Hi there. My name is Joel. I reside in Portland, Oregon. I was diagnosed 1/2/08.
I had been feeling the the symptoms since mid ’04, but didn’t have medical insurance until late ’07
I’ve had a 6 week stint with avonex. It was worse than the MS. I’ve been on copaxone for 4 years and have had no adverse reactions to it.
In march of this year, I flew to Ohio & got CCSVI treatment. The few positive results were almost immediate (feeling in my hands & feet) but even after 4 months of physical therapy, I’ve had no further advances.

Is there hope for my dad? I just listened to the parasite broadcast on KPCC out of Pasadena. I simply welled up with tears at the possibility that there could be some relief for my father. He has progressive degenerative MS. I’d do anything to help him walk again or even be able to sit up and use his hands without such struggle. I know you’re busy, but if you’d be willing to reply via email or phone and point me in the right direction, I’d be so grateful.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Richmond

This therapy is already available in the UK from an unlicensed company, that is cooperating with the MHRA to obtain a license, already.

Full disclosure, I own part of the company. But given the research by Correale, Farez, that already exists, and the evidence, via the Centers for Disease Control in the USA, of the safety of infection with small numbers of hookworm, I am surprised we do not get more interest for RR MS.
