Why Natural Treatment For MS Is A Better Alternative

By Jerri Perry


There are a few diseases that remain mysterious and one of them is Multiple sclerosis (MS). It is believed to begin with a localized inflammatory damage of myelin sheaths which surrounds nerve fibers. Myelin sheaths are the insulation layers protecting nerve fibers and play a role in transmission of electric impulses to and from the brain, spinal cord and other organs. It is believed to begin from immune system attack and leads to neurological impairments like muscle weakness, fatigue and loss of vision among others. There are many ways of managing this condition among which is natural treatment for MS.

Although the primary pathogenesis of the condition remains unclear, the axonal injury, inflammation and dymyelination are all considered to be contributory factors. Other factors you must be aware are the exposure to heavy metals, organic solvents and toxins. While there is evidence that suggest that exposure to sunlight and vitamin D in childhood may protect and individual from this condition, the high salt diet on the other hand is known to speed up its onset.

The most common forms of complementary therapy are the nutritional approach which requires change in diet and meditation which can induce relaxation in the nervous system. This in a way a way helps manage spasms, weakness and even loss of the motor control. The nutritional alternatives that are now common include reduction of protein diet an replacing all animal protein with plant protein, eliminating milk diet, increase ginger intake, increasing the intake of organically grown vegetable and fruits, omega 3 fatty acids from fish, hemp seeds, walnuts and flax among several others.

The other aspects that have been found to work nutritionally include cutting on protein intake and replacing animal protein with plant protein, increase in intake of omega 3 from fish oil, focus on more vegetable and fruits intake particularly the organically grown ones and eliminating milk and its derivatives from diet. In the same manner, you should focus on ginger, flax, walnut, hemp seeds, turmeric and avoiding polyunsaturated oils.

Vitamin D based supplements have shown evidence when it comes to managing the condition. In fact, getting exposure to the sun which allows for vitamin D production has been found to be helpful. Pregnant women on the other hands have reduced risks of developing this condition after giving birth, which is attributed to higher levels of vitamin D.

The exercises and yoga are also other physical alternatives out of the situation. After continuous physical activity for about six months, the fatigue which happened to be the most common symptom is reduced in a matter of time. This can be done together with other treatment methods for full recovery.

The exercises and yoga are also used although this requires longer duration of time, in most cases, taking up to 6 months. However, at the end of it all, it reduces fatigue and indeed increases the healing process.

There is no conclusion in regards to how natural treatment for MS works. What is known however is that most of the above discussed methods have some significant effect in its management and reduction. Despite, most of the natural alternatives that have to do with diet approach and exercise are completely safe and are completely safe to try out.
