For information on government research on ms, I recommend searching

on www.pubmed.gov

It's a good, reliable resource.

Personally, I think that a hybrid approach is best, such as one of

the ABC drugs like Copaxone or Avonex, combined with the best of the

herbs . . .

With the herbs, just be careful, as many, such as Vitamin E, can thin

the blood. So take care and do your research.

MS may actually be more than one disease, so you need to see what

works for your own body.

Personally, I like a coenzymated b complex by source naturals with

nicotinamide in it, but that's just me. I am not a doctor. Take at

your own risk. I also like SAM-e every other day or so for energy,

but too much keeps me up at night (insomnia) . . .

For attacks, I like to take small amounts of DHEA (5 mg). DHEA is

powerful stuff. It can make cancer grow faster if you already have

cancer. It impacts your hormones, increasing testosterone and I

believe progesterone as well, as it is a precursor, hormonal building

block. I stick with 5 mg (the stores usually have 50 mg, but you can

get 5 mg at Dr. Ray Sahelian's website, just google it) and only when

I need it (such as attacks) because it is something you need to be

careful with. Some say to have your esterdil or estradiol (?) levels

checked if you take it. As you age, your body produces less DHEA.

Consult with your physician. I am NOT a doctor. Take at your own risk.

Cheers,

You must be joking about taking Copaxone, etc... have you heard about

these follow up studies:

However, a 2004 Cochrane Medical review[4] pointed out that

" Glatiramer acetate did not show any beneficial effect on the main

outcome measures in MS, i.e. disease progression, and it does not

substantially affect the risk of clinical relapses. "

In its pivotal trial [5] of 251 patients, after 2 years Copaxone

failed to show any advantage in halting disability progression (78% of

treated patients were Progression-free versus 75% Progression-free on

placebo).

As a result[6], the FDA marketing label for Copaxone does not have an

indication for reducing the progression of disability.

Those drugs were not developed for MS and they do not work! Please

try to do the diet. Dr. Swank, based on 30 years of treating and

following his MS patients felt so confident about treating MS with

diet that in his book he guaranteed that you will not have any

disabilities after 30+ years if you start his diet soon after the

diagnosis.

Good luck.
