Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, due to myelin damage. This damage can be caused by an autoimmune disease that brings on a number of symptoms. People with multiple sclerosis sufferer from imbalance, muscle weakness, astigmatism and tremors. Remission can occur temporarily. Thankfully today, there are ways to reverse MS, as discussed below.

As with many diseases, nutrition is a key factor, and multiple sclerosis is not exempt. That means that poor nutrition can be a factor in the development of the disease, as well as its progression. An improvement in the diet can reverse symptoms. When one eats right, the brain and the body receive the proper nutrients, and with multiple sclerosis, brain shrinkage is evident. Therefore, one must feed the mitochondria with omega-3 fats, creatine, and coenzyme Q10.

Certain B vitamins, sulfer, and iodine are also necessary to not only slow the disease, but also to help the individual improve. Enter the Paleo Diet, which is completely different from the common Western diet that's loaded with ingredients that are certain to lead to chronic diseases. The problem with most people is that they don't get the real nutrients in their diet, and they get too much of all the bad ingredients that are harmful.

Therefore, it requires an increased intake of vegetables that contains sulfur, bright colored fruits and vegetables that contain numerous anti-oxidants, and lots of greens. The diet also requires an increase in the consumption of wild fish, as well as grass fed meat. Avoid regular meat found in grocery stores, however. Also, add seaweed to the diet, which will provide the body with the necessary selenium and iodine it requires.

Unfortunately for some people, it also requires putting an end to eating any processed foods. In addition to processed foods, grains, corn, and potatoes should be avoided altogether. Moreover, few people are getting the right amount of vitamin D, and vitamin D deficiency is extremely common these days. Therefore, get more sun exposure, use tanning beds, and/or take vitamin D supplements.

Some more things to avoid include this artificial sweeteners and aspartame. These are extremely toxic, and are directly related to chronic neurological disorders. Aspartame is known to kill the brain neurons, which is the complete opposite of what antioxidants do. Antioxidants are crucial for optimum brain health.

It's obvious that there are serious lifestyle changes that are required to actually reverse the condition. People have to start eating the way people ate in the past, with limited amounts of sugar, removing fructose from the diet, avoiding pasteurized cow's milk, as well as unhealthy packaged fruit juices. Instead, people should eat raw fruits and vegetables to get the most nutrients out of them, but also fermented vegetables which are extremely important to good health.

A Mercury detox would also prove beneficial in the quest to reverse MS. As is common knowledge, Mercury is a poison, and especially damaging to anyone suffering from this chronic disease. Having said that, large fish are known to contain high levels of mercury, so they should be avoided.
