I was on Avonex for over 10 years from 96 -06 and I am somewhat concerened that since the Interferons are also very stromg anti-Cancer drugs that the absence of this stuff might let anything nasty(like Cancer) that may have been suppressed by the Interferon have a rebound effect and now go into an accelerated growth mode.

I never thought of that, Jack, but it does make you wonder??? LDN is supposed to protect against some cancers....Have you added that to your regimine yet?

When I was on "C" it let a nasty infection get in my body and multiply, by lack of it's surveillance system to the bodies own fight against invasive germs. It even says that on the insert for "C".

It took 5 months, many doctors, and meds in all categories, to get rid of it. That is when I stopped the "C". It wasn't doing anything positive for me, same amount of relapses from He!!

Then the infection, my doctor said stop it. Then when I tried to start it again for two weeks years later, I got site/allergic/hives reactions so bad, from the new formula that made it possible to be out of the refrigerator for 30 days.

So I haven't been on any DMD's since 2004-2005 They thought I was SPMS with relapses. I was going to try the MBP8298 clinical trial and was denied because I took steroids for the my bad relapses, and I took other meds that excluded me.

The LDN has put me back to better than my early years as RRMS. Neuro confirmed this on exam and MRI.
