Multiple Sclerosis or MS is a nerve cell disorder that affects the brain and the spinal cord, which controls all the physical activities of the human body. Almost 2.5 million people worldwide aged between 20 and 50 years are afflicted with this disorder.
The damage to the myelin sheath, the protective covering of the nerves in the nervous system, is what that causes this nerve cell disorder. Myelin sheath is essential as it helps in the easy and rapid transmission of signals along the nerves, which eventually allows us to perform smooth, rapid, and coordinated movements. Without the protective myelin sheath, the nerve cells are damaged and the transmission of the signals is affected.
Causes
The primary cause of this disorder is still unknown, but here are some of them:
* Genetic abnormalities
* Nutritional deficiency
* Disorder of the immune system
* >Injury to the brain and the nervous system
* Virus
Symptoms
MS affects the sensory or motor function and hence the different symptoms include loss of vision, tiredness, imbalance, tremors, muscle spasms and numbness, memory loss, difficulty in speaking, swallowing and moving, sexual dysfunction, depression, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and occasional or frequent relapses that occur without warning. It is an incurable disease and in most cases, it leads to paralysis.
Natural Remedies
As mentioned above, there is no proper treatment for this condition. Lifestyle and dietary changes are the only known cure as it helps to slow down the progress of the disease. An important advantage of natural remedies is that there are no side effects. However, a good naturopath would be in a better position to advise you.
Try out some of the natural remedies given below to reduce symptoms of this disease:
* Make seafood a part of your diet. The 72 natural trace elements in the seafood makes up for the trace element deficiency, which is one of the major causes for the immune system to attack its own cells and tissues.
* Large doses of vitamin B1, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin F, vitamin E and vitamin D supplements provide greater relief from the nerve cell disorder symptoms. Antioxidants such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E play a vital role in reducing the oxidative damage caused by the free radicals and thus slow down the progression of the disease.
* Adopt a lacto-vegetarian diet comprising of unsalted butter, soured milk, unfiltered honey, homemade cottage cheese, cabbage, carrot, cucumber, radish, red beetroot, and tomato as it provides the essential vitamins and nutrients to strengthen the immune system.
* Drink plenty of water, fruits, and vegetable juices. Stay away from salt, junk food, refined flour, smoking, and alcohol as it causes more harm than good.
MS is a debilitating disease hence counseling can help the sufferers in coping with the disease. The patient should indulge in mentally engaging activities such as reading, solving brainteasers, puzzles and so on to keep the mind constantly active. An active mind can considerably reduce the progression of the disease.
