Guest guest Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 I do not have MS. I have a mitochondrial dysfunction that shares many of the symptoms of MS. Recently I have stumbled onto a treatment that has made a tremendous difference in my condition! The treatment is simple, inexpensive, and non prescription! The treatment is low doses of benadryl (5mg) every 4 to 6 hours. The action of benadryl at low doses is, like LDN, the inhibition of apoptosis. While researching this I came across the following study from Stanford: http://www.ctsaip.org/create-pdf.cfm?id=5893 " Summary Researchers in Dr. Lawrence Steinman's laboratory at Stanford have developed a new strategy for treating or preventing autoimmune diseases with antihistamines. Using the EAE mouse model for multiple sclerosis (MS), the inventors have shown that the disease course and severity can be ameliorated with daily administration of antihistamine. This approach has the potential for treating MS with less side-effects and more convenient dosing than current therapeutic interventions. Stage of Research EAE mice treated daily with anti-histamine receptor 1 have decreased disease severity and delayed onset of the disease compared to controls. Also, treatment with antihistamine receptor 1 leads to significant changes in the serum IgG recognition of some healthy brain antigenic targets. Advantage Safe - antihistamines are established drugs with less severe side effects than current MS treatments (e.g., interferon-beta, glatiramer acetate, high-dose IV immunoglobulins, monoclonal antibodies against a-4 integrin and steroids) Convenient - oral administration is easier for patients costs to produce and store these compounds are lower than existing treatments " 5mg is 1ml of adult strength liquid benadryl or 2ml of the childrens Following is the first feedback on this treatment that I have recieved from an MS sufferer: " Yes, my wife, who was diagnosed with MS in 2006, has been taking 5 mg of Benadryl every four hours for about three weeks now. She has experienced a dramatic increase in energy, an end to persistent conjunctivitis (redness of the eyes), and has not needed to apply her metronidazole cream for rosacea. She has also been able to stop taking Tramadol three times daily for back pain. The pain is still there, but it is more easily treated with the occasional NSAID or 5 mg of Valium. My wife takes slightly less than half a teaspoon of generic children's Benadryl (diphenhydramine) every four hours. " Pass this on!!!
