- TREATMENT FOR MS:
- It is now known the cause for the destruction of the
myelin in the lesions is overactivation of the microglia in the region
of the myelin. An enzyme that converts glutamine to glutamate called glutaminase
increases tremendously, thereby greatly increasing excitotoxicity. Mercury
also activates microglia, even in subtoxic doses.
- Any dietary excitotoxin can activate the microglia, thereby
greatly aggravating the injury. This includes the aspartate in aspartame.
The methanol adds to this toxicity as well. Now, the secret to treatment
appears to be shutting down, or at least calming down, the microglia. It
has been found that the antibiotic minocycline powerfully shuts down the
microglia. I tried this treatment on a friend of mine who just came down
with fulmanant MS. He was confined to a wheelchair. I had him placed on
minocycline and now, just a few weeks later, he is walking.
- The good news is that other things also calm the microglia-the
most potent are: silymarin, curcumin and ibuprophen. Phosphatidylcholine
helps re-myelinate the nerve sheaths that are damaged, as does B12, B6,
B1, vitamin D, folate, vitamin C, natural vitamin E (mixed tocopherols)
and L-carnitine. DHA plays a major role in repairing the myelin sheath.
Vitamin D may even prevent MS, but it acts as an immune modulator, preventing
further damage - the dose is 2000 IU a day. Magnesium, as magnesium malate,
is needed in a dose of 500 mg 2X a day. They must avoid all excitotoxins,
even natural ones in foods-such as soy, red meats, nuts, mushrooms and
tomatoes. Avoid all fluoride and especially all vaccinations since these
either inhibit antioxidant enzymes or triggers harmful immune reactions.

- Note from Dr. Betty Martini :
- Cori Brackett, co-owner of Sound and Fury Productions,
an MS victim diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic, had a huge lesion in the brain.
Cori was a user of the neurotoxic drug Aspartame, marketed as NutraSweet,
Equal, Spoonful, E951, Canderel, Benevia, etc. Off the poison, she too
walked out of her wheelchair; the lesion disappeared. Because of what
she had endured from aspartame disease she felt a moral obligation to warn
others, especially with 70% of the population and 40% of our children
using this deadly toxin. Cori Brackett traveled 7000 miles and with 25
hours of footage produced the movie, "Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World."
She says it reveals one of the most pervasive, insidious forms of corporate
negligence in the history of the industrial revolution. On this date it
is being released to the w
