Re-myelination

Image
By
Well, it turns out there is a ton of information on the internet about remyelination. Amazing. I have never read about it. I realize how much I kept the "pillow over my head" in my 10 year-plus struggle with MS. I want to promote remyelination and healing in my brain. They say there are people who remyelinate better than others. Sounds like the disability level is dependent on this ongoing balance between demyelination and remyelination. I feel like I have stopped the destruction but now need to stimulate the healing (remyelination). I eat pretty well although far from perfect. I like a lot of the good foods -- salmon, blueberries, walnuts, beans, fruit. I get sun whenever I can (lucky here in San Diego). I take extra vitamin D. What else?? Please tell me anyone wise in the process.

IT'S HAPPENING

Wow, the information available on CCSVI on the internet is truly amazing! I have to admit: I did not research this topic as well as I could have. I did not read the study from Poland before my procedure. I did not realize all the excitement combined with incredible knowledge that is coming out of Georgetown. I am just reading them now and I can hardly contain myself. There is so much data available on CCSVI from around the world. I acted more on a deep gut feeling that CCSVI was real and was my path to healing. I was a little desperate as I felt myself sliding over the last year and didn't feel right with the auto-immune drugs. CCSVI just made sense to me; really good sense. Now reading the data, I am so excited for huge numbers of people to get healed/opened/freed! After doing a little research, it seems that nearly all people with definite MS have CCSVI. It also seems that people with MS who have the procedure have less flairs over time and a better quality of life. Some get a lo...

Placebo

By
Someone recently asked me in response to my blog as well as to the success of the Liberation Procedure, "Is it just placebo effect"? This is truly a loaded question. After my initial defensive reaction, I gave it deeper thought. Placebo is truly a giant word and concept. It has negative connotations("he is just better because of the placebo effect") but it has immense power and strength. In research studies, experimenters often compare a new treatment with a placebo. In order for the treatment to be accepted, a new therapy has to be better than placebo. In most studies placebo does remarkably well ie 30-40% benefit. So 30-40 per cent of people get better with a sugar pill or an inert substance. This speaks strongly about several points. First, approximately one third of people get better with no intervention with placebo or time or just believing that they will get better. This has enormous power. Harnessing the power of this safe intervention can be amazingly hea...
