Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 casey and others, no, it doesn't say traditional medicine will be allowed, but it doesn't forbid it, either. " MS Support Group - Multiple Sclerosis. - This is a group of people who wish to share information on CURING Multiple Sclerosis. Main subject: eliminating MS cofactors, MS alternative therapies and beating MS. Join this group and get the support and knowledege necessery for curing and preventing reoccurance of MS. " i get, from this description, that any and ALL topics about dealing with ms are fair game. if ldn were to be approved by mainstream ms docs or the nmss, would people using it then be forbidden to share? or glyconutrients? or any other (currently) " alternative " therapy? maybe someone is on, or considering, an ABCR drug and is looking at options. maybe it's working for them and they want to add to those benefits. " support and knowledge " can and should include everything available. i joined this group with that (mistaken, unfortunately) understanding. i'm getting tired of the exclusivity of this group. i'm going to be looking for a more open-minded group. maybe i'll start one of my own.... michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 hi allison, i think our definitions of " open mind " must be different. i am stopping avonex, after 11 years, to go on ldn. i was never looking for a " quick fix " , but a fix of any sort i've been willing, and open- minded, enough to try. i am active, work full time, work out at the gym 2 hours, twice a week. no, i haven't been healed by avonex, but it could be why i'm still able to do all of this 11+ years after diagnosis. i'm not advocating the abcr drugs, only the open-mindedness of discussion. michelle > Sorry to see you go . As moderator of this group, let me assure you that it was founded to promote healthier alternatives to the CRAB drugs. It takes an open mind and strong determination to heal without looking for a quick fix. I'm glad we have many members who feel the same way. If you feel better using the drugs, I'm happy for you, but I've never heard of a single person who was healed by them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 The drugs ARE not for healing MS. They are for slowing down the progression. All of the Docs and books have said the above. As of a matter-of-fact, there isn't anything available to cure MS, as we all know. I was so shocked after my diagnosis to learn there wasn't a cure for the disease I was just diagnosed with. I had full faith in modern medicine, but, there isn't anything one can do.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 The problem is that progression isn't always halted and many people get worse from the CRAB drugs. The prescriptions quit working and get changed after a few years to another equally harmful chemical and other drugs are prescribed for symptom relief. Rather than getting to the root of the problem, the disease is masked. Many people feel that MS and other diseases are born of toxicity. Adding the drugs compound the toxins in a body ill-equiped to eliminate them. It becomes a vicious cycle. The drugs halt the progression for some, but give them liver damage over time (for example). It's better to detoxify and rebuild the body through diet and supplementation before the job gets too big. It's working for me and I would like to see others benefit from my experiences. The body heals itself with the right tools. Eliminating processed foods and chemicals from the diet can limit free-radical damage. Supplementation can rebuild cells and tissue. EFA's support myelin repair.... To sum this up, there isn't only one thing that's going to be the solution to overcoming MS. It takes a dedication to changing the processes that got us here in the first place! Chere Elsinga wrote: The drugs ARE not for healing MS. They are for slowing down the progression.
