Antegren, autoimmune disease

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

1. Antegren

Antegren has a new working mechanism, it is different from any of the

current drugs. It will make it harder for cells of the immune system to

cross the blood brain barrier and thus it will reduce inflammation. Its

other pro is that it will be administered once a month through an IV,

not a daily or weekly injection. A more detailed description is found

here:

There is also a testimony of somebody participating in the trial:

2. MS not an autoimmune disease?

My problem is that it is easy to criticize a theory without offering an

alternative explanation. MS is a puzzle, and if you find a piece that does

not fit but there is 900 that fits in does not mean the picture is wrong.

Everyone (I think even the ones with this theory) agrees that the

immune system plays a crucial role in MS.

I think if MS was not an autoimmune disease (or at least an immune

system disease), LDN would not work either. I read a testimony of

somebody who tried LDN and was not working for her and later found

out she had Lyme disease.

I also think that it is also a good thing if somebody criticizes the

mainstream theory because it helps to develop it further.
