Q: I read about a new suppliment, from Hungary, http://www.olimpiqstemxcell.com/ What do you think?

I am looking to try this but am a little hesitant. I would like to know your opinion. I am currently on Tysabri -15 months. I had 1 very bad excaserbation during the 3 months I stopped Tysabri due to other health issues. The tysabri has only stopped the excaserbations, no change in symptoms or MRI's.

Thank you!

Nancy,

 

I would definitely check with a doctor before taking ANY supplements, especially those purchased online.

 

I took a look at the site and it left me with more questions than answers. Personally, I wouldn't jeopardize my health, or my wallet, with claims of this nature. It may very well be harmless, but always check these things out with a medical professional. Sometimes even over the counter supplements can cause problems. If you do take supplements, be sure to inform your doctor.

 

Please be careful. There are people who would gladly take advantage of our desperation in order to make a buck.

 

I hope you come back and update us on how you're doing.

HI NANCY,

I'M SORRY YOU DON'T FEEL THE TYSABRI IS WORKING FOR YOU, ALTHOUGH I KNOW OF SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ON IT LONGER, BEFORE THEY SAW ANY IMPROVEMENT AT ALL.

ALSO, TALKING WITH YOUR NEURO, CONCERNING BOTH THE TYSABRI, AND THE STEM CELL SUPPLIMENT SHOULD ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. AT ANY RATE, DO NOT ORDER THE SUPPLIMENT WITHOUT YOUR NEURO'S APPROVAL! NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT SOUNDS.

ALL THE BEST TO YOU!
