Multiple Sclerosis

|
Introduction:This is a chronic disease of the nervous system whereby the myelin sheath, (which covers and protects nerve endings much like the insulating cover on an electrical wire), is slowly destroyed by the body's own immune system possibly by overzealous killer 'T' cells. The nerve axons within several regions of the brain and spinal cord also suffer destruction. Movement is impaired by poor nerve response giving the sensations of weakness, pins and needles, numbness and poor co-ordination. It's absolute causes remains unknown but it is speculated to be heredity and triggered by a virus. Whatever its cause it is a neurological breakdown and as such the nervous system must be supported. There is reason to believe that because of the number of T-cell manufacturing 70 - 80% occurring in the gut that a healthy gut with lively enzyme production is an important treatment strategy. Professional support must be sought. |

Nutritional Advice:Good food, rich in B vitamins and other nerve foods must predominate. Herbalist Richard Schulze makes the point that nerve foods like spirulina and non-active yeast's enter the blood stream and are used very quickly, with little digestion required. Superfood would be ideal. Take evening primrose oil capsules (Mega GLA) and or hempseed oil capsules. Herb Quality:A large proportion of our herbs are grown in English soils, harvested using bio-chemistry analysis and many but not always, processed fresh, which heightens their remedial properties. The majority are grown organically and or sustainably wild-crafted. All manufacturing is carried out using licensed good manufacturing practice. DO NOT MIX HERBAL MEDICINE AND GP PRESCRIBED MEDICATION WITHOUT THE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF YOUR GP OR PRACTIONER |
Natural Healing:Hot and cold shower routines, along with other hydrotherapy practices would be beneficial alongside massage in order to increase circulation and movement of all the organs, systems and the skin.
