Ferulic Acid

[Guest guest]

Hi I'm new to the group. I was diagnosed with MS in December of last year but

I've been

taking Avonex for 3 years now. I was diagnosed with CIS (Clinically isolated

syndrom)

about 3 years ago. I have optic neuritis in the my left eye and lesions on my

brain. I had

an MRI done in November that revealed a new lesion which lead to the MS

diagnosis. I'm

interested in trying other ways to treat my MS while taking the Avonex.

I saw an article on Ferulic Acid. In studies it helps Mice with an MS like

disease. It has

something to do with the Syncytin virus that we all have. I guess MS patients

have levels

3% higher in their brain tissue compared to people without MS.

Here's an article.

Has anyone here tried ferulic acid?

Also, my fillings were done when I was a kid. Probably sometime in the early to

mid

1980s. What are the chances that my fillings contain Mercury.

Thanks,
