Things that helped us maybe they can help you (Vit D3, B12 trying to get 4-AP)

[Guest guest]

When neurologist Dx w/ MS said there was no connection to relapsing

MS with foods, vitamins or allergies. He just said to take Rebif.

After 9 months and 3 relapses things were not good. I changed diet to

take out glueten from our family's diet, took multivitamin, 800 IU

Vit D, Fish oil (+protects CNS)and ALA both to reduce inflammation.

w/in 45 days there was a change. Lost 15 lbs, went 1 mph faster for a

mile longer (could only do 1/4 mile 6 months prior) all withOUT foot

drop. It has now been 2 1/2 years since last relapse!! Note never

went off rebif.

So this would be my suggestion to someone who has been diagnosed with

MS:

1. If you have been diagnosed with MS see an allergist to make sure

your immune system is not on the offense against your body even when

you are not ill.

2. Increase your FIBER to combat future constipation & eat extra

PROTEIN to combat fatigue.

3. Consult a nutritionist to find out if FISH OIL, AlphaLipotic Acid

(ALA), nuts & B complex vitamins can help protect your CNS and or

reduce inflammation.

4. B12 taken as an injection or sprayed under tongue can reduce nerve

pain. Enzymes make it useless to take it orally.

5. Vitamins you should be taking while on steroids to counteract what

they leach from your body. IE Potassium, etc

6. Take Multi-Vitamin + Extra Vit D to reduce immune response

7. Look into a product like 1/4 scoop (daily)GNC: Digestive Health

Powder(AWESOME PRODUCT). It contains prebiotics, PRObiotics and

digestive enzymes that help breakdown and absorb the nutrients from

your food better. All your organs improve especially the largest one

that takes more vitamins. PLUS it has fiber which is good for keeping

your intestinal nerves strong enough to pass fecal matter even as

some nerves are being damaged.

FYI

http://www.eczemamembers.com/clubportal/...

Bacteria and Eczema: Eczema is an Immune System Disorder (atopy), and

75% of your Immune System is found in your Gastrointestinal Tract

where 3 to 4 pounds of bacteria reside.

You may NOT have eczema but 75% of your immune system in your gut

does effect you

8. Read the European MS website to view their recommended best diet-

see below. http://www.msrc.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseaction=

show & pageid=39

9. Decrease the stress in your life and exercise.

10. Kyolic Garlic Energy Formula " weary body and weak legs

decreased " " Reduced fatigue " more information on studies done go to

http://inutritionals.com/healthyliving/garlic.php or call 800-421-

2998.

11. Do NOT feel helpless there are things like the above that might

help you. Knowledge is EMPOWERING so research the disease and

countermeasures for yourself.

12. Look into 3.0mg Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)

Requires you to ask pharmacist for a COMPOUND Pharmacist and they can

redirect you. PLUS, a script from doc for 3.0 mg IF you decide you

would like to try it (see Mayo 2000 study & NIAH 2004 study on

autoimmune diseases being due to " aged " weakened immune system. So

immune enhancers might be the way of treatment for the future. Penn

State Univ study on LDN and Crohns(autoimmune too) came back with 89%

improvement and 67% no flare ups seems to back this up.

13. If you agree with the immune enhancing studies then look into

ActivaMune (with D3 and DIM- chemicalcreated in your body when you

eat kale, broccoli) developed by Univ of CA. or different Multi-

vitamin GreensPlus.com

14. Look into 4-AP (blocks potassium)

Needs Compound Pharmicist and script from doc for 3-5mg. It does not

get rid of disease it just makes your impulses work better reducing

fatigue and increasing strength. (Note you need so much potassium for

your heart to work so consult a doctor)

15. Look into Estriol (1 of the three main types of estrogen produced

when you are pregnant) it is being used to decrease MS symptoms see

below link. http://www.sltrib.com/health/ci_8872392

16. Never give up!!

-Good Luck
