Once in awhile I see a title and have to stop what I’m doing and comment.

It wasn’t a surprise, remyelination failure by humans.
I always feel the same reading any research on Multiple Sclerosis. Me, Once a Neuro Nurse, eager to help my patients get through high dose steroids after an exacerbation. MS 1980-ish.
No DMT’s. None, Not a one.
Here come Mrs. Jones again....she can’t walk now.
Admit 5 days then to nursing home for rehab, she can’t handle much therapy.
Today, I got my old school Copaxone shot out to warm up. Often I think of Dr. Panitch who I grew to love for his love of beating the MonSter. He invited me to the CombiRx study when diagnosed in 2007. I was randomized to Copaxone only arm but had flu like symptoms with the weekly placebo Avonex shots. The mind Is powerful. I do think Copaxone offers the Proteins needed to bathe my nerves in soothing broth. The give and take, yin/yang, Flowing. Nothing is static.
I think remyelination is Healing the Sheath.
Healing over scarred patches like a scab on a wound. Protective. Keeps rawness from spreading while the organism gets better, stronger.
Forget all your fancy mouse 🐁 drugs.
Think Vitamin needs, food for healing nerves.
How to remove toxins?
Prevention is key.
One element is to look at toxins the patient is exposed to.
Particularly Gadolinium. I believe it may do more harm than good.
Do little pieces of Gad do damage to the scarred places that light up on MRI?
Lastly, I recently started PT for my flat feet.
I am truly amazed at what foot exercises are doing for my balance, walking, knee pain.
Maybe this time I’ll keep doing her exercises after I’m done.
Thanks for listening 😎
