Multiple sclerosis is an immune system disease whose causes and natural treatments are possible today in continuing study.

Definition of Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a disease of slow onset with a tendency to chronicity. Affected the immune system, renal system, nervous system, the joint system and the excretory system.

It is a disease of the restrictive nature which also has to take into account the negative thoughts and feelings generated by multiple sclerosis.

The most important factor in the emergence of multiple sclerosis is the loss of myelin is composed of protein and fat.

Myelin facilitates the conduction of nerve impulses produced in our brains. Damage to the myelin gives us multiple sclerosis. Everyone suffers from different symptoms and may suffer from mild to severe symptoms.

Causes and etiology of Multiple Sclerosis

The exact cause of the onset of multiple sclerosis is not known exactly, but it is believed that the destruction of myelin is due to the body’s own immune response that defends itself and does not recognize the tissue as its own, destroying this case the myelin sheath of the nervous system.

Recent studies indicate a higher manifestation of multiple sclerosis in some areas than in others, may be due to the high content of toxic substances like mercury, lead, aluminum as they are considered one of the causes of the emergence of multiple sclerosis.

The onset of MS is slow, mostly diagnosed in adulthood and presents with mild difficulty then disappear for a while.
We can find nutritional deficiencies such as decompensation of the fatty acids in our body.

There are more number of cases with multiple sclerosis in Western industrialized countries and the large amount of processed foods, red meats, low intake of vegetables, etc..

Clinical Manifestations of Multiple Sclerosis

A person with MS may have one or several symptoms at once. Successive crises may develop new symptoms appear.
We must also bear in mind that not everyone gets the same symptoms but vary from one person to another.
They tend to divide the symptoms of multiple sclerosis in three categories:

* Primary Symptoms
Are those that result due to demyelination:
Weakness, numbness, tremors, vision loss, pain, paralysis, bladder dysfunction, bowel dysfunction.
Some of these symptoms can be alleviated or solved with proper treatment.

* Secondary Symptoms
Derivatives are the complications of the primary symptoms, such as:
Bladder dysfunction, urinary weakness, decreased bone density.

* Tertiary symptoms
Complications are social, vocational and psychological symptoms resulting from primary and secondary.
The tension that causes multiple sclerosis affects social relations to suffer from a disease of limitations on short and long term.
Depression is common in these patients.
