I hope and pray this works. I've got a good friend whose mother has MS. >>>
My friend's wife died of it before the age of 40, because of the disease she could never have any children. And the mother of a classmate of mine has had it for over 35 yrs. it can be very debilitating when it flares up.
I know of some people who have had success treating it nutritionally. The Swank Diet, getting rid of mercury and some viruses can help plus mega doses of certain nutritional products.

Because of the nature of MS, attacks and remissions, it is extremely difficult to say a diet or something of that nature has any real effect on the disease. Changes can simply be coincidences in the timing of a remission.
It is much more comforting to say diet or something like that affected the disease because one at least feels as if one's actions are effective, but it is more likely a dream.
My first wife died with MS and my son has the mild form, so I have studied it in great depth.
I pray that this new medication is demonstrably effective.
