BEFORE MY DIAGNOSIS I HAD AN OXIDATIVE STRESS TEST AND THE RESULTS WERE HIGHER THAN AN EIGHTY TWO YEAR OLD THAT HAD GOTTEN THEIR RESULTS THE SAME DAY. I WAS 35 AT THE TIME. AFTER MEGA-ANTI-OXIDANT THERAPY MY SCORES HAVE DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED AND SO HAVE MY SYMPTOMS. SOME DAYS I DO NOT FEEL LIKE I HAVE MS. I FEEL STRONGLY THEIR IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN OXIDATIVE STRESS AND SEVERITY OF MS. AFTER ALL, EVERYTHING IN THE BODY IS CONNECTED. THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT ARTICLES. I REALLY ENJOY THEM.

Hi Kathy

I am happy for you. Can I ask, how do you get an oxidative stress test? What type of doctor do you see for this? What were your symptoms before the test? Sorry for all the questions but I am really interested in knowing about this.

Thanks for all your help.

Marie

FWIW, I think oxidative stress testing in a " lay " setting is a scam.

I must however emphasize that anti-oxidants are good, anti-oxidants

can be measured in specialized labs for moderate $$, just the stress

testing part is a bit of a scam. The main basis for this statement

is that hospital laboratories do not use this test. Perhaps someone

could provide the details of the " stress testing " that was done.

Thanks,

Yash
