Our OPC-3 (antioxidant) product is just amazing! Just found this get MS testimonial were it helped LAURIE KARAGAS husband and daughter. MS TESTIMONY FROM LAURIE KARAGAS I have been asked by several people to present a MS Testimony. I have decided to give you our story since our MS experience has been quite detailed. Mothers Day, 1987, my husband woke up legally blind - went to bed fine, but didnt wake up that way. After visiting many physicians, a neuro-opthomologist diagnosed his condition as Optic Neuritis (one of the initial symptoms of MS). It wasnt until 1989 that he was Officially diagnosed with MS. At that time, we were very fortunate to become involved with one of, if not the top, Worlds Leading Researchers in MS. We have been in this research program since. My husband has been through about everything you can imagine with MS. His medications have included steroids (oral and intravenous), chemotherapys, IVIG, plasma phoresis, and a broad spectrum of other medications for muscle, bladder, dizziness, pain, numbness, coordination .... you name it, weve tried it. The Interferons: Well, Beta-Interferon - that was actually developed using my husbands blood (along with others who were in the research program too); in addition, Avonex and Copaxone ... same thing. Considering everything, my husbands story is amazing. His MS is Chronic Progressive and became very aggressive in the late 90s - to the point of requiring treatments 4-6 times a year. It was during this time that OPC-3 came into play. In April of 1998, my husband had a severe MS attack which left him unable to stand or feed himself. The prognosis: He would recover, perhaps not totally, but his condition would improve - but not to expect ANY improvements for 2-3 months. Now, you must understand that this was quite a devastating blow because his physicians are not just your run of the mill neurologists AND they have always been right at their predictions. When they say 2 weeks, its 2 weeks. So the prognosis of no improvement for 2-3 months was rough. About 6 months prior to April, he also completely stopped driving because his vision had become so bad that he couldnt see well enough at any point in the day. Several neuro-opthomologists told him that the scar tissue on his optic nerve was permanent and irreversible and could deteriorate further with each attack. Not good news. He had approximately 6 diagnosed episodes of Optic Neuritis at this point. In April, 1998, a friend of ours gave us an entire case of OPC-3 for him to take. I was totally against it. I did not believe in it, I didnt want him to take it. However, when the case arrived, I gave him the box and told him Do what you want with it .... I wouldnt take it ... and DONT give it to our daughter (she had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia at the NIH - National Institute of Health). Well, against my cautioning (thank God!) he took it and also gave it to our daughter. Heres what happened .....5 weeks later he was back at work, full time, with No disabilities. Our daughter went from taking Darvocet and Hydrocodone just to be able to walk and was only able to go to school one full day a week (if she was lucky), to taking NO medications and living normally! Was I convinced...somewhat. I still didnt know if it was the OPC-3 OR just time for the illnesses to go into remission. So, naturally, we tested it. They went off the OPC-3. Mistake! Both began to deteriorate within 3 days. So they went back on and did great. We tried this about 5 times and I can assure you - Make NO mistake about it - IT WORKS! Before OPC-3 his vision was so poor, with no chance for improvement. Yet, in December of 98, the neuro-opthamologist said his vision was correctable too! It had not been that good in over 9 years! He went from having 4-6 MS attacks a year to having one the next year! God is Great! Did I tell his doctors? Well, at first I thought Oh My Goodness, how the heck am I going to tell them hes taking this Stuff? Then, I was reading the Oxygen Plus spec sheets and right there in front of me was a paragraph written by one of my husbands doctors stating that antioxidants were good for MS. Well, I knew that since our physicians team had already researched it, I would not have a problem telling him. When we saw his specialist in December of 98, the doctor looked me straight in the eyes and said Laurie, make sure he NEVER misses a day of it. Done! said the once doubting one! So whats life like now? Well, MS is a rough illness. There are many peaks and valleys, but hey, my husband works full time, does most things any husband does and if you saw him, you would never know he had MS. Yes, he has symptoms he must deal with on a daily basis and life is very rough sometimes, but he is LIVING his life as any other person! All this and once upon a time we were told that there is no medical explanation of why he can walk - he should be in a wheelchair at best! The point is, OPC-3 may not be a cure, but its a chance - a chance for the ability to function as a normal person .. that is ... by the Grace of God. Laurie Karagas Garrison, NY
