If you'd like to help people with visual difficulties just use regular upper and lower case and don't use fancy type or colors. People with visual difficulties very often already use some way to make the type bigger and easier to read so you don't even need to make it bigger. Just regular type gets you message across best.

REMEMBER...IT CAN'T RAIN ALL THE TIME.
I'M ALSO TRYING TO START A DISCUSSION ON BG-12/TECFIDERA REGARDING CLAIMS FROM PRODUCERS OF A NATURAL REMEDY AND A BIOLOGICAL MANUFACTURER OF A SIMILAR TREATMENT.

PRODUCERS OF PROBIOTICS, HERBAL REMEDIES AND PROTANDIM ARE SUING STATING THAT BIOGEN IS SELLING BG-12/TECFIDERA AS A PRESCRIPTION DRUG WHEN IT IS ALL BASED ON CURRENTLY USED KEFIR, PROBIOTIC, PROTANDIM HERBAL NATURAL REMEDIES.
JUST WHAT I AM HEARING. I WILL TAKE TECFIDERA ALONG WITH ALL THESE REMEDIES I AM ALREADY TAKING.

MULTI-FILING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT

IS THERE A LEGAL BATTLE BETWEEN BIOGEN AND MAKERS OF PROTANDIM?
THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF CHATTER AMONGST USERS OF PROBIOTICS, PROTANDIM AND OTHER HOMEOPATHIC ALTERNATIVES.
I HAVE BEEN DOING THE GAPS DIET FOR AWHILE, WITH HIGH KEFIR, FRUIT AND VEGGIE AND INCREASED MOVEMENT.
IS THERE TRUTH TO THE BREAK DOWN IN ENZYME PRODUCTION AND HEALTHY BACTERIA IN THE INTESTINAL TRACT AND STOMACH?
IT WORTH SEEING AN UPPER GI DOCTOR FOR.

Renal Issues?
I told my Neuro i would go on BG-12 but am concerned about renal issues.
Does anyone know much about this? (other than what is in the PDF)
I have mild kidney disease so it does concern me. However so do the other MS meds... I suspect my kidney disease came from either Betaseron or Copaxone, just a hunch since they can't find other reasons for it.
Thank you!

As for the EDSS scores. I believe the study you are citing was 12 weeks. Over that period of time there probably isn't much change in EDSS scores for any subset of patients without a flare. The 2 year study is where a significant difference was realized and that makes sense to me.
One of the research neurologists I met with said the BG-12 study participants had a better EDSS starting score than the Aubagio patients (meaning they had less disability to begin with). She believed that over time the BG12 numbers might dip and Aubagio numbers might rise.

rdmc - I noticed the same thing! It confused me because everywhere else says that it Does slow disability! The biogen website even says it slows it. So ?!?!
Alan - please let us know
