MS Therapy Centres are the first line of defense against the progression of Multiple Sclerosis

Our Mission
We are a Jersey based charity whose aim is to provide High Dosage Oxygen Treatment to sufferers of Multiple Sclerosis and others who may benefit from this type of treatment. We also offer advice and support to MSers and their families about managing MS, not MS managing you!

MS Diet and alternative therapies are among the topics we discuss and encourage.

The Jersey MS Therapy Centre was formerly known as Jersey Friends of ARMS, we have been a Registered Charity in Jersey since 1987, the date when the Centre was opened. We have no full or part time paid staff, we rely on voluntary helpers to run the centre which is funded by a minimal charge to MSers who use our facilities and fund raising activities. All funds raised remain in Jersey to benefit people with MS here and now.

We believe that help is required as soon as someone is diagnosed to help slow the progression of the disease and to help maintain quality of life.

We must make it clear that the Jersey Multiple Sclerosis Society do not support our aims and objectives (this was made clear at the Jersey MS Society 2003 AGM in response to a question from Colin Russell) and therefore we are on a seperate path with regard to how people with MS should be treated.

We beleive that as much as possible should be provided to give people with MS an informed choice of the options and benefits of those options on offer in Jersey.

If you are as bewildered by this as we are, please contact a committee member of the Jersey Multiple Scelerosis Society for their views.

Please browse through our website for any information that may be of use to you. In our experience we hope to dispel the negative views held by certain members of the medical profession who, through their training, will only accept findings of "clinical trials". From "clinical trials", selected negative points are always highlighted, not the positive ones and in doing so have denied the sufferer a balanced view and freedom of choice in receiving possible beneficial treatment at the earliest time when diagnosed.

High Dosage Oxygen & Best Bet Diet Combo Treatment

Throughout these webpages reference is made to Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) breach in the description of the cause of MS and the effectiveness of the Best Bet Diet in tackling it. High Dosage Oxygen Treatment tackles the same problem (BBB breach) and is very effective on its own. Combining both forms of treatment can be of greater benefit. Both forms of treatment compliment each other and boosts the effectiveness required to combat Multiple Sclerosis. That is not to say that each treatment as a stand alone form of treating MS is less effective, it just gives you that bit extra that we all need.

No reference is made in Tim Stout's or Ashton Embry's excellent articles to the use or value of HDOT in tackling BBB breach, nor can I find any reference to Best Bet Diet and supplements in any articles about HDOT. A program of combined treatment should be considered for any trials to have the maximum effect to combat Multiple Sclerosis. Until then, please consider trying it out for yourselves. It is your body, your choice.

This combination of treatment could also be beneficial to other neurological illness as Blood Brain Barrier breach/compromise has also been found. The Blood Brain Barrier encapsulates the whole brain, the location or site of the BBB breach could determine the effect on the brain and the consequent illness that the person then suffers from. In the case of Multiple Sclerosis, that would explain why no two people are alike in the way that they are affected by MS. The BBB breach location and severity could well pre-determine the onset and progression of the disease.

Once the BBB has been breached/compromised in one location/site, then that is where the entrance to the sensitive tissue remains to be attacked repeatedly. The foundation stone of all this is poor/western diet causing leaky gut syndrome which in turn causes BBB breach, which then results in a neurological illness of some description.

Based on the above hypothesis, the Best Bet Diet and High Dosage Oxygen Therapy could be used to treat a wide range of illnesses. To strengthen the BBB could have the effect of slowing down the progression of Multiple Sclerosis and to do this you will need to challenge what caused the breach in the first place..your diet! Use HDOT as an extra building block to help heal the damage caused and you will have a powerful combined force to combat your illness.

Oxygen to reduce inflammation.
During an MS attack there is typically substantial inflammation at the location where the lymphocytes are destroying the myelin. There is some indication that myelin could have a tendency to reform after the attack were it not for the scar tissue left behind. There is also indication that the scar tissue is formed because of the inflammation. Hence, if one could reduce the level of inflammation during an attack, it may be possible to reduce the long-range impact of the attack. Much about this is speculative and not well documented.

Several studies have been made concerning the effectiveness of drugs that typically reduce inflammation, but their effectiveness has not been encouraging. That does not necessarily mean that the concept is invalid, it could merely be that the particular drugs tested happened to be ineffective at an MS site, whereas a different one might yet prove to be effective.

Oxygen is the most effective anti-inflammatory available.
