If they can't get it, ask someone with access to a medical library, e.g. a doc with hospital privileges.

Parasites can be found in abundance in blue states.

Interesting as it meshes with bee venom therapy for MS. The same thing happens with a slowing of the progression of the disease and bee venom also kicks up the immune system. In essence, both treatments are counterintuitive, sine it would seem that you would want to suppress the immune system, not kick it up with an auto-immune disease.

My wife has MS and I let her read this. I hope it leads to a treatment.

Okay, part of me was trying to gross her out, too.

very grateful to be on your ping list

Rather than using parasites to reduce inflammation, one should consider eating lots of Omega-3s while reducing Omega-6s.

MS Ping!

Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from, the Multiple Sclerosis ping list...

Thanks for the pings! I haven't read this yet, as I'd like some time to *REALLY* process what it's saying, but already I'm kind of --- hmm... uhm... ewwww!

Yet today's nanny-state (mothers and power-hungry politicians/bureaucrats/day-care regulators and schools) are DEMANDING an ever-increasing level of sanitation: Anti-bacterial soaps will be working AGAINST the long-term health of the kids.

I sent the article link to my sister who has MS.

Better yet, send her the link to www.marshallprotocol.com. There's a cure waiting. It worked for my sarcoid, and is being used for several MS patients by Dr Doug Blaney.

Point her to www.marshallprotocol.com. There's a cure waiting. It worked for my sarcoid, and is being used for several MS patients by Dr Doug Blaney. I'm sure Dr Blaney is willing to discuss current progress with your doc.

I totally agree, Rob't. Clean is one thing, total sanitization of everything is something else.

My ex-husband passed away last year because of complications of MS. The man was an absolute fanatic when it came to cleaning....he bleached EVERTYHING.

I've recently been diagnosed with RRMS... thanks so much for the information/links.

Thanks for the ping. I read the article a few days ago. Somebody had posted it on an MS forum. I have a sister who lives in Central America. Maybe I she visit her in hopes of picking up a parasite!

My wife has MS, I never realized how much she meant to me until she was diagnosed. I now cherish every day we have.

[2ndClassCitizen]

Any basis for this recommendation? references?

I had sarcoidosis when I was twenty five. It went away on its own. I did take 100 times the minimum daily requirement for vitamin c for several months (lots of water also).

This reminds me of a kid I knew who was allergic to beestings. He wanted to get out of being drafted and sent to Vietnam. He got a bee just before going to the doctor and held it in his hand until it stung him. It really hurt, but he no longer had an allergy.

I think this study and so many others offer real hope. We are going to beat MS, just got to keep optimistic.
