SclerosisTreatment.com Reveals How to Cure MS Using Natural Multiple Sclerosis Treatment

Posted: Published on August 31st, 2013

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) August 25, 2013 SclerosisTreatment.com a division of Ironclad Integrity Ltd has reviewed Dr. Gary M. Levins guide called Natural Multiple Sclerosis Treatment. The website states that this is a natural cure that showed very good results in numerous patients worldwide. http://www.SclerosisTreatment.com reveals that Dr. Gary M. Levin is a retired MD and surgeon living in the United States who has been dealing with MS patients for years. As there is no known cure for this condition, the doctor decided to dig deeper into this problem, especially after he underwent a surgical intervention for a heart problem. Following the procedure, he came in contact with one of his colleagues, an allopathic and alternative medicine adept. That was the moment when he understood that medication is not enough to treat multiple sclerosis, confessed the doctor for SclerosisTreatment.com. After years of further research, the doctor came to find that curing multiple sclerosis would not be possible without curing its underlying cause a condition known as overactive immune system. According to SclerosisTreatment.com Dr.Gary M. Levin gathered all the findings and created Natural Multiple Sclerosis Treatment, a step-by-step simple and comprehensive approach that would be of great use for MS patients.

European Commission Approves Genzyme’s Once-Daily, Oral Multiple Sclerosis Treatment Aubagio® (teriflunomide)

Posted: Published on August 31st, 2013

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Genzyme, a Sanofi company (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY), announced today that the European Commission has granted marketing authorization for Aubagio (teriflunomide) 14 mg, a once-daily, oral therapy indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The fact that Aubagio 14 mg has demonstrated a positive effect on disability progression in two phase III clinical studies underscores its importance as a new treatment option for relapsing remitting MS patients," said Professor Ludwig Kappos, MD, Chair of Neurology, University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland. "As a new once-daily, oral treatment option with well-characterized safety and tolerability, Aubagio could be an attractive option for patients dissatisfied with traditional injectable therapies." The EU approval of Aubagio was based on data from the Phase III TEMSO (TEriflunomide Multiple Sclerosis Oral) and TOWER (Teriflunomide Oral in people With relapsing remitting multiplE scleRosis) trials. In these trials, Aubagio significantly reduced the annualized relapse rate and the time to disability progression at two years versus placebo. Aubagios efficacy, safety and convenient dosing may provide an attractive treatment option for patients, said Genzyme CEO and President, David Meeker, M.D. Todays approval of Aubagio is another step forward for Genzyme as we work … Continue reading

MSU veterinary center reports deadly equine case

Posted: Published on August 31st, 2013

Laboratory tests confirmed what is believed to be the first case of a deadly equine disease in the state of Kentucky since 2008. Dr. Wade Northington, director of Murray State Universitys Breathitt Veterinary Center in Hopkinsville, said Wednesday that a horse that died Aug. 18, shortly after being brought to the center, was diagnosed with eastern equine encephalitis. The Kentucky Veterinary Medical Association said the horse came from Hart County in the south-central part of the state. The horse was exhibiting the symptoms when it was brought here, Dr. Northington said. It was drowsy, not eating and also exhibiting what is known as ataxia, which describes that the animal is stumbling while walking and very uncoordinated. We performed many tests and one of those tests was for eastern equine encephalitis and we had those sent immediately to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames, Iowa, which confirmed the diagnosis on Friday. Northington said EEE is basically terminal for any horse that contracts the diseases, as there is no treatment to counteract its effects. He also said that, as of now, no other horses at Breathitt are showing signs of the disease. I really think this is a one-time case ... … Continue reading

The growth hormone and testosterone myths

Posted: Published on August 31st, 2013

Testosterone and other anabolic steroids and growth hormone are not just about cheating and theyre not just a problem to be dealt with by Major League Baseball and other overseers of professional sports. The sale and prescribing of testosterone and other anabolic steroids and growth hormone are illegal for athletic use, body building and anti-aging, and for good reasons. These drugs, when marketed and used for medically fallacious reasons, can cause financial, physical and psychological harm. Many clinics that go by various descriptions ranging from anti-aging, age-management and wellness clinics and spas to life extension and longevity institutes cater to young men looking for drugs for body building and of course professional athletes looking for athletic performance enhancing drugs as well as more middle aged and relatively wealthy individuals succumbing to marketed pitches of youth, virility, and weight loss. This is a cash only business (except for fraudulent insurance claims) because private and public insurers wont pay for these treatments that are viewed by endocrinologists as outside the scope of the reasonable, safe and legal practice of medicine. One of the consequences of this being a cash only business is that the clinics, internet sites and compounding pharmacies are ineffectually … Continue reading

UC Davis team 'spikes' stem cells to generate myelin

Posted: Published on August 31st, 2013

Public release date: 28-Aug-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Charles Casey charles.casey@ucdmc.ucdavis.edu 916-734-9048 University of California - Davis Health System (SACRAMENTO, Calif.) Stem cell technology has long offered the hope of regenerating tissue to repair broken or damaged neural tissue. Findings from a team of UC Davis investigators have brought this dream a step closer by developing a method to generate functioning brain cells that produce myelin a fatty, insulating sheath essential to normal neural conduction. "Our findings represent an important conceptual advance in stem cell research," said Wenbin Deng, principal investigator of the study and associate professor at the UC Davis Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine. "We have bioengineered the first generation of myelin-producing cells with superior regenerative capacity." The brain is made up predominantly of two cell types: neurons and glial cells. Neurons are regarded as responsible for thought and sensation. Glial cells surround, support and communicate with neurons, helping neurons process and transmit information using electrical and chemical signals. One type of glial cell the oligodendrocyte produces a sheath called myelin that provides support and insulation to neurons. Myelin, which has been compared to insulation around electrical wires that helps to prevent short circuits, … Continue reading

Scientists successfully grow 'mini-brains' from stem cells

Posted: Published on August 31st, 2013

Featured Article Academic Journal Main Category: Stem Cell Research Also Included In: Neurology / Neuroscience Article Date: 29 Aug 2013 - 2:00 PDT Current ratings for: Scientists successfully grow 'mini-brains' from stem cells 4.67 (3 votes) 3.67 (3 votes) Scientists have successfully grown complex human brain tissue from stem cells using a new 3D culture system, according to a study published in the journal Nature. Researchers from the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology (IMBA) at the Austrian Academy of Sciences (OeAW) say the newly created tissue could be the start of developing model systems for the human brain. The scientists began the research by using established human embryonic stem cell lines and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells from mouse embryonic fibroblasts. They identified growth conditions that helped the stem cells differentiate into a variety of brain tissues. The researchers used "media" for neuronal induction and differentiation, which allowed them to avoid "patterning growth factor conditions." They say that these conditions are usually applied to generate particular cell identities from stem cells. Dr. Jrgen Knoblich from the IMBA and lead study author explains the process: "We modified an established approach to generate so-called neuroectoderm, a cell layer from which the nervous system … Continue reading
