Nutrition for Multiple Sclerosis

The Holistic Approach

We caution MS patients not to take supplements that are synthetic or synthesized single isolates of any substances. Taking isolated laboratory-made supplements can be deadly.

What is Multiple Sclerosis?

MS is an ultimately disabling disease of the central nervous system. It involves damage to the myelin sheath, the insulating covering of the nerves, much like the insulation of electrical wire. When the myelin sheath is damaged the nerve impulses along the nerve are disrupted. Since nerves carry electrical and chemical messages to all the muscles and organs, the disruption can have many different effects depending on the final destination of the nerve impulse.

Multiple Sclerosis comes in two forms: chronic progressive and relapsing remitting. There is no medical cure for multiple sclerosis. However, the body can heal itself so the person can live a completely normal life. The return of nerve function will be in proportion the person's commitment to do what it takes, even when that means a change of lifestyle, including diet changes, supplementation, and exercise.

Multiple Sclerosis means "many scars"

Causes of Multiple Sclerosis

Dehydration - Not drinking enough water is basic to MS sufferers. Dehydration makes all the rest of the causes worse.
Immune System Deficiency - MS has an autoimmune component as do rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, and ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). This means the cells of the immune system (macrophages), which are supposed to destroy harmful foreign substances and cancerous cells from the inner terrain of your body, are attacking and destroying your normal cells. For a detailed explanation of how this process works, see our arthritis and other autoimmune diseases article
Toxins -Toxins can both initiate the autoimmune response and directly damage the myelin sheath. Here is a partial list of toxins known to damage the nervous system:
- Heavy Metals - Lead, Aluminum, Mercury from amalgamated fillings in your teeth and from vaccines
- Excitotoxins - MSG, Food preservatives, Aspartame - which has symptoms similar to Multiple Sclerosis (See article on Aspartame)
- Chemotherapy and radiation are known to destroy the myelin sheath
- Pesticides and chemical fertilizers - Pesticides are used to destroy the nervous or immune systems of insects. Low level exposure to these chemicals as residues found on and in food accumulate over time and reach a level that has damaging effects on the nervous systems of humans.
- Electro-magnetic Fields - It is known that electromagnetic fields can disrupt the brain and nervous system.
Pathogens - Pathogens are any disease-causing organisms: viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi, and parasites.
Enzyme Deficiency - Every chemical reaction in the body requires a specific enzyme or a combination of several enzymes to catalyze its process. These chemical reactions are required for every single function in the body, such as the digestion of food, the contraction of muscles, the electrical communication between nerve cells.
Vaccines - Many studies link childhood vaccinations to MS
Acidosis - Acidosis is ultimately the most contributing factor to MS and all other degenerative diseases. When the pH of your body's general fluids drop below neutral (7.0) or the level of your blood drops below 7.4 you are in acidosis. This acid condition basically digests (breaks down) your cells just like the acid in your stomach digests your food. Acidosis interferes with the enzyme system, immune system, circulatory system, nervous system, and lowers the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, leading to hypoxia and cell death.
Nutritional Deficiency - Every degenerative disease is also a nutritional deficiency even if there are other factors involved. If you don't supply adequate amounts of the correct building blocks necessary to repair and maintain your body on a daily basis you WILL get what the doctors call "disease."
Vitamin D Deficiency - Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to MS. The best way to increase Vitamin D is by exposure to sunlight. Regular exposure to sunlight is essential for health. But, of course, I don't mean sunburn. Exposure to the point of burning should be avoided.
Hormone Imbalance - It has been discovered recently that the hormone progesterone in both women and men plays a critical role in the maintenance and rebuilding of the myelin sheath. This has been reported by both Doctors John Lee and Betty Kaman (regarded as the world's foremost authorities on progesterone). It was not known until just recently how the body is able to repair and create new myelin. Progesterone should be used in a natural cream form, never as a synthetic product. The molecular differences between natural and synthetic can mean the difference between success and failure.
Sedentary Lifestyle - The lack of stimulation due to a sedentary lifestyle causes muscles to atrophy and nerves to lose their "memory," as when you don't practice a musical instrument, the muscles and nervous system "forget" how to play. A sedentary lifestyle causes a lack of movement of the lymphatic fluid. Lymph is responsible for immunity and detoxification, and to function it must circulate around the body. But there is no pump for the fluid of the lymphatic system as there is for the blood in the circulatory system. Lack of movement of lymph allows toxins and free radicals to build up and deteriorate the body. Lymph circulation is stimulated only by: 1. Deep Breathing 2. Exercise 3. Massage. Sometimes people are too sick to exercise properly. A few minutes a day on one of those small, indoor trampolines can be very useful as a gentle, sustained bouncing very effectively moves the lymph.

Genetic Weakness - Genetic weakness should be the least of our concerns. Some people use it as an excuse to continue their self-destructive ways ("I am genetically predisposed. So it doesn't matter what I do.). While it is true that someone may have a genetic predisposition to MS or some other disease, that doesn't mean they have to get it. It only means they are more likely to get that disease rather than some other - if they don't nourish and care for their bodies properly.

This can be the turning point of your life!

Multiple Sclerosis, like Cancer, Lou Gehrig's Disease, and AIDS, is labeled incurable by the medical industry. And it's true: these diseases are incurable from a medical perspective. But we are not talking about medical cures, we're talking about natural healing. Medical curing and natural healing are two completely different processes. Medical curing of MS is impossible, but natural healing is possible. In fact your DNA is already programmed to bring about perfect health - but you have to give it the chance, which means the causes of the disease must be eliminated and complete and proper and powerful nutrition must be consistently applied.

The testimonies of those who have overcome this disease is a testimony to our bodies' miraculous abilities to heal themselves - our Creator's gift to each and every one of us.

The trouble with "treatments" is they target the symptoms of the disease only and do not address the causes. If you have MS, there is a reason why you have it; there is a cause or causes. If you can pinpoint and correct the cause or causes and facilitate the regenerative process for what has already been damaged, your condition will be improved -100% of the time! There is no drug that has ever been invented, and no drug ever will be, that can bring about regeneration. Only nutrition can bring about regeneration!

Your goal should not be a dramatic and unrealistic total immediate cure. Right now, some days are better than others, but the overall progression is you are getting a little bit worse every day. It is possible to change that direction, so that you're overal progression is getting a little bit better every day. Make your healing process a series of small steps rather than a big, difficult leap to total health immediately. Make it your goal to get a little bit better every day.

In order for healing to take place, the cause of the illness must be eliminated first. So first the destruction of the myelin is stopped - the cause is eliminated. And second, the body rebuilds the nerves that have been damaged or creates new ones.

What we are talking about here is truly miraculous - the body's ability to heal itself! Your body is incredibly intelligent, much more intelligent than all of medicine and science put together. Medicine and science glimpse only and dimly the astonishing miracles your body performs every single day you are alive. From the time it was discovered that multiple sclerosis was a demyelinating disease, doctors and scientists have maintained that it is impossible for the body to repair or replace the damaged myelin. But the healing pathways we know about today were not known just a few years ago. Knowledge of the healing process is progressing at a rapid rate. But the notion that the myelin cannot regenerate has persisted and is false. The myelin can regenerate!

The natural way is the best way!

Medical procedures at best can only slow down the progression of the disease - at worst can actually accelerate it, as we see all too often. We all should stand in awe of the magnificence of our creation and start working with our body's natural, God-given ability to heal itself rather than against it.

To reiterate, the causes of multiple sclerosis must be corrected. We facilitate the process by providing the body everything it needs to function optimally. We Alkalize, Cleanse, Balance, and Nourish the body.

Therapies do not and cannot work because they do not address the factors that propagate the disease. The best any therapy can hope for, like medicine, is to relieve some of the symptoms or to slow down the progression of the disease. But there is real scientific evidence that this disease can be reversed!

The disease is a creation from your lifestyle. But it is not a creation that happened in the past and is now over and done with. The creation is literally happening right now. The disease is being created right now by the factors that cause it. These factors are being maintained by lifestyle and are actively supporting the disease right now. The disease is the effect of these causes, as they occurred in the past and as they are occurring in the present. Stop supporting the disease right now! Change the direction of your life!

People talk about the placebo effect. But the placebo effect is very real. That 10% of the subjects of studies will heal taking the placebo is strong testimony to the power of the mind. Everything begins and ends in the mind. The body is part of the mind. What you think consciously programs the unconscious to cause actions in the body. Change your mind! Don't think you'll try this or that. Don't believe you might. Know you can! There are no guarantees in life. But if you do your part and do it heartily and give it 100%, I will personally guarantee you will succeed.

There has never been a better time for the hope of complete recovery!

This is about real hope, not false hope. But some people just do not have what it takes. Some people unconsciously choose sickness and death - so they can stay with what they know. Fear of the unknown paralyzes them from making the changes necessary for healing to take place. Sometimes the nerve damage can be so severe that those nerves can never work again. But if the body can heal, it will heal with our program. And if it is too far gone to achieve a complete reversal, at least the person's quality of life can definitely be improved.

Too often we hear, "That can't work. I've already tried everything. Nothing works." But they haven't tried everything! They haven't tried our program! Besides, trying isn't doing. When you try, you leave an opening for failure. And when you leave an opening for failure, failure is the likely result.

The commitment to do what it takes is the key to success!

You must have the burning desire to get better and the knowledge of how the process works biologically and the commitment to follow through. We've seen case after case of terminally ill people who refused to give up, and today they are disease free, living the lives of normal, healthy human beings. We know of people whose nerves were completely severed who created new nerve pathways through sheer determination and courage and following through.

Miracles are not for somebody else!

Miracles are for you!

Get ready to heal!

But remember this: You can't expect changes as long as you continue to do the same things you have been doing. To get changes you have to make changes.

It is possible!
