Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disorder in which the myelin and the nerve fibers are damaged and destroyed. According to one theory, Multiple Sclerosis is the result of an autoimmune response against the myelin surrounding the nerve fibers by the action of macophages, T-killer cells, lymphokines, antibodies, or a combination of these elements. The process of demyelination causes disruptions in the transmission of nerve impulses, which therefore, results in symptoms specific to the nerve fibers damaged.
The cause of Multiple Sclerosis is unknown; however, it may be due to a virus or other unknown antigen. This disorder is typically found in temperate climates, and is rarely if ever found in tropical climates. MS typically occurs between the ages of 20 and 40 years. Heredity may also play a factor in the occurrence of Multiple Sclerosis as approximately 10 percent of those with Multiple Sclerosis have siblings that also have the disease.
Some of the most common early symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis include numbness, tingling, pain, burning, itching, mood swings, and giddiness. Some cognitive symptoms may also include memory disturbances, decreased judgement, and inattention. However, the symptoms experienced depend on which nerve fibers have been affected. In addition, symptoms may come and go as the myelin is damaged, repaired, and then more myelin is damaged.
Most people with Multiple Sclerosis have a normal lifespan. Generally 20 percent have no functional limitation, 70 percent will be limited or unable to perform major daily activities, and 75 percent will be unemployed.
The exact cause(s) is(are) unknown. An autoimmune theory does exist. The non-digestion of foods and processed chemicals from our diet had also been theorized as possible contributers.
Foods that have been proven to help with Multiple Sclerosis:
Fresh vegetables, whole grains, fatty acid rich foods (avocado, raw nuts, salmon).
Other Nutrients that have been proven to help with MS:
Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin B12, Zinc, Reishi Mushroom, Essential Fatty Acids, Selenium, Digestive Enzymes.
Exercises that have been proven to help with Multiple Sclerosis:
In addition to improving overall health, cardiovascular fitness, range of motion, and flexibility exercises can help increase energy, improve balance, decrease muscle atrophy, and better perform activities of daily living.
