For Teri:  My daughter reads the CS list and has MS.  She gradually increased 
her consumption of CS until she was drinking about a gallon per day.  She did 
have a couple of episodes when she felt really good and had her balance, but it 
only lasted a few days.  In researching other alternative treatments we found a 
yahoo chat group for MS'ers using low dose naltrexone for a variety of 
diseases, including cancer, MS, arthritis, etc.  She got a prescription for it 
from the Dr. who has done more than 30 yrs research and has not seen any 
further deterioration in her condition.  I would recommend you and your friends 
look into this, as it is inexpensive.  Since my daughter seems to be in 
remission, ldn has enabled us to examine other treatments, such as diet, 
supplements, eft and so on as we search for a key to her complete recovery.  
Hope this helps.......Betty
