The way i look at it is my dmt stop or slows the MS activity in my body so that exercise can then stimulate the body to repair itself, high quality nutrition then gives the body the building blocks to do the repairs and high quality sleep gives my body the chance to do the repairs to my body. After my first year after diagnosis my mri showed a decrease in the size of spinal lesions with no attrify noted.
@@DrBrandonBeaber , we might be strangers to you but you mean so much to us--more than you'd ever know. Your name is like a family member in our household :)
I started my new book called ‘Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis Handbook’, going so well. Nice seeing your name in the contributors page doctor❤ Appreciated all your time and efforts making a change in our lives.
I just wanted to leave a question for Dr. Beaber on the latest video in hopes you will see it:) When will you do a video on Metformin's potential for remylination? In a small study on humans, it significantly reduced lesions and a current trial is pairing it with clemastine. It also has been looked at for autoimmunity in general because it lowers WBC but without the horrific side effects DMTs. There is a very long list of potential benefits from metformin because it mimics the effect of fasting. It has the potential to increase endothelial function, shift the microbiome in a positive direction, increase the odds of surviving cancer, aid weight loss, reverse hair loss, bakance hormones and treat PCOS and infertility, to slow aging, prevent cancer and slow neuro degeneration. This list goes on. Supposedly no one is interested in finding studies needed to get it approved for MS, because it is a very inexpensive drug so there is no money to be made from it. What are the botox injection for? I've been thinking about getting it for TMJ but I've been afraid it might be a bad idea, having MS. Do you have to live in the area to be in a study? There was a mouse study showing that a Prevotella histicola worked as well as Capaxone at treating MS but it is not one that is available in a probiotic. The carnivore diet seems to work very well, probably because it kills of certain groups of bacteria. There are groups of bacteria in healthy people that are considered very beneficial, what is weird is that those bacteria are over abundant in those with MS and they are the bacteria fed by plants. This might be why plants are great for healthy people but seem to be contributing to chronic illness in those who are not healthy. I have read over and over about people with MS feeling better initially on a plant based diet but deteriorating over time. Terry Wahls, my self and so many others with MS, came from a plant based diet so clearly it didn't help. Cholesterol is a really important building block for remylination and animal foods are the most nutrient dense, bio- available foods on the planet and they are full of the nutrients we need the most in MS like B-12, folate other B vitamins, omega 3, choline, vit D3, etc. There are so many things in animal foods that can not be obtained from plants. Do you really think that nature intended for us to eat plants and take an omega 3 supplement and a b12 pill? I don't think so. If you need supplements, your on the wrong diet! Before I started carnivore, I was deficient in zinc, iron, copper, b12, folate, potassium, mag, and vit k. And that was on a healthy whole foods, plant based diet. We wouldn't be here if evolution didn't work out. We evolved eating meat. Early humans died of acute illness and predators, not chronic illness and heart attacks. We need to open our eyes to how bias, weak and flawed nutrition research is and instead look at what makes sense based on what we've always eaten, nutrition density and bio availability and what makes you feel food. Kids In Africa become zinc deficient eating foods high in zinc, because of the antinutrients in plants. Just because a nutrient is there, doesn't mean you will absorb it and antinutrients will rob your body of minerals because they chelate them. Plants don't feed you, they feed your microbes, which is only a good thing if you have more good than bad or if you are actually benefitting from those microbes and studies show those of us with MS are being harmed by them! For anyone thinking about going vegan. Please first watch "why I'm no longer vegan" youtube videos first. We all have the same story and a lot of current vegans lie(we know this because they fess up in the end) because their agenda is ethical, not health. And if you want to educate your self on why eating meat is the best thing you can do for the planet, not the worst, read How Cows Save the Planet.. Try 30 days of carnivore and you will never want to go back. Go to meat RX to read anecdotes. I don't need crumy nutrition "science" to tell me what reverses MS. I'm not going to stop a diet that cured me just because science hasn't proven it works or because epidemiology(epidemiology is the weakest form of science and is an actual joke for those who don't know) says meat is bad. I can't denie what has happened right in front of my eyes. You have nothing to lose but your suffering.
I appreciated your lengthy reply and there aren't enough ppl asking about metformin/clemastine. Also, you're one of the few ppl I've seen commenting on Prevotella histicola. I was so interested in this I was even considering growing it myself although getting a starter culture and the right growing environment seemed impossible in my home...then comes the chore of having my daughter (the one with MS in the family) take it. It's a struggle to get her to even take D3, let alone anything else. I even made her double-extraction mushroom tinctures with glycerine (lion's mane, reishi, turkey tail, etc) because she didn't like the alcohol ones. Doesn't take those ones, either. Sigh. I guess when you've only had optic neuritis and a lesion or two but still feel fine, there isn't enough motivation to hit this hard from the get-go.
Great interview - I saw a study "Lipoic acid in secondary progressive MS " that saw roughly a 70% drop in brain atrophy when taking 1200mg alpha lipoic acid. Perhaps this should also be a daily supplement but perhaps 600-900 mg to ensure individuals can take it long term. Funnily enough it is also an anti oxidant similar to tecfidera...
Thank you both for doing this video! Very informative I have RMS and they found an eight ball size brain tumor on my cerebellum (Brain surgery nov2021) and I started Kesimpta and this is great to learn about Ty!
13:59 so if clemestine was thought to increase activation of olygodendrocytes via acetylcholine, was it found 'noneffective' because you can simply increase choline intake for the same effect? "supplemented cholesterol directly supports oligodendrocyte precursor proliferation and differentiation, and restores the balance of growth factors, creating a permissive environment for repair. This leads to attenuated axon damage, enhanced remyelination" Dietary cholesterol promotes repair of demyelinated lesions in the adult brain, 2017. 19:29 'it's also innate immune system', 't cell mediated', 'b cells are to blame', 'it's an autoimmune/antibody disease'.... let's just agree the reason for MS demyelination is chronic brain inflammation, not an aberrant immune system. I really feel this is like the cancer treatment arena, where people just are hellbent on removing that damn cancer tissue without asking why it's there. In ms people are fighting against the immune system, with a thousand different methods. Bad immune system. Nobody is looking beyond that, it's like everyone has a license now to attack the immune system in some clever way, because that's somehow going to fix things because if you can make the immune system just not work but at the same time still work it'll work. 36:52 vitamin d protects because it strengthens the immune system. Typical apparent paradox people can't cope with. It's a weakened immune system that led to the disease (neurocysticercosis), but now they blame the immune system for being too strong. Like the short gain long pain paradox (drugs cause acute symptom improvement but worsen the disease long term). End rant.
Very good! Even encouraging! Even for an older PPMS sufferer like me! Disclaimer - STUDIES about NUTRITION and VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS? There's no money in broccoli. 🥦 😆
I am doing a fourth round of lemtrada due to some old lesions flaring up. Specifically my right hand having serious numbness and one finger now several times a day (ring finger specifically) pulling into a trigger finger spasm which need to pop back. Question: Are the physical therapy exercises, or anything that can help increased numbness and the hand spasms? Thank you in advance!
I reckon it's Infrared light..... It's important and stimulates Mitochondrial health....er not Uva you can get these spectrum s via Invisible sun led shop or your local led specialist......( Opinion from reading) . Great show . Thanks
We are more grateful than words can say, thanks Dr. Beaber. btw have you had patients with PPMS undergo HSCT? If so, has there been good success with this subgroup? Were they coming off of Ocrevus or similar B cell depletors before the HSCT?
4 years now, I wish I would better brain ! Florida pool pump motor repair guy. approved ! that was good info 2 know /see👨🔧Dr.Brandon Beaber.... he can have my brain, to find out what's wrong.I had these problems when I was a kid. if you need a guinea pig? I'm yours!!!

Hi✌
Thanks for setting it up. I think it came out very well, and we covered a lot of ground.
In my humble opinion DR. B is the best he is not afraid to think out of the box to help his patients. Thanks DR B I this was a Great episode !!
Thanks for the kind words Robert.

About the Epstein's Barr virus, my sister got a SOT treatment for it, she spent alot of money on it, have you heard of it and what is your take on it?
I am how he answers.

Awesome
What do you think about using HSCT for 11 years old boy with MS ? Is it approved?
Best thing that you can do...drugs stop
working at some point.
