Disorders of the Nervous System
Multiple sclerosis – a condition affecting the central nervous system – brain and spinal cord and optic nerves. In multiple sclerosis fatty tissue surrounding nerve fibers, known as the myelin sheaths, is destroyed in many places, causing different symptoms – from extreme fatigue to difficulties with walking or vision. While multiple sclerosis is believed to be an autoimmune disease, its cause is still unknown. People with this condition, especially in the early stages, often respond well to nutritional support.
Start by analyzing your diet and your friend’s way of life. Because multiple sclerosis is associated with the use of a large number of animal fats, it should be deleted cheese, milk and meat and eat more fish, nuts and seeds, which are rich in fatty acids of omega-3 necessary for the formation of myelin. I recommend you add a combination of essential fatty acids: gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), docosahexaenoic acid (DNA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
It was found that myelin is very susceptible to oxidation, so avoid smoking, stay in the smoky atmosphere, fried or singed products and take a good set of antioxidant supplements.
Mercury exposure can also contribute to this state – through inhalation of its fumes, vaccinations, severe pollution or lack of other minerals in the body needed to counteract the accumulation of mercury. B vitamins (especially B12) are key. Therefore, in addition to proper diet and adding Omega-3, an ideal food strategy should include natural products, foods low in toxins, and should be supported by a quality multivitamin and mineral supplements and a complex B-vitamins mineral hair analysis can reveal the presence of toxin in organism. Some people think that multiple sclerosis may be associated with food allergies, especially gluten (wheat, oats, rye and barley) and milk. They can be excluded from the diet, to test yourself on the presence of allergy. There is also a link between high levels of homocysteine, and multiple sclerosis, so that should also be tested for homocysteine. Finally, the study found that can help the digestive enzymes.
When the disease of motor neurons in the state of the motor cells in the brain and spinal cord progressively worse, preventing the patient’s ability to move, breathe, speak and swallow. There may be muscle weakness and paralysis. This is – a serious condition in which, however, almost certainly can help the food support.
Begin with an analysis of the mineral composition of hair to check the presence of toxic heavy metals, especially mercury, it can destroy the myelin sheaths around nerves, which help in transmission of nerve impulses. It is important to exclude this possibility or to detoxification, if necessary.
Perhaps you will need to stick to a diet that supports your nerves. Antioxidants break down the destructive free radicals in the body and can help relieve the majority of degenerative diseases, so add the full antioxidant complex including vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene, glutathione and Anthocyanidins. Reduce consumption of saturated animal fat and fried hydrogenated and increase the use of essential fats from seeds and their oils and fatty fish. These latter are essential for the health of nerves and brain. They help to restore the myelin sheaths, which consist largely of the same fatty acids. So you protect the nerves and strengthen the connection of brain cells. Other nutrients, which sometimes gives excellent results – niacin (vitamin B3). However, be advised – 500 mg twice a day – you will feel a rush of blood and redness within 30 minutes after ingestion. There are also other important nutritional considerations; better to visit a nutritionist to have a full assessment of health for specific dietary and nutritional recommendations.
