Multiple Sclerosis is one of more than a hundred diseases that fall under the umbrella of autoimmune disorders. In MS, the T-cells of the immune system are thought to attack a substance called myelin in the brain. Myelin wraps itself around nerve cells to promote the conduction of nerve impulses. The prevalence and incidence of the disease increase with distance from the equator.
Scientists used to think that only the white matter was involved. It is now apparent that the disease strikes the grey matter, as well. This makes sense in view of the cognitive disturbances, colloquially known as "brain fog" associated with the disease. Epidemiologists are studying the geographic clustering of MS. It appears that people born near the equator who relocate into a region where there is lots of MS become more susceptible to the condition.
Professor George Jelinek, an ER specialist in Australia, was himself diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when he was 45 years old. He now runs 5-day retreats for MS patients, both in Australia and in New Zealand. He maintains his own symptom control with a strict program of lifestyle choices.
Prof Jelinek has five simple rules: Do not eat animal-derived trans fats under any circumstances, take high doses of vitamin D, get regular exercise, learn to meditate and supplement with conventional medications if necessary. Jelinek takes glatiramer, an immunomodulator, to help control his symptoms.
The wife of Mitt Romney, Ann, went to the doctor in 1998 after experiencing the notorious brain fog. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She made public the information that horseback riding offers her protection from the symptoms. It is noteworthy that this is compliant with the Jelinek protocol. When a television presenter at MSNBC publicly poked fun at her for saying this, it flushed out another person with MS, Fox News Channel senior Neil Cavuto, who had strong words for him.
Another celebrities who has been affected by the disease is Jack Osborne, son of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. He first suffered visual difficulties in 2012, when he was 26 years old and a new father. Jack is responding to a healthy eating plan. Other celebrities with the condition include legendary Mousekateer Annette Funicello, country singer Donna Fargo and two of the Osmond Brothers, David and Alan.
Another promising natural treatment for MS is a tincture of two cannabinoids manufactured in the United Kingdom. Formulated as an oral spray, it helps to control the spasticity that is associated with multiple sclerosis. The preparation has been approved for use in several European countries.
