Oh my god Selma’s speech has improved SO much! And she looks radiant!
It sure has! Thank goodness ! Bless her and all MS sufferers .
Looks like she is really taking her therapy seriously. It’s inspiring to see someone sick so happy about life and trying their hardest.
She does look just beautiful!
Beautiful girl she is I see she has great spirits and the will to be heal I know she has strength and her faith am so proud of her and love her very much.❤️
Totally right.
Her speech improved a lot and she is slaying those heels.
Yes.
She definitely improved her speech!
She's so beautiful.
She has a different type of beauty .
I was diagnosed with als last January
I’m about the same age as Selma and have liked her for years
She makes me feel stronger
I AM embarrassed about my diagnosis and what it’s doing to me
I am in a power chair now because walking is very difficult
I am home bound because it’s simply too hard to go out
Unless my husband or son can dismantle and pack my chair into the truck how can I go anywhere? Even to get into the truck is daunting .. and getting out
I fall often, my hand is crippled, I can’t do my hair or nails, and the list goes on and on
Also I’m told it will also get worse and then will surely kill me in a short time
Seeing Selma face what she’s facing so openly gives me courage to be a bit more open and less embarrassed about this whole thing
It never helps when people say
‘You shouldn’t be embarrassed !!’ So please don’t say it
I KNOW I shouldn’t be, but I am
Selma is helping that though
God bless her and all of us
@@jennrallee1557 Awww I am truly sorry for what you are going through, being embarrassed is natural especially if you were a person who was very active.
@@jennrallee1557 I used a collapsible step stool to get into my husband's truck. In fact I have a step in order to get into bed it's much easier for me. My husband has to watch me and sometimes he has to place my legs into the bed because they are to weak. Amazon has a great trailer that isn't to expense that works for my mobility scooter I can easily lower the ramp and get the scooter onto the trailer. I don't want you to be embarrassed or home bond because of MS. But sometimes we can't control how we feel. I hope you don't allow your disease to limit your life. There are tricks to everything. It's like a puzzle figuring out how to enjoy your life with MS. But I have had it for over 17 years so I'm not sitting around my house being sad for 17 years. I go out into the world I flew to Las Vegas. I took my scooter right out to the door of the airplane then used my collapsible cane to get into the plane. I use a shuttle service with a wheel chair lift to get to the hotel. I had an awesome time. I go to concerts and the beach. Please don't let this disease rule your life. I I use wigs instead of coloring and styling my hair. Everyday I do a new hairstyle it's fun and much easier. I joined some groups on facebook to learn about it. My hubby put in a makeup station with a chair so I can do my makeup and brush my teeth sitting down .I use a shower stool because I can't stand for long periods to shower. We also have disabled handles in the shower to get in and out. My hubby put in a kitchen station so I can cook and bake which is something I love. I do pottery classes with my friend. I make quilts with my quilt group. My life is not ended because of this disease. It does suck to have to relay on my hubby for some much. I'm really lucky to have his support. I did see a therapist when my disease progressed and took my legs. I was grieving my old body and what it could do. I was in denial, angry, sad but now I'm in acceptance. I try not to look at what I can't do but what I can still do. It's way more then you realize. I hope you can move forward and get there to. I know you can do it I have faith. BTW canes suck get a nice walker with a seat that way you always have a place to sit when your legs get weak. Also your supported on all side. I don't fall with the walker.
I also have MS but didn't qualify for the treatment. In a twist of fate, I ended up with leukemia and ended up with the treatment (as a cancer patient) and then some. I miraculously survived both the treatment and the leukemia and my MS has stopped progressing. it will soon be two years that I am in remission from BOTH! It's just hitting me now how big of a miracle it is after hearing them describe the treatment ( and that's without having leukemia). If you have MS and this is an option for you then grab it. Hopefully someday they will take it off of experimental status because they have been doing it for so very long now and it works
UPDATE: I'm still on the planet and this Friday (Dec 3, 2021) is my 4 year remission anniversary. Yay! Don't give up!
Lori L God bless you.
Congratulations!! Keep on thriving!!!!
What DMT did you have ?
💜💙♥️ I am glad you are now OK *HUGS*
@@HerHomeschoolHomestead - thanks ☺
I teared up when she said her dream was to lay next to her son every night...and that it didn't bother her about her hair. I love you for speaking out Selma, stay strong!
Shes AMAZING
Yes Angie same here I also teared up as I have now been suffering with MS now for 24 years but luckily I found a great neurologist who put me on the correct drug which is gylenya and is keeping me relapse free, it brings me so much joy & happiness when I see my now 21 year old daughter laugh & smile that's all I live for is to see her happy & healthy (✌️peace ✌️)
Selma is amazing. Her positivity is incredible. She’s a beautiful person inside and out.
CW B indeed, she is everything you wrote.
Isn't she an antivaxxer?
She is such an inspiration! I have never seen her as strong as she is now, but then: she maybe never had to be? Regardless, she has always been strong!! Keep fighting the good fight, Selma...we love you.
Indeed she is in every way possible prayers for a full recovery.❤️🙏🏻
She walked in with a hot pink suit bald head and heels with a debilitating disease... if that’s not confidence I don’t know what is... BRAVO Selma you are one strong, classy broad. 😍 👌
Wow. Just wow. The fact that she dragged her leg into her doctor and he didn't order an MRI. Unreal. She is a hero. Blessings to her.
I went to see my dr once and he said there was nothing wrong with me. I saw someone else and turns out I have an autoimmune disease. I now have damage in my wrists and knees.
That's how majority of doctors are. They don't care.
Oh gosh, I spent 6 years going to my doctor so often with pain, horrendous stomach issues, urinary issues they told me there was nothing wrong and to find another practice. So I did. Turns out I have an autoimmune disorder called ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel issues and a completely screwed up bladder. Gotta love the NHS. Now I'm concerned I may be diagnosed with MS. I absolutely love Selma, she is a beacon of light
She’s an actress
Yeah well she gets every treatment that most people don't so it's not really THAT sad. Most people with M.S. have it sooooo much worse and either can't afford or don't qualify for treatments that actually work. A few years after diagnosis they end up bed bound and without bladder control or worse. So if you want to feel appalled about people suffering from M.S. it's not Selma Blair's story you should be looking to.
Selma is a beautiful person inside and out! She is amazing. She is helping a lot of people with MS!
Selma's speech has improved so much!!!
Vileplume 48 cannibus
She had stem cell treatment
Vileplume 48 why was her speech weird?
@@lovesanimalshatesrats6339 When she first talked about M S her speech was really bad, very staccato like, symptom of ms
Proud of her she will make a full recovery she isn’t losing hope she has faith and strength.🙏🏻
She looks better now than when she gave the first interview after being diagnosed with MS. I hope everything goes well for her.
That's how MS works with some people, it's not always a steady decline. My brother, unfortunately, just continually became worse over his lifetime until his death. Some of his contemporaries had periods when the disease plateaued for, in some cases, years.
@@ThePereubu1710 my condolences
@@ThePereubu1710 My deep condolences...
Yes, the same with my sister. She was diagnosed at 25, in a wheelchair by 28; and now a quadriplegic In a nursing home at 52. It affects people very differently.
@@diannebrett4074 Sorry to hear that...
She is such a warrior woman.
She's a brave soul to embrace what she has to share with other people.
Annaliza thankful that she did! I’m good with her using her celebrity platform to help triumph over this disease. My moms sister passed with MS and we have a dear friend who also has MS. Thank you Selma!
She’s a warrior no doubt.
Her speech has improved so much💙💙💙
I worked at a restaurant in Los Angeles years ago and Selma came in with her son, when he was young. They were at my table and she was the kindest, most humble person. Even though I didn't tell her my name, she must have read it on the bill because when she left the restaurant, she said goodbye and addressed me by name. I hope things turn out okay for her.
She's actually speaking a lot better! So glad for her
I didn't know she was dealing with this. All the best to Selma Blair and everyone struggling with a disease.
She is so brave
Such a classy lady that has become “an icon and hero for so many!”
I really hope she gets better and better every day.
in After 1 and 2 he seemed to be fine, though.
Please answer me. I would like to know more.
This is a real role model for women. And people in general.
I pray you'll know your grandchildren, Selma. 🌹
Iv liked Selma Blair for so long and seeing how she’s handled herself through this makes me have even more respect for her
She is so positive - beautiful soul - beautiful person
She’s a brave beautiful person not many people would be public with their disease
Ms is such an unpredictable desease. It effects everyone so differently. It progresses differently in each person . It also hits in flares an stages . Some days are good , some days are bad. I've had the unfortunatcy of watching my mother progress with this horrible desease. What's sad is alot of people don't qualify for the same treatments as Blair , or don't have access to money to afford experimental treatments etc. An this desease does get to be medication resistant. It's alot of of switching meds , adjusting mgs, adding different cocktails of meds, trying to find the right combo to keep you mobile can be almost exhausting. My mom's had this for 15 years now an it never gets easier. It's so hard to watch her have days where she's so uncoordinated she cannot tie her shoelaces. I have the upmost respect an sympathy for anyone with this illness. I cannot imagine having to accept a loss of control over the one thing we're all suppose to have ultimate control over...our bodies.
As a hsct vet for MS let me just say- they VASTLY underrepresented how amazing this procedure is. This is a CURE. I have beeen in remission off meds for years. Of course she doesn't feel better right after, she just had chemo. They would never expect a cancer patient to bounce right back. HSCT NEEDS MORE COVERAGE and I wish they would have let her talk about it longer.
Alexa Silvers I am so interested in this procedure!! I was diagnosed last year, It has gotten so bad the last 1-3 years, at 30 I now have a handicap placard, have autonomic dysfunction because of my MS. I have 5 children and so many goals! I don’t want to have to give up and live under the weight of these terrible medications.
@@ToLoveIsToLive89 I had HSCT at Clinica Ruiz in Mexico. It was a life changing experience in many ways, not just physically, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has MS. They say the sooner you have it done, the better. I had MS for 18 years before having it done. I still have residual symptoms that will probably never go away, but my life has improved when I would still be going downhill if I had not done it. facebook.com/groups/mexicohsct/
Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but big Pharma is keeping it as "research study." Those of us with Ms now how expensive the meds are- 40 grand and more a year per person. I wouldn't have qualified for Chicago's treatment but instead ended up with leukemia. It's miraculous that I survived the treatment AND leukemia. My MS has been in remission too. I just realized my two year anniversary is coming up and I have been off of all meds and no changes in my MRIS or symptoms. I hope this gives hope to others out there
Alexa Silvers how many years
@@Lori_L where did you get the treatment
She is such a strong young lady.
god bless her..
She's 46 years young !! Can you believe it?Not that 47 is old, but she looks amazing !
Her speech has dramatically improved! Good for her, she's fierce.
Hashimoto's for 8 years and had to find the diagnoses myself. The medical profession in the United states has a huge problem and insurance is at the root. I didn't have insurance and multiple doctors didn't even offer me diagnoses tools because they thought I couldn't or wouldn't afford it. It's sickening that doctors are waiting for thyroids to die before they medicate... but more so that they actually believe that the only thing to do it medicate. I've been managing my disease on my own for 2 years and seeing positive progress.
Hashimoto is nothing ,it's very mild disease compared to MS
What are you doing for your Hashimoto, I am curious about?
“We go to the same hairdresser”❤️😢✊🏻what a woman!
Chaz Dean?
But why did she lose her hair? She has MS ...
Miami SWL Radio she had a stem cell transplant
@@StRuMzNdRuMz I see. I didn't know hair loss was a by-product of that. Thanks
Miami SWL Radio it’s not, they give you chemo to deplete your own cells and suppress your immune system with the hope that you body will not reject the transplanted cells and turn on the diseased cells that are naturally yours.
My neighbor has MS and can hardly walk straight ... she's wearing heels .... good balance!
Well money helps (in America) but also MS is not a disease that hits people exactly the same person to person. So she might have had therapy but the neighbour might be ‘further’ into the disease...
Selma is doing amazing, but everyone will be affected very differently. I have a family member who had rapid progression into a wheelchair, with the full range of disabilities, in a short space of time. He has Primary Progressive (PPMS), rather than Relapsing-Remitting type (RRMS) Everyone will be different. Prayers and best wishes to your neighbour 🌹
She seems better than one year ago.
@maciej wrotek It's just shaved, the hair are still there. She had chemo
She does seem much better, her speech does. It looks like she’s done HSCT. A friend of mine went to Mexico and had HSCT done for her MS, it’s experimental but it’s been shown to stop MS from progressing! Any symptoms she already has will stick with her, but yes I also do see, or hear an improvement with Selma’s speech!
She has always had the ability to “act” and live normally but it takes more energy out of her to control her voice and muscles. She’s stated that in previous interviews and sometimes she says she can do it better and has more energy other times she doesn’t have it in her.
So you can never tell, I really hope she is getting better and improves she’s one of my most favorite actresses. I watch the sweetest thing and legally blonde multiple times a year. She has a gift for comedy.
There are drugs that help her to be better.like Michael J Fox when he acts in a tv show.
@@flyhigh8714 why chemo?
She is a totally beautiful woman...
I’m almost four years post HSCT and feel great!! Stronger than I ever was before MS. 💪💪
Bravo!
“I see so many people get isolated in these chronic diseases”
Truth! The isolation can sometimes be as bad or worse than the actual illness. Being sick has been lonely work. Working on changing that.
Omg. Never truer words said... Chronic pain will never be understood by the 'isolators'.. Of this world.
Often when you get sick you don't want to be out and about, but alone and lonely is not helpful or kind.
So true! I dont have MS but I do have chronic leukemia & lymphoma; RA and autoimmune phenomena. I closed myself off. Have zero social life and leave the house only when absolutely necessary
It’s a very lonely time ♥️
No energy to get dressed, go out and socialize. Even having people over is exhausting and people get tired of my not being able to do anything so everyone disappears.
She’s such a boss! I love her
She was and still is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen I hope and pray for her such a talent
I too have MS and understand fully the devastation of this disease. I am praying for your recovery and I thank you for your courage in opening your personal life fully. You are helping expand MS awareness exponentially. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🧡🧡🧡
She's still gorgeous even bald!
Did she ever say why she cut all of her hair off
I think she's EXTRA gorgeous bald!
My cousin whogot diagnosed said that the medicine they give for it can cause hair loss
@@brotherrick241 The MS treatments, the hair can often thin or completely fall out .
She had chemo in order to have the transplant. Chemo= hair loss
I’m looking forward to my HSCT and thank you Selma for giving me hope that my neurologist wasn’t all mighty and I could advocate for myself! Stay strong MS warrior!! I can’t wait for Puebla January 6th
Good luck! Trust the process!!
Hope it is life-changing in all positive ways like it was for many of us!
Joe Sagirah Lyoness Where are you getting your treatment?
HSCT is not “the most aggressive and almost barbaric “ treatment !!! It’s the complete opposite of that ! It gave me my life back after losing hope of walking again in my 20’s , i’m 3year + post HSCT and i’m 32 and thankfully my MS is halted and i still see improvements till this day !
I agree I had HSCT 2018 in Moscow. I wouldn't call it barbaric at all. The worst part was getting a catheter in your neck, chemo was only 5 days so I only felt ill on the last day. Other than that is was a very pleasant month in the clinic.
ivonna.tinkle I had HSCT in Moscow as well , i had it in March 2016, i agree the neck catheter was traumatizing but it was all worth it in the end ... I wish you all the best in your recovery journey :)
I remember when the media was saying she was on drugs and she lost the custody of her son, I wonder if anyone had apologised to her now that we know she wasn't on drugs but has a ms. I wish her health and happiness❤
Wow I didn't know that. That is so awful!!
I know. But she's strong.
For sure, it got reversed. I expect she needed help raising her son.
she was on drugs and drinking heavily though. she just also had ms.
@@marijones5661 I think she was sick didn't know what was happening to her and she self medicated. But the early onset of the disease was making her look like she was out of control.
I admire Selma’s courage so much, she is so amazing!! I was shocked when I found out that she had MS.I hope things get better for her.
My mom was finally diagnosed with MS a few years ago after a looooong process of visiting a slew of doctors and having different procedures (that possibly made things worse). Since the start she'd brought up the possibility of it being MS but the doctors kept telling her that it couldn't be that. Had she gotten the diagnosis sooner, she might've been able to slow down the progress of the disease earlier and she might be in a better condition today. It pisses me off to this day because things could have been different had the doctors just *listened* to her.
I just needed to rant about that. Selma is such a strong woman and I admire the sense of humor she has about the whole thing :)
Duskripper I am with you! Selma had classic symptoms. A typical patient will present with strange neurological symptoms like numbness in one area, maybe vision issues, weakness in another area, etc. The reason I say “strange” is that symptoms do not make sense if you are trying to find a single lesion causing them. That’s what should absolutely clue you in that there are MULTIPLE lesions. All the cables that start in the brain that are covered with myelin are called “white matter”. MS causes the myelin, which is responsible for speeding up messages down the nerves, to degenerate so messages don’t arrive appropriately to their destination. And because myelin is everywhere, no two patients will have the same symptoms. I think this is an extremely easy diagnosis to make, (at least a demyelinating disease dx.), and I’m only an ER doc. So you feel free to complain. I’m sorry for your mom. Never, ever stick with a doctor because you “like” them. Always keep going after the answer even if it takes a bunch of office visits with different “specialists”.
Kelli Barnhouse I hate to hear what you’ve been through and many times MS cannot be confirmed by the usual tests, and that is why it can take time to diagnose it. But it does sound like all the right tests were performed. Have you sought other opinions and had an MRI repeated? Other diagnoses should also be entertained.
Kelli Barnhouse I would definitely see another neurologist because it’s unclear what your diagnosis is. A doc at a free clinic really cannot accurately diagnose MS. I would hate for you to think you have it and undergo treatment that could be detrimental if you have something else. As far as any dr worried about saving the hospital money, that never happens cause their finances are separate. I would gather all your records and start fresh.
Kelli Barnhouse I agree. The neurologist was terrible, and that’s why I want you to see a really good one. When you said free clinic, you sound like it may have been associated with a hospital with access to testing. The free clinic I volunteered at was like an urgent care place and we really didn’t diagnose complicated neurological conditions on our own, but referred patients to specialists. That’s why I questioned the clinic doc.
Kelli Barnhouse Ive been in practice for 40 years lol
Wow huge improvements already great job selma!!!! Killing it. My wife had the same treatment. I'm glad u got it done.
so courageous and the way she talks about it... its like she can articulates so well what I have difficulty coomuncating to people around me about my illness. it is very isolating indeed.. Selma is an inspiration
So, watching this physically beautiful, funny and talented actress for all these years, and not knowing that she is more beautiful, down to her very soul and core than is imaginable.💕
I hope a cure is found, since there are thousands suffering not just Selma.
try millions.
There is a cure. Look up Dr Lorraine Day and eat an organic plant based diet and stay away from vaccines and medicine that destroy your immune system.
Lauren Emory yes!! My fiends dad also has MS and he almost gave up. But then he switched his ‘normal’ diet to a plant based diet and drank celeryjuice every morning. He is now working again and feeling so much better. He got his life back thanks to good healthy food 🍌🍎🥬🍋🥒🥔🍊🍠🍉🍍🥑. LET FOOD BE THY MEDICINE🙌🏻
The Wahls protocol has helped many! Developed by an MD who had access to all the latest meds etc...and still wasn’t doing very well, the MS kept progressing. She decided to take things in her own hands and do a radical nutritional approach. She went from wheel chair to riding her bike again!
So inspirational. Many people can have the info, but refuse to believe it...or only believe in meds.
So it’s not as easy as having an answer...but in getting society to shift and see that modern medicine isn’t everything!
And I’m a medical professional, I’ve seen modern medicine save lives in cases of emergency and trauma..but in many other realms it’s missing the mark or causing farther harm. Hence my desire to go from hospital medicine to a functional medicine clinic...to help prevent patients from ending up in the hospital! The patients who would come to me, aren’t this kind who just ask for a pill and don’t take responsibility for their own wellness (unfortunately that is encouraged in our society 😢)...but instead the patients who are willing and motivated, sick of being dismissed by other health care practitioners and want to get at the root cause (s).
Autoimmune diseases all need gluten removal (since its effects on the GI tract stimulate inflammation etc) and gut healing for starters... then go from there.
Low dose naltrexone can help too, it’s a generic drug...rarely talked about. Used to be given to HIV patients. And is being shown to improve those with MS, and other autoimmune conditions, due to its immune modulating effects. Low side effect profile. Only compounding pharmacies make it and it’s not a huge $$maker...many docs are super uneducated about it, yet will prescribe way more potent and toxic drugs :(
LDN should only be used in conjunction with a person willing to do the other work. As no med should be relied upon, by itself...nor is it as effective if diet etc aren’t attended to.
Some say that behind MS is the epstein bar virus...
Made to
Survive
I have MS yet still fighting.
Stay strong Selma.
Sending you love and strength.
@@Alphacentauri819 thanks. Gonna check her treatment.
@K R thank you so much
@@CharlotteWebb1952 thanks :)
I am sorry for asking if it bothers but what is MS?
just saying, the stigma or fear of hypochondrism probably prevents lots of cures and diagnoses and treatment..and selma looks ten times better than me on my best day
Selma has an incredible force inside her that helps her go through so many difficulties. I truly hope she gets better and better and that we will find cure for MS. Good luck Selma!
I am another MS patient who has had HSCT heading towards 6 years ago in Russia with Prof Denis Fedorenko. If not for my local GP /PCP who as I walked out of her office said "Go home and research stem cells" & I did just that, I quickly moved from just stem cells on their own to HSCT and booked a place internationally to undertake it. In my own country I was not sick enough & too old to get accepted on a trial, so I never started DMDs which scared the beegeezars out of me. I felt that 4 days of chemo "that had better odds of halting it) was a better choice for me than the rest of my life on a DMD that might slow it down. While I have had other health issues I firmly feel my MS is still in remission. PRMS EDSS4 and 58 yrs old at the time of HSCT.
Thank you for your comments, I am of similar MS, age and EDSS to you and I'm intending to get my HSCT treatment done in 4 months... Good luck and I hope your improved health continues
My mom passed from complications due to MS when I was 23. My firstborn was 5 weeks. My mom was the most active vivacious independent woman who became 100% dependent on others. I was changing her diapers and emptying catheter bags by age 16. It’s such a devastating disease that is rarely caught quickly. My mom donated her body to MS research and I pray a cure is found.
Im so sorry!!! 😥😥 did they discover anything??
Some say it s the epstein bar virus and all kind of critters inside, not the body attacking itself..
Simina Cristian I was never contacted about what exactly they used her for. They actually never even told me when they finally cremated her. I had to do research and find her. It was insane.
@@sarahmoore1430 wow. I am sorry. Think of the beautiful memories you had with her not the physical body.
Sarah Moore wow Saran. That’s effed up. Goes to show how many people don’t know what they are doing.
Regarding them not contacting you, etc.
Bless her heart. I pray the good Lord watches over her and she can beat this disease. I pray for her and her family. So sad
The same good Lord that I was brought up to worship that let my Mother die a long, grueling death? God is a f-cking fictional character.
@@bradyb8003 Don't let bitterness overtake you, baby. It will eat you up. Trust me. I know personally. I'm sorry to hear about your mom sweetheart. I hope you feel more at peace.
@@iidentifyasayoutubertoday7025 Both my parents died from aggressive forms of lung and breast cancer. And both required large doses of pain killers to help with the horrible pain. For me I didn't believe in any gods before they were diagnosed so going into the worst of it I wasn't bitter at zeus/yahweh/allah any more than I was bitter at batman. However if I found out their doctor actually had the skill and ability to easily cure both of my parents but refused to do so for some silly or even an unknown reason that the doctor refused to reveal I would be bitter towards him. I think any ethical human being would shy away from such a doctor and many would surely sue him into poverty if it could be proven he could help but didn't. If I harbor any bitterness its probably reserved mostly for the insurance companies and fighting them to cover certain treatments. That fight only added unnecessary stress to the whole matter all because they needed maximize their profits for their shareholders.
WOW I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE IS UNTIL I SEEN THIS AND SHE HAS NO HAIR - BEAUTIFUL
As someone with chronic disease and looking into MS as a possibility now because of Selma, thank you you’re a HERO to me!
💪🏽Selma I, too, have MS and I am inspired by your openness. Godspeed!
When did you start noticing a difference in your body? Did you too start feeling like you had pinched nerves?
Her speech seems so much better than her last nbc interview, she’s just so beautiful 💙
Selma has helped me so much in my own fight with MS. I appreciate her so much for sharing what her life is really like with it.
How is this my first time hearing about her illness? Prayers to her.
I like her and love her since the 90’s.
Wow....what a strong and beautiful lady. Prayers for her recovery.
Her voice is back. Love her so much ❤
Selma has beautiful, confident eyes. Shes a amazing Woman.
I had HSCT with Dr. Burt in 2o15. I'm still in remission. Still have past symptoms though. But so grateful. HSCT works. The sooner you get it the better. Keep hanging in there Selma and other MSers. ❤️❤️😘😘
Selma you have the most beautiful bald head ever! Good luck to you in your journey! You are so brave!
She's such a beautiful positive woman and so strong. Most people don't wanna keep going and enjoy life and she seems to be.Amazing woman.💗
Dear Lord God we lift up prayers and love for Selma.
There is an autoimmune epidemic going on. MS, RA, Crohn’s and 100+ others. It is worse than the cancer epidemic, because we don’t know what causes it, we don’t know how to prevent it, we don’t have treatments that work long term and we don’t have a cure. We can’t even diagnose it in a timely fashion. We need to start working it out. #autoimmuneepidemic #findacure
It's all bad, let's not compare. Currently experiencing bad malnutrition and all kinds of issues, myself and my son have lowered immune systems and my other son is in remission from leukemia still fighting.
I would agree and disagree, yes autoimmune diseases and chronic infections are an epidemic but my husband and I do believe we do know what causes many of them and there are plenty of other doctors out there that have a pretty good idea as well. The problem lies with our current medical paradigm, lack of advancements in medicine and outdated science. My husband had MS, myself Crohn's Colitis, my father-in-law Leukemia and my mother-in-law an autoimmune disease by the name of Sjogrens and if you were to see all of us today, you would never know it! But it wasn't always this way and just as short as 6-7 years ago, my husband was going blind, passing out, experiencing extreme nerve pain, memory loss and issues with his legs. He was told that he would be in a wheelchair in less than 2 years and like I said, that was almost 6-7 years ago and he is now completely fine, we all are and none of us did any conventional medicine. All of it was classified as alternative but I don't like that term for it either because what we did was more what I call electromedicine, along with eating right, eliminating our exposure to toxic blue light, nnEMF's, taking supplements, herbs and drinking something called structured water. However, some may see some improvements with deuterium depleted water as well.
They say they have no idea what causes any of these disease but I'll tell you what I think it is and why I think some are seeing some results with chemo because chemo kills things! It doesn't reset your immune system, it kills things! Therefore, in all of my experience what I have noticed is that every disease can be connected back to some type of infection or environmental toxin. It also has to do with what we are doing with our modern-day technology. We are destroying our bodies ability to ward off infections, nnEMF and Blue Light distorts our circadian biology, disconnects us from the earth's resonance and also causes our blood to go into a rouleaux formation and probably increases our deuterium levels which slows down our mitochondria leaving it unable to produce ATP which is needed for our immune systems to function correctly and fight off infection.
However, with all the constant bombardment of EMF's and blue light our bodies are no longer able to do this, so our immune system suffers. Our bodies reactive all of our retroviruses which is what most of our DNA is made up of, we then become susceptible to picking up other infections both bacterial and parasitic, add in some heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides and toxic dead water and your body becomes a cesspool of infections that slowly eats you alive!
So after discovering all this, my husband and I decided to start getting tested for every infection under the sun and we did end up discovering that we were both also struggling with Lyme Disease and my husband also had about 200 other infections. My in-laws later got tested as well and realized they had a ton of bacterial and parasitic infections as well. So what did we all do, we started treating the infections, while reducing all the garbage in our life that could cause inflammation and destroy our immunes systems ability to repair. It wasn't easy and it took us years but I am proud to announce that all four of us are completely happy and healthy today and we DID NOT have to do any conventional medicine.
Hence the reason why we started our own TH-cam channel and website to share our experience in hopes of helping other people who are willing to commit a good portion of their time and lives to regaining their optimal health. If anyone is interested here is our information:

and I just wrote this blog post today if anyone is interested in learning a little more about how our technology is making us sick:

I only wish more people were aware of this. All the best to all of you and to the beautiful Selma.
Sending you all love! ❤️❤️❤️
when my MS was at its worst a few years back, my speech was nearly like hers in this interview. it felt like having a huge lump in the throat and tongue.
Holy crap , my 38yo wife has these symptoms , but was treated for a stroke , but stroke team then said it’s not one so just go home ! She isn’t diagnosed but it’s all pointing one way.
Vision is no good , speech comes and goes , legs feels heavy , drs don’t give a shiit.
@J L I'm so sorry about your wife. Plz if Drs don't listen demand tests be run. If that doesn't work go to different Dr. Don't ever let 1 or 2 Drs stop you. Yeah there are really crappy Drs out there that refuse to listen to their patients. It's absolutely ridiculous bc those Drs don't care & they are just around for their paychecks! I've learned around where I live that I have much better luck with Nurse Practitioners than freaking Drs. They listen better & they can also order tests at a hospital & also send you to a specialist just like a Dr can. I hope you can find help for your wife & I hope y'all both stay strong. Don't give up.
Ha! Dr.oz got a face Lift! But in his Show he Talks about Natural aging😂😂👌
Some of the problem with chronic illness is doctors first thought is oh it's in your head your a hypochondriac... so it takes so long to get diagnosed because you have to convince your doctor your not just crazy
This is such a problem, particularly women, and even more so with minority women.
Because part of the symptoms are confusion, forgetfulness, and you KNOW something physical is causing it? People have been diagnosed with Alzheimers when they actually had a urinary tract infection without the symptoms of a UTI.
Yes I've been given antidepressants and told stress and anxiety was the cause of my pain and severe fatigue and positive ANAfor 12 years now. Still no diagnosis or treatment when people like Selma speak out people take note!
She’s so pure of heart she just wants to encourage others
One thing I like about Selma is she has pure talent.
It's nice to see an actress in Hollywood who just is a great actress.
She had been great in everything shes in.
She is up there with Kathy Bates, Angelina Jolie, and the late Brittany Murphy in terms of talent.
This is so inspiring. I think people always think I'm drink too. Cause my MS, I'm always droopy eyed tired, I stumble, & can't walk straight.
Keep fighting Selma!! 👏🏿I'm fighting hard myself against MS. I commend her still wearing heels. Hopefully my balance can get better that I can wear heels again. 😐👌🏾
Selma is a fighter! Love and health to her. Keep fighting!!
What an amazing woman! Stay strong Selma. She looks 30 instead of 47. Absolutely beautiful! Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
This makes me so grateful for the NHS and I feel sympathy for anyone that doesn't have access to healthcare. Even some one like Selma could not get the correct treatment and diagnosis for years. I feel so lucky in a way that when I experienced sight loss due to optic neuritis I went to the hospital and was referred for an mri and to see a neurologist within weeks. Hopefully as i was able to start medication early my ms symptoms can be minimized and I have hope for the future medical advances that will be made.
Her speech has improved sooo much
I’m in tears 😭 this beautiful angel 😇 was my crush till this day
She’s starting to sound a little better. It’s still a long road for her and many others going through MS but I pray we continue to find new treatments for MS and other diseases.
I love this woman. Her strength is such an inspiration.
Wow she’s made a lot of progress
Never envy anyone - you never know what they are going through. I wish Selma the best.
She's amazing ❤️ God bless her..she looks good
My doctors told me for years that nothing was wrong with me. Even after my spinal tap that showed 21 oglioclonal bands and Elevated white blood cells in my csf. Even after my first parietal lesion. They told me that it was in my head. Turns out I had MS and I was finally diagnosed in my twenties last year. And like Selma I was relieved when I found out. I was happy to know what it was.
Sue those doctors
I understand what Selma said about being relieved upon getting the MS diagnosis. I was diagnosed with MS in 2013 and I'm doing fine.
God Bless You Selma Blair. I admire you alot. I have you in my thoughts & prayers. Keep being a Great Spokesperson for MS & Chronic painful diseases. I suffer severe chronic migraines & bad Fibromyalgia. I am in constant pain everyday. I have been diagnosed for 10 years . But, had symptoms years before that with the Fibro. You are Strong Selma. I love you. Keep the Spirit. Keep speaking. Keep standing. Keep voicing. Keep fighting. None of it's in vain. You have people & fans like me. Supporting you & cheering for you. And are with you all.the way. God Bless You & Your Son..I have you both in my prayers & thoughts & heart.
Selma’s speech has improved SO much!
I also had HSCT for my MS this past May. Previously all past MRIs showed disease activity. I'm off MS drugs which were not helping me at all. It's a roller coaster ride, but I am all the better for it :) No disease activity my last MRI! There's my proof in the pudding.
Selma she really a great woman ,strong thoughtful ,careing ,her honesty I find amazing .I wish her well I am a big fan .
I love her spirit and outlook. All the best to you, Selma!!
She's incredible. But Dr Oz... sigh.
She speaks better than months ago . Im happy to see that she is recovering from her illness !
You can see little ticks here and there in her older work. Shame on her doctors for letting her go through years of torment. Be your own advocate!
Read about Terry Wahls . She is a physician that has MS and has worked out some ways to help symptoms.
8:32 "one in three of us will get alzheimer's" ... um, whut? does he just mean his family or the general population? cuz... i don't think that's true.
It is true.
1 in 3 of the populations. It is more common than you know.
I've had MS since 2010. It's hit you hard but the way you're handling it is out of this world! I don't know if it's possible, but I think you're even MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVERY BEFORE!
She is so beautiful and sexy and fierce and funny and smart and strong. Wow.
why is Dr Oz a part of this?
