Re: MS (Multiple Sclerosis

[Guest guest]

I have a friend whose fiance has MS. Is there any suggestions you can

give that I can forward to him.

I once read that there have been great results when people who have MS do some rebounding on a min-trampoline everyday. Of course in advanced MS the patient may not be able to do this. But if he can still walk and has some muscle function it might really help.

Hi, I rather post here for benefit of all. It then goes into the list archives and you can always look back. The same way people join is how they can do their search through our group. MS. I know Hallelujah Diet has seen results. www.hacres.com. I'm a health minister with them. So is Shari in our group here. If ordering their products, please email me or Shari here as we would both get a small "thank you" reward that helps our individual ministry. Great book: Your Life Follows your Words, Darlene Bishop I can't remember name, probably in archives of someone healed of MS and wrote book too. As a personal suggestion, without spinning your wheels, does your friend want to change his diet? Is he interested in drug route? Sometimes we

love to help so much, do all this search stuff, and the person doesn't want that. Let's hope he joins us here. carolgysicjacqueline <myfaithstands@...> wrote: Good BLESSED Morning Group;I have a friend whose fiance has MS.

My best advice is to have him not eat or drink anything that isn't 100%

natural and living. No dead food, no processed food, no junk food, no

meat, no stimulants (coffee, tea, salt, spices,etc.) etc. Lots of fresh

organic tender leafy greens, fresh organic fruits and lots of distilled

or highly purified water. Get as much sunlight as possible, fresh air,

plenty of exercise (depending on how advanced his condition is of

course), and lots and lots of rest.

Someone told me she had good results with Evening Primrose Oil. Also used

only sunflower oil in her food.

I would suggest that he eat right, drink

plenty of clean water, exercise regularly and within reason as far as how

disabled he is at this point, and above all try to be happy. Since MS is

theoretically an autoimmune disease, he should be cautious and consult a

knowledgeable herbalist or naturopath before taking any supplementation.

The reason being that you don’t necessarily want to stimulate an immune

system that is already malfunctioning.

Here’s a good article my

friend wrote about autoimmune conditions, MS is considered an autoimmune

condition.

=================

NUTRITIONAL

AND SUPPLEMENT STRATEGIES FOR INFLAMMATORY AND AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS

- by Donia

Alawi, Health Teacher and Nutritionist

I. 

REMOVE OFFENDING “TRIGGER” FOODS:

!  

Remove strong acid producing foods. 

Examples are beef, chicken and pork. 

If you must eat any of these meats, at least reduce the amounts

significantly. 

!  

Remove all dairy products (cheese and milk).  These are also acid producing foods.  If you cannot avoid them, then buy goat-based

cheese (the soft kind) or raw goat milk. 

!  

Avoid grains that are considered high-glycemic

foods.  Examples are corn chips, instant

processed grain mixes (i.e., puffed wheat), cakes, pies, pastry, processed

breakfast cereals, instant grain cereals, white rice, white flour and white

flour pastas.

!  

Avoid breads containing yeast.  It

may be prudent to consume types of bread made from whole rye and leavened with

lactobacillus.

!  

Remove hydrogenated oils and margarine from your diet.  Use coconut butter or oil (not processed) for

cooking.  Use extra virgin olive oil or

raw butter for any cold spreads.

!  

Avoid non-foods (i.e., salt, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, coffee,

tea, soft drinks, ....etc.).

!  

Avoid soy products, except for fermented soy products (miso, tamari sauce, and tempeh).

II. YOUR DAILY ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET - FOR

THE FIRST 14 DAYS:

Klapper, M.D., recommends

this strict diet for the first 14 days. 

Eat only (in unlimited amounts):

A)  Brown rice and

sweet potatoes  (for

energy and protein).

  Green and yellow vegetables  (for

vitamins and minerals).

C)  Non-citrus fruits  (for vitamins,

minerals and fiber).

D)  Vegetable soups,

broth, and fresh vegetable juices.

E)  Ample pure water,

at least a 6 oz. glass every 1-2 hours.

Reconstruct your diet after 14 days with “safe”

foods.  You can add oily fish, such as

salmon, halibut or cod, soft goat cheeses, citrus fruits, all types of

vegetables, nuts, seeds...etc.

When you add such foods back to your diet, it is a good idea

to add one food at a time, every two days. 

You need to observe carefully any effects on your joints and other

tissues while keeping a food diary to record your body’s reaction (if

any) to each single reintroduced food. 

Note any food that incites swelling, stiffness, pain in joints, or other

adverse bodily reactions within 2 days.  

As your list of “safe foods” grows, base your daily meal

choices on foods that cause no problems and that make you feel your best.

III.   

REPAIR “LEAKY” GUT:                                                                                                                                         

A)  Friendly Bacteria

supplementation:

Lynne McFarland, Ph.D., from the Department of Medicinal

Chemistry at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, WA., reported that oral supplementation of friendly bacteria

such as acidophilus and bifidus can help recolonize

the intestinal tract with good bacteria which can then force out toxic bacteria

(Bland, Genetic....p. 133). 

One of the best friendly bacteria products in the market

today is a wide-spectrum friendly bacteria supplement micro-blended with fructo-oligosaccharides. 

Following are its ingredients: 

Lactobacillus acidophilus DDS-1, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus

bulgaricus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus salivarius,

Streptococcus faecium, Streptococcus thermophilus, Acerola and Rose Hips blend, wild blue green

algae, Jerusalem Artichoke, Lipase, Amylase, Protease,

and Cellulase. http://tinyurl.com/6gzqa

  Enzyme Therapy:

Digestive enzyme therapy is used to improve the breakdown

and assimilation of food nutrients, reduce stress on the gastrointestinal

mucous, help maintain normal body pH levels, detoxify the body, promote the

growth of healthy intestinal flora, and strengthen the body as a whole. 

Systemic enzyme therapy is used to reduce inflammation and

stimulate the immune system.  Enzymes

improve circulation, help speed tissue repair, bring nutrients to the damaged

area, and remove waste products. 

One of the best enzyme products in the market today is a

wide-spectrum blend of 12 active enzymes with digestive-enhancing ingredients

such as blue green algae (high mineral food), fennel, ginger and cayenne

pepper. http://tinyurl.com/ey8l

C)  High quality

dietary fiber:

To maintain intestinal hygiene, you need about 35 to 40

grams of different fiber sources everyday (i.e., bran, cellulose, lignin,

pectin, etc.), all found in different organically grown, ripe seasonal fruits,

seeds, whole grains, and vegetables. 

Dietary fiber helps improve the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).  Dietary

fiber is fermented into SCFAs by friendly bacteria

like acidophilus and bifidus.  One of the

best fiber sources is from brown rice and it has no adverse reactions in the

intestinal tract.  Rice has both the

insoluble and soluble fiber, which friendly bacteria ferment to SCFAs.  SCFAs nourishes

the critical intestinal lining.

Another source of good fiber is flax seed.  Besides being a well-rounded source of both

the insoluble and soluble fibers, flax contains another component called

lignans.  Lignans have antibacterial,

antifungal, and antiviral properties (grind flax seed immediately just before

you eat it). 

IV. ENHANCE NATURAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

PROCESSES THROUGH WHOLE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS: 

A)  Wild-crafted blue

Green Algae:

http://tinyurl.com/g1iz

and http://tinyurl.com/iw4k

A specific amino acid, L-glutamine, is found to reduce

inflammation.  According to

Wilmore, M.D., a trauma care surgeon at Harvard Medical

School, the amino acid

L-glutamine improves intestinal function and can help preserve the gut lumen

and heal a leaky gut (Bland, Genetic, p. 135). 

One of the most amazing foods high in L-glutamine is

wild-crafted blue green algae from Upper

Klamath Lake, Oregon.  It is nearly two-thirds protein which is an

unusually high proportion, particularly for a “plant” food.  Dietarily essential

amino acids compose 49.1% and non dietarily essential

amino acids compose 50.9%.  Supplementing

with 4 capsules a day gives the body 78 mg. of L. Glutamine.  High amounts of blue green algae are needed

to promote healing of a leaky gut.

In addition, wild-crafted blue green algae

provides the vitamins and minerals that can put messages of inflammation

to sleep.  For example, blue green algae is high in vitamin B-complex, including vitamin B3 or niacinamide.  B3  can prevent

inflammation by reducing immune system activation and the resulting oxidant

stress, which ultimately produces the pain, swelling, redness and tissue

destruction of arthritis (p. 137). 

  Virgin coconut

oil:

Coconut oil can reduce inflammation.  In a study reported by Dr. S. Sadeghi, coconut oil decreased pro-inflammatory chemicals

in the body.  The researcher suggested

that coconut oil might be useful in therapies involving a number of acute and

chronic inflammatory diseases (Sadeghi, S. et al,

1999, dietary lipids modify the cytokine response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide in mice. 

Immunology  96(3):404). 

Coconut oil has strong antimicrobial effects and can

eliminate harmful and toxic organisms and therefore can prevent/relieve the

inflammation and pain they cause.

To get a therapeutic benefit from consuming coconut oil, 3½  tablespoons is the

recommended daily intake.  You can also

incorporate more coconut meat and milk into your diet.  For example, seven ounces of dried coconut

provides 3½ 

tablespoons of oil.

C)  Wheat Sprouts:

Wheat sprouts as a whole food supplement provides one of the

most potent antioxidant enzymes to fight inflammation; superoxide dismutase

(SOD).  Since SOD requires copper and

zinc as cofacters to initiate maximum effectiveness,

a whole food supplement that combines other foods high in minerals would be the

best type of supplement.  We recommend a  whole food

antioxidant made of organic wheat sprouts, blue green algae and red beta algae

(dunaliella salina).   http://tinyurl.com/6vxtu

D)  Turmeric and

Ginger:

Take turmeric powder internally as an anti-inflammatory

food.  Taken internally, turmeric can

inhibit TNF which is a chemical mediator of inflammation.  Take one teaspoon three times daily with or

without meals.  Best

taken at bed time.

 

Ginger is considered an important anti-pain and anti-inflammation

food in the very old Ayurvedic and Tibb system of medicine in India.  Buy organic ginger powder and start by taking

a heaping teaspoon per day.  Mix the

ginger with your favorite beverage.  Or

if you don’t mind the taste, mix it in water (ideal way of taking

it).      

NUTRITION AND THE INFLAMMATION PROCESS:

If you have a problem with any type of inflammation, your

first course of action might be to utilize the above recommended dietary

changes and whole food supplements.  Look

for ways as to how your diet and lifestyle can interrelate to reduce the

outcome of inflammation.  By modifying

your diet and lifestyle, you may be able to realize considerable improvements

in your body’s immune system function and thereby lower the level of “alarm

substances” traveling in your bloodstream that trigger inflammation.
