Multiple Sclerosis MS

Condition:

Definition:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and/or spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance.

It’s a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be mild. In many cases, it’s possible to treat symptoms. Average life expectancy is slightly reduced for people with MS.

It’s most commonly diagnosed in people in their 20s and 30s, although it can develop at any age. It’s about two to three times more common in women than men.

Symptom:

The symptoms of MS vary widely from person to person and can affect any part of the body.

The main symptoms include:

fatigue
difficulty walking
vision problems, such as blurred vision
problems controlling the bladder
numbness or tingling in different parts of the body
muscle stiffness and spasms
problems with balance and co-ordination
problems with thinking, learning and planning

Depending on the type of MS you have (see below), your symptoms may come and go in phases, or get steadily worse over time (progress).

Types of MS

MS starts in one of two general ways: with individual relapses (attacks or exacerbations) or with gradual progression.

Relapsing-remitting MS
More than 8 out of every 10 people with MS are diagnosed with the “relapsing-remitting” type.

Someone with relapsing-remitting MS will have episodes of new or worsening symptoms, known as “relapses”. These typically worsen over a few days, last for days to weeks to months, then slowly improve over a similar period.

Relapses often occur without warning but are sometimes associated with a period of illness or stress.

The symptoms of a relapse may disappear altogether, with or without treatment, although some symptoms often persist, with repeated attacks happening over several years.

Periods between attacks are known as periods of “remission”. These can last for years at a time.

After many years (usually decades), many, but not all people, with relapsing-remitting MS go on to develop secondary progressive MS. In this type of MS, symptoms gradually worsen over time without obvious attacks. Some people continue to have infrequent relapses during this stage.

Around half of the people with relapsing-remitting MS will develop secondary progressive MS within 15-20 years, and the risk of this happening increases the longer you have the condition.

Primary progressive MS
Just over 1 in 10 people with the condition start their MS with a gradual worsening of symptoms.

In primary progressive MS, symptoms gradually worsen and accumulate over several years, and there are no periods of remission, though people often have periods where their condition appears to stabilize.

Protocol:

Topically apply

30 drops, Spinal Therapy 100ml, over the spine, both morning and night

10-15 drops, Nerve Restore 30ml, over the spine, both morning and night

10-15 drops, Bladder Support 30ml, over the lower stomach and navel to manage and control the bladder

20-30 drops, Sore Muscles and Massage 100ml, over the body and back, only when needed.

When applying more than one oil blend to the same area, do so over the course of the day or wait 10 minutes in between.

Drink 1 capsule, each, Gut Cleanse and Frankincense/Myrrh Blend, once a day.

If you have to ingest more than one capsule a day, drink them over the course of the day, never more than two capsules at a time. Spreading the capsules throughout the day assists the body with proper absorption. Always good to have a very small snack/fruit before drinking capsules.

Drink 25ml of the Neuro Tonic, daily.

Diffuse (see below) during the day, while working/studying:

Brain Blend, 2 drops

Basil 5ml 10ml, 2 drops

Cedarwood 5ml 10ml, 2 drops

Frankincense 5ml 10ml, 2 drops

Diffuse during the night, for 8 hours, while sleeping:

Trauma Blend, 3 drops

Memory Blend, 3 drops

Diffuse 2-3 drops of each oil; maximum 10-12 drops in total, at a time.

NOTE: Always use an ultrasonic diffuser (with a diffusing duration of at least 8 hours), to diffuse pure essential oils. Do not use a humidifier, air purifier, or a candle, as they only smell good and have no further effect. An electric, ultrasonic, diffuser dispenses essential oils into the air through vibrations of a plate which causes ultrasonic waves, creating microscopic particles of oils that disperse into the air. It, therefore, breaks open the essential oil volatile molecules, to have a medicinal effect in that it can penetrate through the blood-brain barrier. It is always good to use a diffuser at night while you are sleeping.

Soothing bath soak – add 5 to 10 drops each of Helichrysum 5ml 10ml, Basil 5ml 10ml and Rosemary 5ml 10ml to a warm bath by mixing it first with Epsom salts for better absorption. Soak for at least 20 minutes. To fight inflammation, take 2 drops of Frankincense 5ml 10ml in a capsule filled with a carrier oily, three times a day for three weeks.

Omega-3 – EPA/DHA found in fish can reduce inflammation and promote better nerve functioning. Take 1 000 to 12,000 milligrams daily.

Lion’s mane mushroom – promotes neurological function and helps restore nerve cells.
