Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute think that they have good news for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. And they might, if you’re still using traditional therapies to treat MS (however if you follow the advice below you might not need to use the traditional therapies). But I do think their findings are worth noting, as they could have positive implications for other diseases in the future.
As you may know, what makes MS so devastating is that the body begins to attack the protective myelin sheaths that coat the nerve cells. This leaves the cells unable to communicate correctly, which in turn can cause numbness, speech problems, vision loss, and issues with motor skills. Combating MS requires a treatment that encourages re-myelination, and the Scripps researchers believe they’ve found a way to promote that process.
Results….
They found that a metabolite called Taurine can help MS drugs encourage re-myelination. Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that’s important for metabolizing fats. Your brain already uses it, and we know it’s safe. When you combine it with the MS drugs benztropine or miconazole, it seems to help the body produce more myelin.
The researchers need to test this process more closely before moving on to humans, but they’re excited about the possibilities. They’re also excited because the overall process they’ve identified in this research, using metabolites to affect other cells, could work for a number of other diseases. This could be good news because metabolites are typically easy to produce and administer and are already recognized by the body.
I’m interested to see where this line of research takes us. I certainly think it has potential. There’s nothing wrong with taking taurine to fight MS. But I don’t think it will cure it. To do that, the work of Dr. Vincenzo Simonetti may have great interest to you. He’s an Italian doctor who has found an incredibly safe and effective way to treat MS. In fact, the disease has stopped progressing in 100% of his patients. And 90% of them have gone into complete remission within three months.
Dr. Simonetti achieves these results through a special type of therapy combined with having the patient give up milk and gluten. Dr. Simonetti also puts his patients through a detoxification process to rid their bodies of heavy metals, especially mercury.
This is asking a lot of people but I think you’ll find giving up a few treats is worth having your MS symptoms disappear.
Yours for better health,
Dr. Jack Belitz DC
PS February is Give the gift of Health Month
All month long if you have a loved one who is in need of help, you can send them in for a free exam, and consultation. Maybe they have back pain or headaches, maybe stomach pains or shortness of breath. Possibly they are taking steroids or anti depressants and want to find a way to get off those drugs. A computerized exam and consultation will often tell us what we need to know and what is possible for them . The gift of health is one of the most loving and powerful ways to help a loved one out.
