Carlos, forty-three, came to see me in June 2014. He needed a cane to stand and had episodes of feeling as if his legs wouldn’t work and that he could lose his balance easily. When I asked him about his medical history, he told me about one morning back in 1998 when he woke up feeling “drunk and dizzy.” When we went to see a neurologist, an MRI scan of his brain was performed, but the results came back as normal. Carlos remained unsteady for the next two weeks and then began to feel better. Two weeks after that, while exercising he felt as if ants were crawling down his back. His vision blurred and, hoping to find another opinion about his symptoms, he went to see a naturopath. That’s when he began taking various nutritional supplements and indeed he felt a little better thereafter.
Three years later he had the sudden onset of “numbness in both legs from the waist down.” Again he was given a new round of nutritional supplements and after three more months, he felt somewhat improved. Two years later he had another episode and this similarly resolved itself with more supplements. In 2010, however, he began noticing a progressive decline in his balance and, despite various nutritional supplements, his deterioration continued-rapidly. By 2014, Carlos went through more tests with a neurologist, including another MRI scan of his brain. And this time, his results revealed aggressive abnormalities, especially in the deep white matter of his brain seen in both hemispheres and even in the brainstem. These findings, in addition to abnormalities noted in an MRI of his cervical spine, a lumbar puncture, and electrical testing results, all pointed to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
I explained to Carlos that we now understand the role of gut bacteria in modulating the immune system, and that recent animal research clearly had identified changes in gut bacteria as possibly playing an important role in this disease. I then offered a plan of action, telling him that I wanted to start a program of probiotic enemas. He agreed without hesitation, administering probiotic-filled enemas two to three times each week. Two weeks later, I received a phone call from him. He indicated that he was walking more comfortably and had now gone for days without the use of a cane! One month later we spoke on the phone again. He was continuing his probiotic enemas three times weekly and felt that he had “stabilized.”
At that point I discussed with him the idea of rebuilding a healthy gut population through a revolutionary new procedure called fecal microbial transplantation, or FMT, and he agreed to do so (it’s currently not available in the U.S. for treating MS). He chose a clinic in England where the procedure is routinely performed on an array of immune and inflammatory problems. Before he left, I asked Carlos to carefully chronicle his experience in a journal and report back to me.
One month after Carlos returned from England we again spoke on the phone. He reported that after his second treatment with fecal transplantation (he received a total of 10) he noted that his walking was dramatically improved and that it remained that way. He told me, “I am walking so well that other people don’t know there is anything wrong.”

Yes, get the rhythm going and swing the arm, it'll help keep you steady. Don't walk near a cop or a mugger or you will be singled out. Lastly, Don't forget you are loved.

Good walking bro 👏 Look for exercises for activating glutes and ankle muscles . I had this exact same problem. And then I learned and activated my ankles first, then glutes. And was walking normally within a week!!! No joke

I am just wondering - since attending a driver's ed class with my teen at a library - the class was run by a police officer. After attending the class for teen drivers, I am sure that cops do NOT take into account the many different diseases and medical issues involved with speech and balance, and walking. SAD TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE PEOPLE POLICE OFFICERS GIVE DUI TICKETS TO.

They may not be required to give a breathalyzer test before giving a DUI. You don't just pay any fine you get. People, take every ticket to court, if you have the time. If you plead not guilty, you might just take a drivers' course and get no adjudication (nothing on your record, no fine, and the class may not count toward a maximum times you can take it). Check your state law. If you go before a judge or jury, you will have the chance to give evidence of disease. Cops are not equipped to judge that and should not be required to look at your evidence of disease, if you just happen to have it. Take the ticket with a smile and plead not guilty.

@@FrankDiPietra I'm sorry to see that your attitude is pessimistic. If you practice noticing kindness, compassion, love, and helpfulness of people, you will begin to notice more and more of that. Whatever you put your mind on, without contradicting what you wish to see, you will draw to your life. Change, "Most people have no heart," to, "Most people have kind hearts." "I notice people seem to be growing in compassion." I really do. We're going into New Earth, now, so that is not surprising. This is not a religious thing. It's an Earth phenomenon, brought on by our becoming more loving since WWII. Instead of being wiped out after 12/2012, we've gone into ascension...increasing levels of consciousness.
