Goat serum jabs help MS victims to

walk again

Nick Fielding

PATIENTS suffering from multiple

sclerosis (MS), the incurable

wasting disease, have experienced

dramatic improvements in their

condition after taking part in

trials of a drug derived from goat

serum.

Some have reported being able to

cast aside their walking sticks and

walk for miles, or of regaining

their vision or finding they can

again use their limbs after years

when any movement was agony. Of the

130 patients on the trial, 85%

reported big improvements with no

side effects.

Among them is Edmiston, of

Southsea, who was diagnosed with MS

in 1988. At the time of my first

injections 15 months ago I was using

walking sticks and sometimes a

wheelchair. I started this treatment

with no expectations but it has been

astonishing, he said.

I am 500% better than I was. I can

walk for several miles without

sticks. I'm much stronger and

generally healthier. And you have to

remember that we have always been

told that there may be remissions,

but that the progress of the disease

is unstoppable.

The success of the trials has

started to gain international

recognition with Alan Osmond, one of

Americas

leading campaigners about

the disease, traveling from the US

to take the drug.

Osmond, the eldest member of the

Osmonds singing group, who was

diagnosed with the disease 17 years

ago, said: When I heard about the

treatment here I decided I would

have to come and see for myself.

MS is the most common chronic

disease of the central nervous

system in young adults, affecting

millions of people worldwide. Most

cases are diagnosed between the ages

of 20 and 40 and famous sufferers

include the cellist du

Pr , the actor Pryor,

director Forbes and Tory whip

Maclean.

An often progressive disease of the

central nervous system, MS occurs in

the brain, the optic nerves and the

spinal cord. Though slow in its

onset, in time it may produce

tremors, partial loss of sight and

paralysis.

The new treatment is being pioneered

by a team of scientists and doctors

led by Professor Angus Dalgleish, an

oncologist based at St s

hospital, Tooting, south London,

who

believes it will at worst provide a

highly effective subjective

treatment for MS sufferers, but may

lead to a long-term improvement.

The treatment, given as a weekly

injection, is derived from purified

serum from immunised goats that

produce antibodies. Three separate

clinical trials are now being

conducted.

Normally it would have taken about

eight years and about 80m to get a

new product to this stage. In this

case it has been achieved in three

years, having cost so far about 5m.

Dr Maizels, a family doctor

from Chiselhurst in Kent

who had

been treating patients in the

informed consent trials for the

past three years, said he had never

seen anything like it.

I want to emphasise that this is

not a placebo effect. The

improvements are sustained and there

are almost no side effects. At times

the results are amazing, he said.

The trials, the first of which

should be completed and analysed by

the spring, will confirm whether

there will be new hope for MS

sufferers worldwide.

ä¡´Being positive is the key thing,

said Osmond. Its not the disease

that beats you, but the lack of

hope.
