Multiple Sclerosis and Healing

I thought I would share this great article I read:

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Treatment Using Medical Intuition & Energy Healing by: Brent Atwater
Montel Williams called it an insidious disease. Richard Pryor passed away with it's complications, and Michael Wellford, when diagnosed, just said "I'm NOT having it!" Multiple Sclerosis or MS is a slow progressing disorder and then disease that drains it's owners of energy and then life functioning abilities. Multiple Sclerosis symptoms, like a shadow, are always there, even in remission, and ever present in it's ultimate progression.

When you receive notification that you need to be tested for multiple sclerosis symptoms, your mind definitely has something to deal with. There are so many "what ifs" to consider, and an entire new future to contemplate that is mind-boggling. Even the strongest individuals succumb to moments of random horror, selective thought patterns, and then a bone chilling resolve of sorts as to how to handle their diagnosis. When that blood test and MRI scan come back negative for those that are lucky, you are ever grateful for being spared the "positive" test result. As a medical intuitive and intuitive distant energy healer I work with Multiple Sclerosis treatment for clients.

Although addressing physical problems is a major concern, first one must address the underlying emotional and mental contributions that direct the body to manifest the disease. If the disorder is not a Karmic journey that the soul has chosen to experience, then I begin with positive mind over matter actions, attitudes and affirmations.

In deciding right now, this very minute, to address and make positive free will choices to change your mind's attitude about your multiple sclerosis symptoms immediately starts a healing process. I have found that in early stage MS mental positive attitude creates a greater immune system response that in turn helps diminish symptoms. It's the old adage of YOUR mind over YOUR matter. Your cells are here to house your life force energy called your Soul. You are the commander of your cells, ie your body, and YOU are the superintendent of your building ie your body, so how you handle your maintenance is all part of the healing journey. Having a "can do" attitude directs your cellular structure to do just that, assist in healing itself.

My personal multiple sclerosis research has shown that the fatigue suffered by most MS clients can be greatly diminished by mental resolve to get up and get going and to command your cells to do so. Further investigations have illustrated that prayers, affirmations, and talking to and commanding your cells have great beneficial results. Once we have established a solid mental directive to be as physically healed as possible, we now address physical concerns and complications with energy healing. Energy healing and multiple sclerosis shows great promise.

By using directed electromagnetic bio molecular energy healing, we can reframe bio structures to their initial blueprint of health. Neural pathways can be restructured so that those with paralysis can move their legs or arms. Numb extremities can be revived and regenerated to sensation. In several clients' with these complications, after the cellular and neural connections were restored and regenerated, physical therapy was used to restore their muscles that had atrophied due to lack of use over months or years. Other sensations such as tingling could be reversed by regenerating the nerve's mylen sheath, and personal energy levels can be restored.

To date, various multiple sclerosis complications can be reversed, and or put into remission or lessened with energy healing. In the future, energy healing and using mind over your matter biofeedback with your cells, will be another form of multiple sclerosis treatment that will facilitate and create healthy bodies for those experiencing MS.

Multiple Sclerosis and 4ap

Several days ago I recieved a letter in the mail from Acorda Therapeutics. I did not recognize the company but I noticed it talked about multiple sclerosis so I knew it was for me.

I was doing a search on the web to find some research baking up increased dosages of 4ap (4 amino pyridine is the only drug that makes my multiple sclerosis easier to deal with) of 40 mg per day. Currently, 30 mg per day is widely used but if we could get a little more of this wonder drug, I know that I would feel amazing in terms of mobility. To my surprise, Acorda came up in this search.

As it turns out, they have been doing research on a new formulation of 4ap specifically for multiple sclerosis patients. This drug completed phase three testing in September and has been in the process for FDA approval since. Here is why this is good:

- Acorda found the multiple sclerosis patients walked 25% faster - which is amazing
- If the drug Fampridine-SR gains FDA approval, it will be accepted as a drug used for multiple sclerosis and therefore covered under our prescription drug plans (I pay full price for this drug because it does not have FDA approval so this is critical)

Yeah - one gain for the MS patients!

Multiple Sclerosis and Eating Better Quality Food

I am reading this great book about the weight loss benefits of eating a diet rich in whole foods. I have always thought this is better for you because I know that the majority of our diets are too processed. I believe that this is also particularly beneficial for people with multiple sclerosis. I think that if you put better quality things in your body, you will get better results from you body. This could be very beneficial for those of us with multiple sclerosis.

Here is a little more information to swing you a little more to this way of thinking for weight loss and better health in general:

- whole foods have more natural, disease-fighting ingredients to keep us healthier
- whole foods force our bodies to work harder to break down food -- this activity keeps our digestive system at peak function, causes less insulin production (insulin production makes us fat) and forces our bodies to use more of the food rather than flushing it out
- whole foods have more vitamins and nutrients that satisfy you faster so you are not craving unhealthy food so much -- this is key to weight loss as many times we eat as our bodies are craving a nutrient it needs
- organic foods (particularly meat and diary) have fewer antibiotics for your body to become immune to plus, if the animals are plant-fed you are getting even more nutrients
- organic foods have fewer pesticides that cause illness and break down our bodily functions

When you eat better quality food (not sugar and white flour), your bodily systems work better helping you to be healthier by keeping your body in balance. Multiple sclerosis is one of those crazy things where if any facet of your body is off, so is your walking, talking or other abilities.

Let's fight this multiple sclerosis and not let it take over and wreak havoc on our bodies!

Multiple Sclerosis and Losing Weight

Amongst all of the other things I must deal with in life, I also have multiple sclerosis. I have always been heavy, too. In fact, I feel confident that my current health situation (having multiple sclerosis) is loosely linked to the constant intake of poison when I was younger. I mean all of the fake sweeteners, of course. I believe all of the aspartame I sucked down to be thin has something to do with my MS.

Isn't that crazy...trying to solve one problem may have actually led to another?

Okay, here is another twist on this twist of fate. I am constantly battling my multiple sclerosis (just as with my weight). Several months ago I joined Weight Watchers so now I am much more cautious of what I am eating (i.e. eating more healthy food and smaller quantities). Suspiciously, my multiple sclerosis seems in check.

- I have more energy (which is absolutely critical with MS)
- I am walking better
- I want to workout more

Crazy that trying to get healthy is actually helping my health. Hmmm...

Multiple Sclerosis and Colds Stink!!

Okay, I have MS and I believe I should never get anything else. However, that is just not how multiple sclerosis works. I have had a cold now for eight days and today is the worse day of all. What stinks is that when anything is wrong with me health wise, my multiple sclerosis is worse. Today I am really having a tough time walking. My foot has been dragging a little more while I have been sick.

So, not only do I feel miserable from the cold (my throat is scalding), I have the side effects of multiple sclerosis! Since I can only concentrate on one thing at a time, I will focus on getting over the cold first. That will help the MS go so much better!

Here is the kicker, though, with being sick and having MS. I can't boost my vitamin intake of vitamin C as this pumps up the immune system. With multiple sclerosis, I already have a heightened immune system, boosting it more will just make the multiple sclerosis worse. How's that for a double whammy!?
