Learning How To Successfully Reverse MS

By Marcie Goodman


Multiple sclerosis is not a new disease, and in fact, is quite well known around the world. It is the result of myelin damage, affecting the brain and spinal cord, and causing numerous symptoms. People can experience loss of coordination, muscle loss, issues with vision, and other problems, although they may also experience a remission from the disease. Below, learn whether it is possible to reverse MS.

As with many diseases, nutrition is a key factor, and multiple sclerosis is not exempt. That means that poor nutrition can be a factor in the development of the disease, as well as its progression. An improvement in the diet can reverse symptoms. When one eats right, the brain and the body receive the proper nutrients, and with multiple sclerosis, brain shrinkage is evident. Therefore, one must feed the mitochondria with omega-3 fats, creatine, and coenzyme Q10.

In addition to the above, it is important to supplement the diet with certain B vitamins. Iodine and sulfur are also crucial which have indicated the slowing of the disease, as well as the improvement in the patient. Having said that, this particular diet is known as the Paleo Diet, one that is completely different from the popular Western diet. The latter is the most unhealthy way to eat. It lacks in nutrients and this chock-full of dangerous ingredients that are directly responsible for the increase in these degenerative, chronic illnesses.

That means eating plenty of greens and sulfur-rich vegetables, as well as bright colored fruits and vegetables. It means increasing the amount of wild fish consumed, and decreasing the amount of regular red meat. Instead, people have to eat more grass fed meat, and seaweed which is rich in iodine and selenium.

It also means saying no to processed foods, potatoes and corn, and of course, grains. The bottom line is that nutrition is the answer to many of the chronic conditions experienced by millions around the world. In addition to the above, it is highly recommended to get more vitamin D. Take vitamin D supplements and get out in the sun more.

More things to avoid include any artificial sweeteners and aspartame, which happens to be found in almost all gum. These are extremely toxic and are believed to cause neurological disorders of a chronic nature. Aspartame simply kills brain neurons. On the other hand, antioxidants feed the brain neurons.

Lifestyle changes need to be made in order to reverse MS. Along with the above recommendations, it's important to eliminate sugar, and especially fructose, pasteurized dairy products, and commercial fruit juices. Fermented vegetables and raw fruits and vegetables are extremely important to good health and for the reversal of different autoimmune diseases. At the same time, it is important to check iron levels, as too much or too little can cause a problem.

A Mercury detox would also prove beneficial in the quest to reverse MS. As is common knowledge, Mercury is a poison, and especially damaging to anyone suffering from this chronic disease. Having said that, large fish are known to contain high levels of mercury, so they should be avoided.
