Nutriferon for MS & borage oil.

[Guest guest]

: Nutriferon for MS and ColdsI was on the clinical trial for "Immune Building Complex" (now Nutriferon) and found it added an important new dimension to my successful treatment of MS! Shaklee wasn't going to let me be on the trial at first, because traditional approaches to MS called for drugs to weaken the immune system (based on their thinking that MS is caused by an "overactive" immune system and therefore needed to be weakened) and cautioned people with autoimmune diseases to avoid anything that strengthens the immune system, like Echinacea. However, my approach had been just the opposite; I had been doing everything I could to strengthen my immune system, or make it healthy again, and had used Echinacea (Shaklee DR) with great results.I convinced Shaklee that I believed that IBC would be very helpful for MS, since the MS drugs at the time were all synthetic interferons; wouldn't it be better to get the body to increase its own production of natural interferon? I told Shaklee I knew how to get well from threatened attacks of MS, and that if there was any problem with the IBC, I would stop it immediately and take the steps that I knew would help me to recover. So they let me try it.Let me tell you, I was thrilled with the results! First of all, I had caught a really bad sinus cold that others had for 3-4 weeks! The usual vitamin therapy didn't stop this one; my husband got it, and he passed it to me. My nose was running like a spigot when the product (IBC) came Friday afternoon about 2 p.m. I took one right away, and another at bedtime; nothing had changed. I got up in the morning and still everything was the same when I took my morning pill. But along about 10 a.m., I noticed something was starting to happen, and by that evening, my cold was all but gone! It was very dramatic! By the next day, it was gone, although I still had to heal my sinuses. Normally, getting any kind of infection - cold, flu, bladder infection - would make my MS flare up, but the IBC kept my MS under control throughout that ordeal.The next thing I noticed was that IBC gave me a noticeable increase in my strength and stamina, even though I was already doing well in that department. AND it helped me to sleep better, and wake up feeling fresh and ready to go! Long-term use has definitely made it easier to keep MS under control.When IBC first came out, it came with a warning for persons with autoimmune disease not to take it, but I urged Shaklee to drop the warning and make it available to people with autoimmune disease, because it was clearly the single most important Shaklee product I took, except maybe the Vita Lea. Now there is no such warning; in fact when the new-design labels came out for IBC (gold cap, green label), the label said it "supports and modulates the natural immune-response process." I liked that statement, but it is not on the new Nutriferon label. Not enough room I suppose.So, do I recommend Nutriferon for MS? The answer is a hearty YES! Why take synthetic interferon, with terrible side effects (like injection-site reactions, abscesses, depression and suicides/suicide attempts) and possible long-term consequences, when you can get your body to make its own natural interferon without those side effects? Not to mention the tremendous cost savings!There is one more important thing I would add to her program at this time (not a Shaklee product): pure borage oil, for inflammation. My experience is that pure borage oil has the best anti-inflammatory benefits for MS of anything I've found. I had relapsing-remitting MS, and found it could stop a flare-up in 2-3 days, taking 2000 mg every 3-4 hours. Now I routinely take 1000 mg daily for maintenance, more if likely to have a flare-up due to stress, environmental toxins, airplane travel, etc. I would suggest she take 1000 mg at each meal for a month or two, then gradually cut back to 1000 mg daily if that works for her.Hope this helps.
