Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi all, I really need some advice. I've had MS for 16 years and it has been stable for a while until recently. I have been experiencing burning sensations in both of my knees for the past three days. It was on Sunday, while I was cooking that I realized I could not stand on my legs for too long because it felt like bone was rubbing on bone while I was trying to cook. The first thought that came to mind is that it might be osteoarthritis, but at this point I'm not going to speculate. My means of taking care of myself is using alternative therapies. Taking herbs, vitaminsI recently started going back to my acupunturist, I eat a well-balanced diet of fruits, veggies, fish, grains, rice milk: no dairy, red meat, and the like. I usually excerised at least 3-4 times a weeks riding a stationary bike and aerobic stretching, but with the way I feel now exercising is the last thing I want to do. I do have to admit that I have experienced alot of other symptoms like frequent cracking of the joints, uti, slow bowels-this is something I go through on a daily basis from the day I was diagnosed with MS. I guess what I need help with is can anyone suggest what herbs or supplements can I take that will help to ease this pain I am going through. I feel that the cartilage in both of my knees are wearing thin; I forgot to mention I just turned 32 years old. For now, I placed ice packs on my knees to help relieve the pain, but it doesn't last for too long. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi MIchelle, My first thought is that you need to work on the bowels. When the body gets backed up and full of toxins, the joints are sometimes where we will notice it. 32 years old is really young to have bone on bone unless you have had some injuries. I had that same type burning pain before in my ankle and in my case its associated with nerve flow problem coming from my hip. I did use acupuncture and now I know how relived the spasms that cause tension in my hip by myself. I have not had to go to anyone for a long while and when I feel the pain start to come into my ankle I just work certain points on my hip and shin. Since yours is in both knees sounds more like toxins but its just my opinion. Digestive enzymes and pro-biotics can help get the bowel moving, drinking lots more water then maybe you do. What kind of grains are you eating?? you might want to cut way down or eliminate for a short time to see if that helps. You could add antioxidants and do some liver cleansing as well, but only after the bowels are moving. Fish oil is something that you could add also to help reduce any inflammation in the body. If you need recommendations just let me know. -- Re: burning sensation in knees/legs I guess what I need help with is can anyone suggest what herbs or supplements can I take that will help to ease this pain I am going through.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Dear , For people with MS, some authorities suggest avoiding fish (because of its high mercury content) and any grains containing gluten (wheat, rye, barley, and oats). You might try adding these two supplements to your daily protocol: glucosamine and chondroitin. Also, try massaging your knees with cold pressed peanut oil (an Edgar Cayce remedy).

I will look into it and decide if it is something that I would like to do. I appreciate the advice you have given me. , initially I discarded your e-mail because you received so many offers of advice I did not think that I had anything more to offer but then I was sending an e-mail to a friend and your complaint about aches and pains made me realize that there was something that was not suggested. That is phosphatidyl choline, either in pills or injection. My father suffered with severe knee pain and went and had a number of injections and now the pain is gone. Phos/chol is implicated in myelinization and if you don't have enough of this, you cannot rebuild myelin (see methyl magic by Craig Cooney). Lastly, there is a researcher in the US, Kane, who has been giving phos/chol injections to ms patients with good results.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hi , Its sounds like you have done lots of things to really help yourself. I am curious, does a colonic clean the whole bowel system??? It would seem like you should not be holding too many toxins since you are routinely cleaning out. I have been told that cracking noise it actually the ligaments rubbing across the joint and does not mean anything. I don't know how true that is. I work with horses and they get that cracking all the time in their hind legs. SOme have it really loud, but it never seems to be associated with soreness in anyway. The bone on bone feeling, its hard to say if that is actually what you have without an xray to determine whats going on. Can you get one of your knees?? The advice of Glucosamine is good, I however to not use chrondroitin as the studies have shown it not to be that useable in the body. Since I have used these type things for years with my horses, I have seen the results of the various different kinds. Glucosamine has always worked well, Its important to use one that can be digested by the body though and some are cheap products with fillers and synthetics so read labels carefully. I use the product Ambrotose which has the glucosamine in it, and also some other Glyconutrients. It has been shown to reduce 8 of the 10 bio-markers of aging and bone density is one of those. Try switching from flax to fish oil, if that is not against your diet. The fish is more readily usable as DHA where as the flax has to be converted and sometimes a person is not that efficient doing the conversion. Just have to make sure that the fish oil has no mercury or PCBS and many brands now days will tell you right on the label this fact. If they do not say they are tested merucry free, chances are they are not. -- Re: burning sensation in knees/legs In a message dated 1/31/2006 12:26:33 AM Eastern Standard Time, morningsunranch@... writes: Hi I've always had problems with my bowels since I was an infant.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Here is a letter I got from Delise I thought you might be interested. Blessing,Kathy Kathy, Yes, it is that easy, but not that quick....This is a pretty slow process. After all you have had this a long time. However getting slowly better beats the alternative. I had MS since 1962 It changed to secondary progressive in 1995. Every day I would wake up and something stopped working. I was barely walking. Today I'm fine... This is NOT instant. Since you have had this a long time, it will take a long time to get better. However, first and foremost you will not get any worse. and, you will very slowly and very subtlety get better. I hope that you are willing to give colloidal silver a try. It has changed my life. I have enclosed a little journal I kept Since we have not been able to talk, I want you to know a few facts so I have enclosed some information. The first point I need to make is that about six years ago the “experts discovered” that MS is an autoimmune disease after all. MS along with Parkinson’s, chronic fatigue syndrome, Lupus, crones, and many other diseases are after all viruses. These viruses are microscopic and are hidden under the plaque on the central nervous system. The silver finds these viruses and suffocates them. I do not have any type of degree, etc. I only know what I have recently learned about colloidal silver. It is extremely safe. There are no side effects. It will not interfere with any other medication or foods. It will not build up in your liver, kidneys, or any other part of the body. It very simply suffocates the virus and is eliminated from the body. NASA uses silver to keep the water pure in the space station. In 1900 The FDA said silver kills 650 viruses & bacteria. That was before they created antibiotics. Now that drugs are SUCH A HUGE money making business, they wish they had not said it, but they did, and it is true. PLEASE UNDERSTAND you have had this disease for a very long time. It will not go away quickly. You may not even notice a difference for 8 weeks. It is VERY SUBTLE. You will not even realize you have improved until one day you think about it, and you do feel better. I feel this is a new way of life for me. I would never even think about giving up my colloidal silver. I will drink it forever. You must commit a very minimum of SIX MONTHS to this. In those six months I am very sure you will see improvement. Remember silver suffocates viruses. It doesn’t know the difference from the MS virus, flu virus, cold virus, or any other. Therefore, if a cold or flu virus comes along, it will also suffocate these, and I would guess if you should get a cold or flu, (my husband and I have not since we began drinking CS) it will not be as bad as it would normally be. It will be quite mild. After a couple of weeks, you may feel some strange things happen in your body. THIS IS GOOD. This means the virus is dying, and it is disturbing the area on the central nervous system where it is hiding. You may actually feel like you are having an exacerbation YOU ARE NOT. The virus is dying and affecting the area. In two or three days, this will pass and you will feel better. DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! This is called “retracing” when your most recent symptoms will begin to go away. I will not promise you will get up and walk, BUT I can promise you will feel a little better every day. Right now all your doctor can promise is that you will NOT get better. This is NOT true. All you need is patience. YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO LOSE. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions what so ever. home ; work days, . My email address is nancymike@... if you happen to be on line. I would love to hear from you. MS is considered an autoimmune disease. The doctors tell us with autoimmune diseases, our bodies attack themselves for no reason. There are just too many bodies attacking themselves for no reason for this to be true. Actually there are extremely tiny microbes on all of our bodies. There are called mycoplasma. Myco meaning extremely tiny, plasma meaning it has no cell wall (much like a jellyfish). We all have these on our bodies, and they are basically harmless until there is a stress in our lives. At this time they invade your own cells. They take over the inside of your cells, they take the shape of your cell. They become hidden in your cell, and feed off the cell. Your immune system knows there is a pathogen, but cannot find it. It is attacking these hidden mycoplasma. What ever cell they invade is the disease you get. In my case, they attacked the central nervous system, I have MS. If they invade your organs, you have lupus, your joints, you have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromialgia, crones, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. The list is quite endless. At any rate, these are all very related. Silver is nature’s natural antibiotic. It suffocates single cells. Every part of our bodies is a multi cell, therefore it does not affect our bodies in any way what so ever. It will not build up in any part of the body such as the liver or kidneys. There is absolutely no side effects from CS. It will simply suffocate single cells, and be eliminated from the body. It is completely eliminated from the body in a matter of 2-3 days. Silver will kill the mycoplasma, but it is a slow, subtle process. It is definitely not an instant cure. It might be several weeks before you even notice any difference, but you can be sure that it is working. The main reason you will never hear about CS from a health care professional is that most have never even heard of it. The few who have heard of it, also have heard awful stories about it from the FDA. CS cannot be patented so obviously no one can make any money from it. The FDA is aware that if too many people know about CS, the pharmaceutical companies will not make nearly as much money as they do, so they try to ban and black list information about CS. Dr. G D Searle did a lot of research with CS, but when he realized he could not make money or patent CS he stopped studying it. The hospitals use silver for major burns. In the past, when someone had severe burns there was nothing they could do, and most died from infection. Today they have dressings containing silver that they put directly on the burns. The silver prevents infection, and helps promote new tissue growth. In most cases they heal without even scars. Of course, they can charge enormous amounts of money for these dressings, and can patent them, so the FDA has no problem with them. Topically CS works great. There is nothing better for cuts, burns, abrasions, etc. However, getting it to the mycoplasma is much more difficult, and also extremely slow. This is why it is not an instant cure. Much of what we drink is eliminated without even coming in contact with the mycoplasma. For any of the autoimmune disease, I can only explain what has worked in my experience, I would drink 16 oz. of 10 ppm CS daily. I would drink it very slowly over the course of the entire day. I also discovered over the three years that I have been drinking CS, that if you add 1 drop of hydrogen peroxide (H2o2) into every 2 oz. of CS, the particles of CS get pulverized, and it will get into the blood stream quicker, and be able to do a better job. However, since I have learned about Sovereign Silver it has become much more simple. The Sovereign Silver is the only CS on the market I would recommend. Their phone # is . They make the silver particle so tiny, it is able to get into the blood stream with no problem. The people who use Sovereign Silver have gotten well quicker then I did. I had to drink 16 oz. of my home made CS (or nearly every brand on the market) and I learned it is about 14 % useable silver. With Sovereign Silver you need to take only 3 tablespoons per day and it is 98% useable silver. Also, you do not need to add the H202 or anything to the Sovereign Silver. If you use Sovereign Silver start slowly. If you take the entire 3 tablespoons at one time you can get a lot of die off and this will make you feel as if you have the flu. You cannot take too much CS. It is just costly. Day 1-3 take ½ teaspoon two times a day; Day 4-6 take ½ teaspoon four times a day; Day 7-10 take 1 teaspoon four times a day; Day 11 and thereafter take 2 teaspoons four times a day. Again, I must emphasize this is not an instant cure. It is very slow, and very subtle. You will feel better, and not even realize it until you think about it. In fact, you may even feel slightly worse before you feel better because as the mycoplasma die off, they will put up a fight, and aggravate the nerves around it. I call this a “healing crisis”. If and/or when this might happen, DO NOT stop the CS. This could last for a couple of hours, to a day, or even a couple of weeks, but it will stop, and when it does, you will be better.

As I posted a couple months ago, the Japanesse are known for their seafood comsumption, yet they have about 1/20 the MS rate as the U.S.A. The company MASI has developed a 'mercury in your seafood tester' for stores.
