At www.TamingMultipleSclerosis.com we provide information about natural and alternative ways, which are helpful for reducing the symptoms and the longer term effects of Multiple Sclerosis on
the body.

We also provide more information through our blog
at http://TamingMultipleSclerosis.blogspot.com

Our objective is to help you to understand more about natural and alternative ways, which may be available to you and how they can work with the body to help promote relief to many of effects of Multiple Sclerosis on the body, without all of the nasty side effects, which often result from medications, both over the counter and prescribed, which are more often recommended as treatment methods for managing the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.

We are not doctors, nor do we claim to be and all of the information available on our website, our article pages, our blog, in our Ebooks, or from any links to or from our site are not intended to prevent, diagnose, treat or cure any disease or other health condition, but is provided for informational purposes only.

The information is provided to help you to understand these ways so that you can discuss the natural and alternative ways that you are interested in with your doctor to decide if any other methods may be safe as possible options for aiding in reducing your symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis or for some one else, who you know or love, who may also be battling with MS.

Natural ways often require following a method for at least a few months to see if they are helping you or not.  Some people gain relief quickly, while other people do not.  Some people gain more long term effects in a good way, if the natural ways are working for them to some degree towards the beginning. Some people can become intolerant of certain brands or types of vitamins, if taken for a long period of time, like a few years.

I have had some of these problems myself over the several years that I have taken supplements and used natural and alternative ways for reducing my symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, and my doctor is aware of how over sensitive my system tends to be, but switching brands or methods helps from time to time.

Do only what you can tolerate and stop doing any method, if you develop a reaction to it and notify your doctor as soon as you can to make your doctor aware of any problems you are having with anything.

Some people do not do well with swallowing tablets or capsules and need to resort to using a powdered or granular form of a supplement that can be mixed with water to drink.

Supplements don't work well for some people, since there are times where the individual can't tolerate a particular brand of vitamin and needs to switch brands to be able to tolerate taking it or you may get to the point where you have a difficult time finding a certain vitamin, like zinc as an example, that you can tolerate taking.

Sometimes juicing or grinding whole foods, which are organically grown, can help to boost vitamin levels to prevent needing to take vitamins or other supplements in the first place.

Some vitamins and other nutrients can be gained from food and some can not, because of the soil being too depleted of nutrients from over farming, so that the nutritional content of the food is greatly reduced.

Eating organically grown foods often supplies a much higher levels of nutrients in the food, but that also requires being able to afford to buy organically grown foods or for organically grown foods to be available in the area where you live.

Natural ways can include:

* Diet changes for MS (Best Bet diet for MS, MS Recover diet,
   MS Swank diet, McDougall diet)

* Cutting out eating over processed and prepackaged foods, which 
   contain chemical additives, such as preservative, food colorings 
   and other chemically enhanced ingredients added during the
   processing of the foods.

* Cutting out all saturated fats and adding in Omega 3 fats, for 
   helping to reverse damage to nerves 

* Detoxifying your body naturally using vitamins, herbs, grinding whole foods and other natural ways

* Eating organically grown vegetables and fruits for reducing the 
   toxic load on the liver.

* Reducing or cutting out chemicals and metals hidden in hair care,    skin care, makeup, tooth paste, deodorant and other products 
   used on a regular basis; replace with more natural products.

* Taking Vitamins, herbs or other supplements to restore vitamins
   and minerals deficient in the body, often due to malabsorption 
   problems in MS.

* Juicing vegetables and fruits

* Grinding whole foods

* Exercising

* Physical therapy

* Horse therapy

* Brain Exercise therapy

* Riding exercise bike

* Breath therapy

* Laughter therapy

* Gentle Music therapy

* Sound therapy using sounds from nature -- waterfalls, waves at
   beach, woods at night

* Allergy Testing and Reduction

Natural ways can be very effective for helping to reduce the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, but each person diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis can react differently to things, so it is not "one size fits all" when it comes to using natural ways for helping to reduce the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.

People, diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis can also have other health conditions like diabetes, cancer, fibromyalgia or other health problems, which may also be present with MS.

These other diseases and helath conditions can make it so that what natural ways that do help with reducing the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, may be aggravating the other conditions also present at the same time.

Because of these type of complications, it is strongly
recommended that you do not even consider using any natural method without checking with your doctor, to be sure that a particular way is safe for you to use for helping to improve your overall health, including reducing the problems you may be experiencing because of Multiple Sclerosis.

In addition, keep in mind that if you are currently taking any medications, whether over the counter or prescription drugs, you need to consult with your doctors before starting any type of natural way, since some medications, whether over the counter or prescription drugs can interact with vitamins, herbs or other supplements or other natural ways.

Alternative ways can include:

* Acupuncture

* Biofeedback (Scio, EEG)

* Cranial Electrical Stimulation (CES)

* Reflexology

* Kinesiology

* Whole Body Vibration Exercises

* Tone therapy for reducing over reaction of nervous system

* Low Level Electrical Simulation (LENS)

* Yoga

* Tai Chi

* Qi Gong

* Meditation

* Acupressure

* Removal of Mercury fillings

* Mercury and other Metal Detoxifying methods, such as
   intravenous chelation treatments

Because Multiple Sclerosis attacks and often damages the nerves through out the nervous system, alternative ways have been found to help reduce the over reaction of the nervous system in many people, diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

This can include reducing pain, calming down the over reactions of the mind (like with anxiety, depression, over reactive anger, etc.), reducing spasms, reducing racing mind, reducing insomnia, to name a few.

Keep in mind that you do need to consult with your doctor to determine which alternative ways are safe for you to try, depending on how your nervous system has been effected by Multiple Sclerosis and how your body tends to react to neurostimulation.

Some alternative methods can create too strong an effect on your nervous system, depending on how sensitive your body is to the different ways of stimulating the nervous system.

Sometimes an over reacting to the neurostimulation can result in headaches, nauseousness and other symptoms, which are often not related to the way the Multiple Sclerosis is acting in your body.

Natural and/or alternative ways can be effective for reducing many of the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, but not every natural and/or alternative way works the same for each person, diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and may not be as effective in reducing the symptoms or the effects of Multiple Sclerosis for some people.

The effectiveness of natural and alternative ways for reducing
the symptoms and the effects of Multiple Sclerosis depends on several factors, including how your body metabolizes and reacts
to things, what other conditions you have together in combination with your particular case of Multiple Sclerosis and what type of prescription medications you are currently taking as a method of managing your symptoms of MS.

Natural and alternative ways are not a "cure" for Multiple Sclerosis, but another means for helping to calm down the over reactions of the nerves in the body to reduce the MS symptoms and help to increase how well you can function from day to day.

If done more consistently over a longer period of time, many natural ways can help to reverse some of the effects of Multiple Sclerosis on the nervous system, as well as help to reverse some of the nerve damage, which can result in many cases of Multiple Sclerosis.

Working with your doctor to find ways that are effective for you can sometimes take time, although at times you can find something right away that helps to bring you relief to your symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis.

Alternative therapies often require finding medial professionals,
who specialize in each particular method, in addition to being well trained and have more extensive experience in the use of each different way being used.

You should do some checking on the credentials, experience and track record of the type of results each medical professional has prior to starting any type of alternative way for helping to reduce your symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis for your own safety and peace of mind, when working with a new medical professional.

Diane writes about ways to work with your body in using natural and alternative ways to help your body to function better again
by working with your body's own natural defense and repair mechanisms.

Vitamin deficiencies are a big problem with the majority of cases
of Multiple Sclerosis, but taking vitamins and other supplements are not the only solution and Diane discusses some of the other methods for helping restore the vitamin deficiencies, which can
help reduce many of the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, including juicing and grinding whole foods to increase vitamin and nutrient levels in your body more quickly.

Diane also gives tips on life style changes for reducing symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, including reducing fatigue, reducing the effects of stress on MS, reducing spasticity, reducing insomnia, improving vision, reducing MS pain, reducing numbness and tingling, exercises to help improve muscle and nerve function, dietary changes, vitamins for boosting the immune system, ways to cool down overheating problems in MS, reducing bladder infections and much more for reducing the symptoms and the effects of Multiple Sclerosis.

Author of " Taming Multiple Sclerosis,
Using Alternative and Natural Ways to Reduce
the Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis " Ebook

Diane has been battling, herself, with a severe case of Multiple Sclerosis, since October of 1996.

She understands how devastating the affects of Multiple Sclerosis can be on
your health and on everything that you
are able to do on a daily basis.

Even the things that you can sometimes take for granted that you can do to take care of yourself and your family each day can be affected, so that your abilities to function are reduced, or maybe even 
taken away from you.

Multiple Sclerosis doesn't just affect the lives of those who have been diagnosed with it, MS also affects everyone involved in your life, including your family, your friends, your co-workers, and your loved ones.

Diane's Story

As a result of using natural and alternative ways, Diane is functioning so much better than she was, when she was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

As an additional benefit, after using the natural and alternative ways more consistently for a few years, the MS attacks occur
much less often and when they do appear, the attacks are much less severe, than the initial attacks Diane suffered.

The initial Magnetic Resonance Imaging testing or MRI diagnostic scans showed that Diane had severe scarring on her upper spine but the last MRI scan, from a few years ago, showed that the scarring on her upper spine is totally gone!

Diane's neurologist was amazed by all of this and remarked on how surprisingly stable her condition appears to be, since she was told along the way that she has Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

In addition, her neurologist was surprised at how well Diane functions, in spite of her initially very severe case of Multiple Sclerosis that she started with, which made it so that Diane
did not function at all without help.

Diane still has a ways to go in her recovery from the severe nerve damage that she initially suffered, but she is able to do much
more than she could originally to take care of herself and function much better more often for more days throughout each week.

Diane discussed the possibility that she has peripheral neuropathy with her neurologist, and he insisted that based on how weel the nerves in her legs and feet are responding, that from her neurologist's point of view that Diane doesn't have peripheral neuropathy, yet she is still unable to walk yet.

Diane does appear to have circulation problems in her legs, but it is uncertain at this point, if this is the reason why her nerves are not totally functioning as they should in her legs and this may have some bearig on why she is unable to wqalk still.

Further testing is planned to investigate this as a possible reason that Diane is unable to walk and the hope is that something can be found to help to improve her abilities to stand up and walk alreaday.

Although she is functioning much better in many ways, Diane is still searching for an explaintion as to why she can't walk and with finding ways to improve her ability to walk, since the doctors appear to be at a loss as to why she can't walk and needs to use a wheelchair for her to get around.

Diane's quest continues on searching for ways to reverse the remaining nerve damage or confusion of the nerves that she may have left, in her legs and feet, as a result of MS attacks on
her nerves and to find a way for her to be able to stand up and walk again.

The doctors have verified that Diane has dramatically improved from the severe symptoms that she initially struggled with, when she was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

Although Diane’s condition is still improving, Diane has a ways
to go in recovering from the remaining effects of Multiple Sclerosis on her body.

Diane wants to help you too.

You, who also battle with the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, can find relief to not only make life more tolerable, but to help you to return to more of the daily activities that you enjoyed, before Multiple Sclerosis changed your life.

Since Diane has found ways to help her to find relief, she has
also made it her mission to provide the information on what she has found that helps to others, diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis
in the hopes that you will find relief too and to help provide you with ways to regain more of your abilities to function again.

Finding ways to fight back against Multiple Sclerosis and regain more of your life is so very important that it is worth going to
the effort of finding what works for you.

Diane is doing what she can to help make it easier for you to
find the information on alternative and natural ways to help you
to find relief without having to do years of the "trial and error" method like she had to do for her to find relief to her symptoms
of Multiple Sclerosis.

Diane has written an eBook to help you to understand more
about natural and alternative ways and how they work, so you
have more information you can discuss with your doctor, for
helping you have more options for finding ways to reduce
your symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, in addition to reversing
more of the effects of Multiple Sclerosis on your body.

Diane's Favorite Sayings

Below are two of Diane's favorite sayings:

The first saying describes a way of viewing the body that can
help to promote healing in our bodies:

    "Learning to listen to our bodies and work with our bodies 
     speeds up the healing process, much better than if we have
     the mind set that we need to force our bodies into doing
     what we want them to do.

     If we are kind to our bodies, that kindness will be returned 
     back to us sevenfold in helping to give our bodies the support 
     that they need to help them to heal, restore and repair once
     again."
                                                         -- author unknown

The second saying summarizes the different ways that the
medical communities around the world often view the human
body, when it comes to dealing with more extreme health conditions, like Multiple Sclerosis:

    “There are two overall competing ways of viewing and 
     maintaining good health in the human body.

     In the first way of thinking, the discussions include talking
     about diagnosing diseases through using treatments to
     manage or minimize symptoms.

     In this way of thinking, those who follow this point of view
     also talk about how to prevent, reverse or cure debilitating 
     diseases.

     In the second way of thinking, the focus is more on
     balancing and reawakening the natural functioning of the
     body, in an effort to return the body to its original point
     of full functionality.

     Nature has a way of helping in this process.

     In reality, if we can find a way to give the body what it
     needs, it will heal, restore and repair itself.”
