I hear it helps some people. I tolerated it for 18 months but it gave me cold sores, hair loss, diarrhea and orthostatic intolerance. So I stopped. Currently on nothing but an anti inflammatory eating plan and supplements.

@Musicflow1 As yet, there are no treatments that can be said to "stop" the progression of MS. The available treatments are to "slow" the progression.
