Re: Multiple Sclerosis: A Revival of Hope

[Guest guest]

This is very interesting to me since I lived on antihistamines for years

prior to my most debilitating symptoms kicked in. I am researching this

some more and have asked a doctor I know about histamine. I will see

what he has to say.

I have been so busy. At a horse show all day yesterday and busy last

night. Daughter did really good at show, won championship in her

division and over all high point, got lots of prizes and ribbons. I am

of course very proud mama.

The mystery of most illness will never be revealed in our lifetime, we

just have to be diligent in trying everything in our power to get well

and not poison ourselves anymore then we have to. Happy Mothers days to

all the moms too!

Hi Adam. The article is saying that people with MS often need increased

histamines because the body is either not making them or they're being blocked

by something. Anti-histamines are not recommended by the author of this

article. Histamine therapy is what is being suggested.

Hi

OK, thanks for this. I was asking as my Brother (who has MS) takes a

lot of Anti-Histamines and allergy tablets as they seem to help his

sinuses/eyes/nose irratations.

Thanks, Adam

Hi Adam,

I have asked a doctor I know about this since I lived on anti histamines

for years. He has not responded back to me, but when he does I will let

you know what he says. I had asked him specifically about colustrum also

because there is a link between that and histamine and I do take

colustrum and I no longer have allergies. Just so much to understand!!

Hi Adam,

He got back to me and did not reply to the lack of histamine in relation

to MS. He only answered my question on Colostrum saying the following:

Colostrum regulates/balances EVERY metabolic and physiological function

in the body, including this histamine.

So this was my answer on why I have no allergies but don't know if

taking antihistamines for years had anything to do with my other MS

symptoms. I am sure taking any kind of drug for years certainly is not

a good idea.

Hi

OK, thanks for this. The problem is the anti-histamines are the only

thing that seem to help my Brother's eyes/nose.

Hi Adam,

Antihistamines are all that I used too until I learned that there are

ways you can actually get rid of allergies instead of treating symptoms.

Right now is the worse allergy year ever in my area since we had so much

continued rain, the grasses and pollens are horrible. I see people every

day that are just miserable like I used to be and think its such a shame

that they are suffering when they do not need to be. I wish your brother

was more open to this kind of thinking. I don't know how long your

brother has been taking the anti-histamines but for me they quit working

after around 3 - 4 years. I was taking huge amounts and they would not

even phase me, that is when I decided time for a change!

Hi

OK, thanks. My Brother is very sceptical of allergy tests because one

test 8 years ago totally destroyed his confidence in eating which, as

he was/is having vomiting due to Gastroparesis, only added to the

problems.

If there are any immediate suggestions though re eyes/sinuses I am

open minded and am grateful.

Hi Adam. Serrapeptase is good for inflammation and sinus problems. It's an

enzyme that also digests scar tissue. I've taken it for quite awhile now and

it's been good for edema in my feet and sinus headaches.

Hey , this is interesting, every so often I'll take some advil

when my back is bothering me, what I notice is the next day my ms

related mobility issues decrease. This makes since to me, reduce

inflammation and symptons improve. I realize the diet and food

supplements I'm on are geared towards reducing inflammation, if I

could help that along w/o the side effects of drugs that would be a

good thing.

Has Serrapeptase helped your ms?? How much are you taking, and what

brand are you using. Any side effects---hard on any of the major

organs??

Thanks

Hi Doug. I take Serra Ezyme mega caps at 40,000iu (400 mg). I initially

started with 3/day and increased to 3x3. Eventually I tapered off and now take

3/day again. Sometimes I skip a week or so. What it has helped me with is

edema. I don't have many of the symptoms I used to have. Whether it's solely

because of diet, glyconutrients, serrapeptase, vitamins/minerals/enzymes, Padma

28 (Adaptrin) or determination, I can't tell you. I believe it's the

combination. I don't have chronic pain anymore and I don't get many sinus

headaches (like I used to). I still get backaches from sitting too long or

twisting when I walk, but I don' t have leg pains very often. I can also tell

when I don't take serrapeptase because my feet swell. I got headaches when I

first started taking serrapeptase, but I was going through an

exacerbation/herxheimer reaction at the time and other things could have caused

the headaches. I don't get any negative side effects from serrapeptase now. I

buy

mine from Good Health Naturally. They always have a deal, buy 3 get one free.

There is some information on their site that might help you. I initially

started with a lower dose and quickly switched to the 40,000 iu.

Thanks you for this. Very much appreacited. Do you know if it

clashed with any other meds or supplements?

Thanks again, Adam

You're welcome Adam. It's an enzyme from silk worms. I didn't find any

contraindications. There are a lot of studies on the Internet. I've never seen

any negative ones.

Hi Adam,

I am sure the allergies are most likely caused by bowel problems and

lack of nutrition because of his other illnesess. Its really hard to

sometime get out of the cycle of ill health. If he is not on board with

supporting the systems of his body that need help the only options are

the drugs that make you feel better. These are short term fixes at best

but like I said even the drugs did not work for me after a few years.

Digestive enzymes, pro-biotics, would help his bowel and the Manna-C

would all help him feel better now.

Hi Doug,

Have you tried the SPORT yet, and are you taking the PLUS??? Those two

things can really help along with what you are taking already.

I forgot to say my Brother does take Bromalein which he thinks helps

his digestion after meals.

Hi Adam,

Perhaps if he is accepting of enzymes you could get him a more broad

spectrum enzyme and some pro-biotics, or a combo product, these can be

so helpful in replenishing the gut and when the gut is more happy then

other functions will be better. Bromalein is good but for me it was not

enough to make a big difference.

Hi

Thanks again for this.

Can you recommend any that are suitable for people with Coeliac's

Disease and that are lactose free? Also, do they clash with any meds

and when is best to take them? So may questions!

Thanks, Adam
