What really is Multiple Sclerosis?

Good question, isn’t it?

Official medicine is speaking about MS everyday. But still – what are they speaking about?

I went to Google and asked for definition of Multiple Sclerosis. You can see the result of my inquiry in article On MS definition. All 26 definitions are more or less incorrect. In reality it’s a completely useless mess. Yeah.

I’ve written another article MS – name ambiguity on the subject. It starts with MS description by National Multiple Sclerosis Society (USA). I analyzed it carefully and find it to be completely misleading.

One more MS definition can be found in article of Wikipedia.org:

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune response attacks a person’s central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), leading to demyelination… The name multiple sclerosis refers to scars (scleroses—better known as plaques or lesions) in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord, which is mainly composed of myelin.

Almost any neurological symptom can appear with the disease…

Although much is known about the mechanisms involved in the disease process, the cause remains unknown. Theories include genetics or infections. Different environmental risk factors have also been found.

That’s better – MS really is an autoimmune disorder. Unfortunately, I still have no idea, what is a key difference between ‘immune response’ and ‘immune system’. Isn’t this explanation perfect: “Almost any neurological symptom can appear with the disease”. Please remember – we are speaking about CNS damage! MS triggers have been mentioned only, without ANY further explanation. However, you can find some information in a chapter Triggers of my website.

According to National MS Society (USA) description , in order to make a diagnosis of MS, the physician must:

• Find evidence of damage in at least two separate areas of the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves AND
• Find evidence that the damage occurred at least one month apart AND
• Rule out all other possible diagnoses

According to the Criteria all a neurologist has to do to diagnose MS is to determine position and level of CNS damage according to strict regulations. Regretfully, they have chosen to keep silent about possible triggers etc.

Looking closely, it’s easy to see the complexity of the degenerative process.

Obviously, before MS can be diagnosed, a succession of the body  damaging events must happen:

• The body is heavily polluted so one’s immune system gets detuned – that way autoimmunity starts
• Over-activated immune system starts the crusade against a new enemy – own body CNS, especially myelin
• To get to the brain, the blood brain barrier – brain safeguard – has to be damaged
• Significant damage to nerve covering (myelin) in many CNS positions has to be done
• Accumulated CNS damages lead to significant neurological symptoms
• CNS damages (lesions or scars) are clearly visible via MRI scanning etc

Hopefully, knowledge of these underlying degenerative processes could clarify some activities towards body stabilizing and healing. Obviously, these should involve mainly detoxification and immune system strengthening.

That’s my answer to a question What really Multiple Sclerosis is?
