What Happens After Low Dose Naltrexone?
LDN appears to have halted my MS disease progression.
This has given me a chance to finally make
progress on repair and recovery after years of damage, both from MS and
the drugs that were supposed to treat it. Below are
some of the things I've employed in recovering my body, or that have
substantive research on effectiveness.
Physical Therapies for MS
My personal experience has been that physical therapy is
essential for recovering lost functionality by restoring muscle strength & nerve conductivity. Make
sure to ask if your therapist has experience with MS, and if
you get private 1 on 1 sessions. I have also found
CranioSacral & Feldenkrais therapy effective for neuro-rehab,
balance and walking.

Research on Supplements & Antioxidants

Antioxidant
PEMF Technology
PEMF energy counters free radicals, and has been studied
in MS. I also used this to restore the 10 point drop in my heart
function after damage from Novantrone,
and it is great for MS pain management w/o drugs. I use the EMpulse,
a handheld inexpensive device, more info at
