Laura Lewars posted on: January 10, 2014 I agree with you. In fact there are many other natural products I use and recommend to my clients both with and without MS.
I was diagnosed in 1995 although I've always felt it is Lyme. I've gone back to school and am an herbalist and naturopath and plan on studying homeopathy soon. I use diet and natural therapies for my health with no new "attacks" for 14 years.
Lori posted on: January 10, 2014 Love this article!! I was diagnosed in 2003 with MS and had the most problems with fatigue, cognitive function with speech, brain fog, headache and numbness of left side . I was introduced to Advocare nutritional a 2 years ago and it has helped all those symptoms. I feel great, work full time as a clinic nurse, excercise and ride bikes in summer and can honestly say I have not felt this good before. I have not had any flair-ups in 2 yrs and in August my Doctor let me go off my Copaxone injections. Brain fog and headaches disappeared and I owe it ALL to supplements and the great nutritionals Advocare has put together. If anyone wants to ask me more I am here to help others feel this good. It didn't cure my MS , but it has helped with symptoms and fatigue that I forget I have it! Praise God!!

Andrea posted on: January 10, 2014 Lori-curious what you take. I'm also into Advocare and have RRMS
Judy posted on: January 10, 2014 Lori ,
Would love to know what supplements you take. Fatigue is a big problem for me and left side weakness.
Norma Merce posted on: January 10, 2014 I've been taking a variety of supplements and have adjusted my diet to include a lot more leafy greens and less carbs…the results have been pretty amazing. Aside from B12 complex, and Zinc, I also take "NutriFeron" by a company called Shaklee. I was skeptical about it, but decided to give it a shot, since the only way to prove that something works is to experiment. In my experience, it is as close to living a normal life as I could wish. My fogginess is gone, I can walk without a cane, the tingly feelings are gone and my speech has improved tremendously. I would recommend that others experiment too to see what works for them.
Marilyn posted on: January 11, 2014 I was diagnosed in 1993 and was on Rebif for a couple of years but saw no results and it is very costly. Now I take a pill for restless legs, one for spasms, one for sleep and another for back spasms. I have a neurogenic bladder so I have to cath to void. I am losing my ability to walk. If any of you have ideas for me, I would be more than willing to try it. I am getting pretty discouraged.
Martin Podvojsky posted on: January 11, 2014 pat rowley, I have been diagnosed with MS for 10 years, but for about the past 2 years my intention tremors have been getting worse and worse, making it difficult to do even common daily activities. Do you, or anyone else on here, know of any helpful herbs (or medications) to help with this problem?
Chris Gartland posted on: January 11, 2014 Lori, what is Advocare? I don't have MS, but my wife does. Diagnosed in 1999. Fairly asymptomatic besides fatigue and some vision issues. I'll look it up, but I'd like to know more from you...
Lynda posted on: January 26, 2014 Lori please tell me what you are taking.
I had an attack in 2009 my left eye, (optic neuritis)

I hadn& 39;t been back to the doctor re my other symptoms because I never realised they were ms symptoms until this weekend looking up everything.
Also have low blood pressure now soo a lot of these can be due to that too??
I need advice & help! Thanks so much!!
Jessica posted on: April 10, 2015 Hello I was diagnosed with RRMS in 2011 at age 21. I have a friend at work who is doing the 24 day challenge from Advocare. Curious if any one has tried it and if it affected your MS. I suffer from fatigue, brain fog, loss of consentration, and no energy and weakness. I am going to try it for weight loss and if it works and doesnt affect me with My MS i will continue it if it improves my mental stability and gets rid or helps my fatigue. I have taken the meal supplement shakes from Advocare and it has helped me a little I just hope with this challenge and all the vitamins and supplements it will not only help my health for my weight but also improve symptoms of MS. I might add I was on Tecfideria but havent taken it in over a month because I want to try for another baby in a couple months. just in case any one wants any info on Tecfideria....excuse spelling errors!
Al posted on: January 8, 2016 Just wanted to comment in 2016 to point out that Lori sounds like an Advocare salesperson. I did a lot of reading about Advocare, nothing that screams help for MS, and extremely expensive for most of us to get into regularly.
Besides some of the supplements mentioned, high vitamin D and one people should please read about is Lions Mane Mushroom, as it showed actual researched promise in MS over many years.
Al posted on: January 8, 2016 Hopefully it helps my fellow MS patients reading this blog in the future to stay away from these people who try to make a profit on the sick and desperate (like Advocare). They know we would try anything that sounds remotely good. Look into natural supplements, healthy diet and exercise first, and whatever your MS medicine of choice might be.
Ahmed Latif posted on: June 15, 2023 I was diagnosed in March 2014 but was running around from doctor to doctor before I finally got a result that I was free from Multiple sclerosis (MS). Mine started on top and progressed into the bottom. I could walk very little but needed assistance as I have no balance. It is sad all the time that we thought this disease has no cure with all the technology we have while there are some formulas that can reverse all MS symptoms and get rid of it . I’m passing this info to anyone at there because ( www multivitamincare .org ) has the right cure and caregiver to this disease ….I took various supplements, medicine prescribed by neurologist,PCP and physiotherapy still the disease is was progressing very fast until the Multiple sclerosis (MS) herbal remedies from that company .
Cherry Dotman posted on: July 24, 2023 I usually search on YouTube for any interesting documentaries. Whilst looking up YouTube videos I came across a documentary on people who suffer Multiple sclerosis (MS) and their real treatment. I had never heard of this crippling and debilitating disease affecting a lot of Americans. It is very tortuous to watch and hear patients who suffer. It is more like a combination of various diseases all put into one. Like a person who has suffered a stroke, plus someone suddenly becoming paralyzed, cancer etc. but I also get to understand that there has been a successful cure to this disease. It is too much for a patient to endure such as they slowly begin to pass away if the right medication is not taken .Having a positive mind is a powerful tool .My prayers go out to Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and their caregivers.
