Multiple Sclerosis, which is often abbreviated to MS, refers to a type of inflammatory disease in which damage is done to the insulating covers of nerve cells within the brain and spinal cord. The disease itself is known to take on a variety of forms. MS prevention may or may not be a reality. It depends on who you ask. Most modern doctors who practice conventional medicine do not believe there is any way to prevent this debilitating disease. However, professionals who are proponents of natural healing and clean living may say otherwise.
The damage to the insulating covers disrupts the various parts of the nervous system from communicating, which can lead to numerous symptoms and signs. The problems can be mental, physical and sometimes even psychiatric. New symptoms may occur in relapsing forms or be progressive, building with time. Between the attacks, the symptoms might even go away completely. Still, permanent neurological issues typically occur, especially as MS advances.
A lot of people think this disease and its attacks cannot be prevented. Those who have relapsing-remitting MS may use medicine as treatment to reduce the frequency of relapses and delay disability. There are some claims that this disease is caused by shock, vaccinations, injury or pregnancy. Still, not much scientific evidence is available for proof. If an individual has MS, the flu or any other viral infection can cause relapse.
People who are religious or supports of natural healing might believe that prevention is possible, as is a cure. Every person is different and a lot is unknown about the disease. Regardless, there are both natural remedies and conventional treatments that can be used to reduce the signs and symptoms for those who have received this diagnosis.
It is difficult to prevent something for which you do not know the cause of. This is the case with MS. To date, doctors are not entirely sure of what causes this. Some believe it is destruction by the immune system or failure of myelin-producing cells. These causes may be the result of environmental factors, genetics or serious infections. Typically MS is diagnosed by the signs and symptoms present in a patient, as well as test results that confirm it.
There is also no known or widely accepted cure for the disease. Treatments are designed to improve the function after attacks and prevent future attacks. Medications are often used as treatment, but those interested in natural healing may employ natural herbs and other remedies as treatment. There are many who prefer to pursue these alternative treatments.
The outcome in the long term for these patients is difficult to predict. Still, the best results are usually seen in those who developed MS early on, people with relapsing course, women, and those with few attacks. Life expectancy is 5-10 years less than those unaffected by MS, which is one of the reasons many are interested in prevention.
MS prevention may or may not be possible, depending on who you ask. Most professionals who practice modern, conventional medicine believe that there is no way to prevent this inflammatory disease. Others believe that preventative measures cannot be taken. This disease has been different signs and symptoms, and manifests differently in every person.
