something i got emailed from Dr Mercola's web page talks about adding some sort of super antioxidant(Alpha-Lipoic Acid) to the LDN to basicly turbo charge the effects

there's a video clip too and Dr Mercolas comments to the article as well as 100 or so user type comments.

FluteMaker, I JUST came in here to post this!!

Not a member...couldn't read it..

just scan down the page - don't need to be a member -

Oops, duh.... Thanks..

i was reading it and it struck me much in the same way reading about the LDN did. its intriguing enough that i want to know more, maybe even try it to see for myself. the LDN has already gotten me the gift of having days where i feel normal. i still have bad days but i have more good days than bad.if this ALA can make that even better................

on a somewhat related note;
i did look into the colloidal silver too. i have a friend here in town who has been raving about it and the energy level it gives her. so she ordered her own 'generator' and makes her own.
she made me a batch a few weeks ago and i did give it a good fair try, but it seems to make my legs feel more tired than anything else('course my friend has been spms for 12 years and her legs are trashed already).i didnt notice any real boost in energy and in general i felt poor so ill be dropping that and i guess ill just stick with the coconut oil to deal with candida issues.

i did do the snapshot test for candida and it was there. when i got on the coconut oil and got it under control i did notice a further improvement ove the LDN alone

ALA is still in the trial stages, Kiddos. They don't have any idea of the proper dose and also how much is safe, long term. Taking a small amount probably won't hurt, but I would guard against taking too much.. JMO! Our own bodies usually make enough ALA for us, but who knows?

i did some more looking into the ALA for MS ideas and what the deal seems to be is to help cut off flairs before they get really rolling. the thought being that flairs are brought up by oxidative stress so to nip 'em in the bud you ramp up the anti oxidents. the ALA is supposed to be some hotrod antioxident. as a component to the LDN they havent found an ideal dosage for the ALA, but the bottle i got the other day gives an adult dose of 200mg per day with food.
aside from the ALA they also said you could use other antioxident such as vit C and vit E.but you have to up it a bit, 2000mg of C and 800iu of E.
the ALA is also one of the omega fatty acids( i forget if its omega3 or omega6)

The very first Neurologist I went to (the one who dx me) suggested I take ALA. I never did - I started on Copaxone soon after I was dx - but now I think I'll give it a try.

I've been doing pretty good. The heat and humidity still zaps me and my right hand is still very numb.....but nothing else has cropped up.

I had a little burst of energy this morning, too. I cleaned both bathrooms, did 2 loads of laundry, made BBQ pork and Macaroni and Cheese for dinner, baked a batch of brownies and paid bills! And I don't feel the need for a nap this afternoon!
