How To Overcome Multiple SclerosisIf you or a loved one is living with Multiple Sclerosis, you are painfully aware of the physical and emotional impact of this debilitating condition. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society notes about 400,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and worldwide, the disease affects about 2.5 million people. The disorder often strikes people in the prime of their lives - generally between the ages of 20 and 50. However it can first appear in childhood or make its first appearance after the age of 60. Regardless of when it strikes, the effect can be devastating. America watched as the late comedian Richard Pryor slowly lost his ability to speak properly, walk normally, and see clearly. The emotional impact of the disease made a strong, athletic, military man, like Montel Williams literally cry out for help. As a matter of fact, the emotional repercussions may be the most challenging aspect of all for some people. Emotions ebb and flow depending on the stage of progression of the disorder, if you are having flare-ups, and the struggles of managing Multiple Sclerosis day-to-day. Negative emotions are normal and understandable. Anger, anxiety, sadness, and guilt – all can feel overpowering at times. More than likely you’ve fully educated yourself on this terrible disorder through research and communication with your doctor. Perhaps you’ve learned something like this: The disorder is chronic and incurable. The outcome is variable and unpredictable. Depending on which nerves are involved, the disease can be mild or very serious. In the worst cases, MS can render a person unable to write, speak, or walk. The average survival is 35 years after diagnosis. A rare form of acute MS can be fatal quickly. MS is a condition that tends to remit and recur spontaneously for which there is no universally effective treatment. As the disorder progresses, there is a progressive loss of function with less improvement between attacks. With a gloomy prognosis like this, it’s all too easy to be overwhelmed. I urge you not to give in to despair. Because… Even though the medical community tells you there is nothing you can do, what you’re about to read in this report reveals real hope and a definite action plan for overcoming Multiple Sclerosis.You’ll learn more about the multitude of symptoms caused by MS, those you may not necessarily be aware of. It may be that your doctor hasn’t identified the cause of some of your symptoms. This may have led to years of uncertainty and multiple diagnoses interspersed by perplexing symptoms that mysteriously come and go. This is commonly the case. In addition to reviewing the symptoms, I’ll explain in easy to understand terms: the underlying causes of autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis the vast number of problems that develop in your body how to combat Multiple Sclerosis and get healthy again What Causes Multiple Sclerosis?Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. The exact cause is not known, but MS is believed to result from damage to the myelin sheath, the protective material that surrounds nerve cells. Scars (scleroses) form on the nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. These scars result from lesions that destroy the myelin sheath, a process known as demyelination. A healthy myelin sheath is crucial for normal body movement and sensations. If damaged nerve impulses go “haywire”, they can’t travel quickly and accurately along the nerve fibers. The result is a vast array of neurological disabilities. In addition to nerve damage, inflammation also wreaks havoc on the myelin sheath. Inflammation occurs when the body's own immune cells attack the nervous system. The inflammation destroys the myelin, leaving multiple areas of scar tissue (sclerosis) – thus the name Multiple Sclerosis. It also causes nerve impulses to slow down or become blocked, leading to the symptoms of MS. Repeated episodes, or flare ups, of inflammation can occur along any area of the brain and spinal cord. One research study found that most damaged myelin sheaths contain herpes virus. So there appears to be a strong viral component to the origin of this illness. There are different types of Multiple Sclerosis but I have not read any explanation of why one occurs and not the other. Lack of vitamin D appears to be strongly correlated with Multiple Sclerosis. It is more common in northern climates where there is less sunlight and therefore less vitamin D is produced by the skin. I have read that intake up to 4000 units a day may be called for when fighting MS. Diets low in saturated fats seem to be somewhat protective while with many autoimmune diseases a saturated fat like coconut oil is very good. I do not know if research would show that coconut oil is also good for MS, but it does help kill viruses. Later on in this report, we will cover products that literally repair the myelin sheath. MS is a progressive disease, meaning the nerve damage (neurodegeneration) gets worse over time. The majority of people experience the disease as a series of attacks where they'll have some difficulty with sensation or coordination or vision or balance, and then they heal. There may be weeks or months before another attack. MS can be diagnosed by the presence of lesions in the brain that are still apparent 6 months after the initial MRI is performed. In spite of the debilitating symptoms, MS is neither contagious nor fatal. People with MS have a life expectancy that is not really any different from the general population. The leading causes of death in the MS community are heart disease, cancer, and stroke.
MS usually affects women more than men. Women have typically been much more likely to be diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis than men, and that gap has widened significantly in the past 60 years, according to new research. Some contributing factors might be the use of birth control pills, earlier menstruation, rising rates of obesity, more women smoking, and later ages at first pregnancies. Multiple Sclerosis As An Autoimmune DiseaseMultiple Sclerosis shares much in common with other autoimmune diseases. Research on any particular one usually applies to the other autoimmune diseases to some degree. They have similar underlying causes and conditions, and consequently similar ways of dealing with them. As an autoimmune disease, MS can cause multiple problems. Some occur frequently and early in the disease, while others may not appear until the condition has progressed. However, even when symptoms aren’t apparent there is still ongoing damage to the central nervous system. To get a better understanding of how your body is affected, let’s start with the symptoms common to autoimmune diseases. I’ll explain the various possible causes of them, the problems associated with autoimmune disease, and what to consider as you choose the best method to combat them. You’ll discover information your doctor probably hasn’t told you - and as you continue to read this report, you’ll find a breakthrough protocol that can help you overcome Multiple Sclerosis. I understand if you’re skeptical. After all, you have been told there isn’t a way to overcome MS. But if you read the entire report, keep an open mind and try some of the recommended treatments – your health and life could undergo a radical transformation. Symptoms of Autoimmune DiseasesTo spouses and family members: even though someone may look perfectly healthy, if they have an autoimmune disease, they are truly ill. It is not in their head. Sometimes the symptoms are “invisible” and a definite diagnosis is difficult to come by. Patience and understanding is crucial. Everyone in the family will need to develop an understanding of what these diseases can do. The following symptoms are common in many, if not all, autoimmune diseases. All of them are common in Multiple Sclerosis. Fatigue: It’s not a good fatigue, from working hard, but an anxious, uncomfortable fatigue related to lack of sleep. But since fatigue is a symptom of so many disorders, it’s hard to pinpoint the direct cause. The fatigue may be caused by a disruption of the energy production mechanism in cells, either from lack of oxygen, increased toxicity, infections or a malfunction of the mitochondria. Sleep Disturbance: About 80% of people with an autoimmune disease may wake up three or four times a night. In some cases don’t actually wake up, but in the morning still feel like a truck ran over them. The reason for this is that subliminal seizures kick you out of stage 4 Delta sleep, to stage 1 sleep, so you can’t sleep deeply. When you wake up you don’t feel rested. Short Term Memory Loss: Because of the low thyroid and heart complications typical in autoimmune diseases, there is a decrease in blood flow to the left lobe of the brain causing an oxygen deficiency in the brain. This can lead to the memory loss and forgetfulness that is common in autoimmune diseases. Emotional: Someone may cry more easily, be more anxious and fearful. This is caused by the illness, and is not a psychological reaction! Depression: As with the emotional symptoms, the hypothalamus is involved. This is not clinical depression, but literally has a physical cause that is sometimes experienced as a deep depression right in the heart. Low Thyroid Function: About 85% of patients have this symptom, but only about 10% of the time does it show up on a typical thyroid test. If you get tested, have both a T3 and T4 done. About 10% of people have excessive hair loss. For most everyone, a poorly performing thyroid will show up as subnormal body temperatures. Gastrointestinal Problems: About 75% have this symptom. It can manifest as anything from gas, bloating, cramps, diarrhea or constipation to hiatal hernia, irritable bowel syndrome or Crohn’s Disease. Sometimes taking a simple homeopathic remedy like arsenicum album can make all the difference with these symptoms. Swollen Glands, Chemical Sensitivity, Headaches: Allergies often develop, usually after 3 to 5 years. Eyes can be light sensitive for 6 months or longer. Dry eyes can develop. About 20% experience a very uncomfortable disequilibrium of vertigo, almost an out of body feeling that can be most disconcerting. Pain and Fibromyalgia: Often diagnosed as a separate illness, fibromyalgia is basically a symptom that can occur with any autoimmune disease. If you have it, you’ve got pain, often in the neck and in shoulder muscles extending down the back. Pain can be in the joints and muscles also. Low Blood Sugar: Autoimmune diseases can affect any organ system or tissue in the body, including that which controls the regulation of glucose, or blood sugar. Many times people are unaware they have a problem with blood sugar since the symptoms (fatigue, cold hands and feet, muscle weakness) also mimic the symptoms of their disease. Candida Yeast Infections: These are very common in autoimmune diseases. Check your tongue. If it has a white coating, you have it. Or take the spit test you will read about later in this report. Women may get vaginal yeast infections caused by Candida overgrowth. A Candida infection on its own can cause a number of autoimmune type symptoms. Sinus infections often are caused by Candida. Tingling hands, ringing ears, cold toes and fingers, metallic taste in mouth. This array of symptoms are generally caused by poor circulation but may be caused by other factors as well. Overdoing: You over exercise or overwork when you are feeling good, and then feel worse for days afterward. This can cause serious problems for MS patients. In healthy people the body shuts down when the anaerobic threshold is reached as a lot of pain is experienced. This warning does not occur if you have an autoimmune disease. Instead, the body continues to exercise and experiences no pain as the lactic acid builds up, and the body ends up recirculating carbon dioxide. This is not a healthy thing to have happen to you. It is important not to push too hard when you start recovering, or this will set you back and wipe you out. Fluttering heart, panic attacks, rapid heartbeat, mitral valve prolapse. Usually blood pressure is low (though it can get high later on). The heart doesn’t pump blood because it is getting incorrect messages from the autonomous nervous system. The body’s feedback loop picks this up and over-reacts. And you get the above symptoms. If you have autoimmune illness, it is not likely you have all these symptoms. However, you will have many of them to one degree or another. Below are common symptoms of MS in particular. You can see how the vast majority of them correlate with general symptoms of autoimmune diseases and some are detailed further in this report. Few of these symptoms are unique only to Multiple Sclerosis, however. Symptoms of MS can mimic many other neurological disorders. You could experience several of these symptoms and not necessarily be diagnosed with MS. A diagnosis is made by ruling out other conditions. Visual Symptoms Double vision Eye discomfort Vision loss – normally affects one eye at a time Uncontrollable rapid eye movements Flashing lights before the eyes Blurred vision and color blindness Motor Symptoms Muscle atrophy Muscle spasms (especially in the legs) Muscle spasticity (uncontrollable spasm of muscle groups) Paralysis Slurred speech Tics, jerking and twitching muscles Foot drags the floor when walking Sensory Symptoms Numbness Tingling sensations Pain in the arms and legs Burning and itching Electric shock sensations Facial pain Coordination and Balance Symptoms Decreased ability to control small movements Loss of coordination Dizziness Loss of balance Stuttering Tremors in one or more arms or legs Vertigo Bowel and Bladder Symptoms Urinary frequency Urinary hesitancy Urinary urgency Urine leakage Constipation Bowel urgency Cognitive Symptoms Decreased attention span Decreased judgment Decreased memory Depression Mood swings Anxiety Dementia Other Symptoms Fatigue Acid reflux Impaired taste and smell Swallowing problems Sleeping disorders Additional symptoms that may be associated with this disease: Sexual dysfunction Hearing loss Some symptoms occur earlier in the disease than others. Typically the first symptoms to appear are blurred vision, fatigue, tingling sensations, muscle weakness, electrical shock-like sensations, and bladder problems. Note: Symptoms may vary with each attack. They may last for months, then reduce or disappear, then recur periodically. With each new occurrence, the symptoms are different as new areas are affected. Fever can trigger or worsen attacks, as can hot baths, sun exposure, and stress. When you have a disorder such as Multiple Sclerosis, these symptoms occur because your immune system attacks itself. Something goes seriously wrong. The question is: Why Does The Immune System Malfunction?The malfunctioning immune system is a major problem in autoimmune diseases so let’s first look at why the immune system starts having problems and what those problems are. Let me make this one point first. Some researchers feel that sometimes an autoimmune illness (and Parkinson’s disease) may be caused by consumption of aspartame (in diet drinks, Equal, NutraSweet) and/or MSG. If you drink diet sodas or commonly consume either of these two chemical excito-toxins, stop. They may be a major cause of your problems. There is one general immune system issue in an autoimmune disease: An Unbalanced Immune SystemTo put it simply, your immune system has two different modes or sides. Th-1 or T helper-1 cells fight pathogens like viruses, mycoplasma and bacteria that are inside the cells. Th-2 or T helper-2 cells fight pathogens outside the cells. When the immune system is healthy, these two modes function together, supporting each other in keeping the body healthy. But if they get out of balance, if the Th-1 side becomes weak and the Th-2 side over activated, or the reverse, serious problems develop. If you suffer from an autoimmune condition, in some way or another part of your immune system is worn out. The Wall Street Journal, August 2nd, 2000, reported that a team of researchers lead by Dr. Weyand studied patients with an autoimmune disease and compared them with people of similar age without the condition. They found that patients 20 to 30 years old had a collection of immune cells that looked as though they belonged to 50 to 60 year olds. Worn out Th-1 cells can result in an elevated, overactive Th-2 immune response because they help control Th-2 cell activity. Or the opposite can happen. The immune system must be in balance to operate efficiently. If it is not, it needs to be modulated back into balance. Besides this, several things may also cause Th-2 cell over activation: Stress is one factor. Stress produces cortisol. Cortisol stimulates the production of Interleukin 6 and other Th-2 cells. For this reason autoimmune diseases may manifest after a stressful event such as a divorce, an accident, and a death in the family. Exposure to toxins wears out the immune system, and thus may cause Th-2 cell over activation. In addition to the vast number of toxins in our food, water and environment, toxins come from poor digestion, leaky gut syndrome (usually caused by Candida), toxins in drugs and medicine like mercury in vaccines, and mycoplasma bacteria, fungi that produce mycotoxins, and other infectious pathogens that excrete toxins as a byproduct of their metabolism. This can get pretty insidious. One study by Dr. Dunstan concluded that a pesticide mutated bacteria in the guts was producing a potent pesticide-like toxin, which literally was poisoning the body. It’s like having a miniature ‘Raids’ factory in your guts. He found in a study done in Australia in the early 90’s that everyone with chronic fatigue had this toxin in them to some degree. The worse the symptoms, the higher the levels. There was a direct connection between the quantity of this toxin and the severity of the disease. Even in the healthy control group, Dr. Dunstan found that 40% had this toxic chemical present in very small amounts. Obviously not enough to cause an illness, but still setting those people up for the possibility of developing an autoimmune illness in the future. This is one reason why it makes sense to take top quality probiotics (friendly intestinal bacteria) that help keep bad bacteria under control. Ritchie Shoemaker, M.D. reports on his investigations, which lead to a somewhat similar conclusion: “The invisible link was "biotoxins" - poisonous chemical compounds that travel with impunity through the human body. These tiny molecules shuttle from nerve to muscle to brain to sinus to G.I. tract and other organs in a continual circuit, while triggering the symptoms we define as ‘biotoxin-related illness.’ “As recent research clearly demonstrates, the compounds are manufactured by a growing number of microorganisms that have begun thriving in our ecosystem. .... They tell us, quite simply, that toxin-forming microorganisms have brought a new kind of disease into our world - a pathology in which bacteria, fungi, algae and other tiny organisms have "learned" how to manufacture toxins that linger on in the human body, long after the organisms themselves are dead. ... “The pathogens may differ, but the biotoxins they produce all do their damage by setting off an "exaggerated inflammatory response" in humans. While hiding out in fatty tissues where blood-borne disease-fighters can't get at them, they ‘trick’ the body's immune system for fighting germs into launching attacks of inflammation in many organ systems, including joints, muscles, nerves and brain.” To make it worse, some of these organisms apparently are manmade.As part of germ warfare, and their form has been altered to make them more difficult for the body to defend against. According to Dr. Paul Cheney, one of the top autoimmune doctors in the world, viruses, especially the herpes viruses, and some bacteria and mycoplasma, make proteins that mimic IL-10. This tricks the immune system into activating Th-2 cells instead of the Th-1 cells that are supposed to activate and kill these viruses. They trick the immune system into thinking that the threat is coming from the Th-2 side. So the immune system shifts from the Th-1 mode that would attack the viruses or mycoplasma, to the Th-2 mode that does not. They increase their chances of survival by diverting the immune system. And literally initiate an autoimmune condition. Infections are found in a very high percentage of people with autoimmune disease, often more than one type. The infections are bacterial, viral and/or from various types of mycoplasma. In some cases these infections are opportunistic. In other words they occur because the immune system has been wiped out and can’t fight off these infections. (The Th-1 side is worn out.) Or they may be the underlying cause of the malfunctioning immune system. Donald Scott, based on historical research of government records, reports that a biological weapon, a mycoplasma disease agent, was tested years ago on unknowing US and Canadian populations. This included the Lake Tahoe area where Dr. Cheney first reported cases of CFS. Donald says ex-servicemen who were working with this biological weapon during the Korean War told him that they were told it caused Multiple Sclerosis in a percentage of people. And he says that records show it was given to Iraq during the 1980s to support their war against Iran, and was most likely used against US troops at the end of the Gulf War, perhaps causing the Gulf War Syndrome. Because it spreads through the air, he says everyone has been exposed to it. Noted microbiologist, Garth Nicolson, who is said to be among the 100 most cited researchers in the world, found mycoplasma in approximately 50% of the people he tested who had Gulf War Syndrome, including his daughter. She came back with Gulf War Syndrome and both he and his wife also got it from her. Quick use of antibiotics got them over it. He found that some of the mycoplasma contained an unusual gene sequence probably inserted by a laboratory. This would imply a biological weapon, so perhaps Donald Scott is right. You can read more about this at: www.whale.to/m/scott7.html. Garth found that the mycoplasma do activate an immune response. They then hide from the immune system inside the immune system itself, in white blood cells. This makes them very hard to get rid of. The mycoplasma can cause infections deep within any organ. The immune system ends up attacking cells that have mycoplasma in them, and can get “turned on” to attacking the host cells. In further testing on other autoimmune diseases, Garth found similar levels of viral, bacterial and mycoplasma infections. These (and perhaps the fungi and other organisms Dr. Shoemaker speaks of) likely initiate the autoimmune response in many cases of CFS. Mycoplasma can cause fatigue, pain and over-toxicity as they poison and disrupt the cells they have invaded. They produce potent toxins inside the cells they reside in. These toxins disrupt the energy production pathways so that infected cells cannot produce energy. Mycoplasma also damage the immune system when they invade Natural Killer cells. This destruction renders the body susceptible to viruses. High doses of antibiotics used for long periods of time, commonly a year or more, have had some success against mycoplasma, and some of the other bacteria and organisms that produce these toxins. But they have to be rotated to be successful and the longer you have had an illness, the less likely they will be successful. Antibiotics aren’t perfect for killing mycoplasma because they can’t get into cells, which is where the mycoplasma resides. They can only kill mycoplasma after the cell bursts open, and the mycoplasma must find another cell. Antibiotics are unable to fight the numerous viral infections found in autoimmune conditions. Let’s continue on with what happens in your body when you have an autoimmune situation. This is what happens when Th-2 cells are activated andTh-1 cells are worn outDr. Cheney explains that your body’s only defense against pathogens (like viruses and mycoplasma) ends up being Th-2 side RNase L activity. He explains that RNase L cannot kill pathogens. It can only stop them from reproducing. According to Cheney, "It's a line in the sand saying 'No more replication', and it waits for Th-1 to come and kill them. But Th-1 never comes. RNase L sits there and grinds away, possibly going up and down as the pathogens activate and reactivate. But they never get wiped out. RNase L holds the line, waiting for the cavalry that never arrives." This RNase L activity causes big problems because... While it is trying to hold the line it is, according to Cheney, inhibiting all the enzymes in the body, disrupting protein synthesis and generally making you miserable. Even worse, as RNase L grinds away, it eventually shifts into "afterburner" desperation mode - a more powerful and deadly low molecular weight form. Research indicates that this form of RNase L is up to six times more destructive to enzymes and protein synthesis than the typical form. What is supposed to happen when a healthy person encounters a virus or mycoplasma? The regular form of RNase L inhibits replication and then the immune system revs up and wipes them out. After that everything down-regulates, and they recover. In an autoimmune situation, the RNase L activity shifts to a more destructive lower weight form, and does not shut off. It stays activated much longer, resulting in pronounced cellular metabolic dysfunction. Over activation of RNase L also affects the liver. Liver function declines because the enzymes used by the liver to detoxify toxins are being creamed by the activity of the aberrant RNase L. When this happens, a person become susceptible to toxins. RNase L has wiped out the enzymes the liver needs to detoxify the body. The result is high levels of toxicity and that cause major problems in the body. Liver dysfunction may also cause a Th-2 flare-upAntibodies are produced by the Th-2 side to attack pathogens in the blood. Normally, the liver removes excess antibodies. However, when liver enzymes have been destroyed by RNase L activity, the liver may not be able to remove the excess antibodies. They then might attack cells in an autoimmune response.
As you can see, balancing the immune system so that it works the way it is supposed to is a fundamental need when you have an autoimmune condition. When a doctor gives a person suffering from an autoimmune disease prednisone or another steroid, which most do, they are trying to turn off the immune system. Unfortunately, the success rate is low because they are using a poor tool. Steroids don’t just turn down the Th-2 side - they also wipe out the Th-1 side. This side needs to be boosted, not depressed. Because unless it is brought up to normal it will allow the Th-2 side to over activate. Both sides are always in a balance. If one is too low, the other will naturally be too high. It’s like a teeter-totter. Clearly, putting the immune system back in balance, turning off the Th-2 activity and strengthening the Th-1 side is of primary importance. To do this you have to deal with the mycoplasma or viral or fungal or bacterial infections that may cause it. the depleted enzyme levels caused by excess RNase L activity. and toxicity that builds up in cells when the liver and the cells themselves can no longer get rid of toxins. The body is a remarkable machine. If you can support and balance your immune system adequately, your body may be able to start healing itself and start taking care of the other problems.
Oxygen, or rather the lack of it at the cellular level, may cause many problems in autoimmune diseases. Decreased oxygen to the left side of the brain can result in the short-term memory loss. And it may also be a factor in the long term malfunctioning of glandular and hormonal systems in the brain. In addition, buildup of fibrin on the walls of the blood vessels creates low oxygen areas where cells cannot produce an adequate amount of energy. This may be the reason a common symptom in autoimmune diseases is cold fingers or feet, and tingly legs – all symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. Oxygen is also needed to oxidize and detoxify toxins. When cells don’t have enough oxygen, they are not able to detoxify themselves adequately. And they won’t be able to produce adequate amounts of energy, which may be a major cause of fatigue. Oxygen kills anaerobic bacteria, mycoplasma and viruses. It works so well it is used to purify water in many cities. (Ozonation.) Why isn’t it used more often with autoimmune diseases? First, when breathing it in, you are limited by the amount of oxygen that can be picked up by the hemoglobin in the blood. That’s why it may be difficult to increase oxygen levels dramatically that way. The drawback to oxygen supplements, the reason they have proven not to be very effective, is that your typical liquid oxygen supplements such as hydrogen peroxide or Vitamin O or whatever, have no way to get oxygen into the cells. The delivery system is lacking. And as the mycoplasma and viruses reside primarily inside cells, and as it is cells that need the extra oxygen the most, these products are limited in their capacity to help. If you want to fight mycoplasmas and viruses with oxygen, you need to produce oxygen inside the cells. Get enough oxygen into the cells, and it may help with the whole range of oxygen deficiencies. Detoxification and Free Radical Damage in Autoimmune DiseasesThe problems in autoimmune conditions run much deeper than a messed up immune system, wiped out enzymes, oxygen depleted cells and pathogens making a comfortable home in your guts. When your liver can’t effectively detoxify your body because its enzymes have been wiped out, toxins build up in your cells. This is especially true if mycoplasma are also producing toxic build up in them. This toxic buildup causes much damage - damage that can persist even if the autoimmune response is turned off. Dr. Cheney explains that once the toxicity begins, the toxins themselves inhibit and injure the very enzymes needed to detoxify them. Plus, the cells’ principle detoxification agent and a major viral inhibitor, glutathione, get used up early on. This makes it difficult for cells to detoxify, and inhibits their ability to kill the pathogens infecting them. Glutathione deficiency has been found to be virtually universal in autoimmune diseases. This deficiency has two major implications: detox failure and viral/microbial activation. Glutathione plays a major role in detoxification. This deficiency impairs the body’s ability to get rid of toxins. Consequently, people slowly become toxic, storing away poisons in fatty tissue, muscles, organs and the brain. This cellular detox failure can make people canaries to their environment. To detoxify successfully, this glutathione deficiency must be addressed. Because glutathione is a potent antiviral and anti-microbial weapon, glutathione deficiency compromises antiviral and anti-microbial defenses, and actually stimulates viral replication. Raising glutathione levels inside the cells can stop the replication of almost any pathogen. A glutathione deficiency compromises our ability to keep old viruses dormant and fight off bacteria. This is why so many people test positive for EBV, CMV, HHV6, Mycoplasma, and Chlamydia Pneumoniae, etc. Indications are that glutathione can stop the replication of any intracellular microbe, including HHV6, Chlamydia Pneumoniae, and mycoplasma. Dr. Cheney found that some of his patients were becoming virus free after using a glutathione-creating undenatured whey protein for approximately 6 months. This result showed that the increased levels of glutathione were indeed able to handle the viral infections. There has been a good deal of research that show how important glutathione is. Immune depressed individuals have lower glutathione levels when fighting disease. Lymphocytes, cells vital for your immune response, depend on glutathione for their proper function and replication. Immunology 61: 503-508 1987. Cellular depletion of Glutathione has been implicated as a causative, or contributory factor in many pathologies including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cataracts, arteriosclerosis, cystic fibrosis, malnutrition, aging, and AIDS (Bounous et al., 1991). In addition, Glutathione is essential in supporting the immune system, including natural killer cells (Droege et al., 1997) and in the maintenance of T-lymphocytes (Gutman, 1998). It is known that as we age, there is a precipitous drop in glutathione levels. Lower Glutathione levels are implicated in many diseases associated with aging, including Cataracts, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, atherosclerosis and others. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 47: 1021-28 1994 Antioxidants are well documented to play vital roles in health maintenance and disease prevention. Glutathione is our cell's own major antioxidant. Why not use what is natural? Biochemical Pharmacology 47:2113-2123 1994 Low glutathione has been demonstrated in neurodegenerative diseases such as MS (Multiple Sclerosis), ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's, among others. The Lancet 344: 796-798 1994 Glutathione detoxifies many pollutants, carcinogens and poisons, including many in fuel exhaust and cigarette smoke. It retards damage from radiation such as seen with loss of the ozone. Annual Review of Biochemistry 52 : 711-780 1983. The liver is the main detoxification organ of the body. In the liver we find very high concentrations of glutathione, as it is a major factor in numerous biochemical detoxification pathways. Numerous studies have demonstrated that patients with compromised liver function due to alcohol abuse have significant reduction of glutathione in the liver. (Lamestro, 1995) Glutathione is essential for the maintenance of Vitamin C and vitamin E levels according to Mr.Tensson. He found that as glutathione levels decreased, a corresponding decrease in ascorbic acid and vitamin E followed, which led to systematic mitochondrial death, which in turn leads to a cessation of cellular metabolism. (It is this mitochondrial death, at first just a dysfunction, that may cause the fatigue found in autoimmune illnesses.) The over-toxicity causes extensive free radical damage, inhibits cellular function, and disrupts energy production by the mitochondria. Consequently the primary energy the cells produce is anaerobic which leads to extensive lactic acid buildup in the cells and more toxicity. Cheney explains that fatigue becomes worse. Pain increases. You feel sicker. Memory suffers as toxins and free radicals damage the brain, and not enough oxygen gets into the brain. Deep brain structures like the hypothalamus eventually are injured and cause problems with virtually every hormone in your body. They lose their ability to rise and fall according to signals or demands from the body making it harder to respond to changing situations. Actual damage to the DNA of the energy producing mitochondria can occur, further limiting energy. As toxins cause free radical damage, you end up with low levels of all the free radical scavengers. They get used up dealing with excessive free radicals produced by the excessive toxins. Heavy Metal ToxicityExcessive levels of heavy metals may also be common in autoimmune diseases. One doctor who tested all his patients found that over 80% of them with an autoimmune disease had excessive mercury levels. According to one scientific study, mercury was found in the cerebrospinal fluid of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients, at levels eight times higher than in the neurologically healthy controls. These levels are difficult to get rid of, and are especially harmful as they disrupt cell metabolism. Heavy metals slowly collect in your body, irritate cells and literally can wipe out the immune system. For some people, this could be a major cause of their fatigue. Most of us have somewhat elevated levels of heavy metals in our system - and it looks like this will get worse. I don’t know if this is true, but I read that in the spring of '98, Canadians found that their rainfall, "contained concentrations of aluminum particles seven times higher than permitted by Canadian health safety laws....... residents began complaining about severe headaches, chronic joint pain, dizziness, sudden extreme fatigue, acute asthma attacks and feverless 'flu-like symptoms." [Earth Island Journal, Summer 2002, pages 34-35]
The article talks about how western governments have been seeding the upper atmosphere with superfine heavy metals like aluminum. Called chemtrails, these are an attempt to reflect sunlight and reduce global warming. Unfortunately, they gradually fall to earth. A Harvard School of Public Health study found that particulates with a diameter less than 10 microns.....pose a serious threat to public health. On April 21, 2001, the New York Times warned: 'These microscopic molecules are able to infiltrate the tiniest compartments in the lungs and pass readily into the bloodstream, and have been most strongly tied to illness and early death, particularly in people who are already susceptible to respiratory problems." Michael Biamonte, at his health clinic, tested the mercury levels in his patients with various illnesses. He found that 84% of his clients with Candida had elevated mercury levels, and that they were 60% higher than normal. The exact same numbers held for clients with parasites. 86% of clients with Epstein Barr Virus had mercury levels elevated by 68%. For those with chemical sensitivities 85% were 70% elevated and found similar numbers for autoimmune diseases. Most other conditions were much lower. This really opened my eyes to the damage high mercury levels can cause.And to the fact that if you have a chronic fatigue, you have a very good chance of having elevated levels of mercury in your body. Getting rid of mercury is confounded by the bile loop. The liver picks up mercury from the bloodstream where cells have put it to be detoxified. However, rather than getting eliminated something else happens. The liver puts it into the bile in the intestines. Unfortunately, this mercury is rapidly absorbed once again into the blood stream with other fluids. So instead of the liver being able to get rid of the mercury it detoxifies, the mercury gets routed back into the body. This is also what happens with the biotoxins produced by micro-organisms in the body. They continually get routed back into the blood from the bile. Methyl mercury binds anywhere and everywhere, in genetic dependent proportions. Females retain methyl mercury 2:1 over males. It accumulates in the central nervous system, the endocrine system, and every major organ, as well as the body at large. (They may well do the same for these other biotoxins.) Perhaps the most devastating are the pituitary, thyroid, hypocampus and adrenal gland methyl mercury accumulations. These disruptions help bring on fatigue, mind fog, short term memory loss, concentration problems, and headaches. People can lose their sense of balance. Women can develop early menopause and endodemitriosis from loss of proper hormone regulation. If the mercury accumulation is in the immune system, the immune system can suffer severe damage. If the brain is the focus, all sorts of mental disorders can occur. If it happens in the liver or kidneys, acute diseases can attack those organs. In muscles, pain. In joints, arthritis. A natural approach to dealing with this would be using something that contains high levels of alginates. Alginates absorb heavy metals like mercury and other toxins in the intestines where they have been secreted by the bile. As these alginates cannot be absorbed, they are excreted from the body, taking the mercury and other toxins they have absorbed with them. Organ, Brain and Glandular Damage in Autoimmune DiseasesLong term overtoxicity, free radical damage, lack of oxygen and nutrients eventually may harm organs, including the brain, and disrupt the hormonal system. Unless this damage can be repaired, a person might forever be physically limited, no matter how complete the detoxification. The keys to body initiated repair are Growth Hormones (GH) and Growth Factors (GF). Growth hormone acts as the "construction workers" who implement the "blueprints" provided by the bovine growth factors. Together they may be able to repair the damage done to the brain and organ systems. People with autoimmune illnesses are very deficient in growth hormones. Greta Moorken’s Ph.D. thesis, published in May 2000, showed that people with chronic fatigue for 18 months had a 50% reduction in growth hormones. When Dr. Cheney tests patients himself, he finds patients who have no growth hormones. He feels that the longer you are ill, the greater the reduction. He also noted that 9 out of 10 patients who were under 20 got well, while only 1 out of 10 patients over 20 did. He attributed this difference to the fact that people under 20 have a lot more growth hormones so even if they lose some, they have enough to recover. Lack of growth hormones means serious trouble. GH and stage 4 sleep are interdependent. No growth hormone - no stage 4 sleep; no stage 4 sleep - no growth hormone. And no stage 4 sleep and you wake up in the morning tired and worn out. Cheney stated that, "At 3 AM the liver comes up and maximally detoxifies. Isn't it interesting that the body spikes growth hormone production not long before the liver needs it? It primes the liver. If you don't get the priming with growth hormones at midnight, then your liver doesn't work and you become more toxic." Growth hormone deficiency may be related to the symptom of over exercising and not being able to recover for days. If the body is unable to produce growth hormone in response to exercise, serious problems result when you exercise hard. Growth hormone deficiency is related to a host of other hormone deficiencies as your hormonal system starts to fall apart. For that reason our top recommended product for hormonal issues is not a growth hormone product but a general product to up-regulate the whole hormonal system. Total Hormone Support. And also a frequency enhanced water called Rejuvin that stimulates the nerve cells to regenerate is very important.
I am not a doctor, nor am I a health care practitioner. I am a compiler, taking information on autoimmune diseases and putting it in a form that makes sense to me, and that I hope, has made them a little more understandable to you. I am sure there are aspects I have not covered. Hopefully this report has given you enough information about autoimmune diseases, in particular Multiple Sclerosis, so you can make more informed decisions about the best way of dealing with one, and take charge of your health. Researchers now believe that the damage caused by Multiple Sclerosis may occur early in the progression of the disorder. The early you begin to address the condition, the more likely you are to decrease the injury to the nervous system. How To Overcome Multiple SclerosisThe following list are our products that we would recommend as the most important to use for M.S. The website has not yet been upgraded to reflect some of these new products. The products are listed in order of their importance with the number ahead of the name being the number of bottles that you will need for 1 month. The price per bottle follows the product name. 1 PRP Factor 1 InLightEner 1 Salagram Elixir and BioVibe combo 4 Glutathione PleoLyposome 1 Zeo3 3 Zeolite Enhanced 1 Rejuvin 1 Zormus 1/2 bottle Total Hormone Support 3 DHLA Nano-Plex 1 O3Right 1 Immune Power Herbal Formula You do not need to use all of these products but, the more that you do use, the sooner you will see results. If you take the top 4 products, you may expect to be over the MS in 3 months with early stage, and in about 5 months with advanced multiple sclerosis. If you take the top 7 products you could be over MS in 2 months for early stage, and 3 months for advanced MS. If you choose to do all of the products the time will be shortened to 1 months for early stage, and 2 months for advanced. For maintenance, to prevent relapse, and for optimum health, continue to use one bottle of Rejuvin monthly along with a bottle of InLightEner. If that is too expensive, just use the Rejuvin, but using InLightEner will give you even better health and a longer life. Below are brief descriptions of the recommended products. PRP Factor PRP Factor is a proprietary proline-rich extract of grade A bovine colostrum, PRP Factor delivers thousands of bioactive nutritional compounds including high therapeutic levels of PRPs and Cytokines. While these nutrients are known to nutritionally support the immune, cytokine and endocrine systems, recent research indicates that they also have powerful action against degenerative conditions and infections of all types. "PRP in bovine colostrum has the same ability to regulate activity of the immune system as hormones of the Thymus gland. It activates an underactive immune system, helping it move into action against disease-causing organisms. PRP also suppresses an overactive immune system, such as is often seen in the autoimmune diseases. PRP is highly anti-inflammatory and also appears to act on T-cell precursors to produce helper T-cells and suppresser T-cells" ...Drs. Staroscik, et. al., Molecular Immunology. PRP factor is specially formulated to deliver therapeutic levels of: Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRP), Cytokines, Nine distinct growth factors, Dozens of known Immune system regulators, Lactoferrin and Transferrin. All of which have antiviral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-unhealthy cell action. In short, this all natural extract of bovine colostrum helps rebuilds the immune system, helps the body ward off foreign invaders, accelerates healing of all body tissue, increases bone and lean muscle mass and replenishes an aging system. One bottle is a month's supply for most uses. Take 4 sprays twice a day. InLightEner InLightEner is an energy elixir that deals with how the cells communicate via light (photon). Both electrons and photons are inseparable and ultimately oxygen. High energy water is directly connected to oxygen availability. This final product is unique because it contains stored light energy and not just stored energy intimately bound to electrons and oxygen. The vibrational information in allows light energy to create faster and more coherent cell to cell communication and ultimately super conductive cell to cell communication to defeat disease that already exists and to defend against disease before it can get started. The immune system is simply a very complex and vast communication system and on the most fundamental level the immune system cells exchange information via light impulses. The US Navy did research on how the cells communicate via light and found that increasing the speed and efficiency of cellular communication has a profound effect on reversing mutation tendencies in DNA mechanisms and therefore cures and prevents cancer of all kinds as well a many other diseases. InLightEner helps to modulate the immune system response as it causes the immune system to work more effectively. A major portion of its benefit though is its effect on psychological issues as it helps someone to be more happy and to counter the negative psychological stresses that go with ill health situations. Salagram Elixir and BioVibe Combo These are gem and stone elixirs that have the highest healing powers of any substance we have ever seen. Created by Dr. Wheeler after 12 years of research, the energies these elixirs give you help stop any disease and enable you to live in much greater health. The most amazing health products there are. BioVibe is a frequency enhanced elixir that stimulates the body’s fight against cancer, pathogens and all diseases. It is an energetic medicine, acting as an immuno-modulator that is effective equally, for either immune compromised or autoimmune disorders. It enhances the electrical interactions and communication between cells which in turn provides optimum health and quality of life. A strong and healthy immune system is imperative for optimum health. Before vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, before tissue pH, before any molecular component can play a role in facilitating human health, your cells are reliant on electricity. The human body generates 3 volts of electricity. This energy is used by the brain to send signals, the heart to respond to stimuli, and is used by every cell to communicate with each other in order to facilitate cellular changes. A drop in electrical activity is most noticeable in terminal patients that are "wasting away". BioVibe enhances and energizes this electrical activity with the special energetic frequencies that are in it. 60% of BioVibe’s effectiveness against MS comes from its ability to kill pathogens by altering their vibratory frequencies. 40% of its benefit comes from its ability to stimulate and improve immune system response against the pathogens that cause MS. Salagram Elixir This elixir captures the healing energies of a powerful salagrama healing stone so strong the Indian experts who have used this stone say it heals better than all the herbs and supplements put together. It may, based on our energetic testing. About 50% of the benefit this elixir provides for cancer fighting is its ability to disrupt and destroy the pathogens that lead to MS. The remaining 50% is its ability to greatly enhance the energy and healing power of the body, enabling it to heal itself. Zeo3 Zeo3 is a combination of a special water loaded with oxygen and hydrogen. About 40% of its effectiveness is from the extra oxygen in this water, 38% as compared to 8% for tap water. The oxygen kills the viruses or other pathogens that may cause MS, and helps nerve cells heal. The other 60% of its effectiveness comes from the extra hydrogen ions in it that kill viruses. Use one bottle a month, 10 sprays four times a day. Zeolite Enhanced Zeolite Enhanced: This is our most potent, frequency enhanced liquid zeolite. Zeolite is a volcanic mineral that absorbs toxins and viral particles, thus stopping viral replication. The energetic frequencies put into Zeolite Enhanced help to kill viruses, and also work to stimulate the immune system response against viruses. About 50% of its benefit comes from its viral fighting abilities. About 50% comes from it being an excellent detoxifier of heavy metals and other toxins. It attracts toxins to it and absorbs them in its molecular structure. Use 3 bottles a month, about 12 drops 3 times a day. Rejuvin The Water of Rejuvenation Rejuvin The Water of Rejuvenation is a frequency enhanced water energized with ancient Egyptian sacred geometry. Unlike any other frequency enhanced water there is, when you drink small amounts of this water, it transfers the unique frequencies to your body that stimulate the anti-inflammatory response of the body, and are rejuvenating at the cellular level of both organ systems and the immune system. It stimulate the repair of the myelin sheath and the nerves. Rejuvin is a top product for every autoimmune disease, viral infections, arthritis and any inflammatory condition, osteoporosis or any condition that needs rejuvenation, It is an amazing anti-aging product as it rejuvenates your cells. Continue taking Rejuvin the rest of your life to stay younger and more healthy. Is sold as a month’s supply, either 2 half liter bottles or 1 liter bottle. Take an ounce a day. Best to take 2 level teaspoons 3 times a day. Put in a liquid or drink straight. Zormus Zormus is brand new. It is an energized homeopathic beryllium that has been super charged with activated water. Homeopathic beryllium is known to be good for pain and inflammation, killing pathogens and more. It settles down cells as it normalizes cellular chemistry, and thus causes unhealthy cells to shut down. A third of its effect on MS is its pathogen (such as viruses and bad bacteria). Another third of its effect is for reducing inflammation. The final third of it benefit comes from its ability to stimulate the healing of the myelin sheath. Total Hormone Solution Total Hormone Solution is a liquid hormonal solution that supports the entire hormonal system for males and females. All cancer patients have a collapsed hormone system. This unique product feeds the hormonal system and activates it so that it can help the body fight diseases. It is a clear liquid herbal concentrate in 10% alcohol. A 2 ounce dropper bottle that lasts 2 months for normal use, one month for high therapeutic use. It is made from isolated fractions of a variety of Indonesian yams combined with a subtle frequency technology. It contains no glandular material. DHLA Nano-Plex DHLA Nano-Plex provides never-before-available health benefits: premier nerve and brain cell nourishment, protection and rejuvenation that is much more potent than alpha lipoic acid. It gives significant help for immune-related concerns, fatigue and brain function. DHLA has far superior free radical quenching power than even R-lipoic acid. It is the ultimate antioxidant capable of quenching EVERY known free radical, which are one of the major causes of chronic health dysfunction. DHLA recycles all major antioxidants, including CoQ-10, glutathione and vitamins E and C. Practitioners report that patients taking DHLA require far fewer supplements and experience dramatic improvement in significantly less time because it promotes rapid balancing of brain and nerve chemistry. 2 ounces of liquid with 48 1/4 tsp servings per bottle. 60% of its benefits comes from its free radical scavenging abilities, 40% because it helps repair the nerve cells. O3Right O3Right is a magnesium oxide and citric acid combination that releases oxygen in the colon. The oxygen and mangesium will help clean the colon, and of course the oxygen will kill viruses. 180 capsules a bottle. Gradually work up to taking 6 a day so a bottle will eventually last a month. Glutathione Pleolyposome Glutathione Pleolyposome: In this unique formulation, glutathione has been encapsulated with essential omega 3 and omega 6 phospholipids that easily enter cells, making this the only form of glutathione that is able to readily enter cells and perform the all important cellular detoxification. Glutathione is the body's most important cellular detoxifier. However, until now, glutathione supplementation or injections have failed to increase cellular glutathione levels because it is not well absorbed into cells. Glutathione PleoLyposome changes all this and is a major breakthrough in glutathione supplementation. Take 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons daily with water or juice on an empty stomach. There are approximately 10 teaspoons in a bottle of Glutathione PleoLyposome. For therapeutic use for an adult, use a bottle a week. 30$ of its effectiveness comes from its cellular detoxification abilities, 30% from its antioxidant effects, and 40% from its virus killing abilities.
