Multiple Sclerosis
This is a serious disease where the myelin sheath, which covers and protects nerve endings much like the insulating cover on an electrical wire, is slowly destroyed by the body's own immune system, possibly by overzealous killer 'T' cells. Movement is impaired by poor nerve response giving the sensations of weakness, pins and needles, numbness and poor co-ordination. It's absolute causes remains unknown but it is speculated to be hereditary and triggered by a virus. Whatever its cause it is a neurological breakdown and as such the nervous system must be supported.
There is a reason to believe that because of the number of T-cells manufactured (70 - 80% made in the gut) that a healthy gut with live enzyme production is an important treatment strategy.
Nutrition
Good food, rich in B vitamins and other nerve foods must predominate. Important nerve foods like spirulina and non-active yeasts enter the blood stream and are utilised by the body, very quickly, with little digestion required. ‘The Green Stuff’ vitamin & mineral food concentrate, is therefore an ideal daily supplement. Take nerve 'food' tonics and herb tonics in general.
Take evening primrose oil capsules (Mega GLA) and linseed oil capsules
Natural Healing
Liver, kidney and colon cleanses are all vital. (Enquire for further details)
Herbs
Take supportive and immune herbs like Siberian ginseng root and astragalus root.
Hot and cold shower routines, along with other hydrotherapy practices would be beneficial alongside massage in order to increase circulation and movement of all the organs, systems and the skin.
Herbal Formulae Suggestions
Devils Claw tincture can be helpful for flexibility or Mobility Formula
Nervous System formula (rich in skullcap, which has been proven to renew growth of myelin sheath if taken long-term) can help the nervous system but no assurances are given as each case is individual.
Ache Away Herb Tea (offers pain relief and is rich in nervine nutrients)
St. John's Wort tincture can be appropriate for massage or internally; seek advice from a qualified herbal practitioner.
Digestive formula for improved digestion and support.
‘The Green Stuff’ vitamin & mineral food concentrate
Metaphysical
On a mental/emotional level, Multiple Sclerosis represents ‘Mental hardness, hard-heartedness, iron will, inflexibility. Fear.’ A positive Affirmation is ‘By choosing loving, joyous thoughts, I create a loving, joyous world. I am safe and free.’
