When I saw Céline Dion in a coma from Stiff Person Syndrome and crying out in pain, I knew what I was going to do. Many years ago I had the same thing and it was horrible.

Mine came on slowly and if I even lifted a bucket of feed, I'd have to go to bed for the rest of the day. One day I woke up paralyzed and unable to even turn over to call for help. The pain was incredible!

When my husband came home to eat lunch, he was shocked to find me still in bed. I asked him to slowly help me sit up and then help me to my feet. Being a man, he just didn't understand the word slowly. Talk about agony! When he helped me to my feet, I nearly collapsed from pain. It took hours before I could flex enough to pull on my socks.

That was ‘the' day I knew I had to find a cure for whatever this was, for I had no name at that time. I searched my herb books and finally found an herb that sounded like what would help me. Logic told me it was inflammation of some sort and the one herb that worked like a miracle was Evening of Primrose Oil. Swanson carries this. In just a few days I was able to trim 10 Boer goat's feet m(40 feet), well rope them into a trailer to get a health certificate and not one pain! It has never come back, thank goodness!

I understand there is even an association for this disease where they ask for donations. I'd like to see them acknowledge a cure and then go out of business.

Anyway, I found out Céline Dion was on Facebook but I'm not and will not ever be! I asked my Niece Susan to write her what I'd done for this awful disease and how well it worked. We received a capitalized THANK YOU!! Just after this, Céline Dion went to Paris to sing.

I wrote EarthClinic.com to let them know of what I'd found out but in their limited wisdom, they did not publish anything to help others. So much for being helpful!

EC: So sorry, Jean, we never received your post. Otherwise, we would have created a new page and posted it, as we have done now.

Thank you for the reply, Jean.

I looked at 5 different EPO products and the label suggested dosing ranges from 1, 000 mg day to 1, 500 mg per day with the most common daily dose being 1, 300 mg / day. So that seems to be the most common suggested dose.

I forgot to ask you, how long did it take for the EPO to resolve your SPS?

Hi Jean B.,

Could you please include the dose and frequency of EPO that you found effective for your Stiff Person Syndrome and whether you were actually diagnosed with that disease? Thank you!

SPS is an autoimmune condition just like Paraneoplastic Syndrome. A "paraneoplastic syndrome" is an umbrella term for a group of disorders (such as Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, a rare autoimmune disorder that weakens the immune system and causes limb weakness, especially in the legs) that can occur alongside cancer, where the symptoms are caused by the body's immune response to the tumor, attacking healthy tissues in organs like the nervous system, skin, or endocrine system, rather than the cancer itself directly.
In other words YOUR BODY ATTACKS ITSELF.
Doesn't hurt to try Evening of Primrose Oil.
I have POTS, MCAS* and PNS, will try the Oil. They wanted to put me on $40,000/mo medication with devastating side effects.

Hi Art,

No one diagnosed me but with the symptoms, there was no doubt in my mind what it was. I took whatever the bottle of EPO said to take. My take was, what was there to lose?

I did watch the interview. Thank you. You are right, I am flabbergasted just like I was after learning about Anita Moorjani's story. These two recovery stories don't fit into anything we know about health and disease.

I'm wondering if tDCS aka transcranial direct current stimulation can help with this like it does fibromyalgia and MS...
