<div>Hi Gina:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sorry for the frank note that fallows...........</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am a bit prejudiced about MS as my wife Arla was diagnosed in 1987 and died of it in 2004.</div>
<div>But before I freak you out Arla's progression is in the minority.</div>
<div>The vast majority are amongst the walking wounded.</div>
<div>However we extropians pride ourselves as being able to solve those insoluble problems, so we have a reputation to uphold, right?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So having opened the can of worms, let me set my reasoning down.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Over 10 years from 1994 to 2004 I spent 12,000 hours online researching and brought several MS drugs into play.</div>
<div>Arla had the 1000 mg solumedrol sessions of 3-5 day duration about 4 times a year from 1998 to -2003.<br clear="all">The first few years she would say "I have the good form or MS". .. as opposed to chronic progressive.</div>
<div>The relapsing remitting occurances left measureable effects over the years and by 2002 became chronic progressive.</div>
<div>The last year things really got nasty when several seizures almost effected her like strokes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The really good science came too late for her.</div>
<div>Over the years I did determine several things however.</div>
<div>If it were to happen again the estriol ( a very weak estrogen), the vitamin D (perhaps as mucvh as 5000 IU/day,</div>
<div>the non psychogenic cannabinoid CBD from hemp, would be among the first line defences and would be used when there were no symptoms and not as a response to accelerating disability.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We never did not use therapies such as methotrexate some others used. In spite of being toxic they seem to have kept some people from getting to the end stages.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Aggressive use of cruciferous phase 2 inducers such as those from broccoli sprouts and cress should have been a daily dietary addition to reduce the silent oxidative stress underlying the more detrimental MS related processes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>We never had the interferons available until the health plan determined it was not pharmacoeconomically feasible to get them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In hindsight that is what made me start LIFESPAN PHARMA in 2005.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So what I am suggesting is to plan carefully then shoot first and ask questions later....at least that is what I'd do if it were me.</div>
