    Whilst this is an encouraging video as to the excellent work done by Dr Levin and his team, it is also a bit disingenuous. It’s not possible to be fully confident of the treatment being effective for everyone with MS or ALS until the trials have been done. The trials can take many years, some can take 15 years or even more. Also medications have to be approved and this can also take time. As someone with MS I sincerely hope Dr Levin has hit on the cause of MS and ALS and the way to prevent disease progression, but it might be along time before we can all be confident of this and see any treatment become widely available. I think perhaps not in time for me and others - being as how I’m sixty, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed for the future and for those children and young adults currently having to live with these awful diseases.

    Thank you Dr for everything you do. I have been diagnosed with MS since 2 years. My first relapse has left me permanently blind in my left eye, i am still in my 20s. This is such a scary disease that leaves me fearing another attack every day. I hope your trials are successful and that you can speed through them as quickly as (scientifically) possible. This would be a game changer for tens of millions of people. Thank you and I hope to be taking the medication soon :)

      @@martinschultz2631 currently on tecfidera - in the netherlands they still escalate and don't let you have the best medicine first for some reason. When I asked by neuro for ocrevus he proceeded to describe how someone died of it. and refused saying he would have to discuss internally with neurologists because it was a "strange request".. zero bedside manners. In my mind it isn't strange at all to want the best working medicine to prevent permanent damage and literal holes in my head.

As I may have mentioned, I was diagnosed in 1982, had multiple problems beginning in 1974 but was able to shrug those off. I’m quite aware of multiple sclerosis. I do have hope that there will come a time, a day when I’ll be able to feel “normal” again - there’s been so many years gone by I cannot recall what normal is. I’m 72. Many years have passed since my life was disrupted. I’d like to be normal before too many years elapse.
