Phyl mentions Fampridine (also called Ampyra) for MS. Please research this carefully before using -
"The non-sustained release form of fampridine (i.e. , 4-Aminopyridine Or 4-AP) is used as a bird poison to excite the nerve cells so much so that birds get seizure and die. In the process of neuronal excitation, a few individual members of a flock of birds, who have ingested the poison on the roof of a federal building, become hyperactive and utter distress calls which signal other birds to leave the site. The compound is highly poisonous to mammals. It has in fact been known to cause severe poisoning, and in some cases, death, in adult humans. "
I looked into this at my mother-in-law's request, as she has been dealing with MS for about 15 years. This drug is not only dangerous, but in the control studies, people's ability to walk a distance of 25 feet was only increased by .8 seconds. Not even a full second, so is it worth the risk for next to no pay-off?

Hi David, your post, by far, has been very enlightening and has opened my eyes to things that I've been missing in regards to treating my MS. When you discuss the Primrose oil, how much should I be taking daily or more than once a day and do I take it with something else or do I just drink it doesn't come in a capsule? Also, in regards to Dr. Atkins book Vita nutrients does the title also include something about all the other drugs. I have had MS for 10 years and I have been a doctor of pharmacy for 20+ years but I no longer work but instead I do consults from home. You have given me hope and truly means more than anything else. Thank you for the information. I hope this text makes it to you and know it was written a few years back and I hope you are doing well. Thanks for the info and I look forward to hearing from you.

My wife woke up 5 years ago and was in complete body pain. Found out she had the autoimmune disease rheumatoid arthritis. They put her on 4 drugs. She took herself off 2 right away because of sickness. Then we did research and decided to try natural. She started taking 200,000iu's of vitamin D3 along with K2, magnesium, turmeric and moringa. Every month she got her blood checked. By September she had reduced herself to half of one drug. By December her blood test came back saying it didn't register RA. She cut herself back to 30,000 iu's a day and it's Dec 2024 and she's doing amazing. She had a flareup in July and cutout sugar and carbs and has been feeling better then she ever has. She had some bumps on her hands before July but they're all gone as well and she's lost 30lbs and is about 130lbs and feels great. So keep your vitamin D high with vitamin K2, magnesium and tumeric and drink at least half a gallon of water a day and things will be great. The key is patience, it takes time for your body to recover and build the nutrient supply.
