Like I said, you'll have something to gain and nothing to lose except some $$, and that is not very much!

If it were me I'd try it anyway... wouldn't it be interesting to prove your doctor mistaken? It has happened you know!

All I could find on this "stripping myelin" question was that
chemo interferes with carnitine metabolism. Carnitine works in the mitochondria of cells where our energy comes from.

I'd wonder if you disturbed the axon cells, they would be unable to provide repair to the myelin, and perhaps that is the connection? Restore the metabolism and you might repair. MS patients have been known to remyelinate once damaged.

But it is your decision after all... this supplement is very easy to tolerate with no significant side effects..not a risk in any way.
