should I take steroids? ....

[Guest guest]

Hi Pamela

I take LDN and had been having a nose around the link Dudley posted,

well I'm glad I came across the advice from Dr Lawrence.... it makes sense to

me...

Dr. Lawrence from the UK has MS and uses LDN as his treatment. Dr. Lawrence's

thoughts below...Another frustration is the repeated question: " What do I do if

I need steroids? " My response to this is simple! You DO NOT need

steroids!Because exacerbations are due to oxidative stress, usually associated

with an infective, traumatic, or emotional event, the more suitable treatment is

antioxidants - at high dosage! Apart from the basic antioxidans that we all know

(zinc, copper, selenium, vit C, E, and beta carotene) there is a vast and

increasing list of other antioxidants that may also be used: flavonoid OPCs;

alpha lipoic acid, acety N-carnitine; phosphatidyl serine; etc, etc. Used at

high dosage these are as capable as steroids in reducing the intensity and

development of relapses or exacerbations without the downside and adverse

effects of steroids.follow this link for the rest of the info....

, in addition to a natural anti-inflammatory formula that I currently have

been taking, which works much better than any pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory

meds I've taken, the antioxidants make sense (as well as the other

nutraceuticals you have listed. I am also very excited about beginning a new

regimen, including Resveratrol. Resveratrol is found in red grapes, red wine and

is now sold also as a neutraceutical. There are many recent studies involving

Resveratrol, and they are rendering some very interesting results. I recommend

everyone in here to visit the web site for Resvertrol. This is not a commercial

message. You will be able to see information concerning all of the studies and

some results information in date order at resveratrol. com

I was doing quite a bit of reading on Resveratrol last evening, including

visiting a site called patientslike me. com. There was an entry there, written

by one of the people who has been using Resveratrol, stating it is better to

take in liquid form, swishing it around in the mouth for a minute before

swallowing, with claim that in this way the Resveratrol enters the bloodstream

faster/better.

That's my 2009 resolution: Resveratrol & 9 servings of veggies a day!

Cheers!
