MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the central nervous system affecting the brain, optic nerves of the eye, and the spinal chord. MS destroys the myelin sheaths that cover the nerves, leaving scar tissue and eventually killing the nerve. This process is called Sclerosis. Symptoms of multiple sclerosis include dizziness, mood changes, depression, eye problems, blurred or double vision, tingling or numbness is due to a diet high in saturated fats, cholesterol, and alcohol.

Nutrient/Supplement                                                   Helpful Notes

• Omega Fatty Acids                   People with multiple sclerosis are often found to be lacking in fatty acids which can help control the symptoms of MS. Omega fatty acids come from fish oil normally but also can be found plant sources such as flax seed oil and borage seed oil. There are supplements which contain all of these, usually with excellent results.
• Inositol                                       Stimulates the central nervous system and aids in protecting the myelin sheath damaged by multiple sclerosis.
• B Vitamins                                 B vitamins help strengthen the immune system and also help maintain healthy nerves. B6 promotes red blood cell production and B12 helps protect against nerve damage.
• GLA                                           Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is an essential fatty acid which is often used in combination with omega fatty acids to help control and reduce the health problems caused by multiple sclerosis.
• Magnesium                                 Magnesium helps balance calcium, which is beneficial to people with multiple sclerosis. A good source of magnesium is a quality multi-vitamin and mineral supplement, especially one with calcium, magnesium, and selenium.
• Acidophilus                                 Helps increase the absorption of nutrients and detoxify harmful substances as well as aids in digestion.
• Multi-Vitamin                             Contains vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin A, selenium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium and calcium, which all are helpful for MS.
