MS still in remission

Hi there.  I am over 18 months post partum, and my MS is still in remission. 
 
I still am not taking any MS medications for Tx.  No CRABs, no steroids, no LDN or prokarin either.  Nothing.  I got all my mercury amalgam (poison) dental fillings removed shortly after my MS Dx, and did heavy metal detox for 6 months.  I also took serrapeptase for a while, to work on the scar tissue, to try to get rid of the numbness in my hands that never went away, but since I got PG right after the heavy metal detox, and have been BFing every since the baby was born, so I didn't really want to take it too much.  I'll probably start taking the serrapeptase again after I stop BFing.  Good thing there is just mild numbness left in my hands that is pretty tolerable. 
 
I have been doing ongoing candida control to help keep my PCOS in remission, and that might have helped keep my MS in remission, too.  I have moslty been zapping with the Ultimate Zapper, and taking NSI Candida Yeast Management enzyme supplement, and taking probiotics for candida control.

Still in remission

Here I am for my monthly update.  I am officially 12 months post partum, and my MS is still in remission.  Thank the Lord, and knock on wood.
 
Right now, I am fighting a tooth infection.  My dentist says that I have to get a root canal, that antibiotics can't reach the infection inside the tooth.  But I am using the zapper, I think that the zapper should be able to get to the infection that is inside the tooth.  I am taking the antibiotics too.  The zapper should help the antibiotics to be more effective.   I am hoping that the zapping will help the yeast stay under control while I am on antibiotics.  I am also taking Yeast defense, and probiotics.  I ran out of the NSI Candida Yeast Management.  I need to order some more.  I also have a Rx of diflucan, but I am not sure if I want to take it yet.  I am little concerned about a die-off reaction, but maybe the zapping is keeping the yeast under control, so there might not be much of a die off reaction, or maybe I won't even need the diflucan.
 
I have been doing yeast control for the past few months to put my PCOS back into remission, so we can start TTC soon.  Just this cycle, I think I O'ed on time, just waiting to see if AF comes on time.  I was starting to think that my body was ready to start TTC. 
I am hoping the antibiotics don't make my PCOS come out of remission and mess up my TTC plans.
 
Well, I better zap now.  I'll KUP

Still in remission

MS update: I am now 11 months post partum, and the MS is still in remission.  Thank the Lord, and knock on wood.
 
I have been making green smoothies, basically, just adding raw greens to a fresh raw fruit smoothie.  Most people don't eat enough raw greens, so putting them in a fruit smoothie is a great way to get those raw greens in your diet. 
 
My baby just loves the green smoothies.  They are very delicious, and with the fruits mixed with the greens, you can't even taste the veggies.  My older boys don't want drink them because they are green, but they will drink them, if I can figure out the right bargain to motivate them.
 
Making smoothies in the blender breaks open more of those tough plant cells releasing more of those vital vitamins and other nutrients.  Plant cells are made of cellulose, which our bodies can't digest, so those cell walls need to be broken open, either by chewing (LOTS of chewing), or in the blender. 
 
Juicing the veggies will also break open those tough cells, but the juice is extracted from the pulp, and the pulp is thrown out.  Many nutrients, and almost all the fiber is thrown out with the pulp.  Without the pulp, the juice has a higher % of sugar, which could lead to a sugar spike in those people who are susceptible. 
 
Making whole food, raw green smoothies is just a better way to maximize the benefits from those foods, and a great way to fit healthy foods into your diet.
 
I gave a nutrition presentation to my co-workers a few weeks ago, and brought some fresh made green smoothies for everyone to try.  Most of the people said, "Ewww, it's green."  Then they tasted it, and said, "Oh that's not too bad!"  There were a few people who refused to even try it, even after everyone else said that it was pretty good.  Just goes to show that most people assume that healthy food taste bad.
 
Here are some basic green smoothie recipe instructions, but feel free to experiment to find a combo that you like the best.
 
Green Smoothie Recipe
Everything is fresh and raw, (or fresh frozen), and goes into the blender, 1 at a time, blending each thing before adding the next.  I add them in the order of the toughest to to the softest.

 

  1. A juicy fruit (watermelon, cantaloupe etc.), or 100% fruit juice, just enough to cover the blades of the blender.
  2. 3-4 large kales leaves, without the stems.  Blend after adding each leaf.  Can also add 1-2 handfuls of raw fresh spinach leaves, or several handfuls of spinach instead of kale.  Can also add parsley leaves.
  3. Handful of baby carrots, or 1 large carrot, washed & peeled.
  4. 2-3 large red (or yellow) delicious apples
  5. Any other fruit as desired (I like blueberries, mango, peaches, peeled orange)
  6. 2-3 ripe bananas (but not overly ripe).

 

After all the ingredients are blended smooth, place in a fridge container and chill. 

If the blender gets too full, just pour some into your container, and then finish adding the rest of the ingredients, and then mix them in your container (make sure your container holds more than your blender).

 

The fiber in the greens and fruits will clean out your system; so only drink 6- 8 oz. at a time, 1-3 times a day (as desired).  Since the vitamins are water soluble, and the body can’t store them, it will use what it needs at the time, and discard the rest.

Still in remission!

Today, I am 10 months post partum, and my MS is still in remission.  Thank the Lord, and knock on wood!
 
I have not been taking any supplements to keep the MS in remission. 
 
I am still taking serrapeptase enzyme to help get rid of any scar tissue: scar tissue caused by MS, and scar tissue caused by the c-section. 
 
I am also taking candida control supplements to help to make sure that my PCOS stays in remission, so I won't have any trouble when I am ready to start TTC #4.

Decided to wait on liquid zeolites

My first post partum AF only stuck around for 3 days. Since I didn't have any other O symptoms, I am thinking that I didn't O this cycle. It must have been the candida control that got AF to start coming again. It usually takes 3-4 months for Candida control to put my PCOS into remission, so I am glad that I started doing candida control early, so hopefully I will start Oing again by Dec.
 
I started taking liquid zeolites to try to detox some more mercury out of my body before I start TTC again, but now I realize that doing a detox while trying to keep my PCOS in remission probably isn't the best idea.  Candida tends to grow out of control during heavy metal detox.  Even though I am taking candida control products, doing the detox might make it harder for me to keep the candida under control, and hence make it harder to keep my PCOS in remission.  Since I plan to start TTC in  December, keeping the candida and PCOS under control takes priority over gettign rid of the rest of the mercury that is hiding in my body tissues. 
 
AND since my MS is still in remission, getting the rest of the mercury out isn't that urgent.  So I am going to stop taking the liquid zeolites for now.  I guess I should wait until I am done having babies before I finish detoxing all the mercury out of my body.  I hope that the MS will STAY in remission.
 
I am still taking the serrapeptase, since between the MS lesions, and the c-section, I have a lot of scar tissue in my body I would love to get rid of.

MS is still in remission :)

MS
Today, 9/08/08, I am exactly 9 months post partum, and my MS is still in remission.  (Thank the Lord, and knock on wood.)
 
PCOS
I have been a bit lax this summer about taking my candida control supplements to keep my PCOS in remission.  Two weeks ago, I finally started taking the Yeast Defense, and the NSI Candida Yeast Management, each at least 2 caps a day.  A few days, ago, I FINALLY got my first post partum AF.  Hum.....?  Was it just time for AF to return?  (I am still breastfeeding).  Or did the candida control supplements help to bring her back?  Well, I am not taking any chances; I plan to keep taking the candida control supplements to keep my PCOS in remission. 
I have also started taking the liquid zeolites again, for mercury cleanse, and since the candida over-grows when detoxing mercury, I definitely need to continue the candida control while taking the NCD liquid zeolites.
 
Oral Lichen Planus
After I started taking the liquid zeolites again (a few months ago) I noticed that the lichen planus has returned, not painful lesions, just a thickened area of tissue on the inside of my bottom lip.  So I wonder... is it the presence of the mercury being released during the heavy metal cleansing that has brought back the Lichen Planus?  Or is it the increased candida growth that always comes with heavy metal detoxing that has brought back the lichen planus?  At least it has not gotten painful.  No matter what has brought it back, I need to continue the mercury detox, and the candida control to prevent the MS and the PCOS from coming back, and hopefully, the lichen planus will disappear as well, once all the mercury is gone, and the candida is fully under control.

MS Still in remission

On 08/08/08 I was exactly 8 months post partum, and my MS is still in remission.  Thank the Lord, and knock on wood.
 
I know that there is probably still some mercury hidden in my body tissues, so I am going to start taking liquid zeolites, just 1 drop a day, so it can keep pulling the mercury out of my body, slowly, so it won't have too much of an effect on my baby, who is still nursing.
 
Everything is going great.  We are having a fun and busy summer.

Our baby boy has arrived

Our precious baby boy arrived Dec. 8, 2007.  He weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz., and was 19 in. long.  He is now 3 months old, and thriving.  He has been keeping me very busy these past 3 months.  I am still breastfeeding, and plan to continue for at least a year.  He is finally sleeping through the night (most nights).  Ahh sleep, it's a wonderful thing.

Oral Lichen Planus is gone

I just recently realized that my oral lichen planus is completely gone.  The pain and inflammation went away after starting the natural anti-inflammatories, like the freeze dried Noni, but I could still feel the thickening of the lesions inside of my cheeks.  The other day, I noticed that I didn't feel the thickened areas at all.  My tongue took a swirl around my mouth, and found nothing.  It is completely and totally gone, WooHoo, I am soooo excited.  I think that the anti-inflammatories helped with the pain and inflammation, but getting rid of the mercury fillings and doing the heavy metal detox helped my body completely heal from my oral lichen planus.

Ultrasound images of our baby boy

Here are some U/S images of my baby BOY at 23w5d.
The first one is his little foot.  You can count 5 perfect little toes.
In the one with the profile, it kind of looks like he is going to get his daddy's Peruvian nose.

It's a BOY!

We had our ultrasoud on 8/7/07 and have discovered that we are having a baby BOY.
 
My boys are so excited they are are going to have a baby brother.  We also saw that everything is developing perfectly.  They checked all the major organs, and everything has developed well, and the baby is just the right size.
 
I am in the best stage of pregnancy right now, and enjoying every minute of it.  The morning sickness is over, the baby is kicking and moving around alot, and I am not too big or uncomfortable yet. 
 
I'll post an U/S pic in a few days, so check back.

Some exciting news

Sorry I haven't been around much to update my blog, it's because I have been extremely tired, and nauseaus, and hungry all the time.  What is wrong with me? .....
 
You might have guessed it, I'M PREGNANT, EXPECTING, THERE IS A BUN IN THE OVEN, A THANKSGIVING SWEET POTATOE IS ON ITS WAY.
 
I am so excited.  We started trying in March, and were successful with that first cycle.  Of course I am sure that it helped that I had put my PCOS into remission with my candida control program that I had started last year, even before I was Dx'd with MS. 
I wanted to get PG last year, but after 2 failed cycles, I realize that my PCOS had returned.  I started doing candida control, and put my PCOS into remission, but then I was Dx'd with MS,and realized that I had to get all my mercury fillings out, and do 6 months of oral chelation.  I had to wait until March of this year to start trying for another baby. 
I am so happy that the first cycle was successful, I just didn't want to wait any longer than I had to.
Everything has gone well.  My progesterone dropped to 10.6 (should be at least 15) at 7 weeks, but luckily, I requested a progesterone test at that time, and we caught that progesterone drop, and I started taking supplemental progesterone (prometruim) before my progesterone dropped to low, and I was able to prevent a miscarriage.
At 10 weeks, I went for my first OB appointment, and the nurse couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler.  I insisted that I wanted to make sure the baby survived that progesterone drop, so the doc used his little office ultrasound to look for the baby, and we were able to see the little heartbeat just a fluttering away.  Such a beautiful sight.
I am now 14 weeks, and the morning sickness is almost gone.  I am starting to feel prety good.  I go to my next OB apointment next week, and I am so looking forward to hearing that little heartbeat again.  I will also get my blood drawn for the triple screen, where they check for the possibility of potential birth defects.  I'll be back after my next OB appointment to report how it went.

My MS protocol

As I have been doing a LOT of internet research, and trying different things to help my MS, I have come up with a simple plan for my MS Tx.(I reserve the right to revise this plan If I discover something new, that seems to help.)

Maximize nutritional balance, and minimize toxins and pathogens, and do damage repair.

Sounds simple enough, right?

Maximize nutritional balance: by eating a diet high in essential nutrients, and using nutritional supplements if needed. This includes plenty of fresh raw fruits and veggies, and very little processed and refined foods.

Minimize toxins: by removing mercury fillings followed my heavy metal chelation, and doing cleanses as needed (colon cleanse, kidney cleanse, liver cleanse, etc.)
Also minimize exposure to toxins by: using personal care products that are toxin-free (not just non-toxic), and by using organically grown food (as often as possible).

Minimize pathogens: with the use of herbs, or natural Tx's that can kill pathogens, like doing candida control with herbal, or enzyme formulas. Also using something like silver, and/or microcurrent therapy (zapper) to help kill other potential pathogens.
 
Damage repair specific to MS includes: decreasing inflammation and scar tissue, and restoring myelin.
I used some natural anti-inflammatory supplements (Noni, fucoidan, tumeric) to help decrease inflammation. Almost all my symptoms disappeared while I was taking the anti-inflammatories. I only have mild numbness left in the palms of my hands, which has greatly decreased since I have been taking the natural anti-inflammatories, but has not completely disappeared yet.

I just recently started taking serrapeptase enzyme, which is supposed to break down scar tissue, and allows the body to replace it with healthy tissue.  With MS, this would be to break down the scar tissue in the MS lesions, which will allow the body to restore the myelin. I am also taking an Omega/essential fatty acid supplement to assist my body with myelin restoration.

I certainly have hope that this plan will help my body to overcome MS. So Far, so good.  Time will tell if I will have lasting results.
Even if this plan will not "cure" my MS, at least I have put my body into a healthier state, so I will be better able to deal with whatever my MS throws my way.

Trying a new supplement

Ok, the numbness in my hands has decreased greatly with the Noni, and Pure Relief, which helps with inflammation, but the numbness has not completely disappeared. 
I am thinking that the inflammation in the nerves that goes to the hands might have already started developing scar tissue.  I used to think that once scar tissue has developed, then the damage, and it's symptoms would become permenant.  Then I learned about an enzyme that can actually break down scar tissue, and allow the body to replace it with healthy tissue.  I figure I have nothing to lose, besides, I have plenty of scar tissue from 2 c-sections, and a hernia repair surgery.  So I have started taking SerraZyme, which has the serrapeptase enzyme.  Lets see if I can get rid of the last of this numbness sensation in my hands.

Soul Cysters message board

I have recently discovered the message board at SoulCysters.com and have really enjoyed exchanging helpful information with the participants on that board. 
 
I have PCOS, and in my own personal experience, I have come to believe that PCOS is caused by yeast, candida.  I have put my PCOS story on my website: http://www.optimalhealth.homestead.com/pcos.html
 
Since I am the only one in the entire world (as far as I know) that has discovered a connection between candida and PCOS, no one else, except for a few friends that I have told my story to, has ever tried using candida control as part of their PCOS treatment program.
 
Most PCOS treatment programs: medications, weight loss, even most of the alternative treatments people are using, are all geared toward symptom management.  One thing to increase fertility or bring on the monthly cycle, another to reduce body hair, another thing to lose weight, one drug to stimulate ovulation, another drug to lower cholesterol, etc., etc.
 
Since I believe that candida causes PCOS, as a whole, with all it's symptoms, then killing the candida, should effectively treat the PCOS with ALL it's symptoms.  Theoretically, if candida control is used as PCOS treatments, then all those other symptom management meds, or herbs, are not necessary.
 
Of course, if you use candida control for PCOS treatment, the effect mght take some time in order to start seeing a significant improvement in certain symptoms.  With some symptoms, it would probably be beneficial to also do some symptom management to deal with that particular symptom right away, until the candida control has effectively taken care of the PCOS.
 
I have put several posts on the SoulCysters message board telling about my experiences with using candida control for PCOS treatment.  I have really gotten a positive response from the other message board participants, and a few have even decided to try doing candida control as part of their PCOS treatment program. 
 
I really hope that these cysters have as much success treating their PCOS with candida control as I have had.  Hopefully, they will let me know how it went for them.

Update

Ok, here is my update about using using natural anti-inflammatory supplements as part of my MS Tx.  The numbness in the palms of my hands is still there.  Sometimes, it feels like it is just barely there, and I hardly notice it.  Other times, I can feel it a bit more.  I have forgotten to take the supplements a few times.  The times that I have felt the most improvement, are the times that I was sure to take my supplements each morning, and each night.  So I continue on....
 
I have started to get more involved in a message board for PCOS, SoulCysters.net.  I'll write more about that in my next post.

Update: Using Natural anti-inflammatories for MS

As I sit here before my computer, I am rubbing my hands and trying to evaluate the degree of numbness/stiffness left in my hands. 
 
I started the natural anti-inflammatories again 3 weeks ago.  I am taking the freeze dried Noni Plus capsules, the Ziwi (a supernutritious drink with anti-inflammatory effects), and Pure Relief (a natural cox 2 inhibitor). 
 
Last week was kind of hectic, and I did forget to take some of the supplements a few times, but by the weekend, I was pretty much back on track. 
 
The numbness in my hands is still there.  It is not gone, but it is noticably less than it has been.  This numbness, this altered sensation, in my hands is kind of like wearing gloves.  The thicker the "gloves", the more numbness and stiffness I feel in my hands.  Well, it feels as if the gloves are getting thinner and thinner, as the numbness decreases in intensity. 
 
The progression has been a bit slow, it has taken 3 weeks to get this far, but I just hope the numbness continues to progressively get less and less until it is gone.  Then lets just hope that the oral chelation: ie. getting all the mercury out of my brain, keeps any more MS lesions from forming in my brain or spinal cord.  I have an appointment with my neuro next month.  I am hoping he will order an MRI to see if there have been any changes in my MS lesions since my last MRI.  I am sure he will be curious, since I have not been taking an MS TX drugs.  He might agree to it, just hoping that he can use the results (if show larger lesions) to convince me to start Rebif (his MS TX drug of choice).  I am curious to see if the natural remedies that I have been doing have had any effect on the MS lesions.  I know it might be too soon to tell, but it certainly won't hurt.  I want to get it done before the end of the year so it will be covered by my insurance before I have to pay another annual deductible.  (LOVE my insurance company, Select Health with Intermountain Healthcare.)
 
I will write another update in a week or 2.

Update: anti-inflammatories for MS

It has been a week since I have started taking the anti-inflammatory supplements again: the VivaTRU Pure Relief, and the VivaTRU Noni Plus (freeze dried Noni in capsules).  In addition to the VivaTRU Ziwi, and the Extreme Health Oral Chelation formula, which I have continued to take. 
 
So far the numbness in my hands continues.  It seems like it might have decreased a tiny bit, but this might be wishful thinking.  I think it will take a bit more time, after all, it took about a month for the numbness on the bottoms of my feet to dissapear after I started taking these supplements in June. 
 
I am going to double the Pure Relief, and take 2 with breakfast, and 2 with dinner to maybe get faster results.  I will write another update next week.

Did my VivaTouch assessment

I did my VivaTouch nutritional assessment today.  WOW, I was amazed at the results.  In the part where it assess my body to determine which nutritional supplements my body is needing right now, the results indicated that:
 
#1 is Ziwi, which will bring my body 44% closer to optimal nutritional balance. 
#2 was Pure Relief, which, when added to the Ziwi will bring me another 22% closer to optimal nutritional balance. 
#3 was Noni Plus, which, when added to the Ziwi, and Pure Relief, will bring me an additional 33% closer to optimal nutritional balance for a total of 100% total nutritional balance (I rounded up). 
 
WOW, this is exactly what I was thinking that I was needing.  So now I know for sure that my body is needing the Ziwi, the Pure relief and the Noni plus, just as I wrote in my blog yesterday.
 
I have been trying to eat a healthy nutrition packed diet, so I only need a few supplements to reach 100% optimal nutritional balance. 
 
I have had a few clients who eat such a nutrient packed diet, the their VivaTouch results indicated that they only needed 2 supplements to reach 100% optimal nutritional balance.  I have had other clients whose results gave them the top 4 supplements that they were needing, and they still wouldn't reach higher than 80% with those 4 supplements added to their daily nutrient intake.  When results indicate that 4 supplements are needed, and will only help them reach 90% or less optimal nutritional balance, I like to discuss simple diet changes to help them start on a path toward eating more nutritious foods. 
 
We really should be getting most of our vital essential nutrients from the foods that we eat and should only need to take a few nutritional supplements to make up for what our diet is lacking.  I am so glad that I can get regular VivaTouch assessments to assess the changing nutritional needs of my body as my body, and situation changes, and as I change my eating habits.

Inflammation in MS

We recently returned from our second trip to Mexico.   I had to see the dentist again to get the permenant crowns put in.  Everything went well at the dentist's office.  Then we had a week to vacation in Mexico.
 
Vacationing in that area of Mexico is a lot like vacationing in the USA.  The prices of hotels and restaurants is almost the same.  We did find that if you pay with dollars, the restaurant doesn't give you as good of an exchange rate as the money changers, so it is best to change your dollars for pesos before you pay for your hotel, or go to a restaurant.
 
We spent most of our time in Ensenada.  We spent a few days on the beach.  It was GREAT.  In Mexico, they think it is too cold this time of year to swim on the beach, so there wasn't hardly any other people there.  I am a hardy mountain girl, and have been swimming in lakes and rivers just downstream of the snowpack runoffs since I was a child.  The water in Mexico was GREAT!!!  We also had a great time combing the beach for shells.  I was just delighted to find a few scallop shells that were only 1 cm across, and a couple of sand dollars that were 3-4 mm in diameter.
 
Mexico had warmer temperatures than Utah, and I noticed that the numbness/stiffness in my hands increased a little while I was down there.  People with MS are very heat sensitive, and their symptoms become more intense when temps go up.  Some people have their theories about why.  This is a possible theory:  I have been thinking that it might be due increased inflammation with temperature changes.   Inflammation is  caused by extra fluid that has been allowed to leak into the affected tissues, and cells.  That is why you apply ice pack to an injured area that has become swollen; the blood vessels contract when the ice is applied, restricting the amount of fluid is allowed to escape into the affected tissue, and the inflammation is stopped, and can even reverse.  Well if you were to put a warm pack onto that area, the inflammation would not stop, and would even increase.  So just like a warm pack, increased temperatures can lead to increased MS inflammation, and increased intensity of symptoms.
 
I have not been taking the natural anti-inflammatory supplements lately.  MS is a disease of inflammation.  It is the inflammation that does the physical damage to the myelin sheath cells in the brain, which in turn alters the nerve impulses of the effected nerve, resulting in the symptoms of MS.  It is so important to stop the inflammation, in order to prevent further damage to those cells, and hopefully they can be fully repaired, and the symptoms can be reversed.  Most doctors use steroids to control the inflammation, especially when loss of vision has occurred, and the person is at risk of permenant damage to the nerves of the eyes which would result in permenant vision loss.  If my vision was ever at risk, I would get the steriods.  But steroids have such aweful side effects.  They mess up the metabolism, cause weight gain, suppress the immune system, and cause calcium loss from the bones.  So when my MS symptoms started with only numbness, and my vision was not affected, I opted for the natural anti-inflammatories.
 
The natural anti-inflammatories I took were Pure Relief, which has fucoidan, Noni Plus freeze dried capsules, and Ziwi, the super food drink that has fucoidan, acai berries, and goji berries. The Ziwi has also been shown to help the body cleanse of heavy metals, so I am not sure if it was the anti-imflammatory effects, or the cleansing of the heavy metals that helped me the most.  My symptoms stopped progressing, and started reversing after I started taking these three things.  The numbness on the bottoms of my feet was gone even before I got all the Mercury fillings out. 
 
As I have been doing more research, and studying about MS, I think that it was the anti-inflammatories that helped the most to stop the progression of my MS syptoms.   But anti-inflammatories are not the cure for MS.  Inflammation is not the root cause of MS.  It is only a symptom that causes other symptoms.  So anti-inflammatories are ONLY for symptom management.  To cure MS, we need to find out what causes the inflammation to occur in the first place.  If we are only taking things that treat the inflammation, or prevent the inflammation, we will be dependant on those things for the rest of our lives.  The anti-inflammatories vital for initial treament of MS, because it is so important to stop the inflammation to prevent further damage and to hopefully reverse the damage that has already been done.  But something else must be done in order to stop the cause of the inflammation, the root cause of MS.
 
So that is why I have stopped taking the anti-inflammtories for a while, to see how I do without them.   I might want to start again so I can see if there is any difference between not taking them, and taking them.  So far, the numbness in my hands is still there.  It seemed to increase a bit when I had run out of the oral chelation formula, but I had also decreased the amount of anti-inflammatories I was taking about that same time.  I have started takine the oral chelation again, and the numbness decreased again, almost back to the level it was before I ran out, except while were in Mexico, when it increased a bit.  Now it seems to be back down again, holding steady, but not resolving completely.  I just might need to hit the anti-inflammatories heavy until the symptoms/inflammation are COMPLETELY gone, and then stop, and see if they ever come back again after I finish the oral chelation.
 
I still think it is the effects of the Mercury that is the root cause of MS.
 
OK, as I have been writing and proof reading what I have written it occured to me tha I should start the anti-inflammatories again.  I think I will hit them good until the last bit of inflammation in the currently active lesions is gone, and the numbness in my hands has completely resolved.  If I don't get rid of the inflammation right away, permenant damage might result, and then the numbness in my hands would never go away.  I could live with that if I had to, but it would be so much better to have a complete recovery from this disease if that is possible.
 
OK, I will continue to take 3 caps of the Oral chelation PM formula before bed.
I will take 2 Noni Plus capsules, first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. 
I will drink 1 ounce of Ziwi about 15 minutes after that
An hour later, I will take 3 tabs of the oral chelation AM formula.
During breakfast, I will take 1 Pure Relief, and during dinner I will take 1 Pure Relief.
 
I will report back next week about any changes (or not) that I experience.
