MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Nutritional Support Protocol
Supplement Recommendations:
Use Metabolic Synergy as a core nutrient program recommended by your Health Care Professional and/or from the results of your most recent Designs for Health Metabolic Profile:
Measure blood levels of 25(OH)D3 (optimal range 60-70mg/mL)
Caution: Inosine Synergy should be used only under the supervision of a qualified health care professional. Since the primary mechanism of inosine therapy in degenerative neurological disorders, including MS, is to raise uric acid levels, and with the understanding that excessive levels of uric acid has been shown to increase the risk of gout and kidney stones, the use of inosine should be supervised by a qualified health care provider who can perform serial assessment of uric acid levels and adjust the dosage in each individual to maintain UA levels between 7 and 9 mg/dL and not greater. While studies generally report minimal, if any, side-effects at this level of UA, sensible precautions would include a recommendation to all patients on this therapy to assure adequate fluid intake (6-8 glasses of water with fresh lemon per day minimum), a low oxylate diet, limited alcohol (especially beer), and avoidance of excessive amounts of dietary and supplemental calcium.
The goal is to remove all foods that may be triggering the body to attack its own tissues. Researchers believe that one of the possible causes of autoimmune ailments, such as MS, is certain foods that are new to humanity (grain products, dairy products, lentils and beans, and yeasted foods) which have only appeared in the past 40,000 years. Meats, nuts, vegetables and fruits have been eaten for over 2 million years. Therefore, returning to a diet that is made of meat, nuts, and produce may remove one of the main offending causes behind autoimmune problems. It can take 3-6 months to assess whether this dietary elimination of mimetic proteins in allergenic foods is effective. Check for candida albicans and chronic viral infections and apply the corresponding Nutritional Support Protocols. Mercury is also considered to be possible contributing cause of MS. Check heavy metal levels and detoxify if indicated. Test blood vitamin D levels (25(OH)D3). Check CMP for possible excess AA, deficient EPA and possible higher than optimal AA/EPA ratio (which is known to exacerbate auto-immune activity). Consider ordering the MS panel from Immunosciences (antiboldies to myein sheaths and brain structures)
Based on hormone levels and hormonal balance consider: DHEA, which shifts immune balance toward tolerance (TH1/TH2). Progesterone and pregnenolone may help regenerate myelin sheaths and may have a neuronal regenerative effect.
Diet:
Dairy, grain, yeast and legume free, high in EFAs.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:
Try to expose most of the body in the sun between 11-2pm for at least 20 min on each side. This may result in the production of 10,000IU Vit D per day. Sun exposure had additional benefits for the immune system aside from stimulating Vit D production.
