New treatment going to trials

[oceanpride]

So I’m not much good at finding information and links and whatnot but this is what I’m hearing from my cousin out west in Regina.
University of Regina , his name is Josef Buttigieg. They draw blood and then inject with a coded myelin stuff that the cells in our bodies thinks is myelin so they attack it. Then this stuff kills them all off. Maybe someone can google it and explain it better. I hope they are on to something

Sorry but if you google University of Regina multiple sclerosis research it will come up.

Are you referring to this from U of Regina?

Now, University of Regina researchers say they’ve seen some early, promising results in what they hope could one day be a cure for MS.
They’re comparing it to the Trojan Horse – a new drug that preys on destructive cells that cause multiple sclerosis.

“It’s giving the body exactly what these mutant cells are looking for, but attaching a little bomb on it,” associate professor Josef Buttigieg explained. “When those defective cells pick up that protein, they self-destruct and commit suicide. You remove those cells, you keep your immune system whole. It’s a targeted approach.”

Yes Seasha thank you.
I just thought that some would find it interesting and I’m not too good with technical things. My cousin is friend's with Josef and she let me know.

Hey there oceanpride!

That sounds terrific!

Maybe it will finally be 'The One'!

The date on the information when you search it through Google is 2018. Either it didn't make it or they found out it didn't really work.

The above article https://globalnews.ca/news/4463560/u...-ms-treatment/I found from 2019 shows that the testing was done on mice.

They state "It will likely still be a few years until they can test on human subjects, but the group is confident they’re on to something potentially life-changing- if funding continues."

Based on this, there is still a hopeful outcome!

My cousin told me she was talking to them and they are starting human trials now. A sample of
Blood is drawn and treatment is given …
giving the disease what it is looking for and then destroys it. Let’s all hope that it’s the one !
