How To Reverse MS Effectively With The Right Kind Of Diet

By Sherry Gross


The human body is composed of seemingly different systems that actually work quite harmoniously together to make you run, walk, move, and attend to your obligations. It also has its own protective measures to keep you healthy and strong day after day. You body has its share of natural soldiers. These warriors are antibodies that are meant to recognize alien matter inside the body and attack them.

These antibodies and other like components make up the natural defense of the body which is also known as the immune system. Your immunity is what fights against viruses and bacterias to prevent you from getting sick with Reverse MS. It is a very important component of the body. Without it, one will be vulnerable to outside attack. But, there are some people who have developed some sort of autoimmunity. Basically, this means that your own immune system battles against you. The antibodies mistake the healthy cells for dangerous ones and try to kill them off.

Multiple sclerosis, as aforementioned, is an autoimmune disease. This means that your own antibodies attack your brain and spinal cord. These two are very important components of the nervous system, and it will cause quite a blow to daily living if these two are damaged. In a deeper sense, the said disease causes the myelin to gradually thin, so the nerves will not be able to conduct impulses.

It has gotten its name from the build up of scar tissue in the brain. The scars or sclerosis come from the lesions in the nervous system that commonly affects the white matter in the optic nerves, brain stems, basal ganglia, and the spinal cord. It rarely manifests in the peripheral nervous system.

Since MS is a unique disease of the central nervous system, the symptoms that signify its presence can also differ from one to the other. The most common, however, is the decrease in control of muscle movements. This is why most MS patients have loads of coordination problems that some of them are even confined to a wheelchair.

Vision problems can also be brought about by the said condition. The disease often interferes with the white matter in the optic nerve so blindness is experienced by the vast majority. As the disease continues to worsen, patients may feel spasticity or the stiffness of the muscles. He or she may also have difficulties in controlling urine and the urges to urinate.

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.

As of the present, there is actually no known cure for the said illness. Most patients are treated with a variety of drugs that are meant to slow down the progression of the disease, but they have varied effects for each patient. Some of them benefit from it, while an alarming number do not. It is for this reason that people are turning to a new kind of special diet to help reverse the said disease. This is also known as the paleo diet.

The paleo diet makes one stay away from man processed carbohydrate sources such as bread and all sorts of grains. It allows one to eat just like the early cave men did, as it is noted that most diseases today are caused about by the wrong kind of fruits. Additional doses of Vitamin D are said to help a lot, too.
