MS (Multiple sclerosis) is a disease that affects the central nervous system. This disease typically begins in early adulthood, with the typical victim being a woman between the ages of 20 and 40. Women are twice as likely to have this disease as men. Unfortunately, MS has been thought to be one of the least understood of all diseases, but recognizing common causes can offer hope to all people who suffer from MS.
Most people with MS have some sort of nutritional deficiency. Numerous studies show that the essential fatty acids are the building block of the nervous system and the brain. Many MS patients lack these essential fatty acids. In Western countries where people eat large amounts of conventional dairy products, red meats, and processed foods, this deficiency is common as these foods contain very little essential fatty acids. MS is uncommon in countries that have diets that are high in unsaturated fats, including plenty of oily fish, fresh organic fruits and veggies, olive oil, and other seed oils, all of which are very high in EFA’s.
However, even with a balanced diet, MS patients have been shown to have difficulties in absorbing other essential nutrients such as folic acid, amino acids, B1, B6, B12, magnesium, manganese, and selenium.
Allergies or intolerance of certain foods are also common for those with MS. The foods that are the most frequent offenders are foods that contain caffeine, yeast, sugar, gluten, corn, dairy products, food additives, vinegars, tannins, wheat, and wine.
As a result of these food intolerances, combined with the Candida in the body, a type of system wide poisoning goes on. Toxins leak through the intestines and into the blood. These toxins are detected by the immune system, which then mounts a defense in order to protect the body. This continual fight weakens the immune system, which then allow other yeasts and pathogenic viruses, which forces the immune system to work even harder. Over time, the immune system begins to attack the cells in the body, which results in autoimmune diseases like MS.
