Do you > know what his specialty is? > > Dawn ======= Dawn, MS'ers are cash cows for the pharmaceuticals who make the CRAB's and doctors who prescribe CRAB drugs get quite a nice kickback for prescribing them. Copaxone does not suppress the immune system and the others do. I did see a possible problem with Copaxone awhile back especially for women, it was reported that Copaxone MAY..now that's MAY be causing breast cancer....just wanted you to be aware of this report that came out a few months back. I know nothing about the doc in Michigan. He's a doc someone put on my list of LDN prescribing docs. I now have to keep that list password protected as things have been getting a wee bit out of control lately. I don't put the entire list in public anymore. That was the only MI doc I had on the list.
