Multiple Sclerosis

In some cases, MS is highly hereditary; but not always. The sad fact is, very little is known about MS except for what will eventually happen to someone who has it (increasing disability and eventual death). Inheriting the illness is uncommon enough that some doctors still try to say it is not hereditary as if it were a proven fact. There is most definitely some genetic factor in some cases of MS, however. Henry (Gizmo) Williams, a famous athlete who used to play for the Edmonton Eskimos in the CFL has lost more than 20 members of his family to MS. I am the first and so far only member of my family to be afflicted; so in my case there is no genetic influence. Instead of trying to find the cause of MS and prevent or treat it, researchers just concentrate on trying to find new drugs to slow the progression of the illness; which has been proving to be for the most part a futile endeavour.

Babinski's sign is caused by a lesion in the corticospinal tract (UMN) that produces a characteristic pathological sign of extension of the great toe and fanning of the remaining toes. This also occurs in infants before the corticospinal tract is fully developed, in adults during sleep, or sometimes in adults after strenuous walking or running.

Amytropic Lateral Sclerosis is noncommunicable.

my brother has the syndrome it means that the person has to wear splints (a plastic type of thing that goes in your shoe) it caus's the persons feet to turn out making them not able to lift their foot up high. it can causes nerve dammage to the feet .

im not sure it is that :S :L i have it at the moment.. it was first found in America when people where having Swine Flu jabs for some reason.

the syndrome attacks the nervous system working its way up. it first starts in the hands and feet and then stos youre legs from working it can reach youre face as i have expereinced although its extremelly rare that it kills you. when it reahces youre face it givesa up attacking you and works its way back down you can be ill with it for up to 2 months you get given steriods and so on hope this helped!

Multiple sclerosis causes the myelin sheaths around the axons in the neurones to be destroyed. The myelin is an insulator and so if it is not present, ions will flow across the nuerone membrane, thus slowing or even inhibiting action potential(nerve impulses)

No it effects myeline sheath

If you're more than 15 years old, the answer is no, there really is no way to prevent MS that we know of today. Vitamin D has been shown to have preventative effects, but what quantity and at what age are as of yet unknown, and Vitamin D can be dangerous at high levels, so I don't advocate taking excessive Vitamin D.

There are a lot of factors that go into determining your susceptibility to MS, including where you live, your ethnicity, your sex, your family history of MS, and finally exposure to some infectious trigger while you're younger. Even these are still poorly understood.

Suffice it to say that the average person in society has about a 1 in 750 chance of developing MS.

One is a factor of every number. One is only a multiple of itself.

Of particular concern is the finding that people with multiple sclerosis have increased levels of the enzyme glutaminase (the enzyme that converts glutamine into glutamate) in areas of nerve fiber damage. High levels of glutamine in the diet would increase glutamate levels near these injured areas magnifying the damage. It has been shown that excitotoxicity plays a major role in multiple sclerosis by destroying the cells (oligodendrocytes) that produce myelin. Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.

Understand that this information is very, very preliminary, and researchers don't understand the mechanism by which this works.

Researchers noted that the incidence of neurological impairment in elderly Indian populations was very slight, and started investigating their diets to find links to prevention of MS. Curcumin was also recently identified as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, effective in wound healing. And just last fall, researchers at UCLA reported that curcumin appeared to slow the progression of Alzheimer's in mice.

A recent study has found that giving injections of 50- and 100-microgram doses of curcumin (a curry compound) to a group of mice bred to develop a disease called experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) slowed down their progression of the disease. EAE is similar to MS and is used as a model for MS research.

Researchers administered the doses three times a week over a 30-day trial. By day 15, mice who had not received curcumin developed EAE to such an extent that they displayed complete paralysis of both hind limbs. Mice given the 50-microgram dose showed only minor symptoms, such as a temporarily stiff tail. And mice given the 100-microgram dose appeared completely unimpaired throughout the 30 days of the study.

LDN can help multiple sclerosis. It can also treat numerous other disorders. It was first used on people with AIDS. A recent study showed improvement in people's health when using LDN.

M m is an m, an upside down w, and/or a delicious candy. Mini's are always the best don't argue

yes

you stupid you have your own body then you can take an example of it that why di you need a body you are not an organism that you can live without BODY..

It means that there are many things out there for us to discover, but in order to find them, we must first create the tools/technology in order to make the discoveries.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society was founded on March 11, 1946 in the United States. It was originally called the Association for Advancement of Research on Multiple Sclerosis. The society is currently headquartered in New York City.

Mississippi has the initials MS.

anyone really ... my mom has it but we are very grateful that she doesnt have it bad. she can walk fine unlike most MS patiens. hope this helped
