Advice

[Guest guest]

Greetings! My name is Crystal, and I am new to this message board.

I am writing because I am trying to research some alternative

treatments for MS. My boyfriend has had MS for the last 17 years.

I believe he has relapsing-remitting MS, but he has not had any

exacerbations for a long time. His condition has deteriorated over

the past 5-7 years...that's what I gather from what he tells me. He

cannot walk without assistance of some kind...cane, walker, wheel

chair. He has never really looked into alternative medicine, and I

think that's a shame. Regardless, at this point he is willing to

try just about anything. He started taking vitamins last week, from

the information I gathered here. We contacted his father (who

ironically owns a health food store in Michigan), and he was able to

get us some things. Hopefully he will keep that up, and I hope it

helps. It certainly can't hurt! Anyway, he is currently taking

rebif 3x a week, and he had a pump implanted (baclofen) over a year

ago to help the pain and to keep his legs from jumping so much. I

don't think he's as much of a disaster as this makes it sound, but I

truly feel that he can get better. I keep telling him this, and I

know he must believe it before anything good happens. I'm really

trying to keep his spirits up. I know it sounds like a pipe dream,

but I really want to see him walk again. Prior to MS, he was a

competitive body builder and an athlete, so physically, he is still

in good shape. I suppose that's a good thing, but I want to see

what you folks think about the following alternative treatments or

if you have any additional advice to give....Thank you so much for

your time and your thoughts. I truly appreciate it.

I have read a little about the following and I want to know what you

think about them:

Ambrotose (I realize there was some argument about bias or

whatever...I'm not interested in getting involved there... I would

just like some general information about what it is and what it does

and where I might be able to get it)

Colloidial silver - I have seen mixed reviews about this, and a lot

of people are trying to market ionic silver as colloidial silver.

Any thoughts on this?

Kalawalla - Sold by organic hope...somehow they guarantee results in

6 months, and I think that's a little suspect... has anyone tried

this out?

Feel free to e-mail me directly if you wish at yak813@...

Sincerely,

Crystal

Dear Crystal,

You can learn a great deal about various alternative approaches to

treating MS by visiting

Colloidal silver contains two forms of silver: silver particles and

silver ions. In a typical product, silver ions make up 75-99% and silver

particles make up 1-25%. A pure silver colloid would be 100% silver

particles with no silver ions. A high quality product would be 90-95%

ions and 5-10% particles. Because colloidal silver is a powerful

broad-spectrum antibiotic, it can be a great help to people whose MS was

triggered by infectious agents. For people whose MS was triggered by

other agents, it may or may not be of benefit.

For my own experience with colloidal silver, visit
