I’m boggled that people still fall for things like the Klenner protocol for MS.
I get tired of receiving emails from certain friends recommending everything from vitamins to anti-fungal diets. They all claim to have found the “cure” for my MS and if I’d only do “x, y, or z”....I could get rid of the MS.
That’s not to say I don’t take vitamins, in fact I’ve been on 50,000 units of D once a week, because my D levels were so low (which is pretty common in MS patients...I wonder about the “chicken or the egg” scenario with low D levels)
But, I guess they (the friends sending the emails) figure they’re helping...which they aren’t, LOL.
“I’m boggled that people still fall for things like the Klenner protocol for MS.”
Where in the published medical literature has it ever been refuted?
Dr Klenner was a Duke University Med school grad, and said he could reliably cure MS. What is the evidence that he was mistaken?

“Where in the published medical literature has it ever been refuted?”
I’m disappointed that anyone would mock a distinguished American physican, without being able to present the slightest evidence to back up their claim. Zero! ( does that remind you of someone?)
Dr. Fred Klenner was a graduate of the Duke University medical school, and was a Fellow of The American College of Chest Physicians; Fellow & Diplomate: The International College of Applied Nutrition; Fellow: The American Association for the Advancment of Science; Fellow: The American College of Angiology; Fellow: The American Academy of Family Practice; Fellow: The Royal Society of Health (London); Fellow (Honorary): The International Academy of Preventive and Orthomolecular Medicine; Fellow: International College of Angiology; and Founder-Fellow: American Geriatrics Society.
In the “Conclusions” of his 1973 paper he states the following:
“We categorically make this statement: Any victim of Multiple Sclerosis who will dramatically flush with the use of nicotinic acid, and who has not yet progressed to the stage of myelin degeneration, as witnessed by sustained ankle clonus elicited in the orthodox manner, can be cured with the adequate employment of Thiamin Hydrochloride and other factors of the Vitamin B Complex in conjunction with essential proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and injectable crude liver. If sustained ankle clonus is not bilateral, then it is not a deterrent. We have had patients who did demonstrate bilateral sustained ankle clonus, and who were in wheelchairs, and who returned to normal activities after 5 to 8 years of treatment.”
If anyone has scientific evidence that Dr Klenner was mistaken, please present it. Otherwise please show his great achievements the respect they merit.
Anyone who prefers taking drugs to vitamins, that is your privilege. Let’s always maintain the freedom of all of us to decide for ourselves.
