New Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis

Although stem cell therapy is not approved in the US, if I had he money, I would have left for my treatment already. It is my understanding no fetuses were compromised for this medical process.

The following is taken from the Medra.com website - Click on the link for additional info. Hope it helps someone!

A medical procedure whereby Human Fetal Stem Cells are transplanted into a Multiple Sclerosis patient. These cellular building blocks are usually administered intravenously and subcutaneously (under the skin). It is a painless procedure, which takes place in approximately one hour, and has no negative side effects.

The Fetal Stem Cell searches out, detects and then attempts to repair any damage or deficiency discovered in the Multiple Sclerosis patient , as well as releases growth factors, which stimulate the body's own repair mechanisms.

HEALTHCARE REFORM - PETITION OF SUPPORT

Recently, I wrote about health care reform. It is one of the hot button political issues that we all can relate to. Many people we know have lost jobs and in turn lost their insurance. While others who are employed are under insured and a great majority don't have access because it is not employer provided and an unaffordable necessity. The health care issue has never been so close to being changed since reform became an issue nearly 50 years ago.

Today, I became aware of someone I care about dying from brain cancer on Friday.  She was only 46 and was diagnosed in July. We may be healthy today, God only knows what tomorrow may bring with this toxic environment we live in. (That's a longer story for another day.) As a chronically ill person, this issue is one I am passionate about. Although I have insurance, there were periods when I didn't have coverage in the past. I understand needing and not having.

Please take a few minutes and fill out the online petition of support and let the Washingtonian wheelers and dealers know that you care too.

KNOWING YOUR SEASON!

---

It is a BLESSING to know when your SEASONS of LIFE have come - ESPECIALLY THE GOOD ONES. This is a wonderfully profound season for me as GOD has given me CLARITY to move forward with a more determined spirit once again.  When we KNOW GOD, we are in tune with the direction granted as the pathways for OUR  SEASONS unfold. There may still be obstacles to weave through, but know this, when YOUR SEASON has arrived GOD informs you with CLARITY! 


Ecclesiastes 1-22 encompasses all the trials of life and CONFIRMS THE BLESSINGS when we steady the course as directed. It is important to read all the verses to be fully impacted by the depth of it's meaning.


 1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? 22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

This blessing was inspired upon my heart too share with whomever reads and understands THE TRUTH OF GOD'S BLESSINGS TO ALL!

Multiple Sclrosis Clinical Trials

For anyone who is interested in participating in clinical trials for Multiple Sclerosis, you can research some of the latest and ongoing ones at http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=multiple+sclerosis

LDN - LOW DOSE NALTREXONE and MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

LDN -Low Dose Naltrexone is a drug that has become a very contentious issue for patients diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis who are desperate and come up against a brick wall with their neurologist. Many doctors are reluctant upgrade their medical expertise by at least doing the research on LDN as an alternative to the massively expensive FDA approved drugs. The reality is that there is no financial incentive for pharmaceutical companies to spend money on clinical trials to determine LDN's efficacy.  It is a drug which the patent has run out on therefore removing the incentive of profit  for the drug companies.  Normally the life of a patent is 20 years, and then it becomes a product that is fair play in the open market that can be produced at very low costs. Hence, along comes the "generic" drug, a drastically cheaper version of  brand name pharmaceuticals that were cost prohibitive for many to pay out of pocket.

This authors personal experience led me to sever my relationship with my neurologist of 12  years, who I was thoroughly satisfied with until I brought Low Dose Naltrexone to her attention. She had never of it. I furnished her with all the information she would need to make a decision or investigate further and give guidance on whether she thought it may or may not help me. Having given her more than ample time to review the information based on her stated time frame I was forced to make a decision. She told me to give her a few weeks - about two. I afforded her six weeks while I did  further research and while desperately seeking to find a doctor in New Jersey who supported the use of  LDN. Four weeks went by, I kept praying while looking for a neurologist.

I always encourage anyone who I speak with who is dissatisfied  with the level of care they're receiving or lack thereof they have the power to seek and seize that which is so desperately needed.

The BIBLE states "SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND". I sought, I found, and now after almost three years with my wonderful newly found doctor I am overjoyed. He is a well versed progressive doctor who does not subscribe to business as usual. He is true to the Hippocratic Oath he took upon stepping into his chosen profession. When you've come to that fork in the road where a decision must be made, you feel it a matter of life and possibly death, but there is an opportunity for beautiful change and triumph to envelop your life. You see simple BIBLICAL truths that are guides to place in our mind and heart, and then to live a life of purpose, hope an sharing.

This is the official  website that has been spearheading the commendable efforts to promote LOW DOSE NALTREXONE as a viable option not only for Multiple Sclerosis but Cancer, Parkinsons, Crohns and so many other diseases. The other link is a doctor who has used LDN with promising results for his patients. It is so unfortunate that people with chronic life altering illnesses have viable alternatives that are cheap and safe but not promoted by the health care industry. Maybe now with the discussions of health reform, costs and availability of easier access to information, the veils of deceit are rapidly leading to an order not controlled by wealth and greed but empowered by "WE THE PEOPLE."  BE WELL AND GOD BLESS!
