Guest guest Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Narmeena, With MS patients I find it is important to proceed slowly, because as soon as things starts opening and toxins start moving it is easy to trigger an exacerbation. The nervous system is obviously very sensitive and reactive. I may start MS patients on full dose UNDAs depending on the case, but let them know if symptoms start occuring to call you and reduce the dose. Some of my MS patients have had to stay at very low, ie 1-2drops 2xday of one number, for a while before slowly increasing and eventually adding the second number. As far as UNDA choices, you have to treat what is in front of you, obviously nervous system, mb general drainage depending on the case, possibly other things are going on. Ultimately the autoimmune component is treated through the gut which is why diet is crucial from the beginning. In MS the blood brain barrier has been comprimised and anything toxic, including the byproducts of saturated fat and other reactive foods, heavy metals etc..., will cross and cause inflamation in the CNS. You should test for heavy metals as this can often be at the source of the problem. Keivan Jinnah, ND, LAc Portland, OR Q: Multiple Sclerosis Hi Everyone, I have a 31 year old female patient who was very recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She has yet to see her neurologist to discuss the specifics of what they found on MRI but will be coming to see me next week after that visit. She had initially presented with numbness and tingling in her knees and then ankles which later traveled up to her back and chest. Fatigue was another presenting factor. This began in December 2005. I had prescribed homeopathic Berberis vulgaris, a Multi-B and separate B12/Folic Acid, BTG's which resolved much of the tingling but it did return soon afterwards (I also don't believe she was too compliant with the BTG's). She was working with a chiropractor and massage therapist which also aided with symptom relief. I want to start her on drainage but was wondering if anyone could share any advice on their experiences with neurological or autoimmune disease that could guide me and help me to be more focused with treatment. Thanks in advance. Narmeena Sunderji, ND North Vancouver, BC Share your photos with the people who matter at Canada Photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Hi Judy, I usually do a hair analysis. Other testing is certainly possible but again there is a risk of an exacerbation with DMSA etc. Keivan Jinnah, ND, LAc.
