MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic degenerative disease in which gradual destruction of the myelin sheath protecting the nerves occurs in patches throughout the brain or spinal cord, affecting transmission of electrical signals to nerve cells and causing muscular weakness and loss of coordination. It is a disease found only in humans which seems to affect more women than men and usually appears between the ages of 15-45.
It is thought to be triggered when immune cells are able to pass through the normally impenatrable blood brain barrier into the central nervous system and begin to attack the myelin. The blood brain barrier may be compromised because of an earlier broad spectrum immune reaction that damaged it while in the process of attacking other foreign matter.
A major factor in some cases of multiple sclerosis may be a diet that includes foods that cause immune reactions in some people predisposed to MS, such as wheat, milk, eggs, and foods high in saturated fats. Other causes may include chemical poisoning, bacteria and viruses. Aspartame "poisoning" and Lyme Disease symptoms may mimic those of multiple sclerosis.
In addition, many people suffering from Multiple Sclerosis have malabsorption problems, meaning their body has problems getting the minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients out of the food they eat.*
