Default Fat cells for MS and liposuction
Has anyone seen the study that uses fat cells for MS?

I was thinking that if this is a success, I could have a flat stomach (plenty of fat cells there, healthy fat cells ) and a FLAT tummy!

Fat cells for MS??? As a cure or treatment? I should be disease free if fat cells turn out to be the magic bullet for MS!!

LOL, Cyn. Another interpretation error. I thought you were saying donating fat cells via liposuction for MS. LOL. I do have some I could donate.

I haven't seen or heard of this study. Are they finding that the cells help? That kind of makes sense to me if the cells have enough of the good fat. I think some amount of fat for us MSers is actually good. I know I have mentioned this once before but, breast milk is high in fat. That fat helps build healthy myelin in babies. I am probably just assuming here but I think that some fat, in healthy amounts, would be good for us MSers to help us rebuild the myelin. Who knows though? It just seems too simple to be realistic.

Only three patients but I am ready to sign up!

That is one study that has a good outcome even if there is no positive for MS.

Wow, Cyn! Sounds like a win-win situation - flat tummy and control of MS.

AMN - Thank you so much for your kind offer but I think I have enough adipose fat of my own to use.
