Did you get that from Mercola.com ??? http://www.mercola.com/2003/oct/11/multiple_sclerosis.htm

Did you read the rest of the page? WOW! Something caught my eye as I was skimming....

this is from Dr. ph Mercola Author of The No-Grain Diet, NOT ME:

I recommend avoiding nearly all drugs for MS since they are only Band-Aids (and for most are quite expensive). Vitamin D is also an essential part of the treatment. In my book it is medical malpractice not to normalize vitamin D levels with testing to values in the high 40s or low 50s.

Thanks for posting that... I was going to forward it to my family/friends list and wanted to find the source... I found more than I was looking for. Very interesting stuff! Thanks. Gotta share with with some people.

Expecially read the link about the MS drugs. http://www.mercola.com/2003/mar/5/ms_drugs.htm (this page just floored me!)

Remember, these are not the opinions of LarryGC/LarryLDN, they are Dr. ph Mercola's!

From:

How to Improve Multiple SclerosisStress appears to aggravate multiple sclerosis (MS) in patients with the disease. According to a study, patients with MS who experienced at least one stressful event over a one-month period had double the risk of an exacerbation within the next week. Researchers suggest that stress, which can suppress the immune system, may put patients at an increased risk of infection and therefore may cause more flare ups of the disease.
