I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1990 at the age of 21. My mobility had gradually got worse over the years and I used a wheelchair if I needed to travel any distance over 20'. I first read about Dr Amir in a 2009 online article in The Evening Standard, "How a dental brace could cure MS, migraines and paralysis” by Bella Freud.
http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/health/how-a-dental-brace-could-cure-ms-migraines-and-paralysis-6764060.html At the time I was reading about the discovery of CCSVI and the news from Italy that MS symptoms could be alleviated by a simple venous angioplasty of the Internal Jugular veins. All my energies for the next two years were spent on trying to arrange the trip and secure the funds necessary to be able to access the procedure abroad. (The procedure is not available to MS patients in the UK largely due to the stranglehold of pharmaceuticals on health who do not allow any non-drug based therapy to get approval or see the light of day.) I benefitted considerably from CCSVI treatment. Most other patients that I know have derived some benefit from this procedure. However disease mongering 'pharmaceutical agents' in league with disease mongering big pharma selling unproven drugs which have never ever cured even one patient which cost up to $400,000 per patient per year, with a mark up of up to 2 million percent, have the following to say about CCSVI in a recent drug pushing post: "Whilst there will be many MSers who will continue to believe or convince themselves about this aspect [CCSVI] it seems that this aspect has largely had its day . The question is......what's Next What does the MS medical community do about Physicians that offer these unsubstantiated treatments for financial gain..is this private practise or Fraud?” Yet in a contradicting article The Pathogenesis of Multiple Sclerosis Revisited http://www.rcpe.ac.uk/journal/issue/journal_32_4/3_pathogenesis_of_MS.pdf the author prints the following conclusion, "Multiple sclerosis remains a disease of unknown aetiology. In recent years, most researchers have uncritically accepted the hypothesis that it is an autoimmune disorder. An in-depth review of the literature failed to support this concept, and the immunological claims for this disease are tenuous and fragile. There is no one specific immunological abnormality found in MS that does not occur in patients with other diseases or in normal controls. The acceptance of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) as a model for MS is an unfortunate error that has its basis on faith rather than science. Whilst EAE is a good example of an experimental organ-specific autoimmune disorder in animals, it cannot be accepted as a model for MS for a wide variety of reasons. This is particularly important in relation to the development of MS pharmacotherapy. We have analysed the literature on immune-modifying therapy in MS and it is clear that none of these agents can qualify as a candidate therapy under scrutiny.” I wonder who is really perpetrating the fraud. I leave the reader to be the best judge. I had three rounds of venous angioplasty, the third had given me considerable benefit and more lasting results as far as balance, fatigue and cognition were concerned but I still experienced symptoms like L’Hermitte’s sign, numbness, neuralgic pain, muscle weakness etc. I decided to make an appointment to see whether my remaining symptoms might be helped by what Dr Amir had to offer. My first appointment with Dr Amir included an examination of my jaw plus a skeletal alignment assessment. He explained that I had asymmetries in my teeth, jaw, atlas and pelvis and that I did not have MS but a simple jaw problem that could be corrected and that I would be walking again. This news was obviously shocking and quite unbelievable having experienced 24 years of accumulating disability. I went home to mull over the news and study the paperwork. I realised I had nothing to loose so I decided to go for it. This was the best decision I ever made. After my assessment and fitting of a custom appliance I felt better almost immediately even before I got out of the chair. Dr Amir explained how to make the daily adjustments and instructed me to do some exercises. The first few days with my new brace proved to be nothing short of a miracle. For the first time in ten years I walked completely unsupported across my kitchen. My breathing was deeper and the numbness in my feet disappeared. After only 3 months I noticed that I no longer experienced electric shock sensations down my back every time I flexed my neck. L'Hermitte's Sign, a symptom previously attributed to a lesion on the dorsal column of the spinal cord had completely disappeared! Over the months my so-called 'MS' symptoms have faded away, one by one. My mobility is the only sign that I once had progressive MS and even that is still gradually improving. I have had other fleeting moments where I can walk normally and I have taken up exercising again to strengthen my muscles. Now, two years after starting treatment I remain symptom free and my jaw no longer gets locked open when I yawn. I still have some work to do to perfect my bite but I am getting there. Dr Amir is one of a kind. He listens to the patient and believes what they say. His treatment is logical and practical, his mind holistic and compassionate. Comments (2)

An example is Dimethyl Fumerate an antifungal in condemned Chinese sofas voted as the most allergenic molecule by the American Dermatological Association in 2011 - Now a block buster MS drug at $55,000 per year per patient!
This costs nothing, cannot cure or alleviate any symptom of 'MS' since 'MS' is not recognised as a fungal disease. It can only cause serious adverse reactions - and patients actually pay for it! - and the 'pharmaceutical agents' happily prescribe it to the unsuspecting. Comment (1)

Another example is Lemtrada (formerly known as alemtuzumab or Campath 1-H). This was formerly licensed as a drug to treat Leukaemia but was relaunched, rebranded and remarketed at twenty times the price as an MS drug.
