What The Natural Treatment For MS Means For You

By Jerri Perry


There are a few diseases that remain mysterious and one of them is Multiple sclerosis (MS). It is believed to begin with a localized inflammatory damage of myelin sheaths which surrounds nerve fibers. Myelin sheaths are the insulation layers protecting nerve fibers and play a role in transmission of electric impulses to and from the brain, spinal cord and other organs. It is believed to begin from immune system attack and leads to neurological impairments like muscle weakness, fatigue and loss of vision among others. There are many ways of managing this condition among which is natural treatment for MS.

Although the primary pathogenesis of the condition remains unclear, the axonal injury, inflammation and dymyelination are all considered to be contributory factors. Other factors you must be aware are the exposure to heavy metals, organic solvents and toxins. While there is evidence that suggest that exposure to sunlight and vitamin D in childhood may protect and individual from this condition, the high salt diet on the other hand is known to speed up its onset.

The natural treatment for MS is not well understood on how they interact with other medication, the right dosages, combination and even if they work at all. Currently, there are many research works going on to determine how nutrients and supplements play a role in multiple sclerosis cures. Having said that, it is better to inform your doctor when you have the condition and the medical approach you have taken including the use of supplements.

The other aspects that have been found to work nutritionally include cutting on protein intake and replacing animal protein with plant protein, increase in intake of omega 3 from fish oil, focus on more vegetable and fruits intake particularly the organically grown ones and eliminating milk and its derivatives from diet. In the same manner, you should focus on ginger, flax, walnut, hemp seeds, turmeric and avoiding polyunsaturated oils.

Vitamin D based supplements have shown evidence when it comes to managing the condition. In fact, getting exposure to the sun which allows for vitamin D production has been found to be helpful. Pregnant women on the other hands have reduced risks of developing this condition after giving birth, which is attributed to higher levels of vitamin D.

Lastly, the other natural approach that is very common is psychological technique which relies on neo-linguistic programming. In this way, any negative thought that arises from the condition and treatment process is isolated and treated separately. This works well particularly with the mainstream medical approach where medicines are known to bring about undesirable side effect.

The other tips include increase intake of vegetables and fruits, multivitamin and other multi-mineral supplements, up to 5 grams of lecithin granules on daily basis, about 30 milligrams three times daily dose of coenzyme Q10, eating ginger and turmeric, replacing animal protein with plant protein and reducing the quantity of the same, complete elimination of milk and its derivatives among many other ways.

Natural treatment for MS is basically on lifestyle change and adding the vitamins and minerals that may be inadequate in the body. In most cases, the approaches are supportive of healthy leaving and therefore worth trying.
