To date, not as much information is known about multiple sclerosis as is necessary for successful and rapid treatment. This is a disease of the central nervous system that is chronic and in most cases negatively affects the functioning of the brain and spinal cord, and also affects the human optic nerves.
Treatment of multiple sclerosis with folk remedies
As a result, organs cannot realize their properties at the level of the body at the proper level, which leads to significant impairments.
Treatment of multiple sclerosis with folk remedies
Multiple sclerosis cannot be called an age-related disease, since even the youngest people, starting from the age of fifteen, are susceptible to it. According to statistics, the likelihood of getting this disease after sixty years of age decreases sharply. The only thing that can be confidently stated is that women are more susceptible to this disease than men.

Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis
Can be weakened using the following means:
1. Home acupuncture: several times a day for 3-5 minutes, first step on the Kuznetsov applicator with one and then the other foot. This activates and relaxes biologically active points on the feet, improves blood circulation. Massage, swimming, stretching exercises, and barefoot walking serve the same purpose.
2. Apitherapy - treatment with bee venom. Bee stings are done 2 sessions per week. The course of treatment for sclerosis with bee venom is 6 months.
3. Properly selected diet. Exacerbation of multiple sclerosis can be caused by the consumption of dairy products, coffee, yeast, ketchup, wine, and corn. You should not eat margarine, you should limit red meat.
A diet with a large amount of vegetable oils and cod liver oil will slow down the development of the disease. An appropriate diet for patients with multiple sclerosis was developed by Dr. Roy Swank. It must be supplemented with large doses of vitamins.
4. It is useful to take 5 g of lecithin daily, food supplement coenzyme Q-10, 30 ml 2 times a day.
5. The progression of the disease helps to stop the decoction of round-headed Echinops. 2 tsp. Brew the herbs with 1 cup of boiling water and leave in a thermos for 8 hours. Drink 3-4 times a day. The course of treatment is 2 months. After 2 weeks, repeat the course. (HLS 2002, No. 6 p. 11)
Symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Recommendations and diet for MS From a conversation with the chief neurologist of the Moscow Department of Health, head of the Moscow Center for Multiple Sclerosis A. N. Boyko. The disease has a wave-like course, often there is a temporary improvement in the condition, the symptoms of multiple sclerosis weaken, but the disease does not go away completely.
The goal of a patient with multiple sclerosis is to make friends with his illness and learn to live with it. And for this you need to know as much as possible about him. Then it is possible to reduce the activity of the process of myelin destruction, prolong the remission stage, and reduce the frequency of exacerbations of multiple sclerosis.
Symptoms of multiple sclerosis manifest themselves with different severity in different patients. Moreover, often the severity of symptoms is not directly proportional to the degree of destruction of the myelin layer of nerve endings. It happens that one patient, judging by the tomography, may not have a living place, but he feels quite well. And another patient has almost no signs of the disease on MRI, and the symptoms of multiple sclerosis are very strong and obvious.
Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis:
1. Loss of coordination. 2. Impaired sensitivity, numbness of certain areas of the skin 3. Impaired vision 4. Impaired intelligence. 5. Decreased muscle strength 6. Difficulty moving 7. Dysfunction of the pelvic organs 8. Chronic fatigue 9. Dizziness 10. Pain in the spine, muscle spasms
Recommendations for multiple sclerosis.
1. Don't overwork yourself 2. Spend as much time as possible outdoors, but avoid the sun. 3. Take medications only as recommended by your doctor. 4. Avoid sudden changes in climate and time zones 5. Don’t be nervous 6. Do physical exercise daily.

Treatment of multiple sclerosis with folk remedies _____________________________________________ I would like to devote my article today to the treatment and prevention of multiple, or disseminated, sclerosis - a disease of the central nervous system with a protracted course, using folk remedies. Typically, multiple sclerosis occurs in young and middle age (15−40 years). It begins mainly with a violation of the motor functions of the limbs and can last with remissions for over 30 years, shortening the patient’s life by 15-20 years. Traditional medicine considers multiple sclerosis to be one of the diseases of civilization, and in recent years the number of diseases with it is equal to cancer in terms of frequency of cases. Patients with disseminated sclerosis should take 3 times a day, half an hour to an hour before meals, 10 drops under the tongue with a crumb of sugar or a drop of honey, royal jelly. Do not swallow for 10-15 minutes so that the milk is absorbed into the blood through the mucous membrane of the mouth. And so on for 10 days. Take a ten-day break and repeat the course. Conduct 3-12 courses with breaks. Royal jelly normalizes metabolism, is useful for obesity and thinness, strengthens the immune system, stimulates hematopoiesis and regulates the functions of the endocrine glands. Pollen is very useful in the treatment of multiple sclerosis with folk remedies. It helps restore the functions of the brain and nervous system, has a positive effect on blood vessels, helps with neurosis and atherosclerosis, normalizes blood pressure and improves memory. It is advisable to consume pollen under the supervision of a doctor. The maintenance dose for adults is 20 g, the therapeutic dose is 32 g per day. Take pollen in equal portions 3 times a day before meals and always in the evening before bed. The minimum duration of the treatment course is 1 month. You need to start and stop treatment gradually, increasing and decreasing the daily dose over the course of a week. Sometimes entire colonies of various worms and parasites are found in patients with multiple sclerosis. These uninvited guests consume silicon in the body, causing the patient to become even weaker. To expel worms, chop and mix 1 tsp. black cumin seeds and olive oil, 3 cloves of garlic, a piece of Jamaican hot pepper, 10 pieces of pumpkin seeds and eat everything warm in the evening before bed. You can also mix thoroughly ground black cumin seeds with apple cider vinegar overnight and rub this mixture on your stomach. In the morning, take a sip of dill or castor oil infusion, and then go to the toilet. By doing this once a week for 2 months, cleanse the body of all worms. To destroy fungi that destroy the nervous system, it is recommended to place 100 pieces of milky ripe walnuts in a three-liter jar, cutting each into 4 pieces, pour honey over them, not reaching 3 fingers from the neck of the jar, mix well with a wooden spoon and roll up with a tin lid. Bury the jar in the ground to a depth of 70 cm and leave for 6 months. After this, dig out, open and strain the contents through a sieve. Store the resulting syrup in a tightly closed glass container on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. Use it until the end, 1 tbsp 3 times a day an hour after meals, diluting it in 30-50 ml of water each time. If necessary, the course can be repeated after a year. Garlic copes well with viruses, fungi and bacteria. You need 5 cloves of garlic, minced in garlic powder, mixed with 2 tbsp. honey melted in a decoction of black cumin and drink immediately. Carry out the procedure in the morning on an empty stomach and in the evening before bed until complete healing. During many years of searching, I found an effective folk recipe for restoring nerve cells and treating multiple sclerosis. It is necessary to grind and mix 100 g of valerian root, 50 g of heather flowers, mint leaves, herb, oregano and roots of peony angustifolia, 200 g of the whole motherwort plant, 30 g of lemon balm herb, 70 g of yellow sweet clover flowers, 20 g each of hops, thyme , blue cyanosis and pour 1 tbsp. mixture with a glass of boiling water. Leave for 10 minutes, be sure to add a little honey or burnt sugar, strain and drink warm in small sips. It is very good to pour 200 g of the mixture into 5 liters of water in an enamel bowl, bring to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes over low heat, strain and pour the broth over your hair and whole body, mentally driving away all negative emotions. To strengthen the brain and spinal cord, as well as improve vision, you need to chop and mix 1 tbsp. seeds of black cumin, cinnamon, cloves, spikenard (musk root), mix until a homogeneous mixture is obtained with natural honey and eat 1/3 of the volume at night before bed, and rub the remaining product, carefully rubbing, onto the pre-shaved head and spine. Sleep under a cloudless sky in the air, without covering your head or wearing a shirt. And so for seven summer nights. In the treatment of multiple sclerosis with folk remedies, mumiyo is often used. An 8-10% alcohol solution is rubbed along the trunk of the spine for 20 days daily for 5-6 minutes, while 0.2 g of mumiyo with honey is taken orally. The condition of patients with multiple sclerosis is alleviated by performing breathing exercises, as well as dry body mass with a brush made of thick natural bristles at least 2 cm long. Massage from the palm in the direction of the shoulder. Then move the brush from the toes to the groin, and then through the thigh to the buttock. Stroke the stomach in a circular motion in a clockwise direction. Start massage of the spine at the height of the sacral bone, massaging outward, that is, from the vertebrae to the left and right, moving upward. Repeat each exercise several times. The entire procedure should last no less than 5 and no longer than 10 minutes. Massage with a brush, of course, provides relief, but before doing it, be sure to consult with your doctor. Massaging with a brush is useful for poor circulation, reduced acidity of gastric juice, exhaustion of the body, paralysis, bronchial asthma, leg cramps, functional disorders of the heart and kidneys, during menopause, as well as during recovery from a serious illness. Massage with a brush is strictly prohibited in case of inflammation of the appendix, peritoneum, liver and pancreas, intestinal obstruction, all neoplasms, bleeding and blood diseases. For disseminated sclerosis, it is recommended to wipe the entire body with an aqueous solution of apple cider vinegar (10 mg of vinegar per 1 liter of water). From time to time, dip the towel into the cold solution, twist it and first wipe your face, then your stomach, shoulders and feet. Carry out the procedure for 1-2 minutes, gradually increasing its duration. After drying, dry off and get dressed. Women should not stop wiping even during menstruation. Improves the condition of multiple sclerosis by drinking juice mixtures in the morning on an empty stomach: 300 ml of carrot juice and 180 ml of spinach; 210 ml carrot juice, 120 ml celery, 60 ml parsley and 90 ml spinach; 270 ml carrot juice, 150 ml celery and 60 ml parsley; 360 ml carrot juice and 120 ml parsley. You can mix 1 tsp in the morning. lemon juice, honey, sunflower oil and take on an empty stomach. Also mix 12 parts by volume of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 0.5 parts each of honey and olive oil, and then take 1 tsp. mixture in the morning on an empty stomach. In the evening before bed, freshly squeezed juice of ½ lemon and 1 tsp. honey is diluted in ¼ cup of boiled water and drunk at night. Grains heal the nervous system. In the morning, pour 0.5 liters of milk into an enamel bowl with 100 g of oatmeal, bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes over low heat. Add 50 g of wheat, rye or rice bran and cook for another 5 minutes. Add honey, walnuts, flax seeds to the finished porridge to taste and chew thoroughly, eat on an empty stomach. This daily breakfast improves memory and promotes good digestion. Bagels, the recipe for which I offer below, strengthen the heart and create a positive emotional mood, which is very important for patients with multiple sclerosis. Pour into 0.5 kg of flour 10 g of nutmeg and cinnamon ground into powder, 5 g of ground cloves (spices), beat in 2 eggs, add 100 g of butter, nuts to taste, dilute with kefir and knead into a thick dough. Form it into bagels and bake them in the oven. Eat 2-3 bagels with tea several times a day, and soon you will feel a significant improvement. Such bagels, if made with buckwheat or rye flour, perfectly regulate blood pressure. Medicinal herbs play an important role in treating the consequences of multiple sclerosis. In case of partial paralysis, chop and mix 300 g of dry walnut leaves, ivy grass and soapwort, pour the mixture with 10 liters of water and boil for 1 hour, without bringing to a boil. After this, cover the pan and leave for 2 hours. Strain, reheat and dissolve 50 g of table salt in the broth. Keep paralyzed limbs in this solution 3 times a day for 30 minutes. The decoction can be stored in a cold place and used warmed for three days. The course of treatment is 25 days. Intermittent claudication in people with multiple sclerosis often occurs due to obstruction of blood flow to the arms and legs, as well as progressive muscle paralysis. The following recipes will help you cope with this: 1. Pass 4 lemons through a meat grinder, including the skin, but without the seeds, and add 3 tbsp to the lemon mixture. ground lemon balm leaves into powder, 1 tbsp. thyme and cinnamon herb powders, add 0.5 kg of honey, 20 ml of pharmaceutical tinctures of valerian, hawthorn and mix everything thoroughly. Take 1 tbsp. 3 times a day an hour before meals until improvement. 2. Grind and mix 100 g of walnut leaves, 50 g of the whole elderberry plant and pine tops, pour the mixture with 6 liters of water, bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes over low heat. At the end of cooking, add a handful of table salt, then strain and pour the broth into a bath with a water temperature of 36°C. Take it for 10 minutes 1 time per day until improvement. Rubbing them with tinctures of shepherd's purse and herbal medicine will restore mobility to paralyzed limbs. You need to wash the grass, chop it, pour it into the bottle up to the neck, fill it to the top with vodka and leave it in a warm place for 10 days, shaking the contents often. The prepared tincture is rubbed into the muscles 2-3 times a day for atrophy and paralysis. After rubbing, cover yourself with a warm blanket and put on woolen socks. Strengthen leg muscles in case of multiple sclerosis by taking baths with a decoction of meadow clover and drinking its infusion. For a bath, about 300 g of the whole dry plant or 900 g of fresh plant is poured into 5 liters of boiling water and left to infuse for 5 hours. After this, filter and pour into a bath with a water temperature of 36°C. Take it for 10-15 minutes. To prepare the infusion, 1 tbsp. dry or 2 tbsp. fresh clover flowers are poured with a glass of boiling water and left until cool. After straining, take 0.5 cups 3 times a day. A bath with a decoction of young spring shoots of pine, spruce or fir has a positive effect on multiple sclerosis. Take it 2-3 times a week. For one bath, take 300 g of raw material, soak it in cold water and leave it overnight. The next day, the infusion is poured into the bath, and the shoots are again washed down with fresh water, everything is brought to a boil and the broth is poured into a bath with a water temperature of 37 ° C. Lie in it for no more than 20 minutes. Water should not be higher than the level of the kidneys. Ginkgo biloba leaves are also used in treatment. This tree can be found in city parks and squares. Ginkgo protects the blood vessels of the brain, improves blood circulation, vision, hearing and memory. Grind 100 g of fresh tree leaves in a mortar with a wooden pestle, fill them with 0.5 liters of 70° alcohol and leave to infuse for 10-14 days in a dark place, shaking from time to time. After this, strain and consume 20-30 drops 2-3 times a day, diluting the tincture in a glass of water each time. This remedy is suitable for active brain function, memory improvement and general stimulation of the body. Grind 3 cloves of garlic along with three tomatoes in a mixer, add a little salt and drink this drink chilled at any time of the day. You can boil onions with lamb, mix it in a mixer with 50 g of ripened wheat and eat. This will strengthen the muscles and give the body vigor. For the same purpose, fenugreek is boiled, changing the water several times, then it is finely crushed in a mortar, a little wheat flour, homemade milk, ghee, honey are added, mixed and this mixture is consumed. Patients with multiple sclerosis often experience optic nerve atrophy. In this case, you need to cut 1 medium-sized lemon into 4 parts, add 100 small young pine cones, 25 g of flowering herb rue, pour 2.5 liters of water into an enamel bowl, add 0.5 kg of sugar, bring to a boil and simmer for 30 minutes over low heat. Leave, wrapped, for 1 hour, strain and drink 1 tbsp. 3 times a day before meals. Many people with multiple sclerosis suffer from urinary incontinence. Here's how to deal with this problem: 1. Brew 1 tbsp of boiling water in a thermos. dill seeds, strain after a day and drink the entire infusion at night. Take daily for about a month. 2. Pour 1 liter of boiling water over 40 g of St. John's wort, dried together with flowers, wrap the dishes and leave for 2-3 hours. Strain and drink freely instead of tea and water. A glass of this infusion, drunk before bed, will prevent enuresis (bedwetting). 3. Taking small sips of one glass a day of yarrow infusion will bring improvement (pour 1 pinch of chopped herb into a glass of hot water and leave for 10 minutes). 4. You can mix watermelon honey, freshly squeezed onion and apple juices in equal parts by volume, and then take 1-2 tbsp. 3 times a day before meals. Store the product in the refrigerator. Watermelon honey (nardek) is prepared from freshly prepared watermelon juice. The pulp is crushed, rubbed through a sieve, the juice is filtered through 2 layers of gauze and put on fire. The resulting foam is removed, the juice is filtered again and then evaporated over low heat, stirring. When the volume of juice has decreased by 5-6 times, check the readiness of the honey with a drop. Nardek is always liquid. Store it in glass jars, sealing them with a clean cloth. 5. Urinary and fecal incontinence will stop and digestion will improve if you mix fresh carrot juice and watermelon honey in equal parts by volume and take ¼ cup of the mixture 3 times a day 30 minutes before meals. In advanced forms of multiple sclerosis, when the patient is constantly in bed, there is a risk of bedsores and diaper rash. To prevent this, stir until smooth 1 tbsp. lemon juice, 100 ml of aloe juice and glycerin, and then use the mixture in the form of compresses, lotions and washing problem areas. Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. A powerful medicine is daily sincere prayer. It is advisable to avoid stress and regulate your diet. If you have multiple sclerosis, you should not consume sugar and products containing it; you should avoid ketchup, mustard, spicy tomato sauce, marinades, chips, salty foods, exclude fried foods, butter, margarine, fresh pork and products made from it, coffee, tea, alcoholic and carbonated drinks, smoked meat, ham, bacon, sausage, sausages, products with excess amounts of nitrates, any smoked fish, flour products and various preservatives are harmful to health. Patients with multiple sclerosis need to eat fruits and vegetables every day in all their variety; the diet should include peppers, tomatoes, cabbage, pumpkin, melon, beets, carrots, beans, beans, peas, potatoes, Jerusalem artichoke and celery in sufficient quantities. Massage, physical activity, especially swimming, as well as mental work greatly contribute to recovery from multiple sclerosis. And it is much easier to recover in the early stages of the disease. No wonder the old proverb says: “One stitch in time is worth nine.”
Exercises for MS
To keep your muscles toned and prevent the progression of muscle weakness, perform a set of exercises daily. 1. Shift your body weight from one leg to the other 2. Squeeze the muscles of the perineum for 3 seconds, gradually increase to 10 seconds. 3. Lie on the floor on your back, bend your knees and place your feet on the floor. Raise your pelvis by squeezing your gluteal muscles. 4. Stretch the expander with your hands. 5. Put a pharmaceutical rubber ring on your fingers and stretch it in different directions. Do each exercise 7-10 times. Massage the muscles of your arms and legs every day.
Drug therapy
Interferon-based drugs slow down the course of the disease. These include Betaseron, Avonex, Rebif. Long-term use can damage the liver; liver enzyme levels need to be monitored. Glatimer is able to slow down the destruction of the myelin sheath by the immune system. It is administered subcutaneously once a day. Side effects: redness of the skin, heavy breathing. Fingolimod relieves pain in acute disease. Side effects include bradycardia (slow heart rate), high blood pressure and blurred vision. Tysabri has serious side effects, so it is used in medical practice in extreme cases when other treatment methods no longer work. Novantrone negatively affects the heart and can cause blood cancer. Used only in the most extreme cases.
Therapeutic exercises for multiple sclerosis (MS)
Exercise therapy is used for various pathologies and MS is no exception. Exercise therapy is necessary for people suffering from MS to maintain well-being. The loads are minimal, you cannot use additional weights, you can only work with your own body weight. Gymnastics for a healthy person and exercise therapy for a patient with MS are very different. When performing exercise therapy, the patient needs to be extremely careful; if pain appears in the limbs, the exercises should be stopped. Exercise therapy is designed to provide benefits, and not to create additional physical activity. A person with MS does not need extra fatigue and overexertion. Exercise therapy should be done under the supervision of an experienced trainer; you cannot come up with exercises on your own. A set of exercises for physical therapy should be compiled by a trainer who deals with MS patients.
Treatment of multiple sclerosis
In recent decades, beta-interferons and glatiramer acetate have been used to treat multiple sclerosis. The main problem is that these drugs are very expensive; an annual course of treatment for MS with them costs 11-13 thousand dollars. At some stages of the disease, the patient can be helped not by beta interferons, but by well-thought-out symptomatic therapy. Individual selection of techniques can significantly improve the quality of life of patients (HLS 2007, No. 3 p. 12-13)
What causes exacerbations of multiple sclerosis?
1. Past viral diseases (ARVI, influenza, herpes), 2. Nervous stress, 3. Excessive insolation (sun exposure). 4. Exacerbation of multiple sclerosis can cause the body to heat up in a bathhouse, in a hot bath.

Causes and symptoms of the disease
Multiple sclerosis can occur without obvious symptoms for quite a long time. The patient may feel well. From time to time, alarming signs of the disease may appear, but then disappear or be replaced by others.
During this period, the functions of the affected areas are performed by healthy cells. The disease can manifest itself when more than half of the nerve fibers are already affected.
1. Nervous activity:
- depression;
- high fatigue;
- nervous tension;
- frequent mood changes;
- decreased memory, mental activity, and other cognitive dysfunctions.
2. Visual impairment:
- decreased visual acuity;
- involuntary eye movement (nystagmus);
- inflammation of the optic nerve (neuritis);
- splitting of objects (diplopia).
5. Propulsion system:
- spasms;
- weakness;
- motor impairment;
- lack of coordination;
- convulsions.
6. Sensitivity:
- pain;
- numbness;
- loss of sensation;
- tingling sensation, goosebumps (paresthesia).
7. Stomach:
- diarrhea.
- constipation;
- fecal or gas incontinence;
8. Genitourinary system:
- urinary incontinence;
- lack of urge to urinate or frequent urge;
- changes in sexual life (sexual dysfunction).
Bee venom
Bee venom (apitoxin) is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, formed in the stinging apparatus of a working bee. Apitoxin has a complex composition: a protein complex, fat-like substances, mineral salts, amino acids, organic acids, enzymes, etc. The enzymes that make up bee venom affect the permeability of blood vessels and the condition of cell membranes. Bee venom, penetrating into the human body, has an analgesic, ganglion-blocking, anti-inflammatory, hyposensitizing, stimulating effect on the pituitary-adrenal cortex-gonadal system, enhances the production of corticotropin, etc.
According to the International (V.G. Kochetkova et al., 1999), bee venom reduces the activity of autoimmune inflammation due to the known fact of activation of the “hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal cortex” system and the release of endogenous corticosteroids into the blood. At the same time, bee venom also has a direct effect on the myelin sheath of the nerve fiber, depending on the administered dose. The most expected effect is an obstacle to the process of demyelination (B.N. Orlov, 1980). These and other facts confirm justified interest in the use of bee venom in the treatment of demyelinating diseases, a group of which includes MS.
Bee venom is introduced into the body of a patient with MS by direct injection of a bee sting (stinging), administration of ampoule preparations, electrophoresis, mechanical rubbing of ointments, inhalation or administration under the tongue. The most common of them are bee stings and ointment dosage forms containing bee venom.
Long-term observations have shown that bee venom, for established indications and taking into account individual tolerance, can be successfully used in the complex treatment of MS. Bee stings are carried out in the lumbar region by 2 to 6 bees daily or every other day. The course of treatment requires from 40 to 60 bee stings. Stings are carried out according to the instructions of the Russian Ministry of Health. It should be remembered that apitherapy for patients with allergic manifestations in the past should be carried out with great caution under the mandatory supervision of a doctor.
Recently, in the treatment of a number of diseases, including MS, bee venom is increasingly used using electrophoresis. The pharmaceutical industry produces a special tablet preparation “Apifor” for electrophoresis. The course includes 10 to 20 procedures, 10 to 15 minutes each.
The introduction of bee venom using ultrasound deserves special attention and wider use. Before starting apiultrasound therapy, the patient undergoes an examination to identify contraindications to the use of acoustic energy and bee venom. Treatment is carried out in cycles of 10 - 15 procedures using increasing doses. The duration of the procedure is 5-12 minutes. Continuous ultrasound - 0.5 - 1.5 W/cm2, depending on age and stage of the disease. An area of skin, usually in the lumbar or perineal area, is pre-lubricated with an ointment containing bee venom in a concentration of 150 mg/100 g. After this, the sonicator is stroked over it with light pressure in a circular or longitudinal motion. It comes into contact with the patient's skin due to the presence of a layer of contact medium.
During treatment with bee venom, it is prohibited to consume alcoholic beverages and spices, since they not only reduce the effectiveness of its action, but can completely inactivate it. The use of bee venom preparations immediately after a heavy meal, which causes a rush of blood to the digestive organs, is strictly prohibited. It is also not recommended to take a bath, shower, or take long walks immediately after the procedures. Contraindications to the use of bee venom are acute infectious diseases, purulent and suppurative processes, tuberculosis, hepatitis, nephritis, diabetes mellitus, malignant neoplasms, organic diseases of the central nervous system, drug intolerance, tendency to bleeding, anemia, pregnancy, menstruation, cardiovascular failure II-III Art.
Application of currants
At home, you can treat multiple sclerosis with ordinary black currants. Berries are rich in vitamins and beneficial elements. You can eat the berries just like that, or make mousses out of them, or squeeze the juice. You need to take this remedy 3 times a day. It is best to drink at least a third of a glass before meals. For variety, you can just eat berries. Considering that they are very sour, it is allowed to add honey to them - it will not harm, but will enhance the beneficial effects of this natural medicine. But it’s better to give up sugar.
Symptoms and diagnosis
Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis is carried out by a neurologist based on medical history.
An MRI with a dye will show the presence of disease foci (plaques) and their size. An MRI will allow you to see the progression of sclerosis, which scars appeared earlier and which recently.
In addition, a blood test is taken for immunological monitoring. By comparing the latest analysis results with previous indicators, you can trace the course of the disease.
For patients with multiple sclerosis, MRI of the spinal cord and brain is used as a diagnostic method. T2 imaging reveals a large number of scattered demyelination plaques, especially near the ventricles of the brain.
To detect a newly formed plaque, a contrast agent should be used. The diagnosis of MS is based on the identification of more than 4 demyelinating areas larger than 3 mm, or 3 lesions located near the bodies of the lateral ventricles, in the brain stem, cerebellum or spinal cord.
Unlike other modern examination methods,
MRI for multiple sclerosis
allows you to see the smallest soft structures, and is an important diagnostic test for diseases of the nervous system.
Causes and symptoms of the disease
As for the causes of the disease, the lack of necessary information is dramatically affecting here.
Currently, experts involved in research into this disease claim that multiple sclerosis is not inherited, and also suggest that the underlying cause of the development of the disease may be a viral infection suffered by a person in childhood.

According to some doctors, another cause of the disease may be significant disturbances in the central nervous system, which is accompanied by inflammatory processes and swelling of the nylon sheath. The disease most often results in scars and plaques. Complete recovery of a person is possible only if the inflammation is one-time and does not have a large number of foci.

In half of the cases, the main clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis are problems with the musculoskeletal system. The carrier of the disease begins to feel significant muscle weakness and experience difficulties with coordination. Often these problems are accompanied by dysfunction of the limbs: numbness, colic, etc.
The most terrible effect is a decrease in the level of intellectual development and loss of basic skills
The course of the disease may vary depending on the degree of damage to the spinal cord and brain. In some cases, the patient experiences virtually no discomfort with this disease, but at some point the disease suddenly makes itself known and begins to progress at a rapid pace.
Remissions and exacerbations invariably accompany the development of multiple sclerosis. Due to these factors, it becomes more difficult to compile an effective set of therapeutic agents. The unambiguous nature of the disease, systematic manifestations and unambiguous course could become the foundation for determining appropriate actions, but in the case of multiple sclerosis this is impossible.
After consultation with a specialist, the patient can count on changing the rate of progression of the disease through the influence of medications, immunosuppressants, anti-inflammatory drugs, and physiotherapeutic actions. However, you should not stop at this treatment, since health depends on the patient himself.
Experts do not yet have a consensus on the causes of the development of multiple sclerosis. It is generally accepted that the disease is provoked by a combination of a number of unfavorable factors. These include:
- Viral and bacterial infections.
- Genetic predisposition.
- Constant stressful situations.
- Interaction with toxic substances.
- Autoimmune processes (destruction of nerve cells as foreign).
- Radiation.
The symptoms of the disease are varied, since different parts of the nervous system are affected. Pathological processes develop over a long period of time, with periods of remission alternating with exacerbation. Mild forms of the disease are characterized by long periods of stabilization. In severe forms, periods of remission occur extremely rarely.
Symptoms of multiple sclerosis vary. Depending on the location of the plaques, disturbances are observed in the motor or mental spheres. The following symptoms should alert you:
- loss of coordination, staggering when walking;
- muscle tension in the arms and legs, numbness;
- trembling of limbs;
- weakening of facial muscles;
- double vision, blurred vision;
- dizziness;
- fatigue even in the absence of load;
- urinary incontinence;
- decreased mental abilities;
- emotional instability;
- pain of various localizations.
The above symptoms can appear either singly or in any combination. They can also vary within the same patient over a short period of time.
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease; the reasons for its development in the body are not fully understood.
With sclerosis, the human immune system begins to destroy myelin, recognizing it as a foreign substance. As a result, plaques (scars) appear in place of the myelin, which prevent the brain from receiving signals from the organs.
Some are inclined to believe that myelin destruction occurs under the influence of a pathogen that causes disorders of the immune system.
The following factors are identified as causes of sclerosis:
- poor environmental situation in the place of residence;
- frequent stress;
- heredity;
- radiation exposure;
- lack of vitamin D;
- viruses, bacteria;
- poisoning of the body with toxic substances (gasoline, solvents, etc.);
- injuries (including brain);
- surgical interventions undergone under anesthesia;
- a type of diet in which few plant foods are consumed.

Eustachitis - treatment with drugs and folk remedies
Most often, when diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, patients remain full-fledged members of society. Disability occurs in 10% of cases.
The sooner the disease is diagnosed and treatment begins, the greater the likelihood of leading a full life. It is easier to cope with the disease at a younger age.
The consequences are influenced by the individual characteristics of the body and the nature of the disease. The presence of frequent and long-term improvements in the condition is an indicator of the success of treatment.
In some cases, the disease can lead to death within several years.
Sclerosis is not a contraindication to pregnancy. A woman can carry and give birth to a child. But in this case, against the backdrop of a heavy load on the body, her condition may worsen. Therefore, a woman should rest more.
The benefits of onions with honey
An excellent remedy for the treatment of sclerosis is a mixture of honey and onions. In order to prepare such a medicine, you must first thoroughly peel and rinse several onions. Now you need to get onion juice from them.
The onion variety is used. It needs to be grated thoroughly. You can use a juicer. Now the patient can choose to consume only juice or juice along with finely chopped pulp. Honey is added to the onion. It is necessary to mix in different proportions.
There is no debate about how to treat multiple sclerosis with onions. This excellent remedy will help prevent the development of the disease, but it must be used for a long time. The product should be used 3 times a day an hour before meals. Onions and honey must be stored in the refrigerator.
