This is not about LDN but it's the first I've seen about a treatment for MS that

boosts the immune system instead of suppressing it.

Therapy Slows Down Multiple Sclerosis

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 13 (HealthDayNews) -- A therapy designed to boost the body's

immune system could reduce the risk of a second attack of symptoms related to

multiple sclerosis, according to an article in the October issue of The Archives

of Neurology.

 

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which the body's myelin

-- the material that covers and insulates nerve cells in the brain and spinal

cord -- begins to deteriorate. This causes impairment of motor, sensory, visual

and cognitive funcion.

Israeli researchers found that intravenous immunoglobulin therapy applied after

the first signs of MS significantly reduced the probability of developing

clinically definite multiple sclerosis.

Patients receiving the therapy also suffered fewer brain lesions.

The research was conducted by doctors at the Sheba Medical Center in

Tel-Hoshomer.
