Re: MY FIRST 30 DAYS ON LDN --RON

[Guest guest]

Hi Ron,

Thank you so much for your account of your first month on LDN. It

sounds to me like it is helping you, and that is great.

Sorry to hear about your eye trouble, I hope that will be fixed soon,

My prayers for you and Danna, and keep that positive attitude.

Keep us posted as to your next great 30 days.

Love, SallyC.

That is a relatively large and concentrated cluster you are talking

about. Sounds like MS is contagious doesn't it? Don't give in to

the easiest answer, though. There might be something else

operating. You all may have been exposed to the same thing that

compromised all your immune systems. It is very rare to get those

diseases more than once.

That's what the helper T cells usually do. They remember which

(foreign except in autoimmune diseases) antigen they responded to

before, and keep you from getting sick a second time. Maybe there

was an unusually large source of these antigens nearby, or maybe

your helper T cells were broken somehow. If that is the case then

maybe it is related to your and your teachers having MS.

The helper T cells in MS have problems because they keep remembering

the same wrong thing. Sort of like some people have false memories of

child abuse.

Or maybe you were all exposed to the same ionizing radiation that

created different effects in people of different exposures and ages.

In the 50s and 60s we were *all* exposed to a lot of radioactive

strontium-90 from atmospheric nuclear tests. Adults and children.

Two doors down from me three girls died of childhood lukemia. I'm

sure there are lots of stories. It was not a good time to play

outside.

Strontium-90 is a radioactive byproduct of nuclear fission.

I used to think fusion (H) bombs were clean since they don't have

these radioactive byproducts. Then I heard you need a fission bomb

to blow up a fusion bomb. It's called activation energy. So much

for that theory. No wonder they didn't like testing them on home

ground. The south pacific is so much more remote. NOT!

I hope I have not bored or offended. I have not deliberately told

you anything false or half true.

Hi Sally A. from SallyC....lol.

I truly believe that there is an MS link to the Herpes virus that

causes Mono, CP and Shingles, etc......and I've had them all,

although only once. The multiple times thing is strange to

me...wow. Have you had shingles?

My Daughter, who has been tentatively dx with MS now, had shingles

in her teens, which is unusual, at that age. She also had CP, and

not sure of Mono. I have found out, recently, that my Niece (35) is

also testing for MS....she has been having some symtoms....wow, it

was never in my family before me, and now it seem to be running

rampant. I knew that Twins ran in our family, but not MS??

I suggest that you do start taking LDN, if for nothing else, to stop

the progression of the desease. And it also helps to put some of us

into a wonderful remission. It may even put us all into a remission

of sorts, but some of us have some permanent nerve damage, that does

not fully recover. But LDN still gives you a feeling of well

being. With the exception of a recent UTI, I certainly feel better.

Well I'm rattling again....Good wishes to you Sally and All.

SallyC.
