MS and 100 Pounds Fade Away Eating Mostly Raw, Vegan Diet
Source: Huffington Post
I have been on a serious health journey for more than three years now. Here is my story. This is going to be a shocker because lots of people don't know this entire story. Even some of my family and closest friends don't know what I have been through with regard to my health. I will share the details in hopes of inspiring people to eat more plants and fewer animals.
In 2000 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. It was a very, very dark and scary time. When I tell you I got down lots on my hands and knees and prayed for God's help I am not exaggerating! I was scared, very scared. I walked around like a zombie for years. Then I went on about my life, getting married, buying a house, having two beautiful children. After all this, about 3.5 years ago, I was still really scared. I was not feeling good, I had an IV in my arm receiving intravenous steroids, and I was more than 100 pounds overweight. Plus, every day I had to have my husband give me my medication, which was a shot, for my MS. How could this happen? I was in a dark place.
So I decided to make a change. I went to a personal trainer named Heidi who happened to move right next door where I was working. The universe works in strange ways. I sat with her in tears: How could this be? How could I have allowed myself to be so unhealthy and so overweight? She was amazing and assured me I would be fine. I worked with her for about eight months. I lost some weight and inches but most importantly I made fitness part of my life. My next step was to join a gym and see if I could keep up my fitness. I joined and I did keep up. I started running races. I did 5k races and then 5-mile races.
I then decided to go off my MS medication. My instincts have always been right for me. I believe 100 percent in the power of my own healing through diet and exercise. I do supplement with vitamin D3 and B12, which I believe are both very important. I am not saying everyone should go off their medication -- you have to do what YOUR instincts tell YOU.
I then really started looking at what I was eating. I had tried to cut back on meat and dairy because I knew it was not good for MS. I decided to become a vegetarian -- no more chicken wings and blue cheese dressing! Interestingly, when I was diagnosed with MS 12 years ago, I read about the benefits of leafy greens for MS and I had tried with a $50 juicer to juice kale, but it was not up to the task. So when I finally got a good quality juicer and started drinking green drinks, things changed. This was a pivotal moment in my journey. Ever since I started drinking green drinks I have had not one episode of MS. I kid you not! That was a little more than three years ago.
If you were following my prior post, you know 2011 was the year I fully committed to a life of health. I decided to try eating only raw and vegan food for a few days. Well, those first few days turned into almost a year. I felt amazing. I ate so many fruits and veggies, I went to a fruit festival, I met lots of inspirational raw and vegan people, hung out at a Peace Summit, did a 5-day Organic Avenue juice cleanse and started writing my book. Magic and miracles followed me around in 2011. I owe it all to the fruits and veggies!
When October hit and we had our first snowstorm I was cold and I wanted a little soup, so I had some soup and even some steamed broccoli. During the holidays I definitely had some slip-ups. They were good for me. They reminded me how awful I feel when I eat bad stuff. They also helped me realize where I tend to fall off the wagon: social events.
Going forward I will eat vegan and mostly raw. I believe in the power of raw foods but I think it might be virtually impossible for me to stay 100 percent raw forever. So I will probably eat around 95 percent raw. My diet for the most part consists of fruit for breakfast, a green drink mid-morning, a huge salad for lunch, fruit for a snack and another salad for dinner, or if I am feeling cold, I might have a big bowl of steamed broccoli for dinner.
In 2011 I lost 70 pounds, so I have now lost a little over 100 pounds altogether since my journey began 3.5 years ago! I am medication free! I run races and feel great! I am on my raw and vegan journey and I feel very healthy! Look for my before and after pictures to be posted soon!

Common virus may trigger MS nerve damage
Source: New Scientist
FOR the first time we have an answer to what Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may be doing in the brains of people with multiple sclerosis. RNA from the virus could be triggering the inflammation of nerve tissue characteristic of the disease.
EBV is present in almost all people with MS, and having glandular fever, caused by the virus, is known to increase the risk of developing MS.
To investigate further, Ute-Christiane Meier at Queen Mary University of London and her colleagues performed a post-mortem analysis of the brains of people with and without MS. They detected EBV in damaged areas of the MS brains. Antibody tests showed that the virus hadn't been actively spreading, but it had released small RNA molecules into nearby areas. Further studies showed this RNA could activate the immune system, triggering inflammation, which could damage nerve cells and cause the symptoms of MS (Neurology, DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0b013e31823ed057).
"If we can pinpoint EBV as a trigger, it's possible that we could potentially prevent the condition by treating the virus," says Meier.

Age-related effects in MS may be reversible
Having worked for a fortune 500 biotechnology company, pharmaceutical drugs are designed to treat symptoms, not cure the disease. Drug development, animal testing, first in human testing, phase 1-4 and FDA biological application could take 10 - 15 years. Time is not a luxury for MS families.

Scientists at Joslin Diabetes Center, Harvard University, and the University of Cambridge have found that the age-related impairment of the body’s ability to replace protective myelin sheaths, which normally surround nerve fibers and allow them to send signals properly, may be reversible, offering new hope that therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring efficient regeneration can be effective in the central nervous system throughout life.
In a proof-of-principle study published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, the researchers report that defects in the regeneration of the myelin sheaths surrounding nerves, which are lost in diseases such as multiple sclerosis may be at least partially corrected following exposure of an old animal to the circulatory system of a young animal. Myelin is a fatty substance that protects nerves and aids in the quick transmission of signals between nerve cells.
Using a surgical technique, the researchers introduced an experimental demyelinating injury in the spinal cord of an old mouse, creating small areas of myelin loss, and then exposed those areas to cells found the blood of a young mouse. By doing so, they found that the influx of certain immune cells, called macrophages, from the young mouse helped resident stem cells restore effective remyelination in the old mouse’s spinal cord. This “rejuvenating” effect of young immune cells was mediated in part by the greater efficiency of the young cells in clearing away myelin debris created by the demyelinating injury. Prior studies have shown that this debris impedes the regeneration of myelin.Aging impairs regenerative potential in the central nervous system,” says author Amy J. Wagers, PhD, an associate professor of stem cell and regenerative biology at Harvard University and Joslin, who co-led the study with Professor Robin Franklin, director of the MS Society’s Cambridge Centre for Myelin Repair at the University of Cambridge. “This impairment can be reversed, however, suggesting that the eventual development of cell-based or drug-based interventions that mimic the rejuvenation signals found in our study could be used therapeutically.”
This could be particularly useful, she adds, in treating MS, which typically spans many decades of life, and thus is likely to be influenced by age-dependent reductions in the ability of myelin to regenerate. In MS, the body’s own immune system attacks the myelin sheath and prevents nerve fibers in the brain from sending signals properly, which can cause mild symptoms such as limb numbness or more serious ones like losing the ability to walk or speak. As people with MS age, remyelination decreases significantly, eventually causing permanent loss of nerve fibers.
“For MS sufferers,” says Franklin, “this means that, in theory, regenerative therapies will work throughout the duration of the disease. Specifically, it means that remyelination therapies do not need to be based on stem cell transplantation since the stem cells already present in the brain and spinal cord can be made to regenerate myelin, regardless of a person’s age.”

Brief overview of "Multiple Sclerosis is not a disease of the immune system"
We have had a chance to read through the research by Angelique P Corthals: Multiple Sclerosis is not a disease of the immune system. We will touch on some key scientific findings from Corthal’s review. We will not cover every aspect of the review, but please feel free to comment or post your position.
The molecular pathophysiology of lipid metabolism is not my area of scientific expertise , however we were able to acquire a basic understanding behind the molecular mechanism of lipid pathways. However we must admit, we felt as if we were going to have an aneurysm due to all the scientific jargon,acronyms and 25 pages of molecular mechanisms. Human molecular pathways are extremely complex, complicated and not as simple as described by the researcher.
Corthals suggests MS is a dysfunction of the metabolism of lipids. The lipid metabolism is regulated by peroxisomes that are responsible for breaking down fatty acids to be used by mitochondria for energy production. Central nervous system(CNS) glial cells consumes more lipids than any other tissues of the body Glial cells depend on peroxisome and mitochondria oxidation of fatty acids for myelin synthesis. Mitochondria is what caught our attention because Dr. Wahl's research and nutritional diet is founded on micro-nutrients and the mitochondria.
Corthals suggests the dysfunction of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) caused by environmental, diet and/or defective alleles are responsible for high levels of circulating oxidative low density lipoprotein (LDL) in MS and atherosclerosis. We think all of those diagnosed with MS have heard the same lecture; environment, diet or genetics are responsible for MS. Thanks for the clue. Anyhow, any disease with high amounts of oxidative stress is highly toxic and does serious damages to cells and tissues.
Recently (2004) , certain statin and PPAR antagonists therapeutics (lipid lowering drugs) were shown to treat specific symptoms. Corthal noted the lipid profile of patients during infection or inflammation mirrored the lipid profile of MS patients. With the cons of statin drugs and detrimental side effects, we are not convinced of there therapeutic value for treating MS, but this is our position. Are there any of you that have been on a regiment of statin drugs? Have you achieved any improvement of MS symptoms?
The review suggests the impairment of the PPAR regulation in MS patients leads to increased levels of oxidized LDL which has the ability to cross the blood brain barrier and produce a cellular inflammation cascade. In english--> oxidative damage of the CNS. Is this an ace in the hole? We do not know, but the combination of oxidative LDL and the inflammation cascade might explain the severe damage caused to myelin. And if oxidative LDL and inflammation cascade physiology is 24/7 in your body, it might explain why the myelin of MS patients can never fully repair itself.
If you do not have a background in biochemistry, the audience will find this article extremely hard to follow, however there are many key take home points through out the article that are easy to understand and grasp. One takeaway message for us was to limit or eliminate diets containing high amounts of animal fat and/or carbohydrates to decrease the amount of circulating oxidative stress. As a family, we recently (2 weeks) decided to go gluten free, milk free, organic foods when possible($$$), growing our own vegetables and eliminate processed foods. We hope our overview of Multiple Sclerosis is not a disease of the immune system, provided you with some insight.
MS Untapped is an open forum for those diagnosed with MS, living with someone who has MS or anyone who wants to contribute constructive opinions and ideas to improve our lives. So please follow MS Untapped or email MSuntapped@gmail.com to become an author and share your experience.
Sincerely,
Susie and Doug

Multiple sclerosis, long viewed as primarily an autoimmune disease, is not actually a disease of the immune system, a U.S. researcher says.
Dr. Angelique of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York suggests instead that MS is caused by faulty lipid metabolism -- in many ways more similar to coronary atherosclerosis -- hardening of the arteries -- than to other autoimmune diseases.
Considering MS as a metabolic disorder helps to explain many puzzling aspects of the disease, particularly why it strikes women more than men and why cases are on the rise worldwide, Corthals said.
Multiple sclerosis is mainly characterized by inflammation followed by scarring of tissue called myelin, which insulates nerve tissue in the brain and spinal cord.
Over time, this scarring can lead to profound neurological damage, but medical researchers have theorized that a runaway immune system is at fault, but no one has been able to fully explain what triggers the onset of the disease.
Corthals said the primary cause of MS can be traced to transcription factors in cell nuclei that control the uptake, breakdown, and release of lipids -- fats and similar compounds -- throughout the body. Disruption of these proteins, known as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, causes a toxic byproduct of "bad" low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to form plaque on the affected tissue. The accumulation of plaque in turn triggers an immune response, which ultimately leads to scarring.
Corthals' framework explains why MS is more prevalent in women.
"Men and women metabolize fats differently," Corthals said. "In men, problems are more likely to occur in vascular tissue, which is why atherosclerosis is more prevalent in men. But women metabolize fat differently in relation to their reproductive role."

Dr. Loren Cordains presentation: Potential Therapeutic Characteristics of Pre-agricultural Diets in the Prevention and Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
Dr. Loren Cordain presents a great deal of of scientific data to explain how nutritional factors might be responsible for multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases. Our exposure to processed food over the last hundred years is absolutely nothing on the evolutionary scale. Plus all the chemicals, preservatives and additives we have been putting in our bodies over the last century.
Link to his slides and presentation: Potential Therapeutic Characteristics of Pre-agricultural Diets in the Prevention and Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
I think it is very important we have multiple authors for this blog, so for those who are interested in becoming an author for the Multiple Sclerosis Untapped blog please email to msuntapped@gmail.com
