This is one of the most astonishing videos that I have ever seen. Please consider sharing this through your networks.

Via: TEDxTalks / YouTube:

Dr. Terry Wahls learned how to properly fuel her body. Using the lessons she learned at the subcellular level, she used diet to cure her MS and get out of her wheelchair.

Hello Kevin,

I have a father in law with mild symptoms of MS. We began giving him a 2gram dose of Psilocybe Galindoi Sclerotia (often known as “Philosophers Stones”) every three days. An hour after his first dose, his normal symptoms had completely vanished. He experienced a dramatic shift in his daily life from his new found physical freedoms.

On the onset of the third day, his symptoms begain to slowely re-emerge, and he again took another 2gram dose of fresh P. Galindoi sclerotia.. with the same results. He then set up a 3 day routine with this medication. Besides the alleviation of his MS symptoms, he also noticed extreme mobility changes from severe war injuries suffered in the Vietnam War. His normal 4 hour wake up routine to unstiffen and move completely vanished and left him feeling 20 years younger.

Psilocybe Galindoi Sclerotia contains the psychoactive substance Psilocin, which is a Schedule 1 drug in the US as well as being illegal in almost all parts of the world.. its a pity.. a 2grm fresh dose of sclerotia is not enough to produce a psychedelic event, but more of a heightened sense of awareness, vision and energy.. it plugs brain receptors responsible for serotonin uptake and creates a very euphoric happy feeling…. it has an extremely low risk of abuse, excretes from the body in 8 hours after ingestion, and has an extreme tolerance build up, after 3 days of taking low doses, the euphoric feelings subside while the medicative value continues.

It can be easily grown and concealed, information can be easily obtained on the internet for production of this amazing fruitbody. One reference site for information: http:www.shroomery.org

I wanted to pass this on in hopes it might help.

Sorry to use this format to pass this on, would much rather have posted to the article and saved you any trouble for your time…

thanks for your site, and attitude towards dissemination of information.

Hi Kevin,

Here is a link for the case for N-acetyl glucosamine. It is available over the counter at health food stores and is non toxic as far as I know.

Hi Kevin,

This is regarding your family member who (I am assuming) was recently diagnosed with MS. A few years ago, I suffered an attack of Guillain Barre’ Syndrome (GBS), which is an auto-immune disease affecting the peripheral nervous system. (GBS is very similar to MS, save that MS affects the central rather than peripheral nervous system.) After a great deal of research–which essentially parallels research into MS, I ran across Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). This peculiar drug, which has essentially no noticeable side effects, can actually stop the progression of MS (as well as a large array of other Immune-mediated diseases) almost immediately. The reason none of us have ever heard about it is simply money: It is dirt cheap to produce, and the patent has long ago been transferred to the generic market. Not only does Big Pharma have no interests in it, they have a powerful reason to suppress any information or large-scale studies done about it (it could sideline all their patented, expensive, toxic immune-suppressing “therapies” ). I have been using LDN daily for over a year, and it has made a world of difference in my recovery. Here are some resources for you:

1) The LDN Organization (which is not in any way associated with profiting from LDN) has a website; here is it’s very brief summary regarding LDN and MS.

2) I have attached a Word Document to this e-mail which is based on the information provided on the LDN org’s website, but which is more appropriate for giving to a physician–a sort of “handout”. (The LDN site has tons of information, but is not at all “printer-friendly”; this word document is simply a careful “cut & paste” synopsis of what you will find on that website.)

3) I have quite a few alternative healthy videos on my Youtube Channel (look in “Playlists” under “Health”); included among these is the following:

a) A Local News Piece on LDN and MS.

b) England’s Dr. Chris Steele on LDN.

c) A Brief on the Mechanics of LDN.

4) In addition to LDN, look carefully into the research involving vitamin D3 and MS. Here is an excellent documentary from UC San Diego’s School of Medicine on Vitamin D3, which will involve MS. (as a supplement, here is the daily dosage size you would want to consider–it’s also a very good brand.)

5) Another alternative treatment to consider is Calcium EAP (Calcium 2-Amino Ethyl Phosphate). Here is an article based on Dr. Hans Napier’s research/treatment program using Ca-EAP, which is evidently still used in Germany. You should, however, know that Napier used an injected solution as part of his protocol, rather than oral capsules. (I was not able to determine what actual dosage he used, but I’m sure such information exists–certainly via German resources.)

6) Medical Cannabis is also another potentially effective (and harmless) treatment option. Here is the best documentary on Medical Cannabis I’ve encountered.

7). Besides Calcium-EAP and Vitamin D, among the many supplements to consider, I would strongly recommend starting daily use of a B-12 sublingual (use either methylcobolamin or adenosylcobolamin–the latter is also known as “dibencozide”). Here is the brand and type I use (and I have experimented with many). Finally, one should also begin using a good source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, which–along with B-12–plays an essential role in rebuilding damaged myelin, as well as actually reducing the inflammatory pathways within the immune system. Something like this would provide that, as well as a complete balance among the various fatty acids, all of which play a role in autoimmunity.

I am sorry to hear the reason you need this information; but understand: Everything I’ve mentioned above will, at worst, do no harm; yet all of it (particularly combined) can have dramatic effects on both stopping future attacks, as well as healing (to some degree) the effected myelin sheath.

The best to you and yours,

C

I knew I remembered reading this. Most interesting to me is geographic distribution of MS – a distinct north-south gradient. Basically the closer to the Equator you are, the less likely you are to get it. Fascinating to me, perhaps to you as well.

Hi Kevin,

Re your reader with a family case of MS. They may already know about the work Ian Gawler’s Foundation is doing in Melbourne with not just cancer, but MS as well. It’s an integrative approach and all my dealings with them over the years leaves me with a very high regard for what they do. Here’s the link:

I hope it helps.

Cheers,

Kevin,

I came down with all the classic symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis 23 years ago while I was in grad school. Fortunately about six months later I came across a book called Better Health through Natural Healing by Ross Trattler. Main thing he advised was to go on a gluten free diet. Took several months of trying out the diet to determine that it was helping. My symptoms since then have stopped getting worse. I still have some mild double vision plus some weakness in my left leg, but that’s the same as it was 23 years ago. The diet is rather strict, but it’s been worth it. Luckily there are more gluten-free products available today than back in the 80s and 90s. One thing about MS is that it mainly occurs in countries where the population eats lots of gluten. People who eat little or no gluten have little or no incidence of MS.
Best wishes to your relative.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your great site. I try to make purchases on Amazon via your site, so some small bit goes to you.

The reader with MS may consider contacting Robert Ginsburg. He is a healer trainer by physicist/healer Nicolai Levashov. Levashov’s method is based a very different model of reality (a number of his books and articles are translated into English, by the way). Levashov has done incredible things, that were documented by US MDs Barbara Koopman and Richard Blasband, like heal incurable infant brain cancer and cause a boy, born with no testicles, to grow them.

I don’t know if Robert has worked with people with MS, but he has had successes on a wide range of conditions which standard medicine can’t touch, i.e. Meniere’s Disease, atrial fibrillation, gastrointestinal disorders, etc… He lives in Oxford, UK, and works with folks all over the planet.

Also, his initial consultation is free so there’s no cost to contact him. His website is:
http://robertginsburg.com/index.html

My wife and I have worked with Robert over the years for various conditions/issues…

No need to respond. I hope the reader finds some treatment modality which helps them.

Best wishes,
S

Kevin – ever since coming back to germany i have met people with ms, two of which chose to work with me. both women, both in their late fourties/early fifties. the first has just had her 3. annual checkup where the neurologist told her to not worry and that she did not need to see him. the second woman, friend of the first, also had her neurologist, different guy, tell her that he didn’t need to see her for another year.

i trained in and use the practices of core-energetics. but any reichian work should do. look into it as from what i read in the survivor stories is that every last one had some kind of energetic awakening (hard to know what an awakening is unless one had been asleepening). folks will go right from having the energy back to mystification, but doing work with core-/pathwork- uhh.. methods, seems to keep it real ..

kevin there is a gentleman by the name of Leo Kolivakis who used to post on zerohedge.com. he suffers from ms also. during his posting on zerohedge he talked about a treatment with surgery. the treatment is called “the liberation treatment”. i know Leo posted about having the surgery done. Leo Kolivakis is in the financial business and have his own blogspot dalled “the pension pulse”. his email is lkolivakis@gmail.com. he has also talked about going gluten free and vitamin “D” in drop form. you can google the above info including leo’s name and ms on the same line.
in exchange, do you know anything about the aussie research into diabetes, where they were injecting good pancreatic cells into diabetics and kick starting the production of insulin in the diabetic. it has been about eight years since i read anything about that here in the U.S.
i hope that leo’s info is helpful….i don’t know anyone with ms but found his information informative!
thank you

This is the story of a young Italian man who has been having some excellent results by following a procedure in which he eliminates all metals from his body with a method that his doctors do not think is correct. He points out that a lot of the therapy he had been doing with these generally excellent hospitals were making him worse, because some of the MR s and the therapies and the analyses were filling him up with other kinds of metals.
I believe the method he uses for eliminating the metals is used in the US and is called “EDTA chelation therapy”.
Unfortunately I have not found info in English on the site, and translating it would take a long time. However, I could probably try to translate a few lines or paragraphs if necessary.

The young man, Matteo Dall’Osso, can be contacted here: matteodallosso@gmail.com.

It sounds plausible, hopeful and positive to me. His story is certainly worth reading:

Anyways, what I wanted to say, was that I recall hearing Kevin Trudeau talk about excitotoxins (especially aspartame) being the culprit. So I would suggest that the person eliminate all excitotoxins from their diet.
Here’s a link I just found on the topic:

Anyways, I hope this is helpful.
Keep up the good work!

A Cryptogon reader has a family member who has multiple sclerosis. If you know of any alternative therapies that are worth investigating, please leave a comment or email me. You don’t have to search the Internet and report your results. The person has been dealing with this for a long time. However, if you have personal experience with something that has helped, there’s a Cryptogon reader out there who could really use that information.

    my 0.02: don’t overlook the conventional (non-pharmaceutical) – Physical therapy is very important in managing MS.

  2. mangrove says:

    I’m interested in hearing about alternative therapies too, since I recently found out that a friend was diagnosed with this as well.

  3. Windhorse says:

    As a medical physician, I feel we must always rule out mercury and other toxic heavu metals in any neurological condition. Correct testing procedures are available at http://www.Mercout.com.

  4. quintanus says:

    I have a friend and a neighbor who have been affected (in unsunny Seattle), and I don’t think they’ve identified a magic cure for remission, but one of them isn’t progressing very rapidly when using vitamin D. It’s interesting that several autoimmune diseases (ms, type 1 diabetes, crohn’s) seem to be so correlated with low-light areas, yet vitamin D does not clearly reverse the condition.
    I’m a bit interested in potential effects of high iron levels on some people with MS (there would have to be a genetic basis, if this exists).

    While researching this topic a couple of years ago for a friend with MS I found the following site to be very interesting:

    Bikram yoga has helped relieve symptoms for many MS patients. I do not have ms but have been practicing this yoga for ten years.

    Fasting and wise use of sunshine will go a long way to restoring the nervous system

    No personal experience with this but found it intriguing.

    “In an age where physicians don’t use nutrition as a first line of defense, Dr. Terry Wahls is a true pioneer. In “Minding My Mitochondria” our society’s downward spiral into poor health is concisely explained. The understanding of the science behind the mitochondria is written in clear language that even a novice like me can understand. She also explains the nutrient involved that our bodies need to keep us healthy and why relying on just supplements instead of incorporating a healthy diet is never enough. Dr. Wahls provides vegetarian and non-vegetarian recipes that are delicious. She also emphasizes the importance of exercise. I have had Multiple Sclerosis for 35 years and Dr. Wahls has given me a handle on my disease. Anyone who is concerned with their health, whether or not they have a chronic disease, should read this book. Dr. Wahls has given me something that my doctors can not…hope….Lydia Rawlings”
