Homeopthy Tips for 10/19/10 Multiple Sclerosis

Nerve fibers inside and outside of the brain are wrapped with many layers of tissues composed of fat. This fat layer is called myelin. These layers form the myelin sheath. This allows the nerve impulse to travel quickly and accurately through the body. If the myelin sheath becomes damaged the nerve impulse does not conduct normally. One of the main disorders of the myelin sheath is Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple Sclerosis means scaring in many places. When the myelin sheath is attacked by virus, infection or an auto-immune response it can cause a demylination of the sheath. Then the nerves do not conduct properly and it can effect the sensory system,  motor system and mood.  Multiple Sclerosis, also known commonly as MS, can have many symptoms and is often difficult to diagnose in the early stages.

The most common symptoms are nerve tingling or paralysis effecting the extremities or the face. The sensations are usually abnormal and can include tingling, burning, numbness, and itching. Eye symptoms and vision can be affected. Difficulties in walking or balance may occur. Sometimes the mood can be affected with mood swings, inappropriate elation, depression or inability to control the emotions. Partial blindness, double vision, loss of central vision, or pain in one eye happens in a small number of sufferers. When the symptoms affect the physical motor nerves, weakness, clumsiness, tremor, and difficulty walking with foot drop is common.

MS effects more women than men. There are about 400,000 in the United States that have MS. It effects the age group from 20 to 40 years old most often and heredity can play a small part of the causation. About 15% of all cases report that a close relative also has the disease. Accidents and trauma can sometime trigger the disease as well as vaccination. One of my clients reported that at a convention on MS one of the attendees asked the question whether Hepatitis B vaccine had any causation. The doctor replied no. But out of a group of 20 sufferers in attendance 5 raised their hands and said that their MS started after the Hepatitis B vaccine. Statistically this is a very high number and convinced me of the correlation.

Diagnosis is most often through an MRI. The lesions can be seen fairly easily. There is no known cure and treatment is usually with corticosteroid drugs for short times. Symptoms seem to come and go in most people and progresses slowly. Rarely is it fatal. People can usually continue an active lifestyle. For some heat can aggravate so hot showers or the heat of the sun should be avoided.

Homeopathy offers more help than any other modality. All clients I have seen have improved. Some are symptom free but I would not venture to say cured at this time. It seems the most common shadow of the dis-ease is fatigue under stress. As with all homeopathic cases, careful attention must be payed to the mental/emotional state of the person. There is always a component that is linked to the physical expression of the disease. Find the root of the illness always.

As you can see by the number of remedies included in the rubrics that there are many remedies available to treat this dis-ease. Remember that all dis-ease is for the person and not the dis-ease. So the prescription should be for the whole of the person and what makes their expression of it unique. Here are some more common remedies that are not of the polycrests. Read each of these remedies in your Materia Medica to learn more;

• Agaricus Muscarius – Agaricus acts as an intoxicant to the brain and effects cerebral excitement and lowering of reflexes, paralysis. The sensations of tingling and being pierced by needles of ice can be present. Jerking in extremities. Diagonal symptoms. Involuntary laughter. Gait uncertain. Ataxia.
• Alumina –  Alumina has a paralyzing and slowing effect. Sluggish functions, heaviness, numbness and staggering. It affects the nerves with delayed action. The pin prick is felt with a delay.  It core sphere is on the cerebral-spinal axis causing disturbances in coordination. Loco-motor ataxia,  staggering, numbness, tingling. Slowness of the bowels with constipation. Dryness.
• Curare – Affects the nerve endings without impairing sensation. Is useful after a fall when the person always wants to protect themselves from another fall. Heaviness in the extremities. Numbness, tingling. Reflexes are lessened or abolished.

Multiple Sclerosis is hard to diagnose in the early stages. Be careful when evaluating a person, and if MS is suspected, have a medical evaluation. The progress of the dis-ease can then be monitored. Always receive the full case of the person. Apply the remedy to the whole of the case remembering to include any known causation. Study all of the remedies that may be applicable to the case and you will have a very good chance of helping this person arrest the further development of the dis-ease and possibly turning the dis-ease around. The western medical model says that there is no known cure and that nerves do not repair themselves. I disagree. I have seen symptoms change and the person become asymptomatic. Do good homeopathy and you can help many people. Please share any of you successes or ideas about MS. They are very welcome and many others may benefit from them.
