low. I now encourage everyone to have insulin levels and Vitamin D levels tested.
In my unscientific brain, this scenario would seem to accommodate every idea and fact I know about MS--simplistic, but so am I!

Bob,
I saw the ending of a show a few months ago. They were following a young girl with very aggressive Crohn’s disease. No medications had been able to control her disease. She was enrolled in a clinical trial and she was given eggs from the parasitic worm helminth to drink. This was very effective for her!
I found that very interesting. I didn't know that this was already being looked into for people with ms. I do hope that this idea will be tested in people with multiple sclerosis.
And, as far as the “yuck” factor is concerned, If it helps with my ms, I will gladly drink a glass with eggs from (harmless) parasitic worms. I have no problems doing that!!

We must exercise some caution.
I understand that our answer may come from some unusual source, but we must exercise some caution, no matter how desperate we are (And, believe me, I am with the desperate!).
A friend with MS (now severely disabled and in a nursing home) took cobra venom more than 30 years ago. With NO benefit!
I agree with Bob's assessment of the drug companies' influence on the course of research and development of treatments. It is easy to despair over the situation. This site offers us hope that WE can be more involved.
