Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi Aletha, Kathy L & All, This May birthday issue seems to be a bit of a "hardy perennial"! -It came up quite a bit about a year or so ago: (Actually, as an early June being myself, I`m more inclined to regard it as an early summer phenomenon!) Quite a number of people here did confirm that their birthdays were indeed around this time. In terms of the Vitamin D level at the time, I don`t think the (approx) August conception is the significant thing here, as, in fact, in late summer people are more likely to have a decent level of Vit D in their bodies than at other times, as the level has (should!) have been accumulating through the summer sun: As I understand it, the significant point here is that the pregnancy continues through the winter & new year so that the foetus is developing exactly when, in the northern climes, the mother`s Vit D level is likely at it`s lowest, as a result both of the lack of exposure to sunlight, & the weakness of the little sunshine there is at that time of year. This seems to me to be very likely a signifcant factor in increasing potential vulnerability to MS. (I DO take significant amounts of Vit D!) Regards, Gerald [low dose naltrexone] May birthday Aletha, what significance does a birthday in May have with ms? I'm really curious as I was born in May. Also, Dr. Neiper believed more people got ms in August due to something with electro-magnetic fields and the Earth's poles. It is in his book "The Neiper Revolution" Best, Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I guess my MS is WAY out of the norm then...My mother was pregnant with me in Florida (lots of sun) and I was born in November...My one disadvantage I have found is I lived in Colorado (the risk ages) from the age of 8 until I was 26...Colorado has a very high MS rate. For a good laugh if anyone needs it, the eye dr asked me other day if I had dogs growing up..which I did...he said there is a correlation..never heard that one and neither had my neurologist! People will say anything I guess to figure out MS!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Has come up on here a few times before, last time near the end of June. The theory goes along the lines that distemper in dogs is equivalent to MS in people and some people suspect there is a link between people who had dogs with distemper when they were kids and those who now have MS. Of course there are plenty of people with MS now who never had a dog with distemper but there could be a slight correlation. Do a search on distemper in the archives. michelline_stewart wrote: >For a good laugh if anyone needs it, the eye dr asked me other day if I had dogs growing up..which I did...he said there is a correlation..never heard that one and neither had my neurologist!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Actually, I remember hearing about the pet theory when I was first diagnosed (20 yrs ago). The exact issue, I believe, was if the pets had distemper. Well, I had cats (13) on the farm I grew up on that contracted distemper and died. Hmmmm. This is the first time I've heard about the pet theory since then. I'm a November baby, so no connection there for me, but I DID have mono as a child. As for vitamin D, I take 4000iu/day. I live in Saskatchewan and the winters get awfully dark up here! Cheers!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 In that case you will be happy to hear that due to vaccination, the airborn disease of distemper has been almost totally irradicated in the USA, yet MS increases -- I don't think I believe in this correlation.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I don't have MS anyway (something similar in outward effect but different etiology) but if you re-read you will notice that the apparent/supposed correlation is with people who as KIDS had dogs with distemper. There are plenty of people around who still fit that bill. The proof of your line of reasoning may come many years down the track if the incidence of MS starts decreasing for no apparent reason. However, dogs still get distemper vaccinations and when I did a search on distemper a bit earlier to see when the topic last came up on here I found a post from someone who said their first MS attack came on only weeks after their dog was vaccinated against distemper. Probably coincidence, but..........???

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 actually there is a doggie ms - it affects mostly german shepards and its name escapes me right now. there was research done on some island between the dogs and the people but never really panned out. Distemper is a horrible disease where these dogs die an agonizing death. i think some people are trying make a correlation between the vaccinations and the disease. vaccinations for dogs are very controversial but if you've ever seen a dog die from distemper you would make sure your dog had it shots. because this is such a hot issue in dogland there are new improved vaccinations coming out all the time and new protocols actually being researched. instead of dogs getting their vaccinations all in one day they one set one year the next the next year. cyndi On Aug 5, 2006, at 9:40 AM, C wrote: > Has come up on here a few times before, last time near the end of > June. > The theory goes along the lines that distemper in dogs is > equivalent to > MS in people and some people suspect there is a link between people > who > had dogs with distemper when they were kids and those who now have MS. > Of course there are plenty of people with MS now who never had a dog > with distemper but there could be a slight correlation.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 HI ALL, WANTED TO TOSS ANOTHER THEORY I'VE SEEN OUT THERE TO YOU ALL. WHEN I WAS FIRST DX'D, I REMEMBER READING ABOUT A CORRELATION BETWEEN MS AND SMOKING. SSHHH. DON'T TELL MY HONEY THE NUTCASE HEALTH FREAK THAT HE IS AND THAT I LOVE DEARLY. CAP'T CAVEMAN, I CAN'T FIND YOU EMAIL ADDY TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT MY BODYBUILDER GUY SAID AS FAR AS STUFF TO RECOUP YOUR BACK SO CAN YOU EMAIL ME OFF POST SO I CAN GET YOU ADDY. HI ANGEL NANCY!!! OH, I ALSO REMEMBER READING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE WITH MS HAVE A STATISTICALLY LOWER THAN AVERAGE CHANCE OF GETTING CANCER OF ALL SORTS BUT THAT THE STATS CHANGE TO AVERAGE ONCE/IF ANY OF THE CRABS ARE USED. EACH CRAB MAKES YOU PRONE TO A DIFFERENT CANCER. THE ONLY ONE I CAN RECALL IS COPAXONE FOR BREAST CANCER. DON'T REMEMBER THE RAB AND CANCER TYPES. SORRY IF I POSTED THIS B4. SWISS CHEESE MS BRAIN HERE. ANYONE ELSE READ THE THING ABOUT SMOKING OR THE CRAB-CANCER STUFF? BE WELL ALL, DONNA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 unfortunately eve thats not true. it could be true if people vaccinated their dogs but many people will only vaccinate for what is required and that is rabies. In miami distemper is endemic - there is one shelter that has so much of it that we told them unless they changed their protocol and vaccinated dogs when they arrived we wouldn't take them because we were sick and tired of watching dogs die.in one summer we had 10 goldens in a row dies this horrible death and a vet bill from hell. because most of my work is in the animal world we have been working on trying to get to this population to discuss pet responsibility and one of things is vaccination for distemper. the only reason rabies is mandatory is because it could affects humans.cyndiOn Aug 5, 2006, at 10:00 AM, Eve wrote: In that case you will be happy to hear that due to vaccination, the airborn disease of distemper has been almost totally irradicated in the USA, yet MS increases -- I don't think I believe in this correlation. Eve Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re: OT- May birthday Has come up on here a few times before, last time near the end of June.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Wow, I learn something every day. Perhaps it is the difference in climate? Or maybe I'm out of the loop since I retired two years ago. I ran a shelter here in WI for 25 years, placed over 17,000 animals, and in all that time we only had one come in with distemper. I've discussed this with our vet and he was the one who told me that it was almost gone. This is scary. Do you suppose the same thing will happen with Smallpox now that they are no longer vaccinating? Not that I'm a huge fan of vaccines, they could be much more safe, but they have rid us of the constant fear of Polio and other diseases that used to kill thousands.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi Cyndi, I've been thinking about this, and I think the difference is perhaps between a rural area and an urban area. In our rural county, we ran the only shelter in a five county area yet we never had the volume city shelters have. Thank Goddess! In the last ten to fifteen years, puppies of any sort are sought after by Chicago pet stores and a new "business" has been created. Puppy brokers advertise they will buy any mixed puppies, so many people are no longer spaying or neutering, and are using their pets to make money. However, the puppies must be vaccinated or they can't sell them. All of the combination vaccines incorporate distemper, so this may be one of the reasons it has disappeared here.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi Cyndi, According to http://www.mssociety.ca: "An estimated 55,000-75,000 Canadians have multiple sclerosis. Prevalence rates range from one MS case per 500 people to one in 1,000 across the country. Canada is a high risk area for the disease, which occurs more often in countries, like Canada that are further away from the equator. The MS Society estimates, based on current prevalence rates, that approximately 1,000 new cases of MS are diagnosed each year, which means three more people are diagnosed with MS everyday in Canada." I would say that where I am from, in central Saskatchewan, the rate is much higher. Maybe 1 in 50 in my home town? Well, I've often wondered if another risk might be the chemicals in the groundwater, since this is farming country.... >> i think the sun issue is interesting. i read somewhere that Vermont > had more ms than anyplace else in the country. then you have > scotland ireland england with so much. what is the ms rate in canada?.> cyndi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Do these areas have less sunshine too? I have also herd that New Jersey has a high incidence.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 right but afterwards people still need to vaccinate -its not a one time only. and no one really knows how long those vaccinations last for. not one has ever done the research up until a few years ago when people starting seeing a lot of cancer in their dogs and a university has started looking into this. and protocols are changing because of this research. Like LDN this is a people powered cause where people started not to vaccinate not because they were bad people but because they felt that it was harmful. like vaccinations in children all the evidence was created by drug companies that sold the stuff. cyndiOn Aug 5, 2006, at 11:44 AM, Eve wrote: Hi Cyndi, I've been thinking about this, and I think the difference is perhaps between a rural area and an urban area. In our rural county, we ran the only shelter in a five county area yet we never had the volume city shelters have. Thank Goddess! In the last ten to fifteen years, puppies of any sort are sought after by Chicago pet stores and a new "business" has been created. Puppy brokers advertise they will buy any mixed puppies, so many people are no longer spaying or neutering, and are using their pets to make money. However, the puppies must be vaccinated or they can't sell them. All of the combination vaccines incorporate distemper, so this may be one of the reasons it has disappeared here.   Eve Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re: OT- May birthday Has come up on here a few times before, last time near the end of June.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Sunshine is not an issue in Saskatchewan. We are the sunniest province in Canada with an average of 2000-2500 sun-filled hours each year. The problem is the temperature, and being able to get out into that sunshine. In the cold months (October to March), daytime temperatures range from +5C to -30C (40F to -35F) and can reach -40C (-40F) and colder. In the summer it can get up past 40C (105F). Lots of sunshine, but can be too hot or too cold to enjoy it! > > > > i think the sun issue is interesting. i read somewhere that Vermont > > had more ms than anyplace else in the country. then you have > > scotland ireland england with so much. what is the ms rate in canada?. > > cyndi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 that is also an interesting point. I was part of study with goldens and we were looking at rural areas because thats where the farms are. I had a friend born bred in Miami owned a tomatoe farm walked out behind the carbines with all kinds of wicked chemicals.it so hard to put your finger on one thing so you have to think that its some you have a genetic propensity for with a whole group of triggers. chemicals. lack on sunshine. land fills.cyndiOn Aug 5, 2006, at 12:19 PM, flyingwithoutabroom22 wrote:Hi Cyndi,According to http://www.mssociety.ca: "An estimated 55,000-75,000 Canadians have multiple sclerosis.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 What does dogs have to do with it. I have never heard of that. When I was growing up in Massachusetts, I would come home from school and for some reason I might have 10 dogs following me. My yard and my Aunts yard was one in the same. My Aunt spent a lot of time working on her part of the yard. She use to go crazy when she would see these dogs all over the yard. My Mother asked me if there were some way that I could avoid taking these dogs home. I never fed them, I just loved them. As soon as they saw me they would get all excited and follow me. I don't remember how long this went on for but I know it was for a while and it caused a lot of friction between my Mother and my Aunt. What is the connection between dogs and MS?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi Marie, There have been some theories linking MS and rabies as a trigger for MS. Nothing has ever been proven although there were some unusual coincidences. Along with that there was also a theory that growing up with cats helped to prevent MS. I remember reading this conjecture about ten years ago. Around that time , anything and everything was being investigated. Hope all is well in Mass. Things are good here in Florida but it ......ain't New England. Regards, Tom [low dose naltrexone] May birthday> > > Aletha, what significance does a birthday in May have with ms?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 That is exactly what I was thinking! The mother is not barefoot and pregnant! She is all wrapped up in her booties not getting any sunshine all winter up north and the fetus misses out on this important vitamin. Gerald. what is a significant level to you and do you get tested or feel comfortable with the dosage? By the way, I did a vitamin C flush two days ago and felt so invigorated! This time I could tolerate much more before obtaining the flush. Usually it is 4,000 but I reached about 12,000 this time. What does that mean? Thanks in advance!
