Medical Marijuana speech given by Multiple Sclerosis pot patient Tim Timmons inside the Texas Capital in Austin. In Texas, a medical marijuana patient, after arrest with the killer weed, cannot even speak in court to a jury of their medical condition. It is barred from evidence. In Texas, compassion is illegal and prisons are overcrowded by the hypocrisy of political puppets like John Cornyn and Jeb Hensarling – men who crucify Jesus Christ daily with their premeditated ignorance and bold faced lies. Let’s make science and compassion legal again. We have the ability to take back our country from those who have dishonored the party of Barry Goldwater and Theodore Roosevelt – and shamed America before the world. It’s our call.
A new drug could help treat the debilitating symptoms of early stage multiple sclerosis, according to latest research released on Thursday. (Oct. 23)
also Watch this it takes a few seconds to load. www.cbc.ca US scientists are testing a radical new theory that multiple sclerosis (MS) is caused by blockages in the veins that drain the brain. The University of Buffalo team were intrigued by the work of Italian researcher Dr Paolo Zamboni who claims 90% of MS is caused by narrowed veins. He says the restricted drainage, visible on scans, injures the brain leading to MS. He has already widened the blockages in a handful of patients. The US team want to replicate his earlier work before treating patients. Experts welcomed the research saying it was important to confirm the basic science before evaluating any therapy. MS is a long-term inflammatory condition of the central nervous system which affects the transfer of messages from the nervous system to the rest of the body. The Buffalo team, led by Dr Robert Zivadinov, plan to recruit 1100 patients with MS and 600 other volunteers as controls who are either healthy or have neurological diseases other than MS. Using Doppler ultrasound, they will scan the patients to see if they can find any blockages within the veins of the neck and brain. If they can prove Dr Zamboni’s theory of “chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency”, they say it will change our understanding of MS. Rewriting science Margaret Paroski, who is chief medical officer at Kaleida Health, where the Buffalo researchers are based, said the work could overturn prevailing wisdom that the damage in MS is …

After singing along to this song by Jordin Sparks I realised some of the lyrics reminded me of MS… MS is kind of like having a tattoo – it’ll always be there… we’ve got to learn to live with it… (hopeul for a cure though!!) So I decided to make a video to show my thoughts using the song and some pictures! (PS all the pictures of tattoos are ‘photoshopped’ by me!) UPDATE: since putting this video on here and listening to the song more and more, the more the lyrics remind me of MS, please ignore the orange/white connection with the lyrics and just kind of look at the pictures and all of the lyrics. pretty much every part of this song makes so much sense. and also please join my facebook group: “I have Multiple Sclerosis and I’m Fabulous!” www.facebook.com because we are

Janice Dean talked about her condition on Fox & Friends this morning.
Update from Tricia September 17, 2008: Thank you all for your kind and encouraging words! When I hear how my story has touched people around the world, I can’t believe it! When the National MS Society put together and posted the video, I was shocked at the response. Now, three years later, people are still watching it, forwarding it and commenting on it – wow! My son Jake will be 15 this year, he still loves playing baseball and is a freshman in High School. He helps raise money and awareness for our annual Walk MS event, and this year he’s riding in the Bike MS Tour, all to help create a world free of multiple sclerosis. He is my inspiration and I thank God for him every day! I have good and bad days, but am blessed with family, friends and doctors who support me. I will continue to fight for a cure with my continued dedication through volunteerism and fundraising. I know I speak for many when I say I want to live in a world free of MS. With Hope and Love, Tricia Chandler
In this video I share a brief overview of MS. Today is World MS Day 2010 (May 26th) please enjoy and if you are new to MS and/or have no knowledge be enlightened.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
May 21
-CNS=Central Nervous System -Multiple sclerosis (abbreviated MS, also known as disseminated sclerosis or encephalomyelitis disseminata) is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system, leading to demyelination. Disease onset usually occurs in young adults, and it is more common in women. It has a prevalence that ranges between 2 and 150 per 100000. MS was first described in 1868 by Jean-Martin Charcot. MS affects the areas of the brain and spinal cord known as the white matter, destroying a fatty layer called the myelin sheath, which wraps around nerve fibers and electrically insulates them. When myelin is lost, the axons of neurons can no longer effectively conduct action potentials. The name multiple sclerosis refers to the scars (scleroses better known as plaques or lesions) in the white matter. Although much is known about the mechanisms involved in the disease process, the cause remains unknown. Theories include genetics or infections. Different environmental risk factors have also been found. Almost any neurological symptom can appear with the disease, and often progresses to physical and cognitive disability. MS takes several forms, with new symptoms occurring either in discrete attacks (relapsing forms) or slowly accumulating over time (progressive forms). Between attacks, symptoms may go away completely, but permanent neurological problems often occur, especially as the disease advances. There is no known cure for MS …
