Possible Ways To Reverse MS

By Sherry Gross


The human body is a marvel. It is free standing, and all parts all work together in simultaneous harmony to allow for one fully functioning human. It even has natural protective measures that ward off alien invaders from attacking the system. This team of natural body soldiers comprise the immune system of the human anatomy.

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.

However, there are defects in the normal functions of the system that makes it turn against you. This condition is called autoimmunity, and it truly happens to some people. The healthy cells in your body are finished off by your own immunity which has mistaken these cells as potentially dangerous ones.

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.

Symptoms of multiple sclerosis actually varies form one person to the next. The damaged nerve signals can cause debilitating signs in an affected person like walking and coordination problems. The affected individual will inevitably have poor control of muscular functions because the commands from the brain cannot reach the intended part. Added symptoms include numbness or pins and needles.

Eye related problems are also linked to MS. This is because the lesions are somehow affecting the white matter in the optic nerves which allows one to perceive sight. If the illness progresses without any attempts to reverse it, the patient may ultimately lose control of all his or her muscles and will even have bladder and bowel control difficulties.

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.
