I could not access Dr Cartwright’s video on MS & calcium(The truth about multiple Sclerosis & Calcium). Would it be possible to get a printed version on my computer?
Thank you
Ann

I agree with MARGERITE. My Vitamin D was very low nd my doctor said to take VIT D supplement.Went back for 3 mo blood test and it was a point lower.Then I was told to take calcium with the vitamin D and took 3 mo. blood test again my vitamin D had risen 20 points. I too have progressive and the NMSS and many worldwide doctors are working on stem cell therapy. Lets hope.

Hi. To reply to Sean O Donnell, first sorry to hear about the current situation. I am an adult female dx with relapsing/remitting MS. I understand the pain and frustration of this disease. Most doctors claim that research does not support effectiveness of the ABC injectable drugs for progressive MS. Nevertheless, some people with progressive do use the injections. Consult with your husband’s neurologist. If you are dissatisfied with his doctor, look for a new one. Also, there are some drugs which can give the immune system a “reboot.” One drug is cyclophosphamide. The other is naltrexone. I think they are chemotherapy agents which can be used at lower doses for MS. There are reports by some users of “getting their life back,” however not everyone has the same results–kinda hit or miss right now. I also want to mention a procedure which I am currently asking my neurologist to oversee called a plasmaphoresis or plasma exchange. I have known about this procedure since 1998 when I had my first episode, however not only was I told it was not a good option, I was not even diagnosed until 2005 due to old-fashioned protocol, short-sightedness on the doctors’ parts, possibly stupidity or an apathetic, passive attitude, and perhaps fear of lawsuits over misdiagnosis…but that is another all too commone story–delay of diagnosis. I have learned that plasma exchange is an expensive procedure and that may be the main reason doctors have chosen intravenous steroids as the first line treatment for an acute episode. As you may know, steroids do not stop the disease. Steroids help reduce inflammation temporarily. They have problematic side effects. Because, in my case, steroids are contraindicated due to another underlying condition, I had asked my neurologist if we could come up with a Plan B for any possible acute episode. In the past, he agreed he would authorize plasma exchange if necessary. O.K., so here I am, months after that request, and I am in the middle of what I am pretty sure is an episode of optic neuritis-constant twitching of the eyelid for over 3 weeks straight and pain and strain in both eyes. I am waiting for my neuroopthalmologist to set up a special MRI of the optic nerves as well as a decision from my neurologist. With plasma exchange, the doctor removes the plasma. I think you receive fresh plasma from a donor (not sure on this)The goal is to clear out components of the blood including the misbehaving T cells which attack myelin. This gives the body a fresh start and reboot. I have heard some people have had great relief and improvement. I need to look at the research a bit more. These are the main options that western medicine offers. New drugs are coming out. As far as natural supplements, I use Turmeric daily–there is research showing Turmeric preserves mobility in mice who consume it. I also take some things with anti-inflammatory properties including cod liver or fish oil, sometimes I take liquid MSM, also Vitamin D3 supplement–my bloodwork showed deficiency, probiotics, Thyadine (to help with goiter on thyroid, and VERY IMPORTANT and useful, I take NADH 5-10mg which helps with my energy production. I used to nap for hours and felt like a truck had hit me. NADH definitely helps. For pain, burning, numbness in feet I rub on a cream containing capsaicin-it is warming and may burn slightly at first, but it helps with pain. I hope this information is useful to you and the others on this blog. May we see a cause and cure revealed very soon.
