Multiple Sclerosis is a degenerative and so-called autoimmune disease and is medically defined as: "A progressive disease characterized by disseminated demylelination of nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord. It begins slowly, usually in young adulthood, and continues throughout life with periods of exacerbation and remission. The first signs are paresthesias, or abnormal sensations in the extremities or on one side of the face. Other early signs are muscle weakness, vertigo, and visual disturbances, such as nystagmus, diplopia (double vision), and partial blindness. Later in course of disease there may be extreme emotional lability, ataxia, abnormal reflexes, and difficulty in urinating. SOURCE: Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 3rd Edition (1990), pg. 776

Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological disorder as the disease affects various parts of the central nervous system by way of destroying the myelin sheaths that cover the nerves. The destruction of the myelin sheaths leaves a form of scar tissues called plaque and this plaque destroys the nerves by hardening them, a process called "sclerosis."

Now, as an autoimmune disorder, this would presuppose that the cells of the body, white blood cells to be exact, attacks the myelin sheaths as if they were foreign invaders or substances. Anytime you have white blood cell activity, you have toxicity (of something foreign) on the scene. And when the cells begin to attack the body, you have dharma in the body whereby there is a separation - the cells see themselves as separate from the body and begin to attack the body.

Now personally, I don't view or accept Multiple Sclerosis as a so-called autoimmune disorder. I see it as a hardening of the myelin sheaths. The proof is in the name of the disease - Multiple Sclerosis.

Sclerosis means "hardening." Is not arteriosclerosis a hardening of the arteries? Of course it is! And what makes the arteries harden up? Is it not arterial plaque and mucus? Of course it is! Well, it's the exact thing with Multiple Sclerosis.

With Multiple Sclerosis, you have a hardening of the nerves in the brain due to excess plaque and mucus which dries up. Basically, harden boogers are in the brain and on the myelin sheaths. Multiple Sclerosis is a variation of what I call "boogers on the brain."

This plaque and mucus hardens up in the brain and on top of the myelin sheaths (protective nerve coverings) and because this plaque and mucus is acidic, it causes inflammation and the inflammation burns through the myelin sheaths and it is this activity that affects the nerves. It is the equivalent of removing the plastic coating from wire exposing the copper. If water gets on the copper of the wire, what happens, especially when what the wire is connected to is activated or turned on? Answer: It will affect the device that is activated by the wire and malfunction of the device will occur. With Multiple Sclerosis, there will be a malfunction with the human device (body).

In a nutshell, this is what Multiple Sclerosis is and now, this makes healing from Multiple Sclerosis much easier because now we have understanding of the particular problem or pathology. Multiple Sclerosis is a disease very easy to heal from. You just have to remain consistent with the therapy (remedy).

As every disease has an energetic or metaphysical cause of origin which is very important to know for purposes of wholistic healing, Multiple Sclerosis makes the statement that the sufferer has a desire to become hardened or desensitized for purposes of avoiding emotional suffering. It also denotes that someone or something has jangled the person's nerves and an inner revolt has occurred. The internal or inner battle or war finally reaches critical mass level and the person doesn't know what in the world to do.

The disease also suggests that the sufferer is set in their ways and no longer capable of change in addition to being idealistic and a perfectionist who expects a great deal from him or herself.

Multiple Sclerosis conveys the message to the sufferer to "lighten up." Don't be so hard in life, on yourself, and on others. "Let Go!" Stop letting things or people "get on your nerves" and "burning you up inside."

Because Multiple Sclerosis affects the head and nervous system, people born under the signs of Aries and Gemini are prone to neurological or central nervous system diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis.

Diet cannot be overlooked in Multiple Sclerosis. Acid creates mucus and nothing produces more acid or acidic byproduct waste than the big three of meat (Uric Acid), dairy, (Lactic Acid), and Starch (Carbonic Acid) of which the Standard American Diet (SAD) greatly consists of.

I can't forget about the connection between aluminum and Multiple Sclerosis. It is true that aluminum deposits collect and store in the brain (within the plaque and mucus). Aluminum (and other toxic heavy metals) has rightly been implicated in Multiple Sclerosis. And no herb counteracts aluminum buildup in the body better than the herb GOTU KOLA.

Gotu Kola itself contains trace amounts of bio-aluminum and because of this, when inside the body, it naturally attracts aluminum oxide unto itself and takes it out of the body. Gotu Kola is one of the best herbs for the brain and memory. It works well with Gingko Biloba!

HEALING FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

The sufferer of Multiple Sclerosis needs to say goodbye to consuming meat, dairy products, and refined grains and starches; in addition to sugar, salt, soda pop, wine/spirits, coffee, all products containing vinegar, and chemical additives ( preservatives , flavor enhancers, etc.) to name a few.

Diseased conditions always help to be eradicated or healed when a raw foods and vegan diet and lifestyle is embraced.

Drinking vegetable juice (green veggies) daily will help to loosen up hardened mucus and plaque stuck to the myelin sheaths. Vegetables are very alkaline and greatly counteract acidity throughout the body.

Herbs that counteract mucus by liquefying it for purposes of release from the body include: Mullein Leaf, Yerba Sante, Fenugreek Seed, Comfrey Root, Hyssop, Elecampane, and Talisadi.

Dherbs.Com has a formula called Mucus Buster that is a bestseller on our site. In addition to Mucus Buster, we offer its counterpart, Acid Buster. These two formulas work great together in busting up and expelling mucus from the body - guaranteed!

Herbs that heal the central nervous system include: Kava Kava, Yerba Maté, Passionflower, Valerian Root, Jatamansi, Blue Vervain, Cinnamon, and Lady's Slipper. Dherbs.Com offers three formulas that can help heal the central nervous system and brain: (1) Brain Tuner, (2) Nerves Formula, and (3) Central Nervous System Formula.

Lady's Slipper herb (a/k/a Nerve Root) is by far the best herb available for healing from Multiple Sclerosis. It will help to heal you from any nervous system disorder (considering you change your diet, lifestyle, and thought process) and no other herb helps to repair and rebuild damaged myelin like Lady's Slipper. Because this herb is considered an endangered species, its price is diabolically expensive, i.e. $100-$150 for one pound. A tea of this herb should be drank daily (2-3 cups). Dherbs.Com uses this herb in its Nerves Formula and its CNS Formula.

Herbs that increase circulation throughout the body include: Cayenne, Ginger, Butcher's Broom, Gingko Biloba, Holy (or Blessed) Thistle, and Gotu Kola.

Because Multiple Sclerosis occurs in the head, it is a Sixth and/or Seventh Chakra disorder; therefore, elixirs consisting of indigo, purple, violet, and/or dark blue stones/crystals should be consumed daily. These crystals include: Amethyst, Dumortierite, Charoite, Sugilite, Purple Sapphire, Azurite, and Lapis Lazuli. It is also wise to meditate with one of these stones on your Third Eye (Sixth Chakra) for about 15-30 minutes per day.

I highly advocate deep breathing exercises for the Multiple Sclerosis sufferer. Deep breathing will enhance and increase oxygen flow and chi to the brain (as well throughout the whole body).

Magnetic therapy is also vital in healing from Multiple Sclerosis. Magnets alkalize the body and improve, increase, and enhance circulation. Magnets stick on the body via adhesive bandages. Magnets can be work on the brain (forehead) during waking hours. They should never be worn during sleep, especially high gauss magnets (2,500 - 14,000 gauss).

Contrary to what Western medicine says, Multiple Sclerosis is 100% healable. The healing begins once you believe the disease is healable and you yourself (if a sufferer of the disease) believe you can be healed.

Faith (in healing) is essential to the healing process. When people don't heal from a disease, they lack the necessary faith and willpower to heal. All modalities must work in harmony. Prayer alone will not heal you. Belief and faith alone will not heal you (in the majority of cases, unless the faith and belief is very, very strong). Modified diet alone will not heal you. Modified lifestyle alone will not heal you. Thought alone will not heal you. You have to put all the necessary constituents of healing together to successfully heal.

First you start thinking healing and positive thoughts. Then you start visualizing yourself in a healthy and healed state. Then you develop a strong faith and belief in your healing and full recovery. This usually leads to inspiration to do better (now that you know better) which leads you to change (improve) your diet and lifestyle. Every individual act you do in one area enhances and compliments the other areas.

Eating healthy and feeling good about what you eat positively affects your thought process and your faith and belief. This in turn positively affects your lifestyle. This in turn positively affects your emotions and how you feel about yourself. And your body responds in a positive fashion to all of this.

This is the process of true healing, folks!

It's a very positive cycle, people, and it can be done. All you have to do is give it a try. You see, nothing beats a failure but an attempt (try), and really, there are no failures, just results, maybe one you don't desire, but still, at least you receive the necessary information to continue learning and continuing to change for the better.
