There's nо сurе for MS, but it's роѕѕіblе to mаnаgе symptoms. Multiple sclerosis (MS) develops when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the central nervous system. There is no cure for MS, but certain treatments and dietary choices may help some people manage the condition. Treatment for MS focuses on managing a person's symptoms and helping them live with the condition. A well-balanced diet can improve a person's overall health and may assist in the management of MS. Understanding the role of the diet in MS and making certain changes may result in fewer relapses, a lower risk of health complications, and a better quality of life
Download or read book Unraveling MS written by Robert Soll, , and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-21 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What actually causes multiple sclerosis (MS) has been a mystery since it was first recognized as a distinct disease more than 160 years ago. Much has been learned about this disease, especially in the last 30 years. How Dr. Soll became interested in MS and his work with an antiserum for MS is presented along with a very curious and interesting observation. We now know that the immune system is definitely involved in the development of MS, and viral infections also probably contribute to its onset while both bacterial and viral infections contribute to its progression. This book, written for the average person, describes our amazing immune system in words that can be easily understood. It also delves into the interesting anatomy of our nervous system, the nature of viruses that appear to be involved, and the surprising communication system that exists between our white blood cells. Images are presented that demonstrate important points. Finally, the relationship of food to our health is discussed. Adverse reactions to food may actually aggravate MS and other autoimmune diseases, but such reactions may also affect our longevity. Practical suggestions for improving one's diet are presented. This book is intended especially for patients, relatives, and friends, as well as those individuals who simply would like to learn more about the nature of multiple sclerosis, other autoimmune diseases, or their own health.

Book excerpt: The compelling story of an acclaimed journalist and New York Times bestselling author’s ongoing struggle with epilepsy—how, through personal resilience and the support of loved ones, he overcame medical incompetence and institutional discrimination to achieve once unthinkable success. With a new afterword • “REMARKABLE . . . inspirational in the true sense of the word.”—The New York Times Book Review This is the story of one man’s battle to pursue his dreams despite an often incapacitating brain disorder. From his early experiences of fear and denial to his exasperating search for treatment, Kurt Eichenwald provides a deeply candid account of his years facing this misunderstood and often stigmatized condition. He details his encounters with the doctors whose negligence could have killed him, but for the heroic actions of a brilliant neurologist and the family and friends who fought for him. Ultimately, A Mind Unraveled is an inspirational story, one that chronicles how Eichenwald, faced often with his own mortality, transformed trauma into a guide for reaching the future he desired. Praise for A Mind Unraveled “An intimate journey . . . bravely illuminating the trials of living inside a body always poised to betray itself.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “Poignant and infuriating . . . merges elements of medical drama, anti-discrimination fable, and coming-of-age memoir.”—The New Yorker “One of the best thrillers I’ve read in years, yet there are no detectives, no corpses, no guns or knives.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune “Terrific . . .

Eichenwald has created a universal tale of resilience wrapped in a primal scream against the far-too-savage world."—Booklist (starred review) “An extraordinary book.”—Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of The Dance of Anger
Download or read book Unraveled Books 1 3 written by Marie Johnston and published by LE Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do three millionaires have to do with a comic book shop? The first millionaire wants to shut it down. The second millionaire gets bought during a fundraising bachelor auction. And the third millionaire falls for one of the owners, who happens to be the father of one of her students. Three standalone stories in one box set. Unraveled was previously published as the Fanboys box set with the titles Unmistaken Identity, Highest Bidder, and Based on Principal. First to Lie I’m living the dream. My comic book shop supports me and my ailing mother, and I have a chance to buy the strip mall it's in. For only a dollar. That is until my dear friend and landlord dies before the sale, leaving the place to his estranged son who plans to shut my store down and sell the building. If only I can confront my new landlord and convince him how much the place means to me, and how much it meant to his father. But he’s ignoring my calls and my emails, so I take it one step farther and track him down in his nightclub. I should’ve done my research first. First to Bid In high school, my crush on Flynn wasn't so secret, but he was so far out of my league that I didn’t care. I had more important things to survive. Ten years have passed, I’ve built a new life, and it’s my lucky day. He's one of the eligible bachelors in the fundraising auction I'm helping organize. I saved money to donate to an organization that helped me escape a bad situation, but if I can give it to the same cause and buy a week away with Flynn, why not? First to Fail By day, I'm a strict principal of a private school filled with wealthy families like the one I grew up in. By night, I'm a lithe assassin with a penchant for latex and roller derby. At least my cosplay character is, and I never let my personal life bleed into my professional one. Until the handsome comic book shop owner I had a steamy session with at the local comic con walks into my office. Chris is the father of one of my students, and completely off limits. I wouldn’t be a good role model for all my young students if I trashed my career over a guy, not even one I can’t quit thinking about.
Download or read book The Neurobiology of Multiple Sclerosis written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2007-06-07 with total page 759 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated neurodegenerative disorder of the human central nervous system (CNS) which usually affects young adults with certain genetic backgrounds who are then exposed to certain precipitating environmental antigen(s). Despite major advances of the past two decades in understanding the pathophysiology of MS, and in spite of the introduction of new immunomodulatory and immuno-suppressive agents which may slow down disease progression and delay the onset of disability, the "cause and the "cure for MS remain elusive. This volume of International Review of Neurobiology focuses on MS and related disorders. The volume can be divided into various sections with the main emphasis on MS pathogenesis, clinical features and epidemiology, neuroimaging, and treatment. The ultimate goal of this book is to encourage further research into the pathogenesis of this elusive disease.
Download or read book The truth in complexes why unraveling ion channel multi protein signaling nexuses is critical for understanding the function of the nervous system written by Leigh Anne Swayne and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the search for simple explanations of the natural world, its complicated textures are often filed down to a smoothened surface of our liking. The impetus for this Research Topic was borne out of a need to re-ignite interest in the complex – in this case in the context of ion channels in the nervous system. Ion channels are the large proteins that form regulated pores in the membranes of cells and, in the brain, are essential for the transfer, processing and storage of information. These pores full of twists and turns themselves are not just barren bridges into cells. More and more we are beginning to understand that ion channels are like bustling medieval bridges (packed with apartments and shops) rather than the more sleek modern variety – they are dynamic hubs connected with many structures facilitating associated activities. Our understanding of these networks continues to expand as our investigative tools advance. Together these articles highlight how the complexity of ion channel signaling nexuses is critical to the proper functioning of the nervous system.
