Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic degenerative disease of the nervous system, in which the immune system produces an abnormal response against certain structures of the nervous system.
Conventional medicine does not know why this happens. It believes it may be due to a virus or a genetic defect, or both. Various environmental factors are also likely to play a role.
There are some important facts about this disease. Around two-thirds of those affected are women, and it is most commonly diagnosed in the 20 to 50 age range.
Worldwide, 2.3 million people are affected by MS, which is more common in countries with cold climates. An international study published in the journal JAMA Neurology suggests that higher levels of vitamin D, which is synthesized in the body through exposure to sunlight, slow the progression of the disease when it is newly diagnosed.
Multiple sclerosis is considered an autoimmune disease because the body's own defenses attack the myelin sheath, which is the covering that surrounds and protects neurons. When myelin is damaged, nerve impulses slow down or stop. When myelin is damaged, it leaves behind a scar (sclerosis). Sometimes the nerve fiber is also damaged.
Because nerves anywhere in the brain or spinal cord can be damaged, symptoms of sclerosis can appear in many areas of the body.
In summary, we can say that symptoms may include: muscular symptoms, such as lack of balance and coordination, numbness or muscle spasms, problems walking or moving arms and legs; intestinal symptoms, such as urinary tract disorders or constipation; ocular symptoms, such as double vision or vision loss; neurological symptoms, such as memory loss and depression; sexual symptoms, such as erectile dysfunction; and finally, speech symptoms, such as slurred speech or difficulty chewing. Fatigue is also a very common symptom of multiple sclerosis.
These symptoms may come and go, occur in different combinations, and can be mild, moderate, or severe.
Current treatments for slowing down MS usually consist of drugs to relieve symptoms such as spasticity, bladder problems, or depression, to improve walking (Ampyra®), spasticity in the arms and bladder dysfunction (Botox®), and uncontrollable laughter and crying (Nuedexta®). There are also disease-modifying treatments approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of MS. Five of them—Avonex®, Betaseron®, Copaxone®, Extavia®, and Rebif®—are injectable, and three are oral—Aubagio®, Gilenya™, and Tecfidera™.
Most diseases are caused by acidification of the body or malnutrition. This is the position held by Dr. Alberto Martí Bosch, member of the Advisory Board of Discovery Salud.
This doctor provides the following explanation in the aforementioned web publication:
The body becomes intoxicated when we fail to properly eliminate the toxic waste we generate. At a cellular level, the human body is like a large fish tank filled with saltwater in which our cells live, and that liquid must be clean and free of toxins and pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals.
Martí refers to the work of Alfred Pishinger's "The Matrix and Matrix Regulation" to explain how the body works. According to this, the lungs send oxygen to the arteries so that it reaches the cellular system. The digestive tract absorbs food, carries it to the blood, and through the blood it reaches the liver, which processes it and carries it through the blood to the cellular system. This is how cells get the food and oxygen they need. But when oxygen reaches the cells, they also produce carbon dioxide, which must ultimately be disposed of through the lungs. With regard to nutrients, when the cell receives fats, it generates fatty acids, which will be eliminated by the liver in the form of bile. And when it receives proteins, the cell produces uric acid as waste, which will be eliminated by the kidneys in the form of urine. Logically, non-nutritive waste is excreted as feces through the digestive tract.
This, in short, is how our drainage system works. And it is always necessary for it to function properly so that toxic material does not flood the interstitial space, the watery space surrounding the tissues. In a word, the fluid surrounding the cells must be clean, otherwise it becomes acidic due to the accumulation of carbonic acid, fatty acids, and uric acid.
If the acid attack targets the myelin of the axons, demyelinating diseases appear, such as multiple sclerosis or ALS.
It can therefore be said that the cause of many diseases is metabolic acidosis.
Dr. Martí offers us four ways in which the body can survive acidification, which, in turn, produce other consequences:
Every sick person must purify themselves and achieve alkalization. This can be achieved as follows:
It is important to note that this detoxification process that each individual must undergo must be accompanied by continued consumption of essential nutrients.
On the other hand,Biosalud, asan international center of excellence in Biological Medicine, and specificallyDr. Mariano Bueno,its medicaldirector, has presented in his latest course on Lyme Disease, held last month in Madrid, in the teaching room of theAlborada Foundation, that many cases of multiple sclerosis are actually due to Lyme disease, andthat it is a priority in all cases of multiple sclerosis to perform a Lymecheck to rule it out. The patient should not be treated with immunosuppressants, but rather with immunostimulants and antibiotics, as it is a chronic disease that requires an individualized treatment protocol and can last for years. Possible chronic mercury and/or lead poisoning and the reactivation of chronic viral infections such as cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, and Epstein-Barr virus should also be ruled out as aggravating and contributing factors.
