Hi Everybody,

I'll get straight to the point.

I have some muscle atrophy due to my Multiple Sclerosis and it
is affecting my walking and writing on my right side. So I
want to strengthen my muscles, ligaments, and tendons.

What do you guys recommend as far as hormone or other therapies?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks. - Chris

Ellis: {Hello Chris,

Here we go again: I'm going to have doctors jumping down
my neck again, but you are not going to find a solution
for multiple sclerosis with doctors... so you might as
well listen to me, since I might be crazy, but at least
there is method to my madness.

I will tell you what I would do if I were you:

I would try Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy + EPO... and I
would take 2 iu or perhaps 3 iu of injectible growth
hormone... + a shot of testosterone every week for 10
weeks... + 1/2 pill of Arimidex twice per week for 10
weeks while I take testosterone... + I would check my
blood glucose and I would keep it close to 85 mg/dl by
hook or by crook, which means Lantus in the morning and
Lantus at night, and Humalog before meals, and perhaps
Humalog after meals, if blood glucose is ever 100 mg/dl
or higher.

Using insulin is not for everybody, but "according to
Ellis" it is for many more than those who doctors say
it is. Study my pages:

http://www.rajeun.net/glucose.html
and
http://www.rajeun.net/usinginsulin.html
and
http://www.rajeun.net/usinglantus.html

(I would probably not use insulin unless I could
consult with somebody like ME, by telephone...
Insulin is like a gun: if you don't know how to use
it correctly, you shouldn't use it at all... but if you
know how to use it correctly, it can save your life.)

And I would take injectible Vitamin B-12.

In any case, I would have NOTHING TO LOSE by TRYING, and
at the very least I would feel better.

I would take a blood test and see what is my hematocrit
and hemoglobin. I would ask a doctor to prescribe EPO,
and I would take enough EPO to get my hematocrit up to
at least 45%, perhaps better to 50%...

(note: MY HEMATOCRIT IN FACT IS about 55% and has been
between 52% and 55% for about 7 years, with zero side
effects, and I think, many benefits.)

Then, I would take perhaps 30 sessions of hyperbaric
oxygen therapy, at 1.0 + 1.5 atmosphere pressure for one
hour. There are some people saying that 1.0 + .3 or .5
atmospheres pressure would also give benefits... but I
don't know if it would or if it would not... but something
is probably better than nothing.

See the videos on this website, so that you will
understand why I believe that Hyperbaric Oxygen
Therapy is fantastic to help the NERVOUS SYSTEM...
and if Hyperbaric Oxygen which raises oxygen for a
few hours is fantastic, then there is a very good
chance that EPO which raises red blood cells which
raises oxygen circulating in your body for 24 hours
a day is probably also beneficial.

(see videos #1 and #2)

I would also take 2 or 3 iu of growth hormone, + 1 cc.
of testosterone, + as much insulin as necessary at the
right moment to keep my blood glucose levels close to
85 mg/dl.

Read my page: http://www.rajeun.net/sarcopenia.html

Loss of muscle is due to loss of neurons, so concentrate
your attention on not losing the nervous system, and not
directly on the muscular system.

And of course: you have to eat VERY LOW CARB, and of
course you should also do physical exercises and physical
therapy... but always remember that everything you are
doing is directed first at not losing neurons, and
secondarily to recuperating and restoring muscles.

Good luck, and please let us know how you come along, and
let us know if this helps you, or if it doesn't. - Ellis}
