Possible Ways To Reverse MS

By Sherry Gross


It is always a marvel to see the human body in action. It is fascinating to note that the anatomy of the average human is actually composed of so many different systems that have connected functions to make the entire system work. It even has its own battle army to be able to get ready for any battle with all kinds of unexpected invaders.

The human immune system is an amazing protective mechanism. It defends you against bacteria, parasites, viruses, and other microbial organisms that can enter and take over your body. Healthy diet and an active lifestyle can make your immunity stronger, but there are times when your own system attacks you. This is called autoimmunity, and is the leading cause for diseases like Reverse MS, lupus, and others.

Autoimmune diseases are very hard to cure. A very known example is multiple sclerosis. In this condition, the immune system mistake the brain and the spinal cord for harmful matter and attacks them. These two are very essential in daily functions, so when they incur damages, it may be detrimental to daily activities. The build up of scars in the brain can hinder most functions and can even cause physical, mental, and even psychiatric difficulties.

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.

This demyelination of nerve cells can result in poor control of muscles. The manifestations of the said illness varies from one affected person to the next, but the most common ones are muscle weakness and decreased coordination. The patient may also experience increased numbness and the tingling sensation of having pins and needles being stuck onto a specific part of your body.

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 MS is still mysteriously unknown, though some experts devoted to its study suspect that a rare combination of environmental factors can bring about the disease. Genetics and infectious agents are considered prime culprits. Smoking and other vices, when coupled with stress, can also increase the risk of developing the disease.

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.
