" The bacterial protein stimulates an immune system regulator which

dampens down the body's immune response. " It seems that its function

is to suppress chronic inflammatory disease, " said Dr . The

regulator was able to shut down the arthritic inflammation being

produced by the immune system. " - irish times article

!!! This is probably the same one that is stimulated by

naltrexone, and suppressed by interferon! You know, the one that

makes memory helper T cells die before they can do any damage?

Holy spirits preserve us!

I sure hope that one reaches the market before I die. Meantime I'm

gonna take naltrexone.

That supports the endocrine circadian pendulum theory. The melatonin

your body normally produces should be enough. So should the endorphins.

But if your endogenous, circadian pattern is delayed, random or absent,

as it is in many diseases, you may not produce enough of these to do those

jobs they are supposed to do, like wake you up and make you sleepy. You

will get sleep deprivation, or as you point out, waking deprivation.

The thing becomes self-perpetuating.

It is probable that taking it at the same time every day is at least

as important as the dose. The pendulum push may happen at 1, 2, or 3

mg./day. But if it is taken regularly it will be most effective at

pushing the pendulum at the right time. Secondary to that would be the

circadian wall-clock time at which the push occurs.

And since one daily cycle is reestablished (beta endorphin) so are they

all, since one pituitary clock controls them all.

Eating may be a secondary trigger for a clock that is slaved to the main

one. They found that in mice.

I also got my sleep fixed when I was in rehab. Regular mealtimes,

exercise times, and the long summer light all combined, and I haven't

missed a night's sleep since.

Glad you have conquered this one too and keep taking it at the same

time every day!

I'd better go to bed :-)

P.S. I feel a *heck* of a lot better since I dropped Avonex. Wheeee!
