Author's Note

Thank you for the thoughtful engagement. A few threads worth highlighting:

Recovery stories matter. Celeste's comment describes reversing her MS diagnosis through dietary and lifestyle changes — removing processed foods, aspartame, wheat, chemicals; adding fermented foods, raw dairy, quality fats, and vitamins. She later discovered Dr. Terry Wahls had done essentially the same thing. These aren't anecdotes to be dismissed. They're data points the MS Society will never collect.

Mercury keeps surfacing. Rebecca Lee notes that Andy Cutler — the chemist who developed low-dose chelation protocols — said he had never seen a case of MS where mercury was not involved. She also shares a striking detail: military personnel who worked on radar installations had to have their dental work redone because the radiation dissolved their amalgam fillings. The convergence of EMF and heavy metals, in one observation.

Allen's comment deserves a careful read. The germ/virus/pathogen model doesn't just misdiagnose — it provides cover for industrial poisoning. "All of the ills of slave labor, ecological imperialism, industrial blight, etc. can be laid at the hands of virtually invisible (and usually non-existent) sub-microscopic particles with a wave of hand." Exactly right.

Jack Cruise talks about his friend reversing it through diet in his DX Paleo book. I always meant to look into the details but never got around to.

Howard Steen's avatar

Very interesting, thank you. I had a close friend who I met at university who was a very fit and active man in his 20s and a talented mountaineer / rock climber. We did climbs together through our 20s up to the point where he was diagnosed with MS which affected his legs. His upper body strength was unaffected. He ‘coped’ with this disability up until the end of his life while having a successful career as a radiologist. He also managed to keep adventuring on the sea but the symptoms were progressive and finally he sadly succumbed to a brain tumour in 2018. Together we made a short film with the idea to show MS sufferers that it’s possible to live with these symptoms and still enjoy active outdoor pursuits. Hopefully, awareness will grow about what is the real source of these symptoms. We must stop thinking about everything using the word disease. Today I would make this film differently. https://youtu.be/Ahg9uqwQqGg

It's frankly astonishing how many doctors are convinced that illness always implies decline .. I've pointed out for decades that things can mend and heal but it seems to make them angry . They seem committed to entropy. Its our competitive exclusive society I guess.

I took had a mountaineer friend like that .. I did try to advise him but he was so caught up in the medical paradigm I'm not sure if he heeded me. The sad thing is most people cant afford to change their lifestyles for one reason or another .

Howard Steen's avatar

Yes, many people simply accept what the doctors say, not realising that they are only saying things which they have been taught at medical school and what they accepted as truth without ever questioning it in any way.

Yeowoman's avatar

As a medical student my partner used to be quite enthusiastic about my idea that conditions could heal naturally. As he got older those ideas seemed to make him more and more angry. He became entrenched in the idea that everything simply would get worse as a matter of course. Maybe their work is so bleak that they lose hope .. or the brainwashing just takes hold. It is ironic.

yantra's avatar

they call it "progression". my husband, who had heart disease, really disliked that the cardio docs frequently referred to his heart "progressing" - meaning on the disease continuum. a weird perspective.

Yeowoman's avatar

maybe they stare so much at illness they end up siding with it .. cos they forgot what health was .

Bridget's avatar

Interesting article. There’s also a strong association between Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (which I have) and Multiple Sclerosis.

My EDS means my connective tissue (collagen) is flawed and weak. With this disorder, we’re imploding like Building 7.

Howard Steen's avatar

This is a new condition to me. I do now wonder if any of the explanations about all of these conditions where the body is said to be attacking itself are really true at all? When I think about this, the psychology of it is a very negative one or can have very negative effects on the sufferer. It is that of seeing oneself as a defective machine rather than a perfect body-soul being which is challenged from time to time but is self regulating and has the capability to self heal.. I am not trying to minimise or deny the debilitating effects of symptoms you or anyone else is experiencing but just wondering if you have thought about it in this way.

Bridget's avatar

You raise a good point. I’ve been disappointed by my body for my entire life so much so I joking refer to it as unreliable transportation. It’s weird because if you met me you’d think I was fine. I appear to be very good shape.

I figured out on my own I had EDS in my early 40s, though I’d seen many doctors through the years who missed the obvious clues. Then on top of that I have a rarer version of it that’s allegedly one in a million live births.

But do I see myself as a defective machine? Not at all. Just an exceptionally strong spirit in a correspondingly flimsy earth suit, as I call it.

I’m just passing through here anyway. I’m seeking to live with Jesus forever and one day be free of all that I now know for something far better.

One of my favorite scriptures I think about often is this:

“But as it is written:

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,

Nor have entered into the heart of man

The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

(1 Corinthians 2:9)

Howard Steen's avatar

This conversation is interesting to me because in my family, our eldest daughter suffered from juvenile polyarthritis from the age of three. This is not a pleasant condition and involved strong drugs throughout the rest of childhood and left a permanent limitation in neck movements and perhaps other problems. Our youngest of the three daughter developed multiple connective tissue disorder and my wife started to suffer from lupus in her late 40s. These are all so-called auto-immune disorders. I am not complaining in any way but I think my own life might have been quite different if we had not had all of this to cope with. And now if I look at all of this and the doctor visits and the worry I wonder if it might have all turned out differently if we had taken a terrain theory approach to understanding what was going on - and still is going on. I am now 75 years old but I am inspired to learn more about the New Germanic Medicine and I had the fortune to met recently with Dr Stefan Lanka who I think has very good ideas about the way forward. I’ll be sharing more about this over the coming months.

Thomas A Braun RPh's avatar

There are prescription drugs that negatively impact the bodies ability to maintain connective tissue vibrancy.

Bridget's avatar

Interested to know which ones, thanks.

yantra's avatar

Acetaminophen aka Tylenol aka Paracetamol apparently cause connective tissue breakdown. I have heard/read about this and it dovetails with my own experience.

Manganese is supposed to help regenerate collagen - in small doses (like 10 mg) every other day.

Bridget's avatar

Yes, I avoid those drugs. And a naturopath advised me to take Manganese, so I take 10 mg a few times a week.

Yeowoman's avatar

I never take any pharma, but I was definitely in ED territory .. collagen wasnt doing it's thing at all. My suspicion is this is all a result of celtic type folks not eating their native diet (meat and fish) .. the problem is we cant afford to feed everyone their native diets so pharma seems to be making up the shortfall. Have you tried a carnivore/keto/paleo type diet ?

Bridget's avatar

Actually am on Keto. But my EDS isn’t correctible in the least. Although avoiding certain foods is wise for anyone concerned about improving their health.

EDS is considered one of the top three most painful and progressive disorders known to man or animal, I once read somewhere. There are many different types. I have one copy of the gene of the highly uncommon kyphoscoliotic version. I look pretty good at 62. But with this disorder how you look means little. It’s also said we’re twenty years older body wise than our chronological age.

That’s life.

Yeowoman's avatar

I hope you can find some relief. Did yiou try that DMSO stuff ?? I havnt but I do hear good reviews . These various disorders are all so interconnected , I hope we can navigate through.

BDBinc's avatar

Yes totally, diet is the body fuel and we have to watch the mind fuel also.

Have you tried the Mediterranean diet?

(and for mind the meditate-ranian diet )

Pain is very difficult . I have found for me non resistance and not projecting the pain I feel into a future - imagining ( which is an idea I cant cope with )

Peace and love

Hi Bridget,

These two articles might interest you. The author writes about collagen diseases, among other things.

Bridget's avatar

So very kind of you, thanks. Also I repeatedly refused to take the ClotShot, though my Pain Doc tried his best to persuade me to do so. I told him my having Factor V means I’m a clotter and hence there’s no way I’d ever do such. I knew in January 2020 this was a set up.

Suavek's avatar

That wasn't my point. I didn't assume you'd taken the blood clot injection. I just thought the information about collagen might be important for you.

Bridget's avatar

Yes, of course.

What happened was, I had just read the article and the issue of the vaccine was in the front of my mind, that’s all.

No worries.

Yeowoman's avatar

Oh heavens.. you will recognise my cover pic then. I managed to 'cause' supposed MS by sailing and climbing here. The cure was to stop pushing myself so hard tbh .. and quit the plant based diet. Had I never gone vegan I very much doubt I'd have gotten ill. Sadly the diets in this region are far worse now than they were 100 years ago and it looks like it's going to get much much worse.

Howard Steen's avatar

Oh, that's very interesting. I have abseiled off the Bhasteir Tooth which appears in your photo. Not sure if I would like to do it now though! Do you live up there? Nice part of the world. I kept the small sailing boat in the film near Oban for ten years before selling her in 2023 - but happily as it turned out I can still get to sail on her.

Yeowoman's avatar

I can see the tooth is cloaked in cloud this very moment. We kept ours at Cairnbarn or Crinan but I must say it is a very taxing pastime. It's wonderful for exploring remote places but I doubt I shall be doing more. I'm amazed how skilled the elder sailors are who grew up doing this in childhood. It seems to be a talent they never lose. Just dont overdo it !

Yeowoman's avatar

Just out of interest if you dont mind saying (you can delete after) .. which west coast island is your favourite. Do you have one ?? I'm interested in how people respond to this part of the world .

Howard Steen's avatar

Ah, that’s easy; it’s the Island of Soay, the one which lies half a mile immediately south of the Cuillin mountains. I know all the inhabitants of this tiny island who live extraordinary lives of isolation. That island has a very interesting history. It also has one of the best and secure natural small boat harbours on the West Coast. I’ve sat out many a gale in this snug little anchorage. The island has a haunting quality about it - for me it is magical. I started a film project about this island because it is a place of unfulfilled dreams but to date it could not be finished. Maybe can be one day. At least I’d like to think that.

Yeowoman's avatar

Ah now that was a good answer ! Maxwells old place. It's a very dramatic spot indeed. Elgol is so busy these days with tourists It feels so much less remote than it used to around those parts. You absolutely should try to make your film, (before the whole region becomes a wind farm)

BDBinc's avatar

Great point we should stop using the word disease except as it was meant (dis -ease a state of fear/stress ) that causes ill being in body and mind.

Debunking all the "disease" dogma . Physical and of the mind( as the two are one)

Julie's avatar

“…it’s possible to live with these symptoms and still enjoy active outdoor pursuits.”

Except when the MonSter affects your legs…. Or numerous other symptoms preventing such physical pursuits.

Howard Steen's avatar

In the case of my friend it was the unpredictability of the attacks and the progressive level of resulting disability after one occurred. So not being able to plan for a life and the nagging fear that at some point everything was going to become difficult / impossible. Medical prognoses do nothing to help the patient in this respect with the symptoms of MS. So if I take a ‘terrain theory’ approach to explaining these attacks and the symptoms I wonder what is going on there. I still can’t really sort it out. Is there an ongoing exposure to a toxin or is it all caused by an unresolved biological (mental) conflict?

yantra's avatar

sounds like the successful radiological career may have led to his "MS" and also promoted the brain tumor - two different neurological tissue maladies with a common cause, perhaps.

Howard Steen's avatar

No, it didn’t happen exactly that way. He hadn’t quite become a doctor at the time the MS was diagnosed. He studied engineering first, then worked for Warburgs (merchant banking) and he hated that so studied medicine. It was while he was studying that the first ‘attack’ came about so it could not have been exposure related. I did wonder if this might have been the reason for the brain tumour but as a consultant radiologist it’s probably not that much exposure involved. Could have been family conflict related. His mother was killed in a car crash and his sister committed suicide. Very tragic events. Also, and this could be relevant, a few years after receiving the MS diagnosis he was driving to work I think it may have been, he was behind a bus and lost control of one leg. Instead of breaking he hit the accelerator and was hurtling towards the back of the bus which was at a stop. Unable to halt his vehicle he swerved to avoid a collision which was onto the pavement. His vehicle then ran along the side of the bus and killed a passenger who was getting off. This resulted in a long legal case where he was accused of reckless driving. The court, the prosecution did not want to hear any evidence about his MS which was clearly the reason why this tragic death occurred. It went on for months and he was under incredible stress. But he did in the end get a verdict of involuntary manslaughter and have no penalties. What could have caused the tumour I think is the worry about the progressive nature of the MS. He talks about this in the film if you’ve watched it. This is constant nagging stress of course and maybe it can do that.

Bridget's avatar

My mom had very bad MS. She lived nearly her entire adult life with my malignant narcissist, bipolar dad, so I can’t help but imagine it worsened it. How could it not?

Being at peace and generally optimistic makes a huge difference to the state of every cell of the body. The good news is at least you can change your environment.

yantra's avatar

i hear you.

Allen's avatar

The disease/bacteriological/virus/germ/pathogen model of defining and assessing the human condition has many benefits for those who designed and sponsored these tragically erroneous assumptions and definitions.

One of the primary and often overlooked benefits for the ruling class of this paradigm is that it covers up the numerous colossal social crimes of the barbaric system that they created.

All of the ills of slave labor, ecological imperialism, industrial blight, etc. can be laid at the hands of virtually invisible (and usually non-existent) sub-microscopic particles with a wave of the hand.

It's no accident that the germ theory model and scientific medicine ran parallel during the entrenchment of the industrial era. It's no accident that its proliferation was sponsored by robber barons and shoved down the throats of the public through devious machinations when not outright force.

And it appears they got the idea when Germany and Russia became too strong competitors. The UK/US found a way. War, revolution, the Federal Reserve and mass vaccination and fake School medicine to go with it. The US was not in the lead. The Angloamerican Establishment was under Britains control. So the US members were following Britains instructions.

BDBinc's avatar

America is not independent its still a British( Bank of England's Crown) corporation.

(Look at Debt slaves that vote for their governance ( like they are children) think they are free and independent from the Crown, UN and Vatican)

Peter Grafström's avatar

Something people seem to overlook is the client side. The people who are economically independent and have the money for investing. They are in the millions. And it is their motivations that decide the conditions under which the bankers have to make priorities. The actual organisation of banking is like it is because of that client class. By pointing to those formal arrangements but not to the client class the whole thing remains a mystery.

BDBinc's avatar

“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”

Its a ponzi scheme.

Banks literally make up money.

And profit off debt.

Nation States set up as corporations that borrow money in our name (to administer their legislation) with out future labor as a guarantee for the loan (with interest) .

(Taxes only pay some of the interest)

Peter Grafström's avatar

Please dont we all know about the Ponzi scheme! But the matter I am trying to bring to your attention is : In whose interest is this going on? I suggest it is going on for the benefit of the client class. Do you think the millions who benefit would like to change this to decrease the accumulation of their wealth and maybe go for a more egalitarian society? The reason the bankers favour the western empire is they dont have the power people imagine. The purpose of once delegating the finances of Britain to private bankers of foreign extraction is they may be controlled in the interest of the empire. That is why the empire needs bankers to be private and it is why they start wars against countries with an independent national bank.

BDBinc's avatar

You suggest it is going on for the benefit of not the central bankers( Rothschild and co) but for the "client class"?

I dont know who you mean when you say the client class ?

All the billionaires( Musk, Trump, inter-married, elites etc) are just front men not"clients".

I agree that when/if humanity had an inner change( evolution) the worlds (energy)system would also change.

BDBinc's avatar

Yip. History shows that snake oil( Rockefeller business ) when debunked morphed to " vaccines". And the 1861 germ hypothesis that has never been proven is the ba$e.

I am all for loosing the proliferating labels for ill being, MS BS ADD, all the medical opinions called " diseases"that hold the symptoms in place in the mind (and drug them). A medical system, a business of illness.

I encourage people to look at the role of fear in ill being, the mind is the terrain of a human being. The body follows the mind .

Andy Cutler said that he had never seen a case of MS where mercury was not involved. One of the other mods in our support group lost her MS diagnosis from working with him and chelating. (She reports that her doctor's reaction was to get mad at her.) There is an animation on Youtube that shows a small exposure to mercury knocking off the microtubules that protect neurons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzrjGk9M0mQ. Dr. Boyd Hayley talks about this in reference to AZ disease.

Another interesting item: I met a retired military person at a Weston A. Price do. He told me that the service people who worked on radar installations all had to have their teeth redone as the radiation dissolved their amalgam fillings.

Ambria's avatar

I have a lot of MS symptoms after i made the mistake of getting some injections. I wonder if getting my amalgams removed would help or if it's too late. I also have babesiosis, bartonella and parasites after those injections. All that "safe and effective" stuff they put in there, right?

Rebecca Lee (maybeitsmercury)'s avatar

Yes, you should get your amalgams removed. And you should chelate for mercury. But you need to know quite a lot before you undertake anything like that.

This is my website where there is a lot of information: https://www.maybeitsmercury.com/

And this is the Facebook support group for heavy metal toxic people who are chelating: https://www.facebook.com/groups/acfanatics

Get ivermectin and fenbendazole as well as b16 (apricot seeds) this is also the Joe Tippin protocol for cancer.

Mary C's avatar

Every day I read something that makes me wish we could turn back time. I watched my uncle slowly waste away from MS throughout my childhood. Thinking that it was genetic and that I could be next became one of my biggest fears.

Dish's avatar

Great article. I hadn't heard of the B12 link before. My mom had an MS diagnosis in 1977, a relapsing-remitting type which became a primary progressive later in life (and after relocating). She had a dentist's vacation-home level of amalgam in her mouth from an early age. Also interestingly her skin would burn almost instantaneously in the sun, which could have contributed to a vitamin D shortage. Also once I made the mistake of donating a small amount to the MS Society. I then got letter packages filled with greeting cards to use and personalized address labels for years to come. I think I received more mail from that one donation to cover 10x the amount.

My sister developed MS about 10 years ago when she began a job as a lecturer at a college. I have always suspected the flu vaccine pushed widely especially in NHS and Scottish Education to be crucial. Thoughts?

Willowbagz's avatar

I developed Sjogrens and Lupus from a flu vaccine

Rebecca Lee (maybeitsmercury)'s avatar

Yes. Well the flu vaccine often had a lot of mercury in it. A flu vaccine could have put her body over the top as far as being able to cope with toxicity, especially if she had amalgam fillings or some other kind of exposure.

Short circuiting of nerve transmission occurs in the brain when the myelin membrane protecting nerve transmission disappears. Root cause many factors including those listed in the article. Aspartame certainly causes inflammatory conditions to develop in the brain. When the bodies repair function is overwhelmed, the MS appears. Repairing the damage can not be attained if Omega 3 and nutrients such as Vitamin D are not present in sufficient amounts. Our neighbor Jackie survived with MS for 25 years because she was given vitamins and sat in the sun on the patio. A women was diagnosed with MS and left her office job under fluorescent lights and went to fulfilling her dream of breaking horses. Major life style change and out door living with sunshine.

MS disappeared. A mother's daughter was diagnosed with MS, and the mother changed the daughters lifestyle and provided vitamins in including Vitamin D and her daughter's MS disappeared. The basic issue is we are bombard with trace toxins from our food supply and beverages that impact brain health. Combine that with the lack of the nutrients for building and maintaining myelin health and MS becomes a health issue.

john herzog's avatar

Thank you as a physician, I’ll spread the word. This appears to be correct and the exact opposite of the complete BS they told me over and over and over. A lot like a psyop. Who could ever imagine our esteemed medical college pharmaceutical industry and actual government entities would ever possibly be behind a diabolic torturing suffering operation.? Unfortunately it fits the bill and is the plan. It’s us against them more than ever.

Vivian's avatar

Really interesting article. I have known so many people in my life with MS and all were women except one. One never bought into the label and recovered completely after one severe episode. One issue not discussed here is emotional trauma. Gabor Mate's book When the Body says No shows connections between childhood traumas and diseases. I believe dis-ease is multifactorial and emotional trauma needs to be looked at as well.

Carol j's avatar

Absolutely fascinating essay that will take me multiple reads to fully digest as much as my brain can hold. I love this type of essay.. historical, factual, confrontational of "conventional" medicine that we've grown up trusting. So much, all rolled into one brilliantly constructed essay. Thank you for your time & effort in building this! Well done!

yantra's avatar

I have 3 women friends who have developed what the MDs are calling "essential tremor" in the last few years. the docs are telling at least 2 of them it is "genetic". The youngest is in ~ her 50s.

They all carry cellphones. The 60ish one who also wears a "smart"watch told me recently that it was getting embarrassing going to lunch with friends, because her hand is tremoring so badly now when she eats. (i haven't seen her for a year or so; she lives elsewhere). The oldest one drives a tesla, which have huge emf fields including strong radar.

i know many if not most illnesses are multi-factorial, but the explosion of neurological disease in recent years is unprecedented. Another friend was part of a small tai chi group ~ 10 yrs ago. I can't remember exactly but i think it was four people, all with "parkinsons" plus my friend & her husband (both without parkinsons). - either that or all but one of the other people had parkinsons. One got so bad that her husband had to basically take over doing almost everything for her. She took to wearing her cellphone on a lanyard around her neck.

I wholeheartedly agree with the heavy metals link, although I must disagree about the electric field principle. We in western cities are totally surrounded by electric fields particularly with the take up of LED lighting in homes and street lighting, why aren’t there higher percentages of MS?
