MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS MS. B
START DATE: 12/27/99, but was only taking 1 tablet twice per day. 1/17/00: Has been sick twice with viruses since started taking the supplements. "These infections would have killed me 6 weeks ago" - she would have had to go on 2 weeks of steroids. Now, instead, she is walking around, has energy and did not miss any work. Balance is about the same - but - when she is sick balance is first to go, even with bladder infection, so at this point she should be much worse. Nothing else is changed - but again, it would normally be much worse. Flexibility improving. Leg cramps almost gone. Walking more. No pain in body - this is new. Sleeping better. Advised to start taking 3 tablets at bedtime. 1-28-00: "Amazed, feel so much better, can't believe it, can't wait to take it 2 more months to see what happens." Believes that once she returns to work out and lifting "results will be phenomenal." Balance better, losing fear of falling, walking more with cane, using wheel chair less. Flexibility much better. Very happy. 2-8-00: Stopped taking the supplements over the weekend. Began to feel weak and fatigued. Balance was getting bad, she thought she was having an exacerbation. Advised to restart the supplements. 2-25-00: Taking four tablets at bedtime. Recommended goiong totwice daily dosing instead - 3 at bedtime and 3 upon awakening. She is more independent now, driving more, driving to work and walking from parking deck to office. Lost 5 pounds with no particular effort.

She cleaned the entire house over the weekend. was tired, but was able to do it.
