SAMe and remyelinization

Have researched Sam-e but never read anything about remylenation (sp). Just supposed to increase mood due to lack of Sam-e in our systems. It also has a nasty side effect of stomach upset in a lot of people, hopefully not you. Hubby gave it a try for a bit but was unable to tolerate the stomach upset. Did nothing for his mood.

[FONT=”Microsoft Sans Serif”]there is no definitive research published on the matter, that i know of. i have a neurologist ex, go figure, and she works in biotech– she told me about it when i 1st became sick with cidp. she stated that there is nothing published but that it did indeed help to regenerate nerves. here are a few abstracts that point in that direction but as you will see, S-adenosylmethionine isn’t the intended subject:

unfortunately, i’m one of those who cannot tolerate it due to a sensitive tummy– [B]but[/B], they do now have enteric coated capsules that are supposed to make a difference.[/FONT]

check walgreens.com often. They have sales on it, sometimes 2 for 1 and you can also sign up at the Nature made website for coupons and special offers to combine with the sales. They also offer an incentive program for “prizes”. I almost have enough points to get my yoga or pilates dvd!

Also, if you are up to it, you can try colostrum from New Zealand. I took that and added Arabinogalactan when I first got sick (along with exta B vitamins). Do some research on the colostrum because it is a growth hormone and I have read that there is some risk to people prone to breast, lung or testicular cancers. I know when I took it, my hair grew like crazy, I felt better, and honestly think it helped keep me out of the ICU, or maybe I really am THAT stubborn. There is some research that is helps heal nerve injuries. I am not a doctor, I just do a ton of research and have tried a lot of things. If I could afford it, I would give it another round. They say 8 weeks to see a change. The arabinogalactan is a great immune booster. It also helps regulate an overactive immune system. Just a thought to consider.

Also take into consideration Low T. I know it is the Buzz Word of the day, but hey ya never know. There are natural ways to take care of that as well without shots and driving your family crazy with testosterone side effects.

Just wanted to give you some alternative ideas to research.
