Have you ever participated in an MS clinical study?

Oops! Many typos. That is neutralizing antibodies and "tests". Sheesh.

That is what happened to me. I got stuck on placebo (its a crappy job, but someone has to do it) for 2 1/2 years and when I received the active drug and it started to help, the drug companies withdrew it. I can't believe its taking so long to come back. I guess I will just wait and hope this damage that I have endured will be reversed. It is worth the risk to me because I know Tysabri helped me.

THAT is one of the biggest mistakes that MS patients make . . . NOT getting on disease MODIFYING medications in the beginning--"I don't FEEL bad yet, so I'm fine." That is terrible logic, and damage is accruing as you read this. Holistic approaches may help with symptoms, but there isn't enough proof that they slow down the damage. RIGHT NOW multiple sclerosis IS a progressive disease--ther is NO stopping it . . . it doesn't sleep. The interfereons and the glatimer acetate (Copaxone) help to slow the progression. Doing nothing is like playing Russsian Roulette with all the bullets in the gun. Sorry to say, but until there is concrete proof, using holistic approaches is like doing nothing. Just because you feel good NOW does not mean that the damage has stopped by no means. The ABCR drugs help to reduce the severity of relapses and the frequency, and the amount of damage from inflammation (lesions). Please take this info to heart and also talk it over with a helth professional. And, no . . . a holistic medicine practitioner is NOT a professional doctor (or what THEY like to call an allopathic doctor). You need a good neurologist and internist. Any one of the people that read these articles could reccomend some very good ones anywhere in the world.

I would like to share with all of you what I have learned.Since I have cut out all red meat,dairy,sugar, alcohol,yeast,soda,coffee,caffeine,all artificial sweetner,colors and flavored foods I can honestly say I feel 100% better. I believe MS has alot to do with what we put in are bodies.But drug companies dont want you to think that.I believe in putting good things in my body so that my body can heal itself.My new MRI shows that the lessions I had on my spine are no longer there. All I can say is PUT GOOD THING IN YOUR BODY and see what happens. You have nothing to loose and everything to gain. God bless all of you.

Tovaxin may be an option for you. I'd also look into Rituxamab. I believe they might have a trial suitable for you. I'm only suggesting these as possibilities. I have no direct knowledge of curent trials.
