Why Natural Treatment For MS Is A Better Alternative

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 alternative is active supplementation. Through this approach, the nutrients that are considered necessary for repair and strengthening of myelin are used. In the same manner, they are also targeted at to reduce severity of attack. In this category, there are those supplements based6 fatty acids and omega-3. These supplements are widely available and can be bought online or other stores.

There is also active supplementation approach where supplements are used to directly increase the minerals and other elements that might be lacking in the body system. The idea is to improve the immune system so that the body can protect itself from myelin sheath destruction. In this category there are several supplements and medicinal herbs that have been used for long.

Other than these, exercises and yoga are other natural ways being exploited in control and management of MS. This however requires about 6 month continuous engagement to be even effective. According to some research the physical activity reduces fatigue which goes long way in managing the condition.

The exercises and yoga are also used although this requires longer duration of time, in most cases, taking up to 6 months. However, at the end of it all, it reduces fatigue and indeed increases the healing process.

There is no conclusion in regards to how natural treatment for MS works. What is known however is that most of the above discussed methods have some significant effect in its management and reduction. Despite, most of the natural alternatives that have to do with diet approach and exercise are completely safe and are completely safe to try out.
