I came across this article as well as many others regarding oxidative stress in MS. I found this interesting and thought I would share it. This is just one of many articles/studies regarding this. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20600869

http://www.neurology.org/content/53/8/1876.short - This article has to do with the CSF of MS patients. ". . . was three times higher in subjects with definite MS than in a benchmark group of subjects with other neurologic diseases."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10609336 - "In conclusion, the blood of patients with MS shows the signs of a significant oxidative stress. The possibility of counteracting it by antioxidant administration plus an appropriate diet, might represent a promising way of inhibiting the progression of the disease. Antioxidant supplements should include not only GSH repleting agents, but also Vit. E, ubiquinol, and selenium." I thought this one was the most interesting. It's from 1999 but after studying my diet daily for a couple of weeks, I have found that I am consistently low in vitamin E. I don't take CQ10 but may start after reading this study. Selenium, I get way more than the RDA on a daily basis.

Anyhow, I just thought you guys might be interested in this. Heck if you google oxidative stress and multiple sclerosis, lots of information comes up. But, I like to go to trusted sources.

Any thoughts or ideas on this would be great! I'd like to hear what you all have to say in regards to this.
