MS

[Nancy]

Hi All,

Do any of you know if AP is used at all for MS patients???  I have a friend who is possibly looking at this as a dx, but is not sure yet.  Just obviously scared and looking for info.  Any thing you know about it is greatly appreciated.  She does have Hashimotos and her entire thyroid was removed….she is currently trying to get that meds for that on the right levels but is suffering from uneven strength between sides, swelling, numbness, and headaches.  They are also trying to rule out a brain tumor.  In any case, I am looking to know if anyone knows if AP works for MS considering that are saying MS is an AI disease. 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Nancy,

Yes! I have a specific interest in this, too, as my brother has MS and have done a bit of research on it. In fact, minocycline is currently undergoing trials in British Columbia, Canada, testing its efficacy in early MS. You'll find a lot of information online by just doing a search on minocycline and MS.

Chlamydia Pneumoniae has been linked with MS and there is a website using the Wheldon Protocol for MS at http://www.cpnhelp.org  Wheldon's wife suffers from MS (her story is on the site) and he has helped to bring her to remission with the use of antibiotic therapy.

Lyme Disease is also amongst the pathogenic suspects linked to MS…a strong association in some cases and very worth looking into. If your friend lives anywhere in the New England area, I'd be happy to share my Lyme Literate physician's info with her. Just send me a private message. An internal med guy, his area of expertise is in microbiologiy, with a specific interest in the connection of Lyme and “autoimmune diseases” and treating Lyme patients with long term antibiotic therapy.

Wishing you well in your searches…you must be a wonderful friend!

Peace, Maz

Thanks Maz…I still have all of your doc's info….and I will read all of that info you sent!  Thanks so very much.  How is your brother's treatment going?  What is he doing for it? 

Thanks again!  I will keep you posted as to the results of her MRI.

Hi, Nancy:
 
If AP is not used for MS, I believe it should be!
 
Professor
Ebringer has found a link between MS and the bacterium Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and has made the following claims and observation relating to this:

Hi Nancy – below is a link to David Wheldon's website. He is a microbiologist at Bedford Hospital (U.K.) and designed an antibiotic protocol for his wife's MS. He is also a novelist and poet! The material on his site re MS also makes ref to Crohns and Arthritis. Best Lynnie

Nancy,

Will add the following to your collection of information about MS for your friend.  She is fortunate to have you for an “MS Warrior” to help her.

Chris Jones, chief executive of the MS Trust, agreed that the study was small, and had only covered a short period of time.
“A longer trial with more people will be needed before we can properly gauge the value of this combination for people with MS.”
Helen Yates, of the MS Resource Centre, said the condition was complex and difficult.
She said other work was examining the possibility that MS was linked to an infection of the bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae – more commonly associated with respiratory disease – in the brain.
“The growing interest in combination therapies is producing some good results, in particular for those people for whom single therapies have not worked.”
