Safety Profile

Contraindications & Risks
High-dose biotin distorts lab results. Vitamin D above 4,000 IU a day only with a clinician checking blood levels. Omega-3 at higher doses can add to blood thinners. A new or worsening vision loss, weakness or numbness lasting more than 24 hours should go to your neurologist promptly
Important Notes

MS is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system damages myelin. Low vitamin D is strongly linked to MS risk and activity. Terry Wahls describes her own large improvement with her protocol, and small studies support better fatigue and quality of life. George Jelinek's Overcoming MS program has observational data linking it to better outcomes. Both diets are reasonable; choose the one that fits you. High-dose biotin looked promising early but failed in the larger SPI2 trial. LDN is widely used with mixed evidence. Heat can temporarily worsen symptoms, and stress is linked to relapses. Integrative care goes alongside disease-modifying therapy, which has the strongest evidence for reducing relapses and slowing disability.

About Evidence Score

The Evidence Score (0 to 100) rates the strength of evidence from studies in people for the uses listed: higher means stronger, more consistent research. It does not measure safety. It is not medical advice.

For education, not medical advice. Talk with a licensed clinician before you start, and never stop or change a prescribed medication without your prescriber.
