GENERAL QUESTIONS:
1. Why are there differences between the first published version of Dr.Klenner’s protocol, and the suggestion in this website?
Dr. Klenner’s original protocol was very extensive, and many patients were unable to tolerate it, and therefore gave up. Dale Humpherys was of those who couldn’t take everything due to the tremendous amounts of acidic vitamins (which were the form in which they were made then ), plus finding, as many did, that the terrible stomach problems that taking all of these induced, made it impossible to take them all. For these patients, he used a modified therapy, which contained the required nutrients for a full recovery. Now, newer formulations of vitamins have come. The help of several orthomolecular doctors adding the newest discoveries that added to the positive results achieved by the original protocol, gave the chance to have a program that is easy to take, as efficient. It addresses the newest discoveries, resulting in an effective treatment without some of the dangers that were stopping people from being able to take the first published protocol. Niacin IV injections for example, which can cause anaphylaxis. This makes it impossible to find anyone to give it to the patients when they arrived home, due to legal issues.
2. Why should I drink at least 8 glasses of water with this treatment?
6 to 8 glasses of water daily is considered adequate to flush out the system, and keep properly hydrated which is a must, and if weather is hot, or you are beginning to do exercise, more is robbed from the system through dehydration. Besides, don’t forget that most of the protocol’s vitamins are water soluble and need adequate amounts of water for better utilization. It would be better to prefer alkaline water due to it’s antioxidant and hydration properties.
3. Is it okay if I apply the protocol with other natural or conventional treatments?
It is NOT advised to mix treatments. Try any treatments that you wish, and if not satisfied with the results, follow the Klenner protocol exclusively. This is a "stand alone therapy".
4. Can I follow one of the basic steps of the protocol or at least two steps and leave one out?
The essential ingredients for reversing MS are Thiamine HCL (B1), and liver extract by injection DAILY. The oral vitamins are equally important and will hasten recovery but if you are unable to tolerate one (which is very unusual) of them some may be reduced. Best results are obtained by taking everything suggested, in the amounts suggested.
5. When will I see the first improvement after starting the protocol?
Some patients notice improvement within the first month that they begin the injections, others take longer. Recovery depends on how much damage the disease has caused to your nerve tissues the personal individualities of each case and how carefully you follow the protocol. This is healing, and healing takes time to begin to show results, however, many feel so much better just by the lifting of the fatigue, and the strength that this gives them, that they are willing to wait for the increasing disappearance of symptoms. Stick with the protocol and don’t spend your energy doubting for the near future.
6. Someone I know had a much quicker response to the treatment than me. Why?
As above.
7. Does the Klenner protocol cure MS?
There is no cure for MS because the damage to the cells of the central nervous system is permanent which prevents a normal level of metabolites in the cells. HOWEVER, the Klenner protocol increases the level of these nutrients required for normal metabolism to continue which over a period of time will reverse the disease and result in myelin regeneration and a permanent remission. There are many symptom free cases, two of them are on the testimonials page of this website. See Dale Humpherys, Paul Ferrari.
8. I am applying the protocol for more than one year without ANY result. What should I do?
There have been far more patients that have stopped the protocol, thinking that they have had no improvements, only to find that within a short time, many "forgotten" symptoms come rushing back to them, only to have them anxiously rush back onto the protocol.
VITAMINS
1.After a long time, I don’t get the flush from the 100 mg. of niacin. What do I do?
You will eventually build up a tolerance to niacin at 100 mg. twice weekly. When this occurs, it is safe to raise the dose to 50 mg. at a time until you get the flush again.
The reason we start on a low dose, and take it on an empty stomach, which is a much lower dose than is suggested by most labels, is that this keeps the ability to flush going for much longer, allowing you to graduate to the normal 500 mg. dosage, while getting flushes from much less.
2.Do I have to get niacin with an empty stomach? Why it is written on the vial to take it with food?
Most patients report a better flush on an empty stomach- and this is the best way to take it. This many times creates more or less an instant relief from some symptoms, generally giving patients a better day - improving temporarily the general condition - but if it bothers you, take it with food as the last option…
3.What space of time should I leave between the intake of my niacin pill? Why?
Leave a couple of days between your niacin pills.
4.Why the flush disappears gradually?
The loss of the flush is due to the body becoming accustomed to the dose.
5.Is it dangerous to have niacin Intravenously (IV)? Why?
Yes it is! It is not advisable to take niacin intravenously. There have been reported cases of shock, anaphylactic events, and most doctors or nurses are unwilling due to the dangers to administer it.
6.Can I have the "No Flush " type of niacin instead of pure Niacin?
You are taking niacin for vasodilatation. No flush niacin doesn’t provide this.
7.Is it better to have my oral vitamins with food? Why?
Better absorption of vitamins occurs when taken with meals.
8.The enzymes give me an upset stomach. What should I do?
As we age, the amount of digestive fluids are reduced, and the food and vitamins are not absorbed
as thoroughly as they are in the young. If enzymes bother your digestion, yogurt, kefir, or other foods
with the most available live organisms can help dramatically in keeping a healthy digestive tract, and
to make your digestion as complete as possible.
9.Why isn’t it better to take the B vitamins separately?
The B100 formulation is the best way to ensure complete coverage of all of the B vitamins, without
having to take large amounts of individual vitamins, some of which may cause stomach upset if taken
on an empty stomach. B100 is very well tolerated, and has proven to be well absorbed. Besides the B vitamins are proven to work all together, synergistically.
10. Is it possible to increase the dose of any oral vitamin?
Yes it is. Viamin C can be increased up to 15-20 grams, or until bowel tolerance, especially when you have catch a cold or when you are or feel generally sick.
-If you feel you get a real boost from Niacin you may try taking it three times spaced evenly through the week for a short period. Not more(!) since your body will soon build tolerance to it.
-After a period of time, if you don’t seem to be passing a darker yellow colour in the urine, which is caused by the B100, it may indicate that your body is absorbing all of it and may need more. You may add another, spacing 12 hours apart.
- If your stool remains watery, it is losing water and valuable electrolytes (eg.potassium, sodium,etc.) plus, you may not be absorbing all of the fat soluble vitamins, which is of utmost importance, if the small bowel doesn’t have adequate time to absorb all of these. The key here is to apply and experiment on the right Calcium – Magnesium intake. For more visit here.
-Finally, 800IU of Vitamin E (D-Alpha-Tocopherol with mixed tocopherols) would not be a bad idea if you want a more antioxidant protection.
Under any circumstances of uncertainty or unpleasant reaction (niacin flush MAY seem unpleasant until you are used to it!!) go back to the program suggested on the basic steps of the protocol or stick to it in the first place. Be absolutely sure of any possible change. If any change doesn’t seem to make any noticeable difference in condition after a good try (say, 10 days to 2weeks.) resume previous dosages.
INJECTIONS
1.Can I substitute thiamine injectable with thiamine tablets? If no, why?
NO!! You cannot substitute oral thiamine tablets for the injections because the stomach acids destroy the thiamine which is why the daily injection is required-this bypasses the stomach and puts the thiamine directly into the bloodstream restoring normal metabolism.
2.Can I raise the dose of thiamine from 400 mg? Up to what dose and how do I know? 400 mg. of Thiamine daily by injection is effective in most cases if used daily. If, after making good and long progress there seems to be a stalling or no progress at all for a long period or a need for extra strength due to extreme pressure, or worsening of symptoms, the amount may be increased to 500 mg. It is suggested to take the 500mg broken into two injections, morning and evening. It can be taken in one dose as well if you find it more effective. Cases using the highest amount of 600 mg. have existed, ONLY on a temporary basis to reinitiate improvements.
3.Can I lower the dose of thiamine from 400mg?
It is not recommended. 400 mg of thiamine daily is required for recovery.
4.What is the best time of day to have my injection?
The injection can be taken at any time during the day, but is best used in your morning routine- wash, brush your teeth, take your injection, and you’re ready for the day!! If not convenient to take in the morning, another time may be chosen,but must be taken consistently within the same time period daily.
5.Does it matter if I keep missing my injection every once in awhile?
Yes! You will NOT make progress if you miss your daily injection.
6.What does liver extract contain?
Liver extract has been used for 100 years to treat neurological diseases. It contains many factors
required to restore normal metabolism. You cannot recover without it. Exact contents listed here.
7.What space of time should I leave between the two weekly injections of LE?
Leave 3 days between liver extract injections.
8. Is there a difference between the terms "ml" and "cc"?
One "ml" equals one "cc".
