An Overview Of Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is described as an autoimmune disease which occurs with immune system causing harm to the central nervous system resulting in demyelination (a condition occurring with the loss and damage of myelin sheaths that are responsible for isolation and separation of neurons existing in the brain as well as spinal chord).
Young adults especially women are mostly prone to multiple sclerosis. The exact cause behind multiple sclerosis is not known. However, genetic and environmental factors such as viral attack and weak immune system are believed to be contributors to this condition.
Researchers consider it as an autoimmune disease as they believe that the condition may occur as a result of an attack of immune system itself in the body.
Natural cures are observed to be highly effective in patients with worst diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Currently studies are underway to find out the genetic aspect of multiple sclerosis.
According to studies multiple sclerosis can be found in particular ethnic groups. According to studies multiple sclerosis may hardly be found in Eskimos, Gypsies and other ethnic groups like African Bantu.
Asians and other groups such as natives of North and South America are rarely found to have this condition.
According to researchers a person can be at the risk of getting multiple sclerosis if this condition affects his immediate family member.
Environmental factors are also considered as major triggers of multiple sclerosis.
There can be a variety of treatment for multiple sclerosis depending upon its severity.
Prescription medication, routine treatment procedure and natural remedies are among treatments which can effectively bring positive results.
Prescription drugs alone cannot cure the condition altogether; though they can reduce the symptoms to a large extent. Avonex and Betaseron are some common drugs which are used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis is believed to be caused by inheriting genetic dysfunctions apart from the environmental factors. Even exposure to chemicals, virus, and bacterium may lead to this condition.
Person with multiple sclerosis must follow a juice fast for at least five days.
A person with multiple sclerosis can also have an option of adopting lacto-vegetarian in addition to raw and fresh butter without salt. He can also have homemade cottage cheese besides including soured milk in his diet.
It is advisable to take carrot, cabbage, cucumber and other vegetables like tomato and red beet can be helpful in treatment of multiple sclerosis.
