Being diagnosed and suffering from ms as well as other autoimmune diseases for over 5 yrs. I can tell you, the conventional docs haven't got a clue. In despiration i went natural and wish I had done it 5 yrs prior. It only took 5 days off all chemicals and eating organic foods for the pain to go away. As I continued my new lifestyle i was able to get off every med. and reversed ms, lupus,fibromyalgia, arthritis, high blood pressure and hypothyroidism. It has been two years now and very little problems except when i do have some food that is not prepared properly, loaded with chems, artifical sweetner, or not organic. Then I do notice problems with pain. Unforunately when invited to others homes, etc they do not always understand my dietary needs and i would never make them feel bad by refusing everything. I keep my cane and my braces as reminders of where I was and where I am now

BalancingCenter: At our clinic we sometimes see cases of MS, and so far we have found that MS is due to a mycoplasma that eats away the myelin sheath. Mycoplasma is a nano-parasite that recruits the host cells into donating sterols, which it lacks, and this corrupts the cell wall structures so that the mycoplasma can invade and hide in the cell wall, taking on the cell's "self-markers" so that the immune system cannot identify it as a pathogen and attack it. Mycoplasma can create an autoimmune effect, and this has been identified.

We have found that the way to reveal the mycoplasma to the immune system is to give the client either Nopal Cactus caps, from Health Force Nutritionals (for some varieties) or Cordyceps and Mycetoblend from Eclectic Institute, (for other varieties.) These remedies can alert the body's ability to release the myoplasma, and then we release any scar tissue that might have built up, by suggesting Megabiotin from Cardiovascular Research. Next, a few weeks later, we offer Sphingolin, also from Cardiovascular Research, to repair the sheath material. Hope it's OK to name specific products in this forum. If not, then whoever moniters these entries should delete the product and company names, here, and the reader can ask Dr Mercola how to proceed. These remedies are available over the counter. My thinking is that people need to know what might really work, as there is not much specific help available out there for MS, neither medical nor alternative. Most of our MS clients seem to turn it around fairly quickly, if it is not too advanced.
