Please let us know what your background is? Do you have MS? Or is your interest simply business based?

Hi Krissy & Bill:

Do you have any side effects for using the steroid??

Does anyone else feel any negative side effect?

Thanks!

Bill,

I have been on steroids since January pretty consistently. Everytime they have tried to get me off them I would relapse. I am in the process of tapering off them finally. When I was first put on them, I could not walk. I would drag my leg, have to lift it up by hand to do stairs or get in the shower, and walked into walls alot. Now I don't have any of those problems. I have been on both IV steroids and on oral.

Krissy :-)

Hi Sharon & All:

I joined this group for several reasons:

--> to educate people about Glutathione (the building block of our body), which is proven by studies to help people with MS.

--> to share with people some information of an alternative and complementary treatment with MS because most people think only conventional medicine can treat diseases.

--> to let people know that there are many Glutathione scientific studies (see below) so it's not like I'm pulling everything from the thin air.

--> to give people enough supporting documents so they can make an informed decision as to whether they want to increase their glutathione level in their body and control their MS symptoms or not.

Therefore, whether people want to purchase the natural product to increase their glutathione level or not is totally Ok with me. At least that I know I've shown people that they have a "hope". However, if anyone thinks that he/she does not want to learn more about glutathione and how increasing it can help with MS patients, then I would not post anything afterwards.

Best regards,

P.S. I do not have MS but know many people who do. I understand how they feel and I see how their lives changed because of this natural undenatured whey protein. That's why I'm so eager to share with people.
