Thanks for the heads-up about the Tysabri warning.

My neuro is considering putting me on it. I was wondering,

how much has it helped you? Have you suffered any side effects?

Thanks,

I know I've been lucky in having not been diagnosed for 30 yrs even though I

had a few really uncomfortable exacerbations throughout that time. Chances

are I'd have had a terrible time if I'd been treated with drugs ... I react

to so many that my 'allergic to list' is embarrassing long! I do know that

in the last couple of years I've been getting worse as far as balance and

fatigue. The pain, I'm not sure whether it's from the ms, arthritis or

what. Spasms and stiffness are getting to me but not unbearable.

Hopefully I can continue advancing slowly and relying on diet, exercise and

supplements. Btw Tom, my friend and I went together and bought a Jupiter

water alkalizer. It arrived this afternoon so it'll probably take us a week

to set it up. Neither of us are good at installing things

Hi Cait,

Besides diet, exercise, and food supplements, you might consider the other

treatment options mentioned here:

Hi Joni,

I had the three amalgams that were in my mouth replaced about two years ago and

replaced with composites. I also had a nickel-cadmium bridge removed and

replaced with a composite bridge. I did not notice any specific improvement from

doing so, but overall I am glad that I won't continue to accumulate mercury

vapors for the rest of my life and I feel better knowing these memetals are not

in my mouth, so I am glad I did it, even though there was no difference

afterwards so far. It was a lot of money though, especially the

bridge....Experts say removing metals from the mouth is only half of what is

needed. Those who are mercury toxic generally also need to follow up with some

sort of chelation of metals that have accumulated in the tissues and brain over

many, many years that we had the amalgams. This can be a difficult challenge, as

many do not tolerate the chelators (DMSA, etc) well and there are concerns about

moving more mercury into the brain with chelators. Some people feel a great diet

may chelate these metals natually, but that is also a matter of opinion--just as

almost everything related to this illness seems to be (a matter of different

opinions).

>

> Talking about heavy metals, I have a mouth full of silver and 3 root canals. I

have an appt with a holistic dentist to come up with a plan to have them all

removed. Has anyone else done the same? What kind of results have you

experienced?
