Repost: Question: MS and new treatments

[Sugarbleus]

We have a friend who lives with aggressive MS. He is on a crusade to find and try any and all treatments that might help curtail, cure, alleviate the symptoms of MS;to give him relief and/or lengthen his life.

My S.O. has asked me to note any findings on the subject so we can give it to our friend. There is suppose to be a study on the effects of the drugs used for cancer helping people with MS. I thought I saw something related to this but I don't know where.

I'm wondering if anyone in here might know of such a study; could point me to any links, if so, and offer any other advice on this matter. Our friend is certain there is a trial protocol for this new study but he's having a difficult time locating the facts. He'll also need funding..

ANY INFO someone has will be profoundly appreciated.

1. I don't know about cancer drugs

but has your friend checked into bee sting therapy. I know it sounds weird but I saw a documentary on Discovery Health channel or somewhere about amazing results that people have had with this natural therapy. If you Google "bee sting therapy for MS" you get a lot of hits. I'm not so sure I could do it myself, but some people swear by it.

4. Yes, our friend has and does do the bee sting thing...

He's doing or has done everything he had heard about for relief. I admire his determination but I also feel sad that he even has to go through any of it.

Thanks much for the input... :)

6. My uncle had MS for years and finally died from it...

I too had residual nerve damage in my arms after a bout of viral meningitis/encephalitis back in 1980 and couldn't type or play my flute for over a year, so I definitely sympathize.

2. I swear by Dr. Mercola. Not an MD but light years ahead of the majority

of MD's I've seen.
Google his database - he has other very interesting articles. Good luck.

3. My sister has MS

I read everything I can about MS. Curezone.com has a forum for MS- http://tinyurl.com/4ka2b

I have asked her to start making and taking colloidal silver. I am going to do it myself as soon as possible as their is no downside. Ozone therapy has its supporters at CureZone and I will start on that as soon as possible. It is funny that ozone is called a pollutant in the summer time and they have ozone warnings, because at CureZone ozone gets hailed as the great healer. There is the huge theory that disease cannot live in an oxygen rich body. There is a big theory that an alkaline body also prevents many diseases.

The basic premise behind alternative health is taking charge of your own education and plotting your own course. There is a big theory that disease is caused by pollution and parasites. With MS there are plenty at CureZone that follow Dr. Hulda Clark and others and call for removing the mercury fillings in your teeth. It's strange how people refer to mercury amalgams as silver isn't it?

People that have MS often do not sweat, which is bad because it prevents a natural way of losing toxins. At CureZone you will hear of FIR for sweating which is Far Infrared saunas.

I have read several accounts of people curing themselves. That is something no pill is going to do, and I have to wonder if the pill pimpers put mercury in their pills to make people sick. They claim it is a preservative, but just how old do pills have to be in an age of short distributions.

When the Dutch Experience opened in Stockport, England it was the first coffeeshop in Britain that followed the Dutch model. I followed the story at the DE website from the beginning. There was a woman who would come in the DE in a wheelchair because of her MS. She would smoke some enhancement and would walk home to do her cleaning. Cannabis does somethings for MS that none of the pills with their mercury preservatives can do and recent studies indicate that it may reverse some damage. We have to wait and see the true miracles of the cannabinoids, as the government sure as hell does not want to spend any of that $28 billion NIH money on cannabis.

5. Thank you very much for your reply and input..

Personally I know so little about MS, though we have a number of friends who DO have the condition.

Our friend and my S.O. are members of our local Medical Marijuana co-op. It's a wonderful, loving, community of people who are running this program for people who are severely ill. Our friend had never ever smoked or consumed cannabis in his entire life...until he met my S.O. (lol).. He has been able to function and enjoy his life so much more with the help of this "modest herb".

Unfortunately, his condition continues to accelerate. In the last year, he learned that his sister had now come down with MS. That makes three in the same family. The family is from Nebraska (our friend lives here with us in Calif.) I think our friend said his family's misfortune was so unusual that there is an organization doing a study on his family and environs...

As I said, I'm asking these questions here as a request from S.O. He told me our friend and his S.O. are searching wildly for this new research (and/or funding). He wants to be among the FIRST people going into this test protocol. That's all I know. I thought I'd ask here because so many of my questions get profoundly wonderful responses/info.

I will save your link and certainly pass it along to our friend.

Thank you for responding so quickly... Best, SB
