TED'S REMEDIES FOR 4 YEAR OLD WITH MS AND A.D.E.M.
03/13/2010: Alison from Bothell, Washington writes: "Ted,
I have read many of your posts and others over the last few years and put much of the information into action with fantastic results. This forum has been life changing and empowering for me. I am hoping that you can share your knowledge and opinion on A.D.E.M. MS, myelin and herbal supplements and alternative therapies.
I was reading your posts on MS and trying to see how it can apply to my son and A.D.E.M. Can the addition of curcumin, selenium and other supplements at this point, fatten up his myelin? Are there other supplements, herbs, dietary changes that could be helpful. Dosage? He is 4 and weighs 30lbs.
My son was 12 months when he had an fulminant episode of A.D.E.M. Acute disseminated Encephalomyelitis. An auto-immune attack to the myelin sheath much like MS but not progressive. It happened 9 weeks after a DTaP and flu vaccine. It is not clear if this was a factor. Never the less I have stopped vaccinating. As as a result of the A.D.E.M. he had severe neuro-motor regression. It is my understanding that he had to re-myelinate and re-cable the brain connections. He is now four-years-old. He has mild-moderate delays in gross and fine motor skills. He has cognitive delays and severe delays in his expressive language. Apraxia. He has mild hemiparisis on his left side. He is non-verbal. 50 percent of patients recovery completely. Many recover in 3-12 months. It has been three years now.
We recently did a constraint induced therapy where a cast was put on his right arm(strong side) to force him to develop his left side. We notice amazing improvements not only in the use of his left hand but also in cognative, speech and sensory awareness. He had global improvements in all areas of development.
He is on a seizure medication, levetiracetam . Although has not had a seizure since he was in the ICU during the attack, he remains on the anti-convulsive as precaucionary as he is also on methylphenadate, a central nervous system stimulant. We have notice tremendous development since he started taking it. Our neurologist in Mexico says that the methylphenadate brings down the threshold for seizure and that if he began to have seizures it would be a major set back for him. We may switch piracetam in the future when he is off the levetiracetam. Piracetam is not available in the US but not illegal either. His EEG's have shown tremendous improvements since he started the methylphenadate. Almost typical.
What is your opinion on HBOT, hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy? Initially I found my 12 month old unconscious, not breathing, beginning to turn blue and had to revive him with CPR. Maybe his brain was deprived of oxygen for a period of time? Some of the off label use for it is for cerebral palsy, MS, Stroke and near drowning.
We have cut out MSG, aspartame, diary and processed foods in our diet for more than a year now. I muscle test most store bought foods before adding them to the family diet. We have also been seeing a Neurolink practictioner that runs a chelating protocol on my son.
Any ideas you could share would be greatly appreciated."

WHEN YOU START TO HEAL WHERE DO YOU START
09/29/2006: Robin from Fort Plain, NY writes: "Question -- out of all the sites that i have been reading yours is definately the best overall!!! thank you so much. my question is this, when you start to heal where do you start? my whole body is plugged up. i was first diagnosed with ms and at this point the nerves are short circuiting, the lymph is congested, liver, basically all organs. there is heavy metal build up so brain is shorting alot. what would the procedure? where do i start first? metals, colon, lumph, i don't want to start a f is a should be done first. please, i am quite desperate at this point. i feel like i am totally shutting down and very rattled. thank you for your time.robin marie"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "It is strange that many inquiries including yours lately have a lot to do with my recent research on ORP (oxidation reduction potential) and the free radical heavy metals that just sticks like glue in your body.You probably have the best description that I have ever seen for your conditions. Whenever the whole system is congested, it is as if the blood cells and everything just becamed glued together.
When this happens your body's ionic imbalance has simply lost its colloidal charges. Most proteins, and other nutrients simply can't get suspended in your body's solution and therefore become clogged. There are many ways in which your body can loose its charge:
1. Eating food high in positive charges, which obviously means free radical heavy metals, or water with chlorine, and other imbalances. These will destroy the suspension of proteins in your body and hence become clogged up.
2. Taking medicine with an oxidative reduction potential with a strong positive charge. This is where your ORP meter will tell you. Taking too many foods, water, medicine with a high positive ORP, could ultimately cause the body to become congested.
3. If you travel in cars, trucks and especially airplane, your body immediately acquires positive ORP. You can easily see this most readily when you sit on airplane. Now I haven't had the luxury of being able to sit in airplanes for at least 16+ years now to measure the ORP of the body in travelling vehicle. However, in aviation meteorology, a cloud have average positive charge of about 1 amps and when a plane travels through clouds, it acquires a huge positive electrostatic charge. As a result the body becomes excessively clogged up and causes a heart attack to what we now referred to as the "economy class syndrome". I should know, I can sit for two hours and don't feel clogged up sitting in the office, but can easily feel that within an hour when I am inside a plane. But don't bother finding websites on this cause, you won't find it. I guess websites don't have a clue or they just didn't bother writing up this issue!
Whatever the cause,
Biologically, your body's system when it sees the positive charge, the body's defense mechanism immediately detects this as a tissue injury and immediately the clotting mechanism hit full speed, especially YOUR SPECIFIC organs that had the greatest positive charges.
Assuming you are in a moving airplane as it acquires huge positive charge, the part of your body that has the most positive charge is the grounding - your feet. This is why the blood becomes so clogged up around the legs. Then, if it reaches your heart you die. One possible cure is to shield your foot from the plane as it acquires positive electrical charge and drink a strong akaline form of vitamin C. (or just take ascorbic acid plus magnesium hydroxide or ascorbic acid plus sodium bicarbonate, or ascorbic acid plus any alkaline formulas, such as citrates or bicarbonates.
Now that you get my idea, let's go to your conditions. You are obviously having intestines, liver, stomach, and other organs feeling clogged up. In this instance, your body detects a huge positive (oxidizing) charge where ORP is very high. In this case, the cause for you condition obviously come from the food you eat since they are congested. The treatment would be very simple, just restore your ORP to reducing by taking twice a day:
1/2 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/4 teaspoon of ascorbic acid, plus one glass of water. If possible add 3-5 drops sodium thiosulfate 10% solution before you begin mixing to reduce the chlorine in your water and a tiny pinch of borax to chelate out the fluorides.
When you take ORP with a strong reducing potential, the free heavy metals that sticks like glue to your organs immediately looses its positive electrical charges as the ORP with a negative charge is counteracted. As a result, it swims through your blood vessels and goes out safely in the feces and urine. You might wonder why I am not recommending baking soda plus citric acid here. This is because your issue is both a pH problem but ORP is a more serious issue.
To deal with your problems of shorting out in the brain, this is simply too much metals in your body. They come from the obvious. Chlorinated and fluoridate water. Frying pans, cooking utensils ALL have metals. Therefore 250 mg./day of oral EDTA should help chelate out the heavy metals. And drink plenty of water with a negative ORP water.
Basically you need to restore your pH, ORP, and chelate out heavy metals. This is basically where you should begin. Always drink water not just one meal but every meal, where you mix vitamin C (ascorbic acid powder preferably) with generous portions baking soda, or ascorbic acid with magnesium hydroxide and potassium citrate, for example. How much of each? Try this way: about 250 mg/per dose of vitamin C add enough of the alkaline baking soda, and/or magnesium hydroxide and/or potassium citrate until the pH reaches about 8 or 9. Most healthy SPA springs have pH is about 8-9 anyway. So I guess we are close.
Cannot provide more detail now, and you can email me for details later due to limited time today."

USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE?
07/26/2006: Samanatha from Atlanta writes: "I have an sister who was diagnosed with MS about 6 years ago. I was wondering if these holistic treatments can be used in conjuction with any and all treatments she is using through her medical doctors, or will one hinder the effects of the other. I would love to share this information with her but am not sure she would be willing to drop her current treatments to try something that she is not sure about?"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Samantha: Most alternative medicine can be done without the need for dropping any current treatment she is currently undergoing. For example, eating right, vitamin supplements, oral chelation, fish oils, or even Edgar Cayce's Wet Cell to balance the vibration necessary to help MS. In fact Dudley Delaney was cured of MS using Edgar Cayce's treatment and has recently wrote a book on it. I have seen some with MS was even helped by energy healing, chiropractors and homeopaths. The most important step is to study various treatment open to you."

SISTER SUFFERING FROM MS SINCE 1989
Phyllis writes: "My sister has had MS since 1989. She cannot walk and at times cannot do things for herself. I know she had a lot of dental work done before she was diagnosed. Her doctor told her that it had nothing to do with her condition. I have always believed it has. She is on muscle relaxants and so much other medicine. Can any of these suggestions possibly help her since it has been such a long time. I just want her quality of life to improve so badly. My other sister has been diagnosed with MS for about 3 years now. She can function and works, but is tired. Her life has some limitations in that she cannot sew because her hands are stiff and she has lost some control and stumbles when she walks. Could she possibly be helped with these suggestions? Thanks.. I appreciate any suggestions."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Have the mercury carefully remove the amalgrams with a non mercury ones. In the meantime eat plenty of chinese parsley on alternate weeks. Take 1 tablespoon of cod liver oil three times a day. This should help remove a lot of heavy metals. Take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid plus 1/2 glass of water taken twice a day, one in morning and one in evening on empty stomach. If you can get a dechlorinator, such as sodium thiosulfate, then 6 drops per glass of water should also further help remove it. Magnesium will reduce the toxicity of the heavy metals.She can function and works, but is tired. Her life has some limitations in that she cannot sew because her hands are stiff.
Tiredness can be restored with vitamin B and E. Yes, take plenty of vitamin B complex 3 times a day where B1, B3, B5, B6, are about 100 mg. each and B12 at 100 mcg. Her energy level should improve and so is her stiffness. However she also need to take 2000 IU of vitamin E and 2 tablespoon per day of fish oil or cod liver oil to remove the heavy metals.
Take 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid plus 1/2 glass of water. Taken twice a day once in morning and once before bed time on an empty stomach. You should see improvement within about 3 weeks. It is necessary to take 250 mg of magnesium citrte, or magnesium gluconate so restore muscle problems."

SUPPLEMENTS HELP REPAIR THE MYELIN?
Pam writes: "Am just curious, do these supplements actually help repair the myelin ? What if there is a lesion which is causing impairment of nerve conduction? Anything help that?"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Sulfur rich compounds, in particular, MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) will help provide the nutrients necessary to allow rebuilding of myelin sheaths. It is important to drink balanced electrolyte solution such as sports drink or electrolyte salts (I prefer a much more advanced mammalian saline solution - but it is out of reach for most consumers). Electrolyte salts will help restore or at least normalize the body's electrical systems and restore as well as repair the neural damages.Of course Dr. Robert O. Becker "The Body Electric" found taking colloidal silver and of course adding some colloidal gold, will help the body regenerate cellular damaged parts for rebuilding. It may take about a month to notice this effect of course. For some reason the presence of silver and gold causes cells to revert to stem cells (dedifferentiation of cells) whenever there is a presence of silver colloids in the blood. I prefer a silver: gold colloid mixture myself, perhaps a 10:1 ratio. However you are free to try to see what ratio works best for you. I have seen dramatic improvements from brain damage using these, but of course I also recommended them using smart drugs during the course as well, in particular taking hydergine and piracetam together. A good substitute for piracetam might be a more natural L-pyroglutamate.
Just remember that you must avoid taking aspartame, monosodium glutamate, and stay away from insecticide in particular, organophosphates. These prevent eventual recovery. Try to sleep in beds that DO NOT HAVE bed springs, metals, and radio clocks within at least 3 meters away from the body. They seem to worsen recovery."

HELP NEEDED
Tammy from pa writes: "I want to try this. How do I go about it? I have primary progressive MS... Thanks."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Start simple and work yourself up. First get a selenium supplement or buy yourself brazil nuts. Brazil nuts are high in selenium. If you are eating brazil nuts, just eat in moderate amounts morning and evening. Eat just as you do with any ordinary nuts. For selenium supplements, just take the recommended amount and work yourself up for larger/smaller dosages until you find the proper dosages that you feel is best for you.There is some new information, which shows TMG (trimethylglycine) in helping normalize nerve disorders very helpful for MS. You should see improvements within 3 days. If not, try adding more to the dosage or switching to another supplements. However, the primary treatment for MS is very likely be selenium, TMG, and magnesium.
The key is find the proper dosage and frequency for each supplement. Once you improve, you can keep adding one by one each of the recommendation that I have made above. However, if nothing works for you, then just try this: take about 5 grams of brewer's yeast a day and eat brazil nuts every day. Therapeutic effect can be seen within 1 month. Seems to work every time (could be a statistical anomaly due to small sampling) but how well is something I cannot say. What I can say is that they are natural, and the least harmful. This is used as a last resort if all else fails."

SELENIUM DID NOTHING FOR ME
Sue writes: "Selenium did nothing for me."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "For MS, you need to take 50,000 I.U. of vitamin D every week for about 1-2 months, preferably in the form of Vitamin D4. Selenium is not the only supplements you take. It is been increasingly clear that M.S. is usually best helped with taking vitamin D4 as well as yeast selenium."

NEEDED ADVICE FOR MUSCULAR SCLEROSIS
"I would like to know if you have something for Muscular Sclerosis? I walk with a cane for outdoors and when I'm inside the house I walk with a limp."
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Much of the treatment centers on what causes Muscular Sclerosis. Three well known causes are nutritional deficiency, toxic metals and mycoplasma. Based on these, we treat the cause.Nutritional deficiency. There are stories about people on wheelchairs who cannot walk because of muscular atrophy. In that case you might try vitamin D4 (if you can't find than then D3 or D2). Just take about 20,000 I.U. for about a month then take it every 3 days on the second month. You should see the results on the second month. The other issue concerns taking selenium supplements everyday as they have shown that MS in monkeys were cured taking selenium.
The second issue is toxic metals, but unfortunately most people remove the heavy metals the wrong way. The best way I found is to take 1/2 cup of fresh chinese parsley (coriander) for an entire month at least. This will remove the toxic metals which strips the myelin sheaths in the brain. When toxic metals are removed, the brain will function normally. Therefore it is important to avoid fluoride toothpastes, canola oil, margarine, fried foods, monosodium glutamate, and other bad chelating treatments such as BAL, DPMS, and DMSA. If you have a toothfilling amalgam. YOU MUST REMOVE THAT. The mercury is causing the problem. You will see improvement after removal and taking cilantro, within the next day!
The third issue is mycoplasma. These thrive on heavy toxic metals and they from some kind of symbiosis with a virus/bacteria which makes MS. To destroy them is difficult, but I used a biological terrain. You will like this treatment because it tastes good. Take one teaspoon of baking soda, add one teaspoon of citric acid to a 1/2 glass of water. Wait for a minute and drink it everyday. Based on my most recent experiments (just today), this formula will optimized blood oxygen to maximum, and destroys mycoplasma by oxygenation.This is the simplest treatment I can think of for MS. Other people told me they were cured using colloidal gold. Yes, you can get results with that, apparently colloidal gold displaces mercury inside your body too. Some people even used gold salts, but that is another story."

NERVE DAMAGE IN SPINAL CORD
"I was curious, My mother in law has been diagnosed with ms about 3 1/2 years ago, she has nerve damage in her spinal cord, (Which is related?) She's 56 and she's can walk, and do most things, but she has to limit herself. My question is this, She uses Copaxone which she injects every day, the cost of this is outrageous, she is tempted to stop taking it and told her doctors, but they advise against this, as this could cause an extreme exacerbation, can she utilize any of these remedies with her current medication?"
Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Yes, she can always try. I have seen people improved using them!"
