Dear Lloyd,

My Neurologist suggested that I start on Avonex, because he claimed that my MS was escalating, (based on a recent MRI), and that an interferon was called for to possibly slow the progression of the disease.

Within a couple of weeks I started experiencing joint pain. I told him and he said it was a common, soon to pass, side effect. Weeks later the pains were only controlled by Vicodin, again my doctor said, "it should pass". Finally, in the most horrible pain I ever experienced in my life, unable to stand, walk, or get in or out of bed without my wifes help, and then crying with pain, taking 2 Vicodin every 1/2-1 hour, I told my doctor,"I AM STOPPING THESE INJECTIONS"!

I went on to see a Rheumotoid Arthritis specialist who feels that the interferon caused the onset of RA. What is your feeling please on what happened to me. Is this fairly common in some patients? I am now on Methotrexate and Methylprednisolone, and will be for the rest of my life, and even with these medications, I still have swelling and some pain in my joints.

Thank you,
Armand

Hi Armand:

Avonex is interferon. Interferon does not work. It does not work on hepatitis, cancer, MS. This drug is a serious assault on humanity for the sake of money.

I hear what you wrote everyday, too many times. Interferon brings on RA. I know as Interferon did it to me, it has done it to thousands of people, the medical community does not care, is not interested in stopping it and I am at my wits end on how to stop it.

Stopping interferon does not seem to stop the problem.

Generally the RA gets worse.

Some of the things I have found that help a lot are:

Russian Choice Immune. This is a group of good bacteria that balances the bacteria in the small colon. For some reason, this yeast build up in the small colon makes the arthritis pain much more sever.

Also, Superflex helps, takes about 30 days for it to take full effect.

MSM can also help.

The one Item you should take is Natcell Mesenchyme.
This is an undifferentiated cell. Similar to a Stem Cell.

It will help with MS. I know it because I have many clients that take it.
They tell me that they forget their cane when they are taking Mesenchyme.

Try it, it works well for MS.

In Good Health
Lloyd
