Multiple Sclerosis & Gut Health
Disease Modifying Drugs (DMD) Disease modifying drugs (DMDs) are a group of treatments for people with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). They reduce the number of relapses a Patient might experience as well as reducing the severity of any relapses. There are 12 drugs approved for use against MS by the NHS in the UK. Each drug offers a different combination of benefits and risks. Although relapses are rarely stopped completely, their number and impact can be decreased by taking a disease modifying drug (DMD). Why use DMD? To stop progression. Stopping progression is important as increasing disability can have an impact on an MS Patients quality of life.

Disease Modifying Nutriment (DMN) First thought To build a new brain, we have to take advantage of the inherit regeneration and renewal (RnR) process we all have within our bodies. Every cell in the human body regenerates and renewals every 5-7 years. The central nervous system (CNS) goes through the RnR process every six weeks. So, every six weeks every cell in the central nervous system is new. But, are we guaranteed that the new cell has been generated in to a healthier cell than the one before? Unfortunately not. With diseased tissue, unless we are making improvements to the factors that support the RnR process, like nutriment to feed the cell structure and to help build a better cell than the one before, each time a cell regenerates if the framework has not been modified then the new cell will remain diseased. Building the Brain: Phase 2 So for …

If i had a penny for each person that goes on a ‘food group elimination diet’ and doesn’t get advised/warned about the ‘kick’ of the Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction – I would be that billionaire sailing around the World! Help me out here… read the small print below and pass the message on. Epidemiology Adolf Jarisch, an Austrian dermatologist, and Karl Herxheimer, a German dermatologist) observed specific reactions in patients who were being treated for syphilis with Salvarsan, mercury, or antibiotics and termed the reactions as the Jarisch–Herxheimer reaction. Jarisch thought that the reaction was caused by a toxin released from the dying spirochetes (bacterium). The symptoms occured within the first couple of hours and included; fever, chills, low blood pressure, headaches, hyperventilation, vasodilation, flushing, stiff joints (rigor), muscle pain (myalgia), panic attacks, skin sores, and tachycardia. All symptoms observed were believed to be a cause of the increase in inflammation, albeit symptoms that will either …
