Current research on curry spice and multiple sclerosis?
Understand that this information is very, very preliminary, and researchers don't understand the mechanism by which this works.
Researchers noted that the incidence of neurological impairment in elderly Indian populations was very slight, and started investigating their diets to find links to prevention of MS. Curcumin was also recently identified as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, effective in wound healing. And just last fall, researchers at UCLA reported that curcumin appeared to slow the progression of Alzheimer's in mice.
A recent study has found that giving injections of 50- and 100-microgram doses of curcumin (a curry compound) to a group of mice bred to develop a disease called experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) slowed down their progression of the disease. EAE is similar to MS and is used as a model for MS research.
Researchers administered the doses three times a week over a 30-day trial. By day 15, mice who had not received curcumin developed EAE to such an extent that they displayed complete paralysis of both hind limbs. Mice given the 50-microgram dose showed only minor symptoms, such as a temporarily stiff tail. And mice given the 100-microgram dose appeared completely unimpaired throughout the 30 days of the study.
How does Multiple Sclerosis react to LDN?
LDN can help multiple sclerosis. It can also treat numerous other disorders. It was first used on people with AIDS. A recent study showed improvement in people's health when using LDN.

Is there any real cure for someone with MS and Crohns other than Pentasia and Pentasa?
A View From An Actual Crohn's Patient
NO
Crohn's is not curable, doctors do not hold out nor hide the magic cure that some tout as available but "not yet approved" but will sell you the secret for a price. At present doctors can only help alleviate the symptoms, encourage remission and continue to research a cure. Pentasa is an Aminosalicylate (5-asa) including Sulfasalazine,dipentum and colazal. They are one way to help but there are other drug treatments.
Immune Modifiers such as Azathioprine (Imuran) and 6-MP (Purinethol) that help heal fistula's and maintain disease remission.
Corticosteroids like Prednisone and methylprednisolone non specifically suppress the immune system. Temporary but effective.
Since 1998 new biologic therapies have been approved. Infliximab (Remicade) is used for severe active Crohn's and is given by infusion. Very promising and only one of the newly researched biologic treatments.
As for the MS, many of the treatment for Crohn's are similar to the treatments for MS exacerbations (flare-ups) but with a few extra's.
Avonex (interferon beta-1a) Betaseron (interferon beta-1b)
glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) and Novantrone are all good reliable drugs used to treat inflamation in the central nervous system slowing or blocking nerve impulses.
These are many of the other drugs used. If Pentasa has not or is no longer offering relief, discuss your options with your doctors.

What does it mean when you have burning sensation?
I recently had a burning feeling on the back of my right hand too, but directly after I noticed a golf ball sized purple lump appear which scared me. It appeared I had burst a vein in my hand. ( there are many diff. kinds and sizes of blood vessels that can break) It happened again 2 weeks later but this time on my arm. This time I went to the ER. My blood pressure was 170 over 120....way to high. I am seeing a couple specialists about it this week.
For me, the burning sensation was my veins bursting I guess. I would advise you to be aware of anything like I mentioned, and get it checked out. Good luck!
Does herpes has to do with ms?
Herpes and MS are not related.
How ever if some one does have MS and herpes, then their immune system can be lowered or stress could be causing break outs or more freequent break outs.
Can people be infected with multiple sclerosis?
No, it is a genetic disorder. Actually, it's an autoimmune disorder, although people may have a genetic predisposition for getting MS. You can't catch it, but sometimes an infection (or any other type of stress to the body) can be the trigger which allows it to start.
Is there a risk of spinal stenosis surgery with Multiple Sclerosis?
These are two different problems. Multiple Sclerosis is where areas in the brain and spinal cord lose their protein insulation, and Spinal stenosis is where there is an encroachment on the cord, usually occurring in the lower back area. This is to say that (most likely) arthritis occurs at the end plate (extreme bottom, or top of vertebrae, and the adding on of new bone to those areas causes the spinal canal to become smaller, eventually resulting in pressure on the spinal cord.
