A member asked:
Can myelin injection treat ms, since the immune system is attacking myelin sheeth adding myelin in blood will keep wbc away from the nerves ,right?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Practicalities: First, do you or anyone close to you have MS? Secondly, where did you read about myelin injections, as this is scientifically inappropriate and unsound, and has NO conceivable role in legitimate treatment of a rather bad disease? Lots of opinions regarding MS on the internet, so, be very skeptical.
