Well I'm coming at this from the exact opposite end of it as you and trying to make sense of everything. Could it be just hype? Of course. But it has had remarkable results when it comes to psoriasis, and I find it interesting that LDN has also had great results with psoriasis. And they both raise endorphins.

If they understood the cause of this disease, there would probably better options. But they don't. For me, not even being diagnosed yet, I am not ready to give up on them, but I am very leery of the other DMDs. My readings on them have brought me to tears thinking about the possible consequences. Frankly, many of them sound like poison to me. I am certain BG-12 is no cure. But I am also certain, based on its use for psoriasis, that it has the least scary side effects by a mile.

And if something might work, and that something isn't going to do harm (like some of the other DMDs might), then, for me, it is a no brainer.

And up until now, I'm the guy who doesn't take more than aspirin if he can help it.
