Pageler- MS’er and Editor

I just became aware of a ‘new’ treatment for MS. Like so many others before it, the MS establishment has labeled it as questionable. But this one appears to be different. It is a true homeopathic formula. And this treatment is not administered with a needle thank goodness. A few drops under your tongue instead of a needle. That alone would make it appealing to me. Effective but different seems to be an appropriate description. Unlike the CRAB drugs, which are all variations on immune suppressing Interferon formulas, this is a protein that enables nerves to function once again.

It is called the Esperanza Peptide. From what I’ve read it is unlike Pycnogenol, in that it has twenty+ years of scientific research behind it and is not set up in a money making scheme. There is actual documentation of the bottom line physical improvement. And unlike Procarin, whatever effectiveness it delivers in symptom relief does not seem to fade after a few weeks.

All in all this seems the most legitimate new approach to controlling the symptoms of MS that I have ever seen. Mundschenk, the scientific director, at Esperanza doesn’t pull any punches. The Esperanza Peptide is not a cure for MS and it won’t reverse every symptom. But for certain symptoms such as lower body mobility and strength, slurred speech and balance the symptom can reverse very quickly.

The success rate for symptom reversal varies, but is very high for slurring words and cognitive problems of short-term memory loss and the ability to maintain one’s balance. The success rate for people being able to get up out of wheelchairs and walk again is also quite high. This is highly dependent on how long the patient has been immobilized and how much muscle rebuilding is necessary. Improvement in walking gate is also quite high as the peptide seems to allow much more freedom and control of leg and lower body muscles. The pain often associated with MS is another symptom that seems to respond quite positively. Unfortunately MS caused vision problems do not seem to respond to the peptide treatment with a predictable improvement. Sorry Ellen, but the research continues and other improvements are expected.

However, at this time the reversals are not permanent. Treatment daily with the peptide is necessary. Well that should not be any big deal. A spray of pleasant tasting liquid under the tongue once or more daily is not a difficult task. In my opinion one aspect that has not been adequately tested is the interaction between the peptide and a patient’s diet.

We have been doing an experiment with some in our group who have been finding it difficult to commit themselves to the Lo-fat Diet by having them agree to follow the Lo-fat Diet and take the basic supplements only for four months (120 days). I feel that if they follow through and actually follow the diet for the full 120 days that they will see enough improvement in their lives that they will dedicate themselves to the diet forever. I know from experience that every MS’er will see such an improvement in symptoms and in their general welfare that if they are honest they will change their diet for life.

I wonder what the experience of Esperanza would be using the same time frame? If a patient started using the peptide and got almost immediate symptom relief of, let’s say slurred speech, and then later went on the Lo-fat Diet and supplement program, would they be able to stop the peptide without symptom reoccurrence after a period of time on the program?

In other words could the peptide be the immediate symptom relief and the Swank lifestyle changes the permanent symptom relief … An interesting question?

This treatment is going to be almost as expensive as the CRAB drugs but I think it would be worthwhile for those not yet in control of their disease.

This is going to take a lot more looking into by a lot of people. But to me it is always the bottom line. Does it work? Can someone wheelchair bound get up and walk again? Can an MS’er who cannot maintain their balance for more than a few seconds standing, feet together, arms down at their sides and eyes closed suddenly stay upright in that position for several minutes? And how about the MS patient with a tongue from hell, who’s slurring of words makes him totally unable to be understood. Can he suddenly have the diction and voice timber of a professional announcer? The Esperanza peptide people claim it can and does happen with great frequency.

Take a look at the Esperanza web site: www.esperanzapeptide.net or go to the testimonial page www.esperanzapeptide.net/testimonials.php This looks to me like a real honest to goodness break-through in MS treatment.

Until Next Time,
