I could see how this might stop future attacks but I can’t see how it would fix the already fractured nerve paths.

For the remitting/relapsing type, I’m not sure if this is worth the effort. For the progressive, I think I would take the chance.

I’ll pass it on to the wife.

The ONLY thing that has helped with my PRMS is Tysabri (24 IVs, no attacks and no active lesions). But this doesn't seem to help with the damaged nerve paths as you've said.

I wouldn't wish MS on my worst enemy. If I had one, that is. ;-)

Amazing << Hear this. Feel this, and tell me that this isn't music.

Hey Barack HUSSEIN Obama, I went to Harvard too! That was the worst fieldtrip of my life, but I went there...

That’s why it’s effective in EARLY disease. Every article I’ve seen makes that point.

Many people’s diagnosis does not come early in the disease process.

I was under the impression this study was for RRMS, and did not include PPMS patients. Here’s a link to an article about a recent study that bears that out.
