MS or multiple sclerosis is a slow, progressive disease of the central nervous system. Multiple Sclerosis is an auto-immune disease - own immune response that protects your body from viruses is going in overdrive and attacks your central nervous system. These attacks are primarily restricted to the brain and spinal cord nerve endings. Initially it causes loss of balance, reduced vision and bouts of localized paralysis. Eventually, patients may become totally paralyzed and wheelchair-bound.

According to the WHO, multiple sclerosis affects about 2.5m individuals worldwide, of which about 1% die each year.

The risk of developing MS increases when there is a history of MS in your direct family. Severe stress or trauma can also be a trigger for MS, however, not yet proven. To follow up - Stress can intensify the severity of the MS "Flare up". The disease often manifest itself during pregnancy. Another reason may wrong diet as well as environmental factors such as contaminated water, chemicals in food and air, and a very large number of electrical devices. They emit high-intensity magnetic fields that, in turn, interfere with the work of our cells and leads to immune system deterioration.

There are several kinds of MS.

Relapsing-remitting MS: This is normally the first stage of multiple sclerosis where the patient experience intermittent relapses or flare ups, followed by complete or partial recovery – so called the remission stage. During the remission stage these symptoms disappear completely within a matter of time. The extend of time for these symptoms to subside differs from person to person.

Secondary-progressive MS: Patients start out with the relapsing-remitting form of the disease, but relapses become more severe and remissions less complete, shorter in duration, and eventually non-existent. The symptoms are here to stay and very few medication does slows down the progression of the disease. With SPMS the patient will have good days and bad days, with a lot of external factors playing a role in the disease. Heat, diet and other factor like stress and over activeness plays a role in how the patient may feel. It normally appears after a 10-15 years of multiple sclerosis.

Progressive Relapsing MS: The relapses are more frequent than in SPMS and there is less remission between each relapse. During each relapse the symptoms steadily worsen with new symptoms appearing with new attack sometimes.

Primary Progressive MS: There is no history of relapses. This is the basic type of MS and most MS sufferers are in this stage. Instead symptoms worsen and patients become gradually more disabled over time. Unfortunately there are no remissions from this type and with each attack there is a continual worsening of the symptoms. The severity of the symptoms may differ from each attack but there are always lasting effects from the attacks from which there are no recovery.

This type is diagnosed in the age group of 30 – 50 and it occurs more often in men than in women.

Basic pharmacological treatment is a steroids treatment. They are reducing our immunity. These drugs in the first stage of MS help, but the more attacks occur the less effect you get. The best solution is to use combined methods of treatment (pharmacology, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, proper diet and supplementation).

With diet, definitely must be considered a blood type diet. It is very important to cut down saturated fats such as animal fats, butter, fat dairy, cheese, coffee and soft drinks. It should be replaced by the unsaturated fatty acids such as Omega 3 and Evening Primrose Oil.

Applying steroid deteriorates bone mineralization. It is recommended to provide Strong Bones or Power Mins. They contain necessary amount of Calcium that determines the proper nerve efferent transmission and muscle contractility, stimulates body's defence mechanism.

Vitamin C plus and Triple Potency Lecithin contain high quality biologically active phospholipids that restore damaged myelin coating (coating that protects nerves).

Polinesian Noni and Coenzyme Q10 regenerate damaged cell structures and accelerate their regeneration.
