copaxone is 4 amino acids in a sugar base of mannitol. Its something your body makes already, just more of it. Same for interferons, we make that stuff natrually when we are fighting the flu, we ramp up and make interferons to interupt the cycle of the virus, and therefore, we aleady make it. This is why they are specialty drugs, or bio identicals. its drugs that are made to be as close to identical to what our bodies make naturally, as possible. BUT...like estrogen (another bio identical) it can cause issues. Estrogen/progestin combos have been shown to cause an increase in clotting, heart attacks, strokes, and cancers. The science changes from year to year. We dont have enough decades of research to know what the increase in amino acids, or interferons do to us just yet.

The best we can hope for is to help slow down this monster so that we are as healthy as possible when they unlock the trigger or cure so we can regain much lost ground. That is my goal anyway.

Dang! I forgot my shot! thanks for the reminder.
