Understanding Multiple Sclerosis

In the following reports you are going to learn about multiple sclerosis and autoimmune diseases in general. Many things that your doctor never told you because he didn't know. About what may be happening to your body when you have it. What the underlying causes of it may be. And what may need to be considered in attempting to deal with it. So that you may have a better understanding of what to do to fight it.

Multiple sclerosis shares much in common with other autoimmune diseases. Research on any particular one usually applies to the other autoimmune diseases to some degree. They have similar underlying causes and conditions, and consequently similar ways of dealing with them.

The main symptoms that label an autoimmune disease as multiple sclerosis include the attack on the myelin sheath that causes nerve damage. It can be diagnosed by lesions in the brain that do not move when a second MRI is done 6 months later. One research study found that most damaged myelin sheaths had a herpes virus in it. So there appears to be a strong viral component to the origin of this illness. There are different types of multiple sclerosis but I have not read any explanation of why one occurs and not the other.

Lack of vitamin D appears to be strongly correlated with multiple sclerosis. It is more common in northern climates where there is less sunlight and therefore less vitamin D is produced by the skin. I have read that intake up to 1400 units a day may be called for when fighting MS. Diets low in saturated fats seem to be somewhat protective while with many autoimmune diseases a saturated fat like coconut oil is very good. I do not know if research would show that coconut oil is also good for MS. For repair of the myelin sheath essential fatty acids and MSM have been noted to be of value. And oxygen supplementation appears to have much higher usage in multiple sclerosis and can produce dramatic results in some cases when enough is used.

Many issues in multiple sclerosis are common to most autoimmune diseases.

In the following report you will learn about symptoms that you may not necessarily be aware of being caused by multiple sclerosis. Then I will attempt to explain in as comprehensive and understandable a way as possible, the various possible causes of autoimmune diseases, the vast number of problems that develop in your body when you have, and what to consider in deciding how to combat multiple sclerosis so you may be able to get healthy again.
