Meet the Cambridge Scientist Who could be on the Verge of Curing Multiple Sclerosis | The Hearty Soul

With Sue Metcalf and her team

A friend of mine set me the following link for this research that could be a potential cure for MS. Has any one heard or read about this scientist and her scientist’s work? What is your opinion of this research.

Below is a link:

theheartysoul.com/cambridge...

LIFNano's lead indication is to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a disabling incurable auto-immune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) commonly affecting young adults and involving 100,000 people in the UK alone. Inflammatory damage to the nerve's protective myelin sheath - demyelination - is the hallmark of MS that progressively or intermittently causes a wide range of symptoms as specific nerves become inflamed and lose function. Currently available therapies are mainly limited to immunosuppression and do not prevent progression of disease that is linked to the irreversible loss of nerves.

The LIFNano approach to MS provides therapeutic synergy for (i) suppression of auto-immune attack and (ii) repair of myelin within damaged CNS tissue.

Sounds great but will the drug companies try and block it because that’s where the money is.

Sounds like, once you get the treatment, your body takes over, and like in the local HVAC commercials, "It's done". For those of you reading this, there is a local HVAC/Plumbing/..company here in Chicagoland that has numerous TV commercials, One person always telling another, I had this problem, but I called XYZ. So the person being told, come up with, "So It's Done!" You are right. What's in it for the drug companies? They'd need a life contract? If you get this proprietary treatment from us, I will cost you $xxx for life? Don't think that would ever fly? Why not, just like all the temporary taxes we pay, every day forever? But, as ground breaking as this would be if it works, so would their special financing program? Or they need to first engineer in, a timing mechanism, requiring a reset every xxx? To continue their income steam.

I know the commercial cuz I’m here in Chgo. You’re right about the drug companies

This "news" is more than a year old. Friends who insist on sending you clickbait headlines screaming that the latest "MS cure is just around the corner" are an endless problem for most PwMS, no matter how well intentioned those friends might be. Many PwMS are already monitoring legitimate MS news sources and have mostly already heard about what ever supposed "miracle cure" is being sent to them. Clickbait headlines abound and are beloved by the lesser quality "news" sources.

Having said all that, the research itself is interesting, but it's not worth holding your breath waiting for it to turn into something that actually produces results in PwMS - that's likely to be some 10 or more years away, IF it turns out to work.

The research in the article appears to be in such an early stage that there isn't even a mention of it being tried in mice yet.........

I was just curious. This is how Ocrevus was publicly presented as the “new MS cure”, Even showing (on TV, in the US), a woman who had MS and hadn’t walked for 10+ years, and after she had taken Ocrevus, they stated she was now able to walk and cured of her MS, which was misleading. And it took almost 2-3 more years since they aired that news before the FDA approved this drug. This research is done in the UK and is not ready to be a product. I live in the US and never heard of it. Presently, for most of the legitimate DMTs, I am not a good candidate.

Yes. I know that my friends/relatives send me information because they care and know that I suffer. Sometimes the information they send is beneficial or interesting and at times it can be tiresome. I can choose to ignore the information or learn about it. I told my friend that I never heard about this research. I gathered from reading the information that was available, this research hasn’t had more significant development.

They are awaiting funding and hope to start clinical trials this year

That’s nice if it’s true. I don’t see big pharma wants a cure for anything it can make a buck “treating.”
