Q: a Doctor Explained How to Decrease Symptoms of Ms

4 weeks ago I met a doctor who explained that multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease. This means that the body is essentially attacking itself. One’s own immune system attacks the myelin sheath around the nerve and causes an inflammatory response. It is actually the oxidative stress caused by this reaction that is damaging the myelin sheath. The clinical course of ms is definitely varied. Some of his patients progress rapidly and are wheelchair bound or bed bound within a few short years. Other patients actually have a fairly normal life and will go years before they have any kind of a set back.

He made recommendations that my be beneficial to some of you but there's too much information to post here.

If anyone wants to receive this information, e-mail me and i'll send it to you.
