I have always heard Aspartame causes MS. I heard it harms the nerves in lab tests. If someone has MS they probably should stop drinking diet drinks and stay away from Aspartame. I am interested in your thoughts.

Also I think an important note to make is aspartame and MSG.. both products appear to damage the brain and i have read studies where they have lead to misdiagnosis of neurological troubles.. like lupis and MS.. but avoiding brain tumors, holes in the bbb and effects of excitotoxins just sounds like a good idea

My sister (8 yrs) and I (2 yrs) are both on Copaxone, I don't believe that anyone should stop taking prescribed Medications. I do believe that they can find supplements that do help with Fatigue/Weakness/Restless leg syndrome. I don't think early trauma causes MS. My sister and I believe it is inherited, just a vulnerable genetic make up.

My sister was diagnosed in 2003 and I in 2010 we are both on Copaxone and we both live fairly normal lives. The only time she had a relapse was when she was sick of taking injections so she stopped. She lost full use of the left side of her body for 1 week. She quickly restarted and has been good since.

I'm on Copaxone, too, and I beg to differ with Dr. Mercola, but this immunomodulator is not "toxic and dangerous." It has stopped the progression of my symptoms in its tracks, as did the MS drug I took previously, Avonex. It's always true that our mileage may vary with these medications, but in my own case, I credit them with impressive, dramatic results. He's absolutely right-on, though, where vitamin D is concerned; its lack is a proven contributor toward MS susceptibility.

all ailments have an emotional component ; it is not outrageous to suppose that an emotional injury sustained at a very young age can greatly contribute to an autoimmune disorder;especially since statistical evidence backs this up.

[youlance29]

childhood emotional injury = MS in adults??

BS!!!

[nightbladered]

As someone who has been on Copaxone for MS since 2002 with great results and very few side effect, I think people with MS should be careful before stopping medications. Also, I have never heard about an "emotional injury" prior to age 5 leading to MS. Remember just because it is on the web does not make it true. Eating raw meat and eggs will lead to other health problems.

Thank you for your suggestions! I am taking the 50.000 units of Vitamin D and I am very careful with my diet. Many are the things that I try to do to try to get better! My MS is a very active one, so it's important to do many things to try to slow it down!

Thank you for helping!

Hugs,

Angela
