Not sure where I found this success story for MS patients and Inclined Bed Therapy (IBT), where the head of the bed and the whole length of the bed is raised at an angle from 4 in. to 8 in. at the head and angling down to the foot. To be secure and safe it will take some effort to build. Has anyone tried this? It is supposed to help circulation.Carolyn

I think IBT is a good complement to LDN as a way to address the CCSVI issues we

might have.

I`ve seen a few posts here where people are curious about IBT but not sure how

to do it.

Why not get it " straight from the horses mouth " :

http://andrewkfletcher.com/ He invented the therapy.

There is an MS/CCSVI Forum for those trialing IBT. Maybe consider

participating.

If nothing else, you'll get correct information.

This page outlines some of the changes you might experience.

, I hope you'll let us know if there are benefits with your PPMS.
