All About Multiple Sclerosis And Alternative Treatment For MS

Multiple sclerosis is a condition that is largely considered to be an inflammatory process that involves different parts of the central nervous system. The central nervous system, commonly called the CNS, controls a large portion of the body’s functioning and any medical complication that causes some amount of damage to this white matter can be the root of many complications in a person’s daily life. The condition is a non contagious disorder that is characterized by the destruction of the insulating layer that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord.

This insulation, known as myelin, is the main highway for electrical signals between the brain and the rest of the body. When this layer is destroyed, the nerve messages are sent more slowly and significantly less efficiently. As a result, the condition leads to a breakdown in the communication between the brain and the rest of the organs within the body.

Symptoms And Treatment Of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a wide ranging condition that will manifest along with a number of symptoms that vary from individual to individual. Some of the more common symptoms when affected by the condition include vision loss, double vision, difficulty with speech, weakness, fatigue or even bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction. Most people that are affected by the condition will notice its development between the ages of 20 and 40. In most cases, the first symptoms of the condition affect an individuals vision – causing either blurred or double vision or even red – green color distortion or complete blindness.

As of yet, no guaranteed medical treatment exists to help completely heal multiple sclerosis but there are a number of changes you could make to your daily routine that would go a long way into helping you deal with the condition. For example, green tea is known to be extremely good when dealing with the condition due to its high content of a substance called epigallocatechin-3-gallate which is found to inhibit auto – reactive T cells (which are the immune cells that attack the tissue of the body).

Your diet will play a major role in minimizing the effect that the condition will have on your daily life. Try following a diet where, for the first 3 to 5 days, you consume nothing but juices. Administer a warm water enema and then advance to a lacto – vegetarian diet. Increase your intake of essential vitamins like vitamin B3, vitamin B6, Vitamin E and vitamin F. Make sure that you do not exert your body too much during the day and get enough of rest.
