To Niko:
Thanks so much for you input. You are a blessing to me and to this group too. I am a big advocate to nutrition. I know Dr. Mercola is against vitamins, but I am not and have gotten some remarable results with herbs.
To Red Star:
Thanks to you as well for your helpful information. Dr. Wahls testimony is very interesting. I love hearing of people who are getting better. It gives me hope that I won't have to contend with this for the rest of my life.
These three remain - faith, hope and love.
The video "TEDxIowaCity - Dr. Terry Wahls - Minding Your Mitochondria" is very interesting!
Dr Wahls also has a book out called: Minding My Mitochondria 2nd Edition: How I overcame secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) and got out of my wheelchair.
Hey Karajo,
Great Article. I'm familiar with this as I have followed nutritional and biochemical approaches for myself and recommended to others for most serious conditions.
I know that the body has the amazing resilience to heal ANY disease, given the proper support.
Also my wife had a big influence on me, as a Clinical Dietitian.
I never liked conventional medicine approaches to start with and I never take any meds for anything at all, as there are always natural alternatives that are usually superior.
The one obstacle in the article,is for people to get LDN for MS, as most doctors will not prescribe LDN being off-label. Its orphan drug status and not feasible to do clinical studies in regards to treating MS and other off-label uses, the costs being in the hundreds of millions of dollars, makes it very difficult. Everything is profit driven!
I've known people who have reversed their MS with LDN and strict nutritional protocols.
Heck, if I couldn't convince my dr. to prescribe it I would either go to Mexico for this or contact this Angel Lady who maintains a list of Doctors who will prescribe LDN after telephone consultations.
Take care, keep up all your wonderful work!
You are a great and caring person!
Have Safe and Happy Holidays!
Niko
