How do you like MSNews?
I love the site - but especially like the subscription service distributing news and updates and sometimes random information about MS, research and developments in the medical and pharma worlds.
I especially like the pledge of unbiased information - I think Art and company do a great job of trying to live that pledge.
There are so many other sites and sources of information out there about this condition, and often one finds that they are sponsored by or promoting a for profit agenda -
I find Accelerated Cure to be the best aggregator of relevant and unbiased information I have come across and I frequently share and suggest others in similar circumstance to visit the site.
I also think that it is valuable to follow the discussions that sometimes spin off of stories reported via MS News stories. It seems that there has been growing interest in this over the past year.
I am not sure how it could be done, but fostering more of these kinds of exchanges would be valuable as a means of connecting MSers and other interested parties with each other.
Thanks Art and company - you do a great job!

I couldn't have said it better than you did! Now that I'm retired, I have been able to spend more time just browsing (surfing?) through what's available on the internet that's MS-related. This is the best site that I've found.
I agree too that connecting MSers with one another through sites like this is important. I recently discovered another site that seems to hold promise for this kind of exchange. Haven't spent a lot of time on it yet, but you might want to check it out:

I pick and choose from any findings that might help improve the Swank diet that I follow. Some things have been really helpful and anything about drug progress I'll skip.
Once I chose to chamge my diet, I've stuck to it because it has really helped. I've had MS at least at 31 and was diagnosed at 52. Now I'm 67 and still poking away at the diet as better foods and recipes become available.
Thanks for all the tidbits that awnser questions and solve problems.

I like how you cull information from many different sources, and let other people add more information as well. But as an overall, and quite extensive site on MS, I still very much like Cowboy's site (www.mult-sclerosis.org). Unfortunately the site seems to have been recently permanently disbanded. I forgot the gentleman's name, but he was a longtime MS sufferer from the UK. The site went over extensive amounts of explanation of physiology, mechanics of MS, MS research, new and existing therapies--whether they be allopathic or otherwise and much more. I found your site a few years ago (about 4 or 5 months after it was created), because "Cowboy" hadn't added any NEW news stories in a long time. I still think your site is very good though. As a researcher, I have access to a lot more information than the average person on the street. One of the reasons I like to help by submitting pertinent information when I can.
