The Liberation Treatment: A whole new approach to MS

Kim--Thank you for posting this -- fascinating.

 

I shudder to think what the outcome would have been if we did not have a neurologist who "thought outside the box" when suggesting the steroid burst for our d in '08. We literally had to carry her into the office, severely affected by OCD and tics, and he told us, "This is outside the box...but..."

 

Thank God he did. She was back, walking and talking within 10 days.

Thanks Kim! I sent this to a friend whose mother-in-law has MS. I'm hopeful they'll look into it.

There's been a lot of discussion of this over on BT MS forum.

I remember years ago reading an article about MS and how before and during relapse MS sufferers had stiff and painful necks. Interesting huh??

 

Could this be related to PANDAS, on the pandasnetwork many of the relative have ms. (Myself included) Could the iron deposits and potentially other chemicals "stuck" in these brains be the reason why the T cells are attracted to cross the BBB. As Buster mentioned in the t cell post some "chemical" is pulling T cells to cross the BBB. T cells cause MS brain lesions. Do they also cause PANDAS?

nevergiveup,

 

I thought of you when I read this. I'm going to post it on the N acetylglucosaime thread too ( NAG was not found to be effective, but glucosaime hydrocloride was), but had to wonder about the possible relationship with MS too. If blockages were found in MS patients and ICAM I (from Busters info on the "T cells cross BBB thread") is upregulated in these conditions, seems there might be overlap here.

 

I just found this whole article to be really interesting
