Multiple Sclerosis Therapies...

Well you asked for an extensive list of Multiple Sclerosis Therapies and now you got them. I have been compiling this list for a few years now. Rather than have you run all around the internet by yourself, this should help give you a great jump start. As anyone that becomes ill, help, direction, and support are always greatly appreciated. How do I know? I've got Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Dealing with MS is like trying to guess the winning lottery numbers. It's not easy and frankly it is extremely frustrating to deal with. Every exacerbation is different. That's right, no two are the same. Currently, there is no "definitive cure" according to the FDA for MS. But, as a believer that a cure does exist, I forge onward. Therefore, you should to. The following list of Multiple Sclerosis Therapy links is my gift to anyone that is suffering with this disease. It maybe one or a combination of therapies that works for you. Stability, remission, a better quality of life, or even a cure, are positive steps... You will notice that I did not include the traditional CRAB Therapies. Why? No research has to be done to find them. They are the traditional therapies that any Neurologist already knows about, prescribes, have minimal positive effects, and lots of good ole bad side effects. So I say, big deal to: Copaxone, Rebif, Avonex, and Betaseron (CRAB). You got it. It's time to get better...

Just say "NO to MSG"...

First, for those of you New Yorkers, this post has absolutely nothing to do with Madison Square Garden or tearing it down. Life does exist beyond the boarders of NYC people... So, what this post does refer to are those flashing neon signs that most of you have seen in the windows of a Chinese Restaurant. Sounds familiar now huh? Monosodium Glutamate, or commonly referred to as MSG, is the controversial health issue here. MSG is made from fermented sugar beet or sugar cane molasses. It is the salt version of Glutamic Acid. Though, rather than tasting like salt, it has a sweetening taste. As it is, our bodies produce enough of it so there is no need to supplement it in to our diet. But, it is that fact that MSG is commonly used as seasoning with Chinese cooking that is one of the issues. Soy Sauce for example. You see, when used as a seasoning, MSG alerts your taste buds glutamate receptors to enhance the foods flavors. In layman's terms, that means yum, yum, I WANT MORE and MORE. Now that we understand that MSG can become somewhat addictive, the issue comes down to the side effects. These side effects range from: headaches, dizziness, chest pains, to even an Alzheimer's effect of loss of memory. These side effects have been labeled as "The Chinese Restaurant Syndrome". Now, don't get me wrong. MSG is not only in Chinese foods, but is also in many other Asian culture dishes. And yes, let's not forget it's being used in many processed and frozen foods. Got to get that addictive sweetening taste ya know. As a matter of fact, the seasoning brand "Accent", that has been around for a long time, is LOADED WITH MSG. No wonder why I liked putting it on my steaks so much. But, the name "Accent" seemed so friendly and  harmless... If you eat foods with MSG, just remember to limit them and drink a lot of water to flush it through your body.

Xylitol is a natural sweetener...

It may have a freaky name that may lead you to initially think it's some new man made artificial sweetener, but it's not... Xylitol is a natural sweetener that looks and tastes like sugar. And... It was first used back in the 1960's. It has the same sweetness as sugar, 40% fewer calories, none of the negative tooth decay properties, none of the insulin release effects, no carbohydrates, builds immunity, has anti-aging effects, protects against chronic disease, prevents diabetes, prevents weight gain, doesn't increase your blood pressure, and rates only a 7 on the Glycemic Index. That's low. For those of you that cook, it's becoming extremely popular. Why not? It's safe for the body without compromising on taste. It's being used as a sweetener (coffee/baking/cooking/Kool-Aid, ice tea, soda, etc...), in toothpaste, in gum, in candy, in jam, in honey, in mints, in ice cream, AND EVEN NASAL SPRAY. So where does the magical Xylitol come from? It's comes from plums, strawberries, corn, and birch bark.

There of course is one potential draw back of Xylitol. If taken in excessive amounts, it can have a laxative effect. Of course that is in EXCESSIVE amounts. Though, for some people, that just maybe a good side effect huh.
