Antibodies are a crucial part of immune function. They work by signaling the immune system to attack and clear out specific antigens. In the case of autoimmunity, the body produces a specific type of antibody known as an “auto-antibody” – this type of antibody can target the body’s own tissues, enzymes, hormones, etc. When this… Read More List of Auto-Antibodies – A Comprehensive Guide
Multiple Sclerosis is a topic that I have discussed in several videos and articles over the years. One of the primary questions I often get from followers and clients is “What can I do about fatigue and low energy?”. This is a very common complaint from almost 60-75% of people who have consulted with me… Read More Reduce Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks a substance known as myelin – the protective covering of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The exact cause of MS is currently unknown, however, it is thought to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors that… Read More Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms and Pregnancy
When treating a condition, it is important to focus on nutrition in addition to the physiological irregularities manifesting in the disease and their symptomatic management. The body is literally a product of nutrition, and the brain is no exception. The most common brain disorders are characterized by neurodegeneration – the breakdown and damage of brain… Read More Nutrition For The Brain (Evidence-Based)
Often referred to as a feeling of “stiffness”, Spasticity is a condition in which muscles remain contracted for an extended period of time. It can range from a feeling of mild tightness of the muscles to painful muscle spasms that are uncontrollable. It can be painful or painless and may result in involuntary movements of the limbs. This can prevent muscles from being stretched which results in trouble with movement and possibly speech.… Read More How To Reduce Spasticity
One of the most unusual concepts in medicine is that of “autoimmunity”. The very idea that the human body would attack itself is not something that sounds normal – that’s because its not normal.… Read More The Truth About Autoimmunity
Multiple Sclerosis symptoms can often mimic that of other conditions such as Fibromyalgia, making it a difficult condition to diagnose. Patients with this condition often seek out natural alternatives as the standard treatment options are not always as effective as patients need them to be. It is not uncommon for patients to try natural remedies… Read More Multiple Sclerosis – Evidence-Based Remedies
The 4th part of MS treatment involves correcting Insulin resistance and countering the effects of stress. MS is characterized by an auto-immune reaction that involves the breakdown of Myelin (the insulation around neurons) via the process of neuro-inflammation. However, the fact that all MS patients tend to also have insulin resistance, gives us the clue… Read More Multiple Sclerosis – Natural Treatment (Part 4)
In part 1 and part 2, I discussed methods of reducing neuro-inflammation in order to slow down disease progression, as well as a way to stimulate nerve growth and significantly enhance neurological health. These factors play an important role in triggering the process of healing, however, in order for the brain to completely heal, we… Read More Multiple Sclerosis – Natural Treatment (Part 3)
In part 1, I spoke about the importance of reducing/inhibiting neuro-inflammation, in order to slow down the progression of multiple sclerosis. By slowing down the progression, we give the brain time to heal and to start regenerating myelin, thus improving neuron health and reducing severity of symptoms. The second part of treatment involves assisting the… Read More Multiple Sclerosis – Natural Treatment (Part 2)
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an auto-immune and neuro-degenerative condition in which the body’s own immune system attacks and destroys the protective sheath that covers nerve fibers by inducing neuro-inflammation. This protective sheath is called “Myelin”. Myelin is a fatty substance that insulates the axons of nerve cells, and protects it. As Myelin degrades, is causes… Read More Multiple Sclerosis – Natural Treatment (Part 1)
Most people manage pain by popping pain killers, yet they don’t understand the detrimental impact it has on other organs within the body. There’s no point in solving one problem, only to create ten more. Recent studies have proven that drugs like Acetaminophen (Tylenol/Paracetamol), are extremely hepato-toxic, meaning that it destroys your liver. Ibuprofen basically… Read More Natural Pain Management
