My FAVORITE resources for MS warriors!
My new Resources Page is full of supplements and tricks that I use on a regular basis. Some are natural treatments for MS symptoms. Some are ways to save money while treating our MS with a disease modifying treatment. The Resources Page is located in the menu at top of the blog.
I’m not a doctor and do not give medical advice.
These are things that have worked well for me and wanted to share them. They are also products with clinical research behind them. Something to check out for sure!

1. Myetin:
High dose biotin with NAD+ produced by Avior Nutritionals.
This naturally occurring vitamin is offered in a super high-quality, high-dose of 150mg 2X/day (not the mcgms as seen in local drugstores). Benefits for everyone are different. My experience has been amazing with reduced spasms, less pain, increased energy and cognitive clarity.

2. Protandim:
Plant based “nrf2” activator to fight oxidative stress.
Fight oxidative stress with a natural nrf2 activator. This plant based supplement is clinically proven to help fight oxidative stress, which leads to inflammation. Each capsule contains healing properties from plants including: milk thistle, bacopa monnieri, ashwaghanda, green tea and turmeric.
My experience has been to feel less MS activity across the board. With arthritis and other inflammatory based conditions, I find this natural treatment helpful and reliable. There is also a comfort knowing that these are helping to prevent some damage. I'm sure how much, but even a little is reassuring!

SAVE Money on your prescription drugs!
Tired of paying exorbitant prices for your Disease Modifying Treatment (DMT) such as Copaxone, Rebif and Gilenya?
Other expensive prescriptions are available such as cialis, viagra, estragel and more for the many, many results of living with MS.
5. Visbiome:
a Probiotic used in clinical studies because it's that good!
We've been hearing about probiotics and gut health for awhile now. Do something about it because this is truly one of the easiest ways to care for your health. It's important to use a high quality probiotic such as clinically tested Visbiome, which is kept in the refrigerator. Please know that probiotics bought from a shelf, not kept cool, is not live cultures. Not sure why anyone would waste their money on such a thing.
6. Swannies:
With all of our devices and time indoors under unnatural light, these handy glasses can be a life saver in finding sleep.
And, they are a total bonus if it's cloud and gray out because with Swannies on, Life is Always Sunny!

MS sees no borders, neither does the GirlwithMS.com
Medicine is expensive and many folks can not afford their treatments. I am proud to off YouDrugstore.com as an option. This is a Canadian company and can save patients up to 80% off of very expensive drugs.
The image below represents general pricing and not necessarily from youDrugstore.com.
One of my passions is supporting American businesses but let's be honest, they are over the top expensive. The main reason for prescription drug prices higher in the United States than anywhere else in the world is the existence of government-protected “monopoly” rights for drug manufacturers.

I am having joints pain in both hands inside and outside and muscle weakness due to multiple sclerosis (MS). I am falling a lot, I have headaches and lightheadedness. I cannot keep myself balanced, and walk with a tremor like I cannot control my steps. I had taken avonex for two years. Presently I am taking Mayaka MS HERBAL FORMULA TREATMENT (ww w. mayakaherbalcentre. c om). I take it twice daily morning and evening. I have experience a continual diminution of symptoms. it's a powerful herbal formula, 10 out of 10 from me!
ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed of Multiple Sclerosis a couple of years ago, I had severe fatigue, difficulty with mobility and sleeping. I was given medications which helped but only for a short while. So i decided to try alternative measures and began on MS HERBAL TREATMENT from Kykuyu Health Clinic, It made a tremendous difference for me (Go to www. kykuyuhealthclinic .com). I had improved walking balance, muscle strength and improved vision
