Besides prescription drugs, what has worked for you? As in lifestyle changes, diet, exercise, herbs, vitamins, etc. Please be specific, and say which symptoms have been helped.

Thanks!

I follow the Dr Swank diet and that helps a lot in MANY ways. I also take magnesium to help with muscle spasms. Most importantly look up something called Low Dose Naltrexone on the internet. it was a BIG help to me and I still take it. Start it ASAP.

Well, for me…I start having symptoms if I am not healthy. so to make them go away, I start to sleep earlier…sleep a lot longer…naps help. Eat WAYYY healthier…sushi is a big one for me I love it.

And significantly reduce your stress! Stress throws all of these things off…automatically if you're stressed, you don't sleep good, you don't eat right…

If I am too stressed…I take sleep medication, because rest is very important when it comes to M.S. And of course, exercise, preferably way from heat. such as swimming, or exercising indoors.

Oh yes, and fish oil supplements help a lot too, it reduces nerve swelling a little.

my husband has mild MS, his symptoms include tingling sensations in his hands and arms and a feeling of lightness in his body.

He started taking Ginko Bilboa and Ginseng as well as keeping active by going to the gym regularly, this has dramatically improved his symptoms and he leads a totally normal life

Can anyone remember life before Ask your Doctor ads on TV?

All you knew about prescription drugs were creepy ads in a JAMA at the doctor’s office with a lot of fine print. even if you knew the name of a drug, you’d never ask your doctor for it because that would be self-diagnosing and cheeky for a patient.

Flash forward to the late 1990s when direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug advertising, drug Web sites and online drug sales came on board, and self-diagnosing and demanding pills has become medicine-as-usual for many doctors and patients.

I thought I was fine by Martha Rosenberg

The DTC/Web perfect storm didn’t just sell drugs like Claritin, Prozac and the Purple Pill, it sold the diseases to go with them like seasonal allergies, GERD and depression. It sold risk of diseases like heart events for which you’d take a statin like Lipitor, osteoporosis for which you’d take a bone drug like Boniva and asthma attacks for which you’d use a second asthma drug like Advair. of course, by the very definition of prevention, you didn’t know if the drugs were working but you weren’t paying out of pocket anyway so what the hay”

Thanks to DTC advertising, people started taking seizure drugs like Topamax and Lyrica for everyday pain or headaches and antipsychotics — hello? — for everyday blues or mood problems. they started taking monoclonal antibodies made from genetically engineered hamster cells like Humira that invite cancer, superinfections and TB when they didn’t have to. And FDA mandated risk disclosures — brain bleeds, sudden death, difficulty breathing, stomach bleeding, liver failure, kidney failure, muscle breakdown, fainting, hallucinations   — perversely sold the drugs more either because ad frequency itself sells or because people like the identity in having a disease, like chemically experimenting on themselves or like taking a dare.

Soon anxiety graduated to depression which graduated to bipolar disorder. Children got schizophrenia and depression like adults and adults got ADHD like kids. And it didn’t stop there. If the depression you or your kid had didn’t go away — maybe because it wasn’t depression in the first place but a thing called “life” — you needed to add a drug like Abilify or Seroquel on to the original drug(s) because your depression was “treatment resistant.”

Of course if people were paying for the drugs out of their pocket and you told them to add a drug that costs almost $500 a month because the first one isn’t working, they would say the only thing “treatment resistant” is your s ales pitch — go find another sucker. but if third party payers get stuck with the bill, no one seems to mind pharma’s double-(and triple)-its-money plan — or even notice it.

In fact psychiatric drug cocktails of eight, ten and twelve drugs are now common medical practice for “treatment resistant” depression and PTSD (often paid by government entitlement health plans) even though the drugs have never been tested when taken together. Unless you count the patients taking them now!

Pharma also adds an urgency pitch to the sell in case you think you can wait to take you or your child’s treatment resistant drug cocktail until symptoms worsen. Depression is now a “progressive” disease say pharma-paid doctors after being known for decades as a self-limiting disease. (The one good thing you could say about depression; it would go away.)

And don’t think kids will outgrow mood problems either, says pharma. that erratic behavior is no doubt early mental illness that will become Worse if you’d don’t treat it in the bud. even mothers of one-year-olds with the sniffles are told serious asthma is just around the corner if   they don’t treat their toddler now.

Pharma is also having a field day with sleep because everyone is in the demographic. In fact comedian Chris Rock riffs about hearing a DTC ad that asks, “Do you fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning?” and recognizing himself. “Yeah, I got THAT,” he says.”

Not falling asleep soon enough of course is the disease of insomnia which can have “strains” like   “middle-of-the-night” and “terminal” insomnia. but it also sets you up for — what’s the pharma euphemism —   wakefulness problems the next day. And once you’re using a wakefulness aid like Adderall or Nuvigil, what do you bet you’ll have sleep problems?

Because of pharma-paid doctors, PR firms and industry subsidized medical journals and Web sites like WebMD, pharma is able to create new diseases (osteopenia, the “risk” of osteoporosis), perimenopause and low T), “humanize” others by giving them nicknames (ED, RA, RLS, Hep C) and elevate others to public health problems like HPV/venereal warts. (It doesn’t hurt that Julie Gerberding, MD, former CDC head resurfaced as head of Merck vaccines after she left the government.)

But a more insidious sell are pharma subsidized “patient groups” that lobby FDA and state agencies about expensive drugs, often psychiatric. while these “patients” — often flown by pharma to testify at FDA hearings — pretend they can’t get needed drugs like terminal cancer patients, the issue is seldom availability but money : either they want a new use covered by insurers or don’t want an older, cheaper drug substituted.

The same patients appear on Web site testimonials and phony grassroots PSAs (public service messages) about the epidemic of depression or childhood mental illness. how can you tell they’re not real patients but pharma plants? the Web sites and PSAs look exactly like direct-to-consumer ads. END

Are you one who is living with asthma, so hopefully it will last forever? so you’re looking for a way to get either under control or eliminate them all together really? well, I have good news for you, you do not have asthma for the rest of your life. If you want, it then also know that inhalers are prescription drugs and you manage your symptoms but will not help to eliminate.

Inhalers are designed to open the airway, so you breathe better. what happens if the effects are worn or your attack is not completely removed by your medications? They are forced, most of the drug is dangerous to take, because larger amounts can harm you more than help.

Have you ever asked this question, I want my asthma is controlled or eliminated? what was your response? If you want to control it, and then you keep your prescription medications and inhalers, with its long-term side effects. Or you can to something natural, can help you eliminate all watch together. I think you’re looking for something to be overcome to help you, you’re right?

First, we want to try the important contribution of asthma to understand the causes. in our view, it is anticipated that the pollution is. Since the medical field, he has not ruled out, although it has been suggested that environmental toxins are a major cause of asthma attacks.

Since we are talking of contaminants on the environment, I would like to tell a story of my 6 year old son who was diagnosed with asthma at age 4 was. in the age of 2 to 3, we have been seeing a doctor for him. He seemed cold and all diseases that have rallied to catch. He was young and is in preschool with many children, he would bring home what they have shared with him. The children share many things in school, it was horrible, it always sick. we spent more time in the doctor’s office that we have at home, at least it is perceived.

Then we discovered this method and it was literally only take a few days, and he was completely free of asthma. no more prescription drugs are no more inhalers, nebulizer treatments and no longer the best part of all this history, we have not had to take him to the doctor for illness in 2 years is crazy !

So I’m here to tell you it is very possible to fly this life to eliminate the disease. all we did was to eliminate toxins and environmental pollutants on the body of my son every day and what happened is truly a miracle! with this amazing discovery; we change so many lives, the hope, the people a life free of their asthma and learning that can run and play without the aid of an inhaler.

Living life fully is what we all love, and if you all are, then you’re in the right place. Learn more about how your life in a very short time with something that does only one thing can be changed, it removes the cause of 90% of all health challenges we face today.
