I have found out that Green Tea extract is BETTER than drinking that watery
green tea stuff. They published a studyshowing that it causes higher
concentrations ie better bioavailibility in body fluids. I posted it
somewhere .. maybe not here.

I try to lower a whole bunch of things especially MMP-9s , il-12, il-6,
Gamma Interferon, NO, ROs etc etc

The MMP-9s do the ACTUAL damage ie make hole in BBB Blood Brain Barrier and
let other characters in to dine on your myelin. In fact the MMP-9s cut the
myelin into three specific components that thes folks find easy to
digest.MMOP-9s do some good in the myelin repair area .. so as ED Hill would
say it is not nice to shut them down completely. Just lowering all these
characters a TAD is a good idea.

A LOT of other things that have been fould to help MS folks also lower
MMP-9s.

Here is a partial list.


http://home.ix.netcom.com/~jdalton/Yongrev.pdf This is study showing
damage MMP-9s do... see figure 2 on page 505 and related info on this page.




I believe in taking a variety of things that reduce MMP-9s. I do not believe
that taking a HUGE amount of any ONE is a good idea because it could trigger
an immune system reaction or just upset stomach.


Things that reduce MMP-9s (AKA gelatinase B)

VIT D3 .................................REDUCES MMP-9s

RESVERATROL (Grape Skin Extract) ...REDUCES MMP-9s

GREEN TEA EXTRACT(EGCGs)... REDUCES MMP-9s

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID (R-lipoic/ R-Dihdro-LipoicAcid) ... REDUCES MMP-9s

NAC N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine .......REDUCES MMP-9s

STATIN DRUGS (i.e Zocor) .....REDUCES MMP-9s

Omega-3s (ie Fish oil) ...........REDUCES MMP-9s

Minocycline/Doxycycline.........REDUCES MMP-9s

Curcumin.............................REDUCES MMP-9s

Pycnogenol (Pine bark extract)..REDUCES MMP-9s

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) and CS plus glucosamine sulfate (GS) ..REDUCES
MMP-9s

Interferon Betas 1a/1b...........REDUCES MMP-9

(Steriods also return MMP-9s to normal levels but they are not something
that should be taken on a frequent basis)
