MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS
by Dr. Rajesh Shah Definition:
Multiple sclerosis is the disease of nervous system. The
disease is more common in the western world. The disease
affects young individuals, has a prolonged course and
causes disability at the prime of life. The disease is
marked by frequent remissions and relapses.
The disease produces a myriad of symptoms. Some of the
common symptoms include haziness and dimness of vision,
double vision, scanning speech, tremors of hands and legs,
weakness of one or more limbs, numbness and tingling pains
in the limbs, vertigo and loss of balance, etc.
Remarks: Though the
condition produces life-impairing symptoms, the exact
cause of this condition is not clear. Recent research
suggests that the disease is due to disturbance of immune
system where body’s own defense mechanism starts attacking
body’s own organs and tissues. The genetic and heredity
factors are at the root of this alteration of immune
system.
To sum up, multiple sclerosis is a constitutional disorder
and calls for an in-depth constitutional approach towards
its management. Homoeopathy, too, is based on the
constitutional approach. Homoeopathy medicines are
prescribed after taking into account the presenting
complaints along with physical, emotional and genetic
make up that individualizes a person. Homoeopathy
medicines being deep-acting assist in bringing back
deviations of immunity to normalcy.
Suggestion about homeopathic
treatment:
Although Multiple Sclerosis has always puzzled physicians
of all walks; interestingly homoeopathy system offers
reasonably positive treatment if not cure in such cases.
The various expressions of disease can be managed
effectively, gently, and safely with Homoeopathy.
Early intervention with homoeopathy can assist in preventing
further progress and hence deterioration caused by
disease. |
