MS causes

First ask - Do you have a B12 deficiency and NOT MS? 

B12 is needed to build myelin, a B12 deficiency can also cause myelin sheath damage:

• Vitamin B12 deficiency shares common symptoms with MS.   Soreness and weakness of the legs and arms, difficulty in walking, diminished sensory perception, difficulty in speaking, memory loss, jerking of limbs, fatigue andparalysis;
• Unfortunately, orthodox B12 tests are not accurate.   The book -"Could It Be B12? - An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses, 2^nd Edition, by Sally M. Pacholok and Jeffrey J. Stuart explains how to get a proper diagnosis of a B12 deficiency;
• B12 may need to be given by injection to be effective;

Otherwise, the two most likely causes for nerve cell myelin sheath damage in M.S. involve the presence of: NEUROTOXINS  and/or  MICROBES

Neurotoxins (especially heavy metals, but also other chemicals) can cause MS.

Mercury poisoning

In the alternative health field, the most common theory for causing M.S. is mercury poisoning followed by a parasitic invasion of the nervous system  (and particularly the brain).

• Mercury can come from fish, dental amalgams, vaccinations or other sources:
• Fish from contaminated waters.    in Norway, Japan and the state of Alaska, where they eat a lot of ocean fish, they have high rates of MS.
• Dental amalgams.   The irony is that the mercury used by dentists to manufacture dental amalgam is shipped to the dental office as a hazardous material and the amalgam leftovers also require special precautions for disposal. Dr. Hal Huggins, a leading world expert in biological dentistry, has treated >1000 MS patients, finding evidence of mercury in every case.

Magnesium deficiency allows heavy metal deposition in the brain.   Has been shown to precede M.S., Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

Magnesium protects cells from aluminum, mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium and nickel.    Lower than normal magnesium levels observed in CNS white matter including demyelinated plaques of MS samples.

(2)  Microbes (spirochete bacteria in particular) hiding inside the myelin sheath (where the immune system (I.S.) can not reach them).

• The best the I.S. can do is attack the tissue surrounding them.    This may actually cause more damage than the toxin/microbe is causing.
• Possible causes can be determined through laboratory testing for pathogens, metals, and toxins.

Spirochetes

If the MS patient has been infected with spirochete bacteria, then this is the likely cause (E.g. Borrelia burgdorferi transmitted by ticks causes Lyme's disease; Treponema pallidum is an agent of syphilis  and yaws; Borellia recurrentis causes relapsing fever).

Oral spirochetes cause disease in man.   Traditionally, dentists treated gum disease as an isolated phenomenon not damaging the whole person. We now know that gum disease is linked to common chronic illnesses. Bacteria can come from a perpetual stream of microbes from the jawbone area, as a result of periodontal disease or root canals/tooth extractions that became infected during the dental procedure. Root canals are a safe "hiding place"for microbes, until a time when they can "come out" and cause a recurrence of any disease. Levels of oral spirochetes are elevated in patients with periodontal diseases.

These bacteria can go through the skin of the gums just like the syphilis spirochete bacterium (Treponema pallidum) goes through the skin of the genitals. Once inside the body they can enter the blood stream and travel to any part of the body, including blood vessel walls and the brain, and damage them. (The spirochetes found in various places in the body have been identified by PCR DNA typing to be of oral origin).

 Oral spirochetes have been found in the brains of Alzheimers patients and in the plaques of heart disease patients (perhaps the link between gum disease and heart attack - the spores of spirochetes have been found in virtually all coronary artery plaques).

Historic evidence to support a causal relationship between spirochetal infections and Alzheimer’s disease

Spirochetes morph to a protective spore form when treated with antibiotics.   When under attack, the surviving oral spirochetes will stimulate a rapid transition to a protective spore form, especially in granulation (wound-healing) tissue. A review of other spirochetal diseases traces a one hundred year trail of evidence that leads to oral spirochetes as a major contributory factor in systemic disease.

Lyme Disease and MS can follow a relapse-remitting progression, thought to result from the many different forms that spirochetes (such as Borrelia Burgdoferi) is known to take: spirochete has an elongated form (5-20um) when there is a positive environment for itsactivity, but in the presence of antibiotics it curls up defensively into an undetectable, seemingly latent granular form ( .3 - .5 ϥum)

However, in this form it can squeeze through body pores and enter cells and organs, until when no longer threatened it can re-elongate.

Cystic structures more common in the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of MS patients than in control individuals.   Scientists also observed that spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi transforms to cystic forms after incubation in CSF and that they can reconvert to spirochetes if the conditions become favorable;

 Philadelphia Bacteriologist Rose Ichelson reported success in cultivating the microbe, Spirochaeta myelophthora, which she has found in the spinal fluid of MS victims. She infers that MS is caused by the spirochete, and early attack on it should lead to cure or alleviation.

Spirochetes thrive on steroids.   Medication typically given to reduce neural inflammation in MS. However, the steroids could actually result in the bacteria's destruction . . . acting as bait, steroids cause spirochetes to change into a form more susceptible to T-cell attack, possibly explaining the success of steroids.

TREATMENT REQUIRES KILLING SPIROCHETE BACTERIA WITH ELECTROMEDICINE.   Required because the bacteria is not in the bloodstream; electromedicine involves very low amperage electrical currents, electromagnetic waves or magnetic pulses, which can be done at home using painless, relatively affordable, electrical pulsing "tools"attached to or near the body;
