Guest guest Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Here's an article a friend of mine found re an apparently successfult treatment in a person with MS. I haven't heard of this before and noticed it was published in 1994. I guess it never caught on -- maybe because it worked? Anyone heard of it? Link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez? Db=PubMed & Cmd=ShowDetailView & TermToSearch=7814217 & ordinalpos=1 & itool=E ntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVAbstractPlus\ Or see abstract below: Rapid normalization of visual evoked potentials by picoTesla range magnetic fields in chronic progressive multiple sclerosis.Sandyk R. NeuroCommunication Research Laboratories, Danbury, CT 06811. This communication concerns a 55 year old woman with a 5 year history of chronic progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) in whom a single external application of extremely low magnetic fields (MF) (7.5 picoTesla; 5 Hz frequency) of 20 minutes duration resulted in a rapid improvement in symptoms including vision, cerebellar symptomatology (ataxia and dysarthria), bladder functions, mood, sleep, cognitive functions and fatigue. Improvement in the patient's symptoms was associated with normalization of the pretreatment abnormal visual evoked potential (VEP) latencies within 24 hours after magnetic treatment. The rapid normalization of the VEP latencies suggests that recovery did not occur as a result of remyelination but probably was related to enhancement of neurotransmitter functions. MF have been shown to alter cellular calcium metabolism which may facilitate axonal conduction in demyelinating plaques. Furthermore, as MF affects the release of the pineal gland's principal hormone, melatonin, which influences the release of monoamines, it is also hypothesized that the effects of picoTesla MF in MS are partly mediated by the pineal gland which has recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of MS (Sandyk, 1992 a).

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Also, re the previous post, the article was published in the International Journal of Neuroscience and you need to copy and paste the entire three lines of the link into your browser to read it.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Has anyone in this group tried this " magnetic fields " treatment? On another note, I'd like to remind everyone here, this is an alternative and natural treatment group for those with MS. I am seeing more posts lately about CRABS and posts about conventional studies about MS that call this disease " progressive " and " incurable. " I come to this group for hope and for natural cures-- ot to read what is on the conventional and mainstram sites There are plenty of other sites for that. I hope the group will remain true to its original purpose. > > Here's an article a friend of mine found re an apparently successfult > treatment in a person with MS.
