#ms research

A new study from UCSF is turning heads — researchers may have found a way to ease symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) without needing to follow the strict keto diet. It all started with an experiment on mice, a special compound, and some surprising help from gut bacteria. The results? Pretty amazing. Could this discovery lead to a new, easier treatment for MS and other autoimmune diseases? The…

MS Focus on Research for November

This month they had a few interesting articles on new MS research I thought I’d enclose.

A new study shows an overlooked source may be able to replace lost nerve insulation and provide a new way to treat multiple sclerosis. The discovery of mature myelin-producing cells’ capacity for repair opens new opportunities to slow or reverse the disease.…

My New Year strength list

It is Rosh Hashanah today, the Jewish New Year. I am actually participating with my family and going to my brother in-laws family. I have to admit, I haven’t been doing the big Jewish family dinners lately. My brother in-law’s family have been opening their home to us for the past 15 years. They are wonderful people. I think, for me, part of what makes it slightly difficult is one of his cousins…

ARfm – Steve Price Rock Show – Saturday 19 Nov 16

Steve Price Rock Show as broadcast on ARfm Saturday 19th November 2016 including the new charity single to raise money for MS Research!

Inmiddels zijn we alweer ruim een maand terug. Tijd om het laatste bericht op deze blog te schrijven. De bankrekening hadden we nog een maand opengelaten en dat was zeker niet voor niets. Ook in oktober werden nog bedragen op de rekening gestort. Het eindresultaat mag er zeker zijn, bijna EUR 6.000,00! Dat is een prachtig bedrag waarvoor we onze sponsoren meer dan dankbaar zijn. Inmiddels hebben we een cheque goed voor EUR 3.000,00 overhandigd aan MS Research en is nog eens EUR 3.000,00 overgemaakt naar KWF. Dat beide stichtingen iedere euro goed kunnen gebruiken is een overbodige opmerking. Vanzelfsprekend mogen wij namens deze stichtingen alle sponsoren bedanken. 

You have no idea how happy this message has made me in now knowing that the @scorpion4ms​ project is actually touching people’s lives. :) As of right now, we’ve raised almost $300 (which is awesome), and we HOPE to raise even more by the end of S2. Our goal is $10,000, and you’re right; every cent HELPS in every little way. I’ve seen fandoms raise thousands of dollars for other causes to support characters or actors/actresses with illnesses so I KNOW Team Scorpion is capable of being just as AMAZING. :) 

Thank you, thank you for your kind words, and I really do hope doctors discover a cure for MS one day. For every illness, actually. Donating money to fund MS Research is a generous way for people, who aren’t doctors or scientists or are unable to contribute other ways for finding a cure for MS, to help those who can perform the research and conduct the tests. 

Maybe one day MS and other illnesses WILL be curable, and when that happens, lives will be changed spectacularly. 

Again, thank you so much for your messages. :) They really made my day. 

I’d like to personally thank @katharinemcpheefan​ who made this project a possibility for making the first donation, @cckia27​ for designing the artwork and @webuiltthepyramids​ for spreading more awareness and for wanting to be a part of this project. And I would also like to thank the Cyclone for participating and donating to this cause.
