Fw: MS-like symptoms ...

[Guest guest]

Patty's note:

I found the following to be very interesting regarding our situation, for

those of us who use sauna's or any other form of heat to induce a sweating

response for detoxification. Unfortunately for me, I find that using my

sauna or jacuzzi does make me feel worse. I certainly don't like the

implications of that.

4. Question: A FRIEND OF MINE HEARD ON THE RADIO ABOUT A STUDY

ON THE COOLING OF THE BODY TO TREAT MS PEOPLE. HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING

ABOUT THIS?

Answer: You have heard about cooling of the body to treat people

with multiple sclerosis. The Rocky Mountain Multiple Sclerosis

Center is involved in research looking at this approach. It turns out

that many patients are sensitive to heat and suffer a decline in

function. This turns out to be directly related to elevations of core

body temperature. Thus, patients have noticed that in cooler

environments and with lower core body temperatures, functions may

improve. Improvement in function is not dramatic, but it may be enough

to make a difference for a person to get through an entire day. Cooling

research will hopefully help facilitate rehabilitative efforts in many

patients as well. Thus, cooling studies for MS patients are being looked

into very intensely and, hopefully, will prove to be

meritorious.
