I, myself, am a go with the scientific community type of person. I saw my grandmother (who had MS)be part of every drug trial and every "do-gooder" product around. None of them ever worked.

Now my mom gets talked into them by "friends who just want to help". She knows I won't spend my money on them (like there's ever any extra) so she buys them for me to try. I tried the first couple, but eventually I stopped taking them because I wasn't sure if new symptoms I was having was the MS or the "vitamins".

This is just my expeirence, but I hope you do a lot of research before you try them. Good Luck with you decision. Rana

Yeah I buy into their crap just like I buy into the nonsense that if I pray hard enough and keep the faith that God will heal me (a much held belief by my parents). I don't mean to be cynical but lets be honest, we are all sick and suffering. Lets take our meds, try to deal and wait until those in government pull their heads out of their asses and get going on some much needed stem cell research and development. Please don't buy any of their fluff and make believe crap. If it sounds to good to be true than it usually is. Keep your money and buy something fun that will make you happy. much love --emmie

The only reliably genuine healer who tries to help you in the name of GOD will not take money. Period.
By the way, maybe, just maybe, GOD knows best. Impossible to see why he would do this to a person, but then we cannot see a lot of things, can we?
Hang in there kiddo, and follow your gut instincts, it sounds like they are serving you well so far!

I don't want to make enemies on here, however I feel compelled to ask this. Wouldn't you consider a church a place that is meant to help people? And if so how can it be explained that tithing (tossing money in a collection basket) isn't taking money in the name of God.

I believe that is how things operate here in the physical universe everything has a price even religion. I also believe that church can help some people even if it is just learning how to give (their money.)LOL You should always be a little skeptical of miracle cures or someone who says they can save your soul and help you find salvation. This is my take on things. I just had to throw it in there.

I'm kindof skeptical about those things. I figure if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Also, if these miracle cures really worked wouldn't ya think it would make it to the news? I would think it would be alot more known. Especially being that we are trying to find a cure. If someone had the answer they could make alot of money.

I'm not sure how the conversation got side tracked to God, but back to the natural cures for MS idea...I am recently tried fish oil supplements. I have not had anyone try to sell me vitamins but I would be cautious of "miracle cures". I really think that healthy living, diet and exercise can only benefit us...but I already spend enough on injections to throw money around on overly expensive vitamins.

If there was really something that cured MS someone wouldn't be selling it door to door they would be picking up their Nobel Prize!!!!!

Eloise. . .there are so many empty promises out there. Anything to take advantage of the sick or desperate. Don't get sucked into this vicious game. I have to agree with Denise. Play it smart.

I'VE BEEN IN THE MEDICAL FIELD FOR OVER 40YEARS AND ANY TIME SOMEONE SAYS THEY HAVE A "CURE" FOR ANYTHING, RUN OR CRAWL THE OTHER WAY AS FAS AS YOU CAN. A "CURE" IS "QUACK" TERMINOLOGY. ALSO CHECK TO SEE IF THEY R A REAL BUSINESS AND WHAT THEIR REPUTATION IS. BUT BASICALLY I WOULD IGNORE THEM. THERE IS A BOOK I HAVE WRITTEN BY ALLEN C. BOWLING, MD, PHD CALLED ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE AND MS WHICH GIVES INFO RE DIFFERENT THERAPIES. VERY HELPFUL. I WAS DIAGNOSED IN 2002 AND HAVE HAD MS SINCE MY LATE 20'S AND I'M 58 NOW. GOOD LUCK

These people aren't your friends, they're charletains out to get what little money you have left. There's nothing down that road but heartache, loss of money and whatever medical problems the quackery causes.

I was once offered a "cure" in a half-ounce bottle. The lady handed it to me. It had one of those labels that look like it was privately printed. The bottle cost $50. I turned it over, and it said "100% blackstrap molasses."

Now: if Blackstrap molasses REALLY CURED MS, then surely people around the world would rejoice, and rush off to their supermakets, where you can get an 8 ounce bottle for less than one dollar. Why then would I pay 50 dollars for a half ounce bottle?

This isn't quackery, it's downright thievery, and these people are preying on the most desperate people by waving magic "cures" that even the richest of people can't afford. There is a special place in hell, I believe, for anyone who takes advantage of sick and suffering people the way your two new "friends" do.

Avoid them at all costs, and spend your hard-earned money on treatments your doctor offers (which are back by FDA testing).

sounds so MLM. A business structure that can empty your wallet, cost you friends and do nothing for MS.

So many great people here. Makes me feel proud to be among you.

One of my docs said that he felt these alternative medicines were for people who were in a last resort situation, no results/faith in the medical system.

I did have someone give me a bottle of some new miracle cure and it didn't phase my health at all.

I do believe that God is important - I am up in the air on the tithing - perhaps the right church reminds everyone that if they don't tithe, they are still welcome.

Okay i have to jump in....grin...

We have all seen those comercials on t.v. about those get rich quick scemes etc.. for example the late nite ones when some of us cant sleep due to pain and nothing is on and we are chanell surfing..lol
the one where they buy real estate turn it over quick and become over nite millionares....yep thats right and you can become one to... ha.. for the right price they want to share their knowledge with you... out of the goodness of their heart??? because they are bored?? cant be because they possibly need the money...nope that cant be it,,, because if you listen to these people they already have all the answers..and all the money...smile

Now if there really was a "cure" for MS... all this fundraising that we participate in,,, all the training that these specialists go through.. all the tests that we go through is for what? cant be because we are bored,,,, i personally dont beleive in conspiracies... and if they have the "cure" cripes it must be worth millions of dollars.. so why on earth do they have to sell door to door... why not just go to the government and announce that they have found the cure?

Yep... alas... yet another scam...sigh.. to prey upon people who are in this situation...

Personally i would rather buy chocolate than what they are selling.. at least i know i would enjoy it..grin...

you should have the police or better business bureau investigate...not you by purchasing the stuff..seems like just another scam...don't you think people would be more informed of this product if it were that great?
