Wink NMES and Olive Leaf Extract

I went to physical therapy for some time and my doctor -- a physical medicine specialist -- finally ordered a Neuro-Muscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) unit for home use. It works to re-educate the muscles and make new connections between brain and body parts. If it's not possible to make new connections due to extensive lesions, then it keeps your muscles toned. It does help with pain as well.

I have recently had a reversal of long-standing numbness in my feet and connect that to taking Olive Leaf Extract. At first, it sounded silly to me but some of the information on this supplement is amazing. I would guess your response would depend on the level of your disease activity and progression.

Olive Leaf Extract has improved MS-like symptoms (EAE) in mice according to an article entitled: "Dry olive leaf extract ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis" I was unable to post the link since I haven't been on the forums long enough.

Another great article describing the many benefits of OLE is on Wikipedia.
