Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Hello Experts. Does anyone have any testimonials or answers for reducing muscle spasms due to this prognosis? Thank you in advance, Debbie (Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder characterized by inflammation cross both sides of one level, or segment, of the spinal cord. Myelitis means an inflammation of the myelin sheath, the fatty insulating substance that covers nerve cell fibers. The spinal cord is a bundle of nerve cells each surrounded by myelin. Myelitis in this respect refers to inflammation of the myelin of the spinal cord; Transverse simply describes the position of the inflammation, that is, across the width of the spinal cord. The majority of people with this disorder experience only one episode, although in rare cases recurrent or relapsing transverse myelitis does occur.)

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Hi Debbie, Some ideas apart from QX therapies. Magnesium reduces muscle spasms. Also balancing essential fats is important - to stabilise the myelin sheath and also to help lower inflammation. Boswellia Serrata and Curcumin are excellent anti-inflammatories for providing relief quicker than the essential fats (which nevertheless are critical for membrane fluidity and stability). I would also consider fat soluble antioxidants to protect the membranes from free radicals generated by the inflammation - eg vitamin E....add some vitamin C and Selenium to ensure that E is regenerated efficiently (antioxidants become pro-oxidants once they scavenge a free radical and need to be converted back to antioxidant status on a regular basis). Apart from nutritional support I would also try and ascertain the possible toxin that has penetrated the myelin - eg toxic metals/pesticides etc. Client's lifestyle and possible exposures should be scrutinised too. Hope this is of help to you. CharlizeWebDeb <deb@...> wrote: Hello Experts. Does anyone have any testimonials or answers for reducing muscle spasms due to this prognosis?

Debbie, inflammation is a reaction to the irritation produced by free radical damage; deal with the free radical damage (toxin load, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation) and the inflammation goes away. Cold-processed whey, antioxidant vitamins A, C, E, selenium and b- vitamin complex will get rid of it with normal dosing. The bonus is that, supposing an autoimmune has already been triggered, the protocol also posesses immunomodulating properties.
