MS cures – simple thoughts

Disease never comes without a cause
The way is prepared, and disease invited, by disregard of the laws of health

• For the first 5000 years of civilization, humans relied on foods and herbs for medicine. Only in the past 50 years or so have we forgotten our medicinal “roots” in favor of patent medicines. While pharmaceuticals have their value, we should not forget the well-documented, non-toxic and inexpensive healing properties of whole foods. Therefore never forget of the health benefits from whole foods
• A simple, natural diet and specific supplements may help or even cure many people with MS – sometimes significantly, though these are not sanctioned by most Multiple Sclerosis organizations. These approaches will likely yield greater benefits in the early, rather than late, stages of MS
• Interestingly, people with Multiple Sclerosis have been found to have a wide variety of nutritional deficits, and many of these deficits are the same ones that cause osteoporosis, as well as many of the symptoms of MS. It is unlikely that this is a set of random coincidences, but more apt to be a logical sequence of causes and effects
• Perhaps MS, like many other chronic conditions, is the result not of a singular genetic, viral or environmental event, but rather the result of a wide variety of factors that may be different for different people
• Logically, any one MS study considered alone does not explain the results of the other studies. A number of studies have linked MS to pollution, lack of sunlight exposure or essential fatty acids and many other factors. However, any one of these studies, taken individually, does not logically explain the findings of the other studies
• Positive diet changes is always a good thing to do, and it has minimal costs

Allergic reactions and MS

For the past ten years there has been an increasing acceptance of the theory that allergenic reaction is a causative factor in multiple sclerosis. In the study of a series of patients the author traced many attacks directly to allergenic insults. When the offending substances were removed, a quiescent period often ensued…

The earlier the diagnosis and the beginning of treatment, the better the chance of arresting the disease and preventing serious crippling conditions. In cases of longer duration where the patient has become crippled or bedridden, physical therapy with relaxing medication is of great value.

Above information was published in a medicinal journal over 50 years ago! Quite interestingly, it was time when man-made chemicals started appearing. Some strong forces (very big money) are trying to mask information of such kind in obscurity.

What really allergy is?

Allergies are immune system responses to particular foods and/or other offending substances, such as pesticides, heavy metals, fragrances, medications, etc. Immune system cells (antibodies) bind to and identify the foods/substances as invaders, and, with the help of other immune system cells, organize an attack against them. This process, in turn, leads to inflammation and whole array of symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy/watery eyes, skin rashes, dark circles under the eyes, etc.

Allergic reactions can be either immediate or delayed. IgE antibodies are involved in immediate allergic reactions, which can sometimes be life-threatening, while IgM and IgG antibodies are involved in the initial and longer-term reactions, responsible for delayed responses. Only one tenth of allergic responses are IgE – biggest part of allergic reaction can not be easily noticed!

Food sensitivities is a more general term. It may include food allergies as well as reactions that do not involve an immune response (food intolerances).

Many conditions may be triggered by allergies/sensitivities, including:

• ADD/ADHD
• Arthritis
• Autism
• Eczema
• Multiple sclerosis
• Inflammatory bowel syndrome etc

There is much of so-called anecdotal as well as scientific evidence suggesting that nutrition affects the onset and progression of MS. There is also plenty of scientific data to indicate this connection.

Probably the most thoroughly nutrition/diet influence on multiple sclerosis is examined in a website Direct-MS.

Apparently, all degenerative diseases are mainly triggered by delayed allergic reactions!
