<div class="MsoNormal">

following information about more recent research about <a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/">Multiple Sclerosis mylein</a>, that
there is an enzyme that when reduced can slow the progression of Multiple Sclerosis
in mice.</span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">In the article entitled "</span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Halting an Enzyme Can Slow Multiple Sclerosis in
Mice</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">" in Science Daily (Apr. 30, 2012) - Researchers
studying Multiple Sclerosis (MS) have long been looking for the specific
molecules in the body that cause lesions in myelin, the fatty, insulating cells
that sheathe the nerves.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">Nearly a decade ago, a group at Mayo Clinic found a
new enzyme, called Kallikrein 6, which is present in abundance in MS lesions
and blood samples and is associated with inflammation and demyelination in
other neurodegenerative diseases. In a study published this month in Brain
Pathology, the same group found that an antibody that neutralizes Kallikrein 6
is capable of staving off MS in mice.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">----------------------------------------------------------</span><br />
<br />In the Science Daily article it went on to also say...<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">We were able to slow the course of disease through
early chronic stages, both in the brain and spinal cord," says lead author
Isobel Scarisbrick, Ph.D., of the Mayo Clinic Department of Physical Medicine
and Rehabilitation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">Researchers looked at mice representing a viral
model of MS. The model is based on the theory that infection with viral
infection early in life results in an eventual abnormal immune response in the
brain and spinal cord.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><br />One week after being infected with a virus, the mice
showed elevated levels of Kallikrein 6 enzyme in the brain and spinal cord.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">However, when researchers treated mice to produce an antibody capable of
blocking and neutralizing the enzyme, they saw a decrease in diseases effecting
the brain and spinal cord, including demyelination. The Kallikrein 6
neutralizing antibody had reduced inflammatory white blood cells and slowed the
depletion of myelin basic protein, a key component of the myelin sheath.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">The findings in the MS model have implications for
other conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord. </span></span></div>

shown that the Kallikrein 6 enzyme, produced by immune cells, is elevated in
spinal cord injury, while other studies have shown it to be elevated in animal
models of stroke and patients with post-polio syndrome.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">"These findings suggest Kallikrein 6 plays a
role in the inflammatory and demyelinating processes that accompany many types
of neurological conditions," says Dr. Scarisbrick.</span></span></div>

chronic stages of some neurological diseases, Kallikrein 6 may represent a good
molecule to target with drugs capable of neutralizing its effects."</span><br />

Suppresses Multiple Sclerosis Attacks, Study Suggests</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #454545;"> </span></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #454545;"><br />

<span class="apple-style-span">ScienceDaily (<span id="lw_1317677902_0"></span><span class="yshortcuts">Sep. 30, 2011</span></span><span class="apple-style-span">) — A
glucosamine-like dietary supplement suppresses the damaging autoimmune response
seen in multiple sclerosis, according to a UC Irvine study.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">UCI's Dr. Michael Demetriou, Ani Grigorian and
others found that oral N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), which is similar to but
more effective than the widely available glucosamine, inhibited the growth and
function of abnormal T-cells that in MS incorrectly direct the immune system to
attack and break down central nervous system tissue that insulates nerves.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Study results appear online in the Journal of
Biological Chemistry.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Earlier this year, Demetriou and colleagues
discovered that environmental and inherited risk factors associated with MS --
previously poorly understood and not known to be connected -- converge to
affect how specific sugars are added to proteins regulating the disease.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">"This sugar-based supplement corrects a
genetic defect that induces cells to attack the body in MS," said
Demetriou, associate professor of neurology and microbiology & molecular
genetics, "making metabolic therapy a rational approach that differs
significantly from currently available treatments."</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Virtually all proteins on the surface of cells,
including immune cells such as T-cells, are modified by complex sugar molecules
of variable sizes and composition. Recent studies have linked changes in these
sugars to T-cell hyperactivity and autoimmune disease.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">In mouse models of MS-like autoimmune disease,
Demetriou and his team found that GlcNAc given orally to those with leg weakness
suppressed T-cell hyperactivity and autoimmune response by increasing sugar
modifications to the T-cell proteins, thereby reversing the progression to
paralysis.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The study comes on the heels of others showing the
potential of GlcNAc in humans. One reported that eight of 12 children with
treatment-resistant autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease improved
significantly after two years of GlcNAc therapy. No serious adverse side
effects were noted.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

findings identify metabolic therapy using dietary supplements such as GlcNAc as
a possible treatment for autoimmune diseases," said Demetriou, associate
director of UCI's Multiple Sclerosis Research Center. "Excitement about
this strategy stems from the novel mechanism for affecting T-cell function and
autoimmunity -- the targeting of a molecular defect promoting disease -- and
its availability and simplicity."</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #454545;"> </span></span><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; color: #454545;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">He cautioned that more human studies are required
to assess the full potential of the approach. GlcNAc supplements are available
over the counter and differ from commercially popular glucosamine. People who
purchase GlcNAc should consult with their doctors before use.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br />

color:black;background:white">According to Bernie, when a root canal is done and the cavitations, or the holes left where the root of the tooth has been removed, are not cleaned out properly or if the root canal fails, this can cause anaerobic bacteria to accumulate in the tooth over time.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family:Verdana;

Sleep Apnea Pillow To Aid With Full Face CPAP Mask<span style="font-family:verdana;">The </span><a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">MS sleep apnea</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> combination and the use of a continuous positive airway pressue or CPAP mask can take some getting used to.<br /><br />Although there are many different kinds of CPAP masks and machines on the market, there are 2 main types of CPAP masks.<br /><br />One covers just the nose and uses a chin strap to keep the mouth closed, so that the person wearing the mask breathes through their mouth, while they sleep.<br /><br />The second kind covers both the mouth and the nose, so that if the mouth is kept open while you sleep, the CPAP mask still works at helping to keep the airway open, while the person sleeps.<br /><br />The CPAP mask that cover just the nose is typically tried first, by the sleep clinics to see if it is helpful to the wearer of the mask, but the problem is that if the mouth is not kept closed while you are sleeping, then the CPAP mask is not effective in keeping the airway open during sleep.<br /><br />The CPAP mask that covers both the nose and the mouth is used for people who sleep with their mouth open while they sleep or for people with allergies, which cause sinus congestion, which can restrict the person from breathing through their nose only while they sleep.<br /><br />The nose only CPAP mask is easier to keep sealed while moving around while you sleep, especially if you move around while you sleep.<br /><br />The nose and mouth CPAP mask doesn't seal very well, if you move around more when you sleep.<br /><br />Because I tend to get more violent leg spasm, because of the effects of Multiple Sclerosis, whenever I try to roll over when I am sleeping, I have trained myself not to roll over while I sleep.<br /><br />Adding teh </span><a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">MS sleep apnea</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> combo, and sleeping with the sleep apnea mask and machine, and getting comfortable, while you are sleeping becomes even more of a challenge<br /><br />In spite of the fact that I don't roll over in my sleep, I do tend to move my head from side to side, while I am sleeping.<br /><br />If you tend to sleep on your side or if you tend to move your head from side to side, while you are sleeping, this can shift the full face mask enough that the mask doesn't seal as it should, or it can blow air in your eyes, which can wake you up many times a night.<br /><br />There are adjustable straps on the CPAP masks to loosen or tighten to make a better seal with the mask to prevent major leaking to help the mask work better.<br /><br />One of the problems you can have with tightening the straps is if you make them too tight so that you either get frequent headaches in the morning or you end up with marks on your face from the mask being too tight.<br /><br />One of the things that I have found, that helps, if you were a full face CPAP mask (the mask that covers the nose and mouth) is to use a CPAP neck pillow.<br /><br />The neck support CPAP pillow, that I found that works very well at supporting the neck and allowing moving your head from side to side or for sleeping on your side when you sleep with a full face CPAP mask was one I found online.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Once you go to the website for the CPAP neck pillow, scroll to the right of the screen.<br /><br />If you are interested in finding out more about the CPAP neck pillow or where to purchase one for yourself that I found that works --<br /><br />Click on the link -- </span><a href="http://www.contourliving.com/p-71-contour-cpap-pillow.aspx"><span style="font-family:verdana;">sleep apnea CPAP neck pillow</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><br />If sealing the CPAP mask becomes more of a challenge, as far as keeping the positive pressure air from blowing into your eyes, there is a small additional comfort piece of soft plastic or rubber that can be purchased to help reduce this problem.<br /><br />To find out more about this or to purchase one for yourself --<br /><br />Click on the link -- </span><a href="http://1800cpap.com/gecko-nasal-pad-cpap-mask-comfort-pad-by-resmed.aspx"><span style="font-family:verdana;">CPAP

gain anything from you going to or purchasing from these sites, I merely want to help you who have MS sleep apnea to find ways to reduce the problems, which tend to accompany wearing a CPAP mask, for alleviating the problems often associated with sleep apnea.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>If you have found this information to be helpful or if you would like to add anything else,

Grief and MS Stress, After the Loss of A Loved One<span style="font-family:verdana;">When it comes to </span><a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">MS grief</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">, the death of a loved one, relative or even close friend can be very traumatic.<br /><br />After the initial shock has set in...now what?<br /><br />Often the death of a relative or someone, who you live with, can mean drastic changes in your living arrangements or in how you are going to survive after the traumatic event itself.<br /><br />It is tough enough dealing with the stress that the death of a loved one, relative or someone, whom we were close to, can bring but other stresses can also present themselves by the worry and stress that may also follow by you having to move or having to change drastically what you are able to physically do from day to day, which can increase the stress and its effects on actually setting you up for more MS attacks, excitations or relapses.<br /><br />Stress along can aggravate or even cause more MS attacks or relapses to appear, which can set back your recovery from previous relapses, but to have too many of the typical stressors that can enter our lives to occur way too closes together...<br /><br />...this can even be more than your body can handle all at once when Multiple Sclerosis is present.<br /><br />But what can you do to reduce the internal and external stress that you feel, if this is happening to you?<br /><br />The following tips can help you to minimize the stress and survive the tougher times in life that are closer to a traumatic experience, like the death of a loved one, a relative or close friend.<br /><br />Tips on surviving </span><a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">MS grief</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> and the stress of your life changing after the death of a loved one can include:<br /><br />* </span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Admit it yourself and maybe even others around you that you don't like the changes going on in your life, while it happening.<br /></strong><br />All too often we can either deny how we feel or act like we have to be strong and just accept it.<br /><br />Just because things sometimes happen to us, which are out of our control, doesn't mean that we have to like it.<br /><br />* </span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Do what you feel that you need to do for you to get through it all.<br /></strong><br />Sometimes we need to sort through physical objects or things that belonged to the person that died and that can be a tough job.<br /><br />This is especially harder to do, if you have a shorter period of time or a deadline that you need to meet by when you need to be done doing this.<br /><br />But sometimes, just getting it done and working through the grief later can cause us to stress out much less than if we think about every little thing as we have to do it.<br /><br />* </span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Allow yourself to grieve, when the stress starts to build up to be too much for you to handle.<br /></strong><br />Crying is a good outlet of our emotions, when the stress becomes too much for us to handle.<br /><br />Allow yourself some time to think through things...as in re-evaluate where you need to or want to go from here.<br /><br />The death of someone close to us can make us re-evaluate our lives.<br /><br />That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but we need to figure out what is really important to us in our lives.<br /><br />Death has a way of helping to clarify what is important to us in our lives.<br /><br />* </span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Find a support network, support group or other friends that you can talk to about the feelings that you are going through, who will be supportive and let you "talk it out".<br /></strong><br />Find an MS support group or a grief counselling group to help you to work through the </span><a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">MS grief</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">.<br /><br />*<strong> Do what you can to help improve your situation in some way.</strong><br /><br />Sometimes this is easier said than done, but doing something, even if it seems small can help to relieve the internal stress or even the external stress that you are feeling, while going through moving or changing something in your daily life, after the death of a loved one, relative or close friend. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Clean if you need to.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Sort through things if you need to.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Throw things out or give things away if you need to.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Prepare to move if you need to.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Do whatever you need to do for you to get more order back in your life.<br /><br />* </span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><strong>Be thankful for who is still in your life, who is supporting you and helping you through this stressful time for you.<br /></strong><br />Sometimes, it helps to change your perspective, when you make an effort to be thankful for those who help you through the trying and stressful times in your life.<br /><br />It may seem difficult at first to be thankful, when you are going through MS grief, but the attitude of gratitude can make all of the difference in you making through the stress, without you suffering more major MS attacks or relapses.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">* <strong>Don't sit and drive yourself crazy over analyzing things or thinking through things over and over without doing something.</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">It's okay to think about things...we all need to do this from time to time in our lives, but don't set yourself up for major depression to set in by driving yourself crazy about everything that is stressing you out.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I'm not suggesting not to grieve, for it's part of the healing process, but allowing yourself to focus on becoming upset about everything that is changing in your life after the death of a loved one, relative or close friend will just set you up for more MS relapses or attacks to occur.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">When you internalize the stress rather than finding ways to work through it and find ways to go on living life again, this increases the adverse effects on your body by causing your nervous system to short circuit even more than the Multiple Sclerosis can cause by itself.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">I'm not suggesting that you forget the person that has died, but to the contrary...</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">...for the sake of the person that you were close to, who has died, find a way to go on living as a tribute to how much they loved you and how much you loved them.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Your mind has a strong connection to your physical body.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">You can use your thoughts and/or your emotions to help guard your body from more harm, because of the effects of </span><a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">MS grief</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> on your body, or you can use focus your thoughts and your feelings for a prolonged period of time in a negative way, which can greatly impact how severe the MS relapses and attacks can become.</span><br /><span

Not all of the MS patients, who underwent the same type of procedure as the patients in Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Zamboni's</span> study, showed such remarkable improvements or results at such a high percentage., as the MS patients did, who were in Dr. Paolo <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Zamboni's</span> study group.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">In spite of all of the skepticism that resulted after further studies were performed in the USA and in other countries, which had mixed results that were not easy to draw good conclusions from, the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">CCSVI</span> surgery seems to have many of the patients, who were found to have the restricted blood flow, who underwent the surgery, similar to the procedure that Dr. Zamboni developed for MS patients, have experienced some improvements in their MS symptoms from removing the restriction to the blood flow leaving the brain.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">When it comes down to the studies that were done on MS patients in the USA and the other studies that were done in other countries around the world there are 2 things that should be noted about all of this.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">First of all, the overall medical community has not fully accepted Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Zamboni's</span> findings or conclusions, based on the results of the MS patients that were in the 2 year study that was conducted in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ferrara</span>, Italy.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Especially when it comes to the majority of doctors in the USA. This breakthrough in MS research hasn't changed the definition as to what medical doctors overall are defining the answer to the question "</span><a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">What is MS</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">?"</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Medical doctors, generally in the USA, think of Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Zamboni's</span> findings as being very speculative, at best and not proven by rigorous medical standards of double blind placebo studies and the like.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Secondly, the results and conclusions, which Dr. Zamboni received with the study that he participated in with 120 MS patients had an very high percentage of MS patients who had the blockages to blood flow present and had the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">CCSVI</span> procedure done,</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">were not able to be duplicated with similar results for the same kind of percentage results of the number MS patients that were found to have the blockages, compared to those who did not have the blockages and with the same or similar percentages of the number of MS patients that under went the procedure that had positive results from having the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">CCSVI</span> procedure done that helped to reduce their MS symptoms and </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">But there are doctors scattered about in the USA, who will at least work with you to help evaluate you to help you to find out if you do have the blockages that Dr. Zamboni found in the majority of the patients of the 120 MS patients, that were in the Ferraro, Italy study.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">After keeping up on the continuing developments of Dr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Zamboni's</span> continuing work, I think that the blockages that he found in MS patients are at least a consideration for each of us, diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, depending on our symptoms of Ms.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Since I was having big problems with passing out or fainting spells, my doctors thought that it was a good idea for me to be evaluated, since this could have been a potential explanation for me passing out so frequently over a period of more than 2 years.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">But it was found, after running ultra sound tests, that I didn't appear to have any of the type of blockages that Dr. Zamboni saw in the study he was involved in.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">So it still stands, when you ask a doctor "<a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/">What is MS</a>", that the prevailing theory still is that Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder, which appears to be even more of a mystery to doctors across the board.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Multiple Sclerosis attacks the nerves through out the nervous system, as well as the membranes that line certain parts of the body, like the membrane called the Blood Brain Barrier, which surrounds and protects the brain.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">MS is known for attacking and causing damage to the spinal cord and/or the brain.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Scarring can result from the MS attacks and depending where the scarring ends up being, this can cause a whole list of symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">To learn more, click on the link -- </span><a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/what-is-multiplesclerosis-article.html"><span style="font-family:verdana;">what is MS</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> ?</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">If you found this information to be helpful, or if you would like to leave any comments, we would be happy to hear what you think.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">***</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">We wish you the best on your quest to wellness!

Ways To Help Reduce MS Nervous System Effects<span style="font-family:verdana;">Reducing </span><a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/"><span style="font-family:verdana;">MS nervous system</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;"> effects can be a challenge, since Multiple Sclerosis is not well understood as to what causes it and what can help to reverse its effects on the nervous system.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Multiple Sclerosis is known to attack the central nervous system and cause damage to either the spinal cord or the brain or both, as well as attack other nerves throughout the body.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Repairing nerves or reversing nerve damage is not very well understood either, but medical research within the last 10 years is finding out more and more that the nerves can be retrained by exercising the muscles that are attached to them.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">It is like retraining the nerves and stimulating them at the same time, so that when the exercises are done consistently over a period of time, the nerves are gradually retrain and actually redeveloped, where they were once damage.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Exercise isn't the only thing that can help to regenerate and repair the <a href="http://tamingmultiplesclerosis.com/">MS nervous system</a> damage, but exercise along with dietary changes, reducing stress, getting more rest and using other natural and alternative ways to work with the body can help the body to recover more of its abilities to function again, after the effects of the MS attacks have cause damage to different parts of the nervous system.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Natural and alternative ways don't fight against the body, like using prescription drugs do, and they don't result in the side effects that are typically associated with prescription drugs either.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Natural and alternative ways do take some time to work though and they are not a quick fix, but at least, most of the time, they do help more for coaxing the body into healing itself from the effects of Multiple Sclerosis, at least that has been our experience.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Depending on what the effects of Multiple Sclerosis on the nervous system that you are dealing with, not all natural and alternative ways work for every one with MS, since the alternative and natural ways are not cure-alls or anything like that.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">But to the favor of natural and alternative ways, more doctors are turning to more complimentary ways of helping their MS patients to find relief to their symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">This means that more doctors are considering using natural and/or alternative ways either by themselves or in combination with using the prescription drugs, which are often prescribed for Multiple Sclerosis patients.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">As a result, more MS patients are finding relief to more of their symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, in addition to finding that more of the effects of MS are also beginning to be reversed.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Maybe natural and alternative ways are at least worth considering for reducing the effects of Multiple Sclerosis on your nervous system to help you to find relief from MS.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">To read more
