Multiple Sclerosis: Top Natural Supplements for Treatment

Thursday, 21 October 2010 04:27 PM EDT

Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the nervous system that affects the brain and spinal cord. It damages the myelin sheath of the nerve cells and this, in turn, blocks the messages between the brain and the body. The disease generally occurs between the age of 20 and 40.
The symptoms of multiple sclerosis are visual disturbances, muscle weakness, cognitive and memory problems. The patient also suffers from abnormal sensations like numbness and pricking.
 
The guidelines for the treatment of multiple sclerosis help physicians take appropriate clinical decisions. The clinical decisions are taken regarding the use of disease-modifying agents. The multiple sclerosis treatment guidelines are set to consider the clinical utility of disease-modifying agents and include anti-inflammatory, immune-modulatory and immunosuppressive treatments.
Natural treatment for multiple sclerosis aims at reducing inflammation and is based on the diet and lifestyle. The natural treatment for this disease requires consistency.

Supplements for multiple sclerosis are :

1.    
Vitamin E and other antioxidants like vitamin A, beta carotene and vitamin C. These supplements are strong nerve protectors. Vitamin D as a supplement for multiple sclerosis reduces relapses.
