New Ways To Reverse MS

By Sherry Gross


It is always a marvel to see the human body in action. It is fascinating to note that the anatomy of the average human is actually composed of so many different systems that have connected functions to make the entire system work. It even has its own battle army to be able to get ready for any battle with all kinds of unexpected invaders.

Your immune system is the natural way of your body to prevent you from getting sick. Your immunity shields you from the unannounced attacks of most disease carrying agents such as bacteria, viruses, and microbes. The absence of this unique defense will leave you naked to serious conditions such as cancer, Reverse MS, and the like.

Autoimmune diseases are very hard to cure. A very known example is multiple sclerosis. In this condition, the immune system mistake the brain and the spinal cord for harmful matter and attacks them. These two are very essential in daily functions, so when they incur damages, it may be detrimental to daily activities. The build up of scars in the brain can hinder most functions and can even cause physical, mental, and even psychiatric difficulties.

The main reason why people lose most control of their body when afflicted with MS is due to demyelination. This means that the myelin that covers most nerve endings is gradually thinning. Myelin is important for easier conduction of impulses from the brain to the other parts.

Since MS is a unique disease of the central nervous system, the symptoms that signify its presence can also differ from one to the other. The most common, however, is the decrease in control of muscle movements. This is why most MS patients have loads of coordination problems that some of them are even confined to a wheelchair.

Blurred or hazy vision can also be a telltale sign that one may be having the said disease. Eye pain and double vision also ensues as the brain is having difficulty coordinating with the sense of sight. As the condition progresses, more symptoms will make themselves known such as muscle stiffness or spasticity, difficulties in urination control and problems with cognition. Rare cases can even include a range of psychiatric problems.

The real cause of the said illness is currently unknown, even though dedicated teams of medical experts have devoted most of their professional lives trying to understand the disease and come up with a really effective cure. One possible cause, according to them, is immunologic in origin yet they have not really pinpointed to which immune cell is responsible. Genetic conditions can also be one, yet they are quick to say that the illness is not really hereditary.

Patients afflicted with MS are, of the present, made to intake drugs that are believe to counter or slow down its effects. This is not applicable for everyone, however, as there is a large number of MS patients who do not respond to the said medication. Instead, they are turning into a new diet that was introduced by a well known doctor who has also been diagnosed with the said disease.

The said diet is a modern take on the way the early people eat. This means staying away from bread and grains as a source of carbohydrates and substituting them with tubers instead. This diet focuses more on meat and less dairy, contrary to what most have been observing.
