It's probably the same as all drugs/meds, where people with SPMS and PPMS end up trying it eventually, even without trials backing it. Why not, eh?

I like that someone with PPMS has tried it and he seems to have had considerable success though. It's all good.

I heard from Tim he is not PPMS. He did have 1 CD-8 cell in his MRTC set, and CD-8 T-cells are usually associated with PPMS. Since his study had both RRMS and SPMS, how he was classified didn't matter.

I hope that answers your question.

Thanks a lot, Cheryl. He was quite disabled when he started, and saw considerable improvement. Hopefully it wasn't just the "remitting" stage then . . . and was indeed due to the treatment.

I have my fingers and toes crossed on this trial.

(I haven't been looking over at that site in years . . . maybe I'll have a look if he is still updating.)
