Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the brain and spinal cord. It is characterized by lesions more familiarly known as plaques. Symptoms initially include weakness, numbness and tingling and visual disturbances. As the disease progresses, urinary difficulties may be present. Pharmaceutical preparations can retard the disease. Symptoms may also be controlled by natural treatment for MS.
Multiple Sclerosis is one of a group of diseases called autoimmune disorders. In this case, cells of the immune system known as T-cells are believed to attack the myelin sheaths that line nerve cells to facilitate nerve conduction. The incidence and prevalence of the condition vary with geological region; cases tend to cluster with increasing distance from the equator.
Once believed to affect only the white matter of the brain, it has become clear that the grey matter of the brain is also involved. This would explain such diffuse symptoms as cognitive dysfunction. Epidemiologists are trying to figure out what is so special about the regions where the disease is prevalent. It has been noted that people who are born in a region with low levels of MS migrate to a region where levels are high, they take on the phenotype of their new habitat.
George Jelinek, a professor of Emergency Medicine in Australia, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of 45. He keeps his condition under control using a few simple lifestyle rules and runs a 5-day retreat at the Gawler Foundation in Australia for patients with multiple sclerosis. He also runs retreats in New Zealand.
Jelinek has five simple rules: Learn how to meditate, exercise regularly, take high doses of vitamin D and completely avoid trans fats, apart from those that occur naturally in vegetables. Conventional medications are permitted. In fact, Professor Jelinek himself takes glatiramer, an immunomodulator.
The wife of Mitt Romney, Ann, went to the doctor in 1998 after experiencing the notorious brain fog. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She made public the information that horseback riding offers her protection from the symptoms. It is noteworthy that this is compliant with the Jelinek protocol. When a television presenter at MSNBC publicly poked fun at her for saying this, it flushed out another person with MS, Fox News Channel senior Neil Cavuto, who had strong words for him.
Another celebrities who has been affected by the disease is Jack Osborne, son of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. He first suffered visual difficulties in 2012, when he was 26 years old and a new father. Jack is responding to a healthy eating plan. Other celebrities with the condition include legendary Mousekateer Annette Funicello, country singer Donna Fargo and two of the Osmond Brothers, David and Alan.
There is a promising natural treatment for MS in Europe. It consists of an extract of two compounds found in marijuana called cannabinoids. The drug is available as an oral spray, similar to breath freshener, and it is used to combat the spasticity that is associated with multiple sclerosis.
