Help to relieve the MS symptoms, please.

It is possible but only on a constitutional basis . which means asking lots of questions to match him to a specific remedy.
The problem with MS is that you never know if an improvement is simply a remission or due to the treatment .

Again it is not easy because you need to get remedies matched to your character and to whatever symptoms there are.
So effectively you need a good homeopath who has a reputation for curing people --- of anything.
Ask around in your area.
Good Luck.

I doubt that homeopathy cannot cure MS.
Best of Luck.

Lathyrus, Conium and other remedies are all helpful in MS - it is usually best to be seeing a homeopath near to you for support and encouragement as well as advice.
Hope these notes below may help:-
Lathyrus sat. - MS with absent or increased reflexes
Oxytropis - MS with lost reflexes
Cicuta virosa - MS severe, relapsing, electric shock sensations.
sarcolactic acid -MS

APITHERAPY-bee stings (!) is said to do wonders for ms.

Of course remove all toxins from closest environment

Essential fatty acids are important here-look up dr Johanna Budwig on the Internet

Water therapy may be beneficial: upon awakening let him drink about 1,5 liters of pure spring water (never distilled)-in about 10 minutes (! in time he will be able to do it)
Wait 1,5 hrs with breakfast.

Along with everything else mentioned here, there is one common mental string that all MS patients have: a need to control themselves, others and their environment. Of course, the real world is impossible to control and, thus, the fight begins within their mind. As long as they believe that control is attainable, they will not get well. They must come to a place of accepting the flow of life and to "Let Go and Let God." Not just say it but REALLY MEAN IT. When they can clearly acknowledge their need to control and release that in-born knee jerk reaction, they can jumpstart their recovery and remission. Remember that the MS patient's need to control is seen in their illness: they lose control over their body and must have all around them at their beck and call to assist them, thus attaining the supreme control they wanted in the first place! This then turns into such an angry dance with family members becoming resentful and then guilty because they feel they aren't doing enough. A terrible round robin of emotion. Deal with the patient's anger motivation and their need to make others their "slaves" and do it through vibrational essences (flowers and gem elixirs) and you can soften their edge and allow greater wisdom to enter their psyche.

Control freaks often need arsenic alb.

But I dont really see that here.

MS is so tricky. It must be so customized as far as the homepathic remedy. If Ars. alb doesn't fit, then I say look to other remedies that have been useful and see if the mental profile fits any underlying control-related issues. In other words, is the need to control from a childhood in which a mother or father demanded perfection? Or is the need to control from a past that was chaotic and, thus, the control is a way of finding sanity amidst the chaos? Without seeing this man and hearing him, it's hard to make as assessment. I have had "luck" with only one MS patient and that woman bravely took on her emotional demons, faced her in-bred need to dominate and has resolved a lot of her anger. She also completely changed her life. Went from a high powered executive job to a part time sales position, moved from the city to the country and lives in a daily "grateful" state of consciousness. MS is so tough to conquer but, I say that and I think that I don't want this woman who started this post to feel like all hope is lost because it is not. I know from experience that it's hard to make your spouse see their shortcomings and how those shortcomings are contributing to their mental and physical ill health.

reffering back to astra's questionnaire - were there any vaccinations that could have caused a problem?

Is there a history of ingesting ANYTHING in DIET form????????? Aspartame causes a condition like MS.

Blessings, Sabra
