Hi Everyone,

Maybe you've wondered why promising alternative treatments like LDN do not
receive more publicity. A book entitled, "Racketeering in Medicine: Suppressing
Alternatives," explains and exposes the fact that Big Pharma and other special
interest groups are doing everything they can to promote drugs and surgery,
while keeping people in the dark about alternative treatments. For more

With best wishes,

http://www.healthdiaries.com/eatthis/20-health-benefits-of-turmeric.html

Turmeric is one of nature's most powerful healers. The active
ingredient in turmeric is curcumin. Tumeric has been used for over
2500 years in India, where it was most likely first used as a dye.

The medicinal properties of this spice have been slowly revealing
themselves over the centuries. Long known for its anti-inflammatory
properties, recent research has revealed that turmeric is a natural
wonder, proving beneficial in the treatment of many different health
conditions from cancer to Alzheimer's disease.

Here are 20 reasons to add turmeric to your diet:

1. It is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent, useful in
disinfecting cuts and burns.

2. When combined with cauliflower, it has shown to prevent prostate
cancer and stop the growth of existing prostate cancer.

3. Prevented breast cancer from spreading to the lungs in mice.

4. May prevent melanoma and cause existing melanoma cells to commit
suicide.

5. Reduces the risk of childhood leukemia.

6. Is a natural liver detoxifier.

7. May prevent and slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease by
removing amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain.

8. May prevent metastases from occurring in many different forms of
cancer.

9. It is a potent natural anti-inflammatory that works as well as many
anti-inflammatory drugs but without the side effects.

10. Has shown promise in slowing the progression of multiple sclerosis
in mice.

11. Is a natural painkiller and cox-2 inhibitor.

12. May aid in fat metabolism and help in weight management.

13. Has long been used in Chinese medicine as a treatment for depression.

14. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it is a natural
treatment for arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

15. Boosts the effects of chemo drug paclitaxel and reduces its side
effects.

16. Promising studies are underway on the effects of turmeric on
pancreatic cancer.

17. Studies are ongoing in the positive effects of turmeric on
multiple myeloma.

18. Has been shown to stop the growth of new blood vessels in tumors.

19. Speeds up wound healing and assists in remodeling of damaged skin.

20. May help in the treatment of psoriasis and other inflammatory skin
conditions.

Turmeric can be taken in powder or pill form. It is available in pill
form in most health food stores, usually in 250-500mg capsules.

Once you start using turmeric on a regular basis, it's fun to find new
ways to use it in recipes. My favorite way to use it is to add a pinch
of it to egg salad. It adds a nice flavor and gives the egg salad a
rich yellow hue.

Contraindications: Turmeric should not be used by people with
gallstones or bile obstruction. Though turmeric is often used by
pregnant women, it is important to consult with a doctor before doing
so as turmeric can be a uterine stimulant.

Dave,

I have had several people research this for me as well as myself.  We have collectively spent over 20 hours on this particular subject and have yet to find any study other than one published in 1984 on lyme.  There are no other known reports on any disease whether it be MS, ALS, AIDS, MALARIA (one he touts in his books), etc… There are no long term effects known.

 

I personally consider it a dangerous thing, at this point because of : 1.) no credible documentation on what it actually does; 2.) no credible documentation on its use with any of the “listed” diseases it is supposed to help; 3.) no documentation on long term effects; 4.) the minute quantities involved (starting at one drop) that can be easily abused causing some rather nasty reactions.

 

I am not saying not to try it.  I am saying it is not anything I would use at this point or even consider recommending to anyone, no matter how desperate.  

 

If documentation shows up to reverse any of the 4 points above, I would gladly look at it and certainly reevaluate my position.

 

As to the very angry response I received from him, he specifically stated he  was not trying to make a profit on anything.  Amazing considering his website.  Oh well…  That’s what’s called truth in advertising.

 

Regards,

Have not had time to look at it, but from what I am seeing, it looks more like hype than fact.  I really need to spend some serious time at pubmed (www.pubmed.com), but when I put in “chlorine dioxide cancer” as a search string it brought back only 13 studies. The first study published on it lead off with an article that says “We conclude that sodium chlorate caused some thyroid gland neoplasms in male and female rats. The pancreatic islet cell tumors in female mice may have been related to sodium chlorate exposure.”  Sodium chlorate is the result of disinfecting drinking water with chlorine dioxide.  This is not something that I would be particularly eager to do to myself.   

My basic criteria for something safe/effective is to find legit published studies done by reputable scientific groups.  I want a minimum of 30 studies and 80% of those positive.  Again, this is my criteria and it is pretty conservative, but I am not in a rush to dump more chemicals into me that do not have an established track record.  People are all too eager to grasp at unknowns when there are viable avenues to pursue.

I just went back and looked at a couple more.  If you want to use it, go for it but don’t ask my blessing.  All I see is TOXIC and significant cytogenic damage.  That is not something I want to put in anyone’s body, let alone mine.

I was on Copaxone for 8 YEARS and didn't see any improvement. I guess I
didn't progress a lot, but I did progress.  I stopped taking the
Copaxone in April and have not noticed a change.  I don't think it was
doing anything for me.  I started taking LDN on Monday. I have already
noticed an improvement in my walking/balance.  I am only taking 1mg now
and am anxious to get to at least 3 1/2 mg.

Subject: [mscured] Enzymes and your Pancreas


Don't Ignore Your Pancreas

In today's modern world, degenerative diseases are rapidly becoming
"epidemics." Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, hypo and
hyper-thyroid and all the other thyroid diseases, ADD, ADHD, OCD - well,
you get the picture. As an environmental toxicologist, if similar
pandemic events occur in nature, like the Burr Oak plague, the Jack Pine
worm infestation, or the sudden, mysterious disappearance of the Golden
Tree Frog, environmental scientists search until they identify the
culprit, remove it, and then restore the natural environment so it can
begin restoring balance again.

But humans don't think to do this with their own bodies. Modern
consumers are so far off track, primarily because of the chemicals in
our foods and the dependence on medications to mask the symptoms those
chemicals create. The root of disease prevention is becoming historic
fantasy. Return to the basics of cause and effect when diagnosed with a
disease, and see if you can find that cause and, then, eliminate it.

Take the pancreas, for example. A handy little gland/organ, and a darn
vital key to the root of many disease syndromes.

The pancreas produces pancreatic digestive juices and produces insulin
and other hormones critical for proper digestion. Actually, the pancreas
produces the body's most important enzymes created to digest foods and
to break down starch. Every good nutritionist knows that digestion is
one of the most important components to good health. If you are not
digesting efficiently, your body and health will inevitably suffer.

The digestive system breaks up and digests the food we eat. After two or
more hours inside the stomach, partly digested food moves into the
duodenum, the first part of the small intestine right after the stomach.
When the food reaches the duodenum, the pancreas releases its digestive
juices, which flow down the pancreatic duct and mix with the food. The
juices contain enzymes that help break down the food into very small
fragments. These fragments are absorbed into the body through the small
bowel.

The pancreas is quite high up in your abdomen and lies across your body
where your ribs meet at the bottom of your breastbone, just behind your
stomach. It is connected to the small intestine at the duodenum. The
pancreas contains enzyme-producing cells that secrete two hormones,
insulin and glucagon. Insulin and glucagon are secreted directly from
your pancreas into your bloodstream, and together, they regulate the
level of glucose (sugar) in your blood. Insulin lowers your blood sugar
and glucagon slowly increases it if it falls too low. If the insulin
secreting cells do not work properly, diabetes occurs.

Let me repeat that last sentence: If the insulin secreting cells in your
pancreas do not work properly, diabetes occurs. So that means if your
pancreas is not working properly, diabetes, and MS too, can appear as a
result.

So why aren't you encouraged to nourish your pancreas through diet and
digestive enzymes in order to prevent disease? Something as simple as
supplementing with pancreatic enzymes might prevent diabetes, and will
certainly help control many diseases.

So - don't ignore your pancreas!

Pancreatic production of insulin, somatostatin, gastrin, and glucagon
plays an important role in maintaining the sugar and salt balances in
your body. Problems with the production or regulation of these hormones
can manifest into issues with blood sugar and fluid/salt imbalances. The
pancreas also helps neutralize chyme, which helps break down proteins,
fats and starch. Chyme is a thick semi fluid mass of partly digested
food that is passed from the stomach to the duodenum. If the pancreas is
not working properly to neutralize chyme and to break down proteins,
fats and starch, starvation...and diabetes...and MS....may occur.

More than 90% of the total cell mass in your pancreas is responsible for
producing digestive enzymes. The enzymes are secreted into the
intestines to help digest (break down) the food you eat. These enzymes
break apart the proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in your food into much
smaller molecules so the intestines can absorb them more efficiently.

The size of your pancreas is similar to a banana that has been stepped
on; it has a slight curve to it, and it's about the same length, width,
and thickness of a small banana. The pancreatic duct runs through the
middle of your pancreas and shoots the digestive enzymes made in the
pancreatic cells into the duodenum in order to mix with food as it comes
out of your stomach.

Your pancreas is such an important contribution to human health! The
importance of the pancreas and the digestive enzymes it supplies the
body, plus insulin and glucagons, have been disregarded.

So - don't ignore your pancreas!

If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, Type I or II, then pump up
your pancreas to avoid the progression of your diabetes. MS has been
proven in laboratory studies to be a response to high protein levels in
the bloodstream and in the brain. Digestive enzymes produced in your
pancreas can help lower these blood protein levels. Alzheimer's has been
shown in laboratory studies to be a result of high insulin levels in the
brain. Digestive enzymes produced in your pancreas can help lower these
blood/brain levels.

There are three classes of digestive enzymes: proteolytic enzymes needed
to digest protein, lipases needed to digest fat, and amylases needed to
digest carbohydrates.

Proteolytic enzymes are some of the fastest "switching on" and
"switching off" regulatory mechanisms in the physiology of the human
body. These enzymes are involved in a multitude of physiological
reactions from simple digestion of food proteins to highly regulated
cascades, such as the blood-clotting cascade.

Lipase is an enzyme manufactured in the pancreas that is used by the
body to break down dietary fats into an absorbable form.

Amylase is most prominent in pancreatic juices, and breaks starch down
by breaking apart large, insoluble starch molecules into soluble
starches. This typically yields dextrin, maltose or maltotriose after
certain chemical reactions have taken place.

Here is a brief list of the pancreatic endocrine hormones and their
purposes:

Insulin regulates blood glucose (sugar) in the normal range by forcing
your cells to absorb and use glucose normally. Thus, insulin decreases
blood sugar levels.

Glucagon balances insulin by regulating blood glucose (sugar); opposite
of insulin. Glucagon forces the cells to release (and sometimes produce)
glucose, increasing blood sugar levels.

Gastrin assists digestion in the stomach through stimulating the acid
producing cells of the stomach to produce digestive acids. Gastrin is
secreted as a direct response to the amount of food in the stomach and
intestines.

Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) helps control water secretion and
absorption in the intestine. VIP causes the intestinal cells to secrete
water and salts into the intestines.

The endocrine hormones originating in the pancreas play vital roles in
digestion and body function. When the pancreas cannot function properly
due to genetics or a bad diet, /including diet sweeteners/, pancreatic
diseases such as diabetes and MS typically result. So, support your
pancreas by supplementing with digestive enzymes after each meal,
especially a meal high in protein. If you successfully target the root
of your health issues, you may find you can avoid, and at the very least
you can control, diabetes, MS, and other diseases that have their roots
within your pancreas.

Look at it this way: for a smashed banana, your pancreas is a vital
organ you should never take for granted. Never ignore your pancreas and
help your pancreas prevent disease!

Provigil Warning!!!

For all of you that have been prescribed Provigil (modafinil) for MS-
related fatigue: the FDA has issued a warning that Provigil has been
linked to serious skin rashes and psychiatric symptoms.

Instead of me trying to restate these warnings, I give you this,
straight from the FDA letter:

   a.. Skin rashes: "Rare cases of serious or life-threatening rash,
including SJS (Stevens-Johnson Syndrome), Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis
(TEN), and Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS)
have been reported in adults and children in worldwide post-marketing
experience. The reporting rate of TEN and SJS associated with
modafinil use, which is generally accepted to be an underestimate due
to underreporting, exceeds the background incidence rate. Estimates
of the background incidence rate for these serious skin reactions in
the general population range between 1 to 2 cases per million-person
years."

   b.. "Psychiatric adverse experiences (including anxiety, mania,
hallucinations, and suicidalideation) have been reported in patients
treated with modafinil. Caution should be exercised when PROVIGIL is
given to patients with a history of psychosis, depression, or mania.
If psychiatric symptoms develop in association with PROVIGIL
administration, consider discontinuing PROVIGIL."

Bottom line: Contact your doctor if you are on Provigil and concerned
(and IMMEDIATELY contact your doctor if you experience ANY sort of
unusual rash or mood changes while taking Provigil).

My MS Experience
My name is William (Bill) Roberts; I am 57 years old, was diagnosed with
RRMS in 1998, and upgraded to Secondary Progressive in 2002. My chief
symptoms are (were) extreme mixed sleep apnea, COPD, inability to walk,
total deafness in my left ear, and inability to concentrate for any period
of time. I have been treated with Avonex, Copaxone, and Rebif of the ABCR
drugs, chemotherapy (Cytoxan, plasma exchange, as well as many, many
sessions of IV steroids (Solumedrol). As of June, 2005, I was on oxygen
24/7, wheelchair bound, having a flair of my MS on an average of once a
month, and doctors had told me that my breathing difficulties, caused by the
MS, would ultimately result in my demise. I had also ballooned in weight to
289 pounds. Two of the top neurologists in Birmingham consulted and agreed
that, while continuing on Rebif, I should begin taking a week of IV steroids
every three months, regardless of my condition. I did not feel that the
steroids were offering enough positive results any longer, and I did not
want to take any more. I asked if they would mind my getting an alternate
opinion from another neurologist. They agreed.
My new neurologist reran all of the standard MS tests, including MRIs. After
studying the results, she suggested I stay on the Rebif and see what the
next two months showed with regard to flares or episodes, then to probably
go back on chemotherapy. I asked her, at that time, if she would prescribe a
drug LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone), for me. I had read a great deal about it and
talked to a number of MS sufferers who had improved with the use of LDN, a
medication that is FDA approved as a treatment for Heroin addiction and
alcoholism. She said she had never prescribed it but had also read a lot
about it. She agreed to prescribe it.
I began, around the first of July, 2005, with 1.5 Mg per day for the first
week, then increased to 3.0 Mg from then, on. I also stopped taking the
Rebif at that time. While I did not notice any improvement for the first
three months, I also had NO flares either. Then, I began to notice that my
breathing was improving- I could take time off from the oxygen for extended
periods of time; the strength in my legs and arms was improving- I began to
be able to take short walks with a walker, then longer walks, then changed
to a cane, then actually walked to the bathroom without assistance! My sleep
began to improve, as well. Improvement continued and actually increased, so
that when I went for my six month check-up with my neurologist, I did not
even take my cane, and I blew away my neurologist by acing all the tests. I
am now driving again after four years, walking totally without assistance,
and have dropped my weight down to 232 pounds. I hope to get back to my
normal weight of 195 by year's end.  In April, after my wife was diagnosed
as a borderline diabetic, I walked in a “Walk For Diabetes.” I walked just
over 21/2 miles, with no assistance, beginning with the first group out and
finishing with the first group in! I was both pleased and proud to
accomplish something  else I never thought I would be able to do again. Now,
I plan to spend the summer building a fence in our back yard and
re-landscaping  it.
LDN is NOT a cure for MS. I still have it, and I still have issues with it
that I have to deal with everyday, but I attribute my miraculous improvement
to LDN, attitude, faith, and my new neurologist's willingness to prescribe
LDN for me. It is allowing me to do things I never thought I would be able
to do again, and if it were to become an approved treatment for MS it could
not only possibly do the same for others that it has done for me, but it
could also possibly free up millions of dollars that could be used to find
the cause of diseases such as MS. Finding the cause for a disease  brings
researchers MUCH closer to finding a true cure.
Pharmaceutical companies need to be able to make a profit off of the drugs
they develop through their research. The cost of  such research is very
high, and  LDN, a very inexpensive medication, will not produce the profits
those companies need in order to warrant their doing the trials to get it
approved for MS, as well as ALS, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, AIDS, Crohn’s,
many types of cancer, child autism, and even Rheumatoid arthritis. .

This past summer, a friend got rid of her narcolepy-like symptoms by
going gluten free (right before she took on a job as a flight
attendant at age 55).  So I tried it. (I read about it 20 years ago
in Judy Graham's MS books....Duh!...) I'm a Southern girl and rice
has always been my main staple so it was easy giving up pasta and
bread.  I have easily dropped 20 pounds with no cravings (That's
where I think LDN helped).  If I should eat something bad, I feel it
in my hands first.  My symptom I am trying to eliminate is inability
to stay focused...like read a book!  I definitely feel more
empowered.  Also I started with some of the things I learned at
www.earthclinic.com like oil pulling, black strap molasses, coconut
oil,etc. The Gluten stuff makes sense and it is too bad that they
(medical establishment) didn't pay attention to this in the past.
With my gut problems as a kid ('50's), they just said I was
a "nervous child", so now I have a MS dx, osteoporosis overnight,
never had kids,jawbone infection. So folks, pay attention to this.It
is inherited.  One MS friend said that her neuro, upon dx, said "I'm
sending you over for allergy testing".  She said, "I'm not allergic
to anything.  He said, "You are, you just don't know you are".
Thanks, Kiki, for bringing this to the forefront.  Good luck. With
LDN, it should be a "Piece of cake", right??? MAG

Hi Kiki,


I understand your feelings,
but  -
there are lots of gluten free products out now.

You can also make your own.


Have you checked out the SC Diet sites?
If memory serves, I think they have recipes.



www.scdiet.com

www.scdiet.org



Also, Dr. Hoffman had a program  -
I will try and find it for you.

Hi Kiki,

I have been on the MS Recovery Diet for 2 weeks and am seeing my MS triggered by Dairy, sugar, gluten and I can tell w/in 4 hours of ingesting a trigger food.  My spasticity and pain gets so severe I can hardly cope.  So I think that for me, a diet change is an absolute must for my well being and to halt the progression of my MS.

Don't know if this is true, but I think Snopes is reputable...
 

Just in case you weren't aware of this.
Here is a link to the snopes page:
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp

i HAV

PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!

A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee . This virus simply destroys Sector Zero from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are stored.

 
This virus acts in the following manner:

It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the title:

"You've received a Post Card from a Family member".
 
As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so
that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+ del keys or the reset button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus caused panic in New York , according to news broadcast by CNN.

This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself.

So don't open any mails with subject: "A Post Card from ." As soon as you get the mail, delete it !! Even if
you know the sender !!!

Please pass this mail to all of your friends.

Forward this to everyone in your address book. I'm sure most people, like myself, would rather receive this notice 25 times than not at All!!!

Hi Yvette,

A lot of people cannot tolerate MSG.
I can't, and I have an aunt who must avoid it also.

Works on spiders, too.
As a homeschool experiment, my daughter treated a couple ant hills in
our back yard with aspartame. She also laid a trail of the stuff where
we had ants in the house. 36 hours later, no more ants, and a couple of
dead spiders, too. We don't have roaches, but I'd be curious to see
what, if any effect, aspartame had on roaches.

From Larry Frieders R. Ph.:


ASPARTAME (NutraSweet®) IS NOT YOUR FRIEND

It is a toxic chemical that can have serious effects on our nervous
system. I wrote about it on this page. There's a lot to the aspartame
story. It is a very profitable item for the drug company that makes
it. You can find it in just about every kind of food - even in some
so-called health foods. There are many studies that emphasize the
toxic nature of aspartame yet it is still on the market and remains
very popular.
It is sold as a no-calorie sweetener and most of us live with the
belief that using it instead of something like sugar (that contains
calories) will help up loose weight. That isn't true.

Recently I received an email from a friend with links to an
interesting article in The Idaho Observer. It is an interesting story
about how one person has used aspartame to get ride of - kill -
pests, like ants. Here's a quote from the article,

"How does it Work: Aspartame is a neuropoison. It most likely kills
the ants by interfering with their nervous system. It could be
direct, like stopping their heart, or something more subtle like
killing their sense of taste so they can't figure out what is
eatable, or smell, so they can't follow their trails, or mis-identify
their colonies members, so they start fighting each other. Not sure
what causes them to end up dying, just know that for many species of
ants it will kill them quickly and effectively."

Isn't that interesting? Here's a chemical that is in just about every
sweet food product and it is powerful enough to kill ants. Does
anyone really think that it would be ok for humans to ingest? I
don't. Do yourself a health-favor and get aspartame out of your diet.
Watch those labels. Our government insists that manufacturers put
them on all foods for a reason. When you know what you're eating you
will know what to avoid - or at least you'll know why you feel bad
when you've eaten something like aspartame.

06/11/2007 - UK biopharmaceutical firm Apitope has developed a vaccine that could halt multiple sclerosis in its relentless march to destroy nerve cells.

The drug, called ATX-MS-1467, has now been tested in humans for the first time - in six Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS) patients in a Phase I/IIa trial - and the results so far are encouraging. No safety issues have been unearthed and one patient also showed good clinical improvement in their symptoms.

The immune system attacks proteins it sees as dangerous and helps protect us from a myriad of pathogens. Occassionally these attacks can be devastating if it mistakenly sees proteins in our own body as dangerous and sets about destroying them. This autoimmune reaction leads to numerous diseases, such as Type I diabetes.

In the case of MS, the immune system wipes out the myelin sheath around nerve cells - an insulating layer that allows the cells to effectively conduct electrical signals. This causes the nerves to die and the symptoms of MS to appear, including visual problems, weakness, difficulties with balance and speech, severe fatigue, pain, impaired mobility and often disability.

According to the MS International Federation, around 2.5 million people suffer from the incurable, progressive disease.

Current therapies aim to reduce the inflammation around the nerve cells to offset further damage or, alternatively, to suppress the immune system. However, these broad approaches also suffer from significant side-effects such as an increased susceptibility to infections and a greater risk of cancer.

Apitope has taken a different approach with their peptide based vaccine that seeks to retune the immune system so it no longer overreacts to proteins in the myelin sheath. One of these proteins in called myelin basic protein (MBP). This protein is chopped up inside a cell into different peptide strips. Some of these strips or epitopes then bind to a protein called major histocompatability complex (MHC) class II and are carried to the surface of the cell where they are presented to the immune system.

Dr Keith Martin, CEO of Apitope, explained to DrugResearcher.com that if certain danger signals are present, then the MBP peptide epitopes can 'switch on' T cells and cause an inflammatory response that damages the myelin.

However, and this is where the Apitope vaccine comes in, if the epitope is presented to the immune system in the absence of these danger signals, a different subset of T cells are switched on (called regulatory T cells) and instead of causing damage, these can suppress the immune system reaction to the epitope in question and thus make it more 'tolerant' to myelin. They do this through producing interleukin-10 (IL-10), an anti-inflammatory cytokine.

One key part of this is to ensure the vaccine is only injected at sites where there are no danger signals. So, the clinicians doing the trial inject the drug in the periphery of the body and the regulatory T cells produced can then travel to the central nervous system (CNS) and begin to retune the immune system there.

One problem remained however. Not all fragments of MBP are capable of causing the immune system to become tolerant to the protein. For example, the MBP peptide made up of amino acids 89 to 101 can induce an immune response both in terms of priming for T cell reactivity and inducing autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) - the commonly used animal model for MS.

However, the same peptide does not induce tolerance. So which peptides do and which don't? After much research, David Wraith, a Professor of Experimental Pathology at the University of Bristol, found the answer. He discovered that only peptide fragments that are the right size and shape to be presented to the immune system without further processing can go on to induce tolerance. The discovery led to the spin out of the company and also gave it its name and the name of this class of potential drug - Antigen Processing Independent epiTOPES or Apitopes. Prof. Wraith became the chief scientific officer at Apitope.

First, the team use bioinformatics to design peptides that will bind to MHC strongly and, crucially, ones that can also adopt the right shape to bind.

"If the peptide isn't the right shape, then it won't trigger a response," said Martin. "If they are in the right conformation, they won't require processing [and therefore will induce immune system tolerance]."

He added that in the case of MS, Apitope identified five different peptide epitopes that looked like they would work and then proceeded to test them in a number of in vitro assays. After that process, four remained and these are what make up ATX-MS-1467. The advantage to having four is that there are different subtypes of MHC class II molecules and these four can bind to different ones, such that the "vast majority" of MS patients will be theoretically responsive to the drug.

The initial signs are that the vaccine is effective. Given that the myelin sheath also contains other proteins that are thought to induce the immune system to attack, such as myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), and proteolipid protein (PLP), this is perhaps surprising at first. So how does a vaccine based only on MBP peptides also prevent these other proteins from sending the immune system into overdrive? The answer is 'bystander suppression'. The epitopes for a given protein antigen (in this case MBP) can also induce tolerance to other epitopes from the same antigen, and even epitopes from other antigens, such as MOG and PLP.

"Essentially, the activity of the mixture is greater than the sum of its parts," explained Martin.

Indeed, one patient on the trial has shown "remarkable improvement in her eyesight", explained Prof. Wraith.

"Since the optic nerve is acutely sensitive to inflammation and optic neuritis is often one of the first symptoms of MS, this early indication of efficacy is very encouraging. It suggests that treatment with ATX-MS-1467 can suppress the inflammation associated with MS," he continued.

The next step is to continue to monitor the six patients who have completed dosing in the Phase I/IIa trial so that a three month safety follow-up can be conducted. If the drug gets the all clear, Apitope will then continue with a Phase IIb proof-of-concept trial. If that proves successful, the firm will then look to partner the programme with a larger pharma company, although Martin said the company would be willing to partner earlier if the opportunity arose.

Way before this drug makes it anywhere near the market though, Apitope hope to begin generating revenues thanks to a MS diagnostic test they have developed.

Martin said that early diagnosis in MS is crucial as treatments that seek to slow down or halt the progression of the disease are obviously best given before the disease has had the chance to do too much damage. Even with existing treatments, there is evidence to suggest patients would have much better outcomes if they were diagnosed earlier he said.

Unfortunately, the current process of diagnosing the disease can take a while, leaving patients untreated while the disease damages their nerves. Apitope have developed a blood test that can diagnose the disease much more quickly. The test is still undergoing regulatory tests but Martin said that Apitope hopes it will be available to doctors by the end of 2009. The same test also has the potential to be extended as a tool for other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.

Apitope's approach is also applicable to other immune hypersensitivity reactions and the firm has a programme to identify apitopes to prevent Factor VIII inhibitor formation, which can cause haemophilia. Martin said that he is confident the company will gain orphan drug status for this programme from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), although they haven't applied for it yet. This is important as the faster regulatory process for orphan drugs means that, if necessary, Apitope could bring that drug to market without a partner.

Scientists at Apitope are also conducting preclinical tests on Type I diabetes and allergy peptides.

The MS project remains the most advanced however, and it is this research that will make or break Apitope's approach to peptide induced tolerance. A great number of people with autoimmune diseases will be waiting with baited breath.
