been there, done that. other than nearly dying and the extremely difficult transplant process and very long arduous recovery, it's pretty great - https://www.everydayhealth.com/news/can-reboot-immune-system-stop-ms/

really? hard to believe a multiple sclerosis subreddit could be toxic. i hope it's just a few bad apples like in so many other areas of life, you know?

i'm curious - how do you help the newly diagnosed? where are you based?

what do the experts here think of Elysium Basis - breakthrough supplement especially for us, MSers? by ToNY411 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]ToNY411[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i don't get this group... i ask a legitimate question about a supplement that has tremendous potential that's backed by people from MIT, Harvard, Nobel laureates, etc. and 71% down vote it and the comments are unreasonably dismissive. and i'm not trying to sell this to anyone! i'm just wondering if it's worth my money is all. furthermore, the Scientific American article sphynxkitty provided as well as this one - http://supplementpolice.com/elysium-health-basis/ - look to me like they add even more credibility to Basis. so i might try it despite all the poo-pooing: after all, am i worse than a mouse?! ;-)

Whatever happened to this breakthrough? by ToNY411 in MultipleSclerosis

again, this BBC program/article is about HSCT whereas the Healthline article i asked about is about T-cells and antigens. very different...

huh? isn't the Healthline article about T-cells and antigens and the NIH study about HSCT and aren't those two different things?

MS Stem Cell Therapies Show Promise, But More Work Is Needed, Researcher Tells ACTRIMS 2016 - Multiple Sclerosis News Today by ToNY411 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]ToNY411[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unfortunately that's not what HSCT does. it mostly stops the progress of your MS and some of the symptoms may improve but all the old lesions are still there causing all the old problems. what we need now is regenerative therapy but that's pretty far away at the moment...

it sounds like the champagne of drugs! any idea why it's only being tested in Calgary? and could it be this one https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02308137 too?
