My brother-in-law just moved in with us and he has MS. He has a card for medicinal purposes. He gets it in a oil form. I tried it. I never have liked it, but what the hey. You need just a little to be put on the back of the tooth. It did not make me hungry but definitely helped with sleep. I also noticed that the oil burnt my throat if I used to much. But I again cannot use it because I keep getting pnemonius and they don't know why when all I use is a peg. I have never lost my taste buds for most things, so it is hard to cook for my family and that is dwendling down to. Don't know what will happen if I stopped that. But everyone's right we have to eat.
