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.
