Multiple Sclerosis, Diet And Circulation

The following is an excerpt from Hot and Cold Health (c) 2003 revised 2009 by R. G. Heft (Acupuncture Physician Fl 1992- 2002). It is based on traditional Chinese, Ayurvedic and Western medicines and the questioning and counseling of 100,000+ people. Western medical authority does not scientifically recognize either medicine. It considers them more opinion than fact despite the fact that two billion plus people practices them.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a nervous system disorder caused by the deterioration of the myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is the fatty tissue that wraps, insulates the nerve fibers. MS is often characterized as an autoimmune disease as the body’s immune system malfunctions, producing antibodies that attack the myelin sheaths, scarring the nerves and distorting communication, producing dizziness, fatigue, blurred or double vision, tingling, numbness in the hands and feet, loss of balance and or muscular stiffness. Most of these symptoms can also be caused by poor diet, long-term low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate.

MS is common in the US and Great Britain and less common, almost unheard of, in many Asian countries. It tends to attack women (more than men), between the ages of twenty-five and forty and is more common in north than south.

Most women tend to eat low protein, low fat (dairy, beans, nuts and seeds) and high carbohydrate (grains, pasta, bread, salads, tropical fruits, juices, etc.). Most men tend to eat high protein, fat (saturated) and starch and low vegetables, fruit. Most Asians tend to eat moderate amounts of meat, fish, eggs, etc along with beans, nuts, seeds, grains, cooked vegetables, fruits, tea and or soup.

Protein and fat (red meat, eggs, chicken turkey, cheese, beans, etc.) build and fuel all structure and function. Too little tends to thin the blood, which in turn, thins everything else, including the nerves, myelin sheath, etc. The body digests, transforms and transports food, nutrients into blood, structure and function. Too little protein and fat and or too many carbohydrates tend to weaken digestion, absorption, blood. Weakened, thin (low protein, low fat) blood (blood deficiency) thins, weakens all structure and function, including balance, speech, vision, etc.

Most American women tend to eat low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate diets. They, like all women, also menstruate, lose blood, three to seven days, every month for thirty plus years from the first menses (menarche) to the last (menopause). The combination of menstruation and long-term low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate diets tend to predispose them towards developing autoimmune diseases: MS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, etc.

Cold climates require more substance, energy, heat, fuel, protein and fat. Low protein and low fat diets tend to produce deficiency symptoms, diseases more so in colder climates, than in hot, which require less fuel, energy, heat, protein, etc.

Too much protein and fat can also cause similar symptoms, but not the deterioration of the myelin sheath.

All blood passes in and out the liver. The liver stores, cleanses (removes excess protein, fat, cholesterol, etc.) and releases the blood. High protein, high fat diets, in the extreme, tend to clog, congests and weakens the liver. Less protein, fat, etc. are removed from the blood. More stays in the liver (congested, swollen), blood (high cholesterol), arteries (atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis), etc., which in turn, reduces circulation of blood, especially to the extremities: head, arms and legs, producing blood deficiency symptoms: pain, inflammation, numbness, etc.

Many men tend to eat high protein, high fat diet, which in turn, tends to reduce circulation to the extremities: head, arms and legs producing M.S., arthritic symptoms: fatigue, dizziness, slurred speech, loss of balance, pain and numbness in the extremities, etc., but not the deterioration of the myelin sheath, which is the major defining symptom of MS.

Deterioration of the myelin sheath can only be medically diagnosed via an MRI or spinal tap. Without this diagnosis, confirmation, the symptoms appear to be more rheumatic, autoimmune, diet related. This is one reason why alternative therapies like marijuana smoking help with the pain, commonly associated with M.S. Montel Williams (50+ years old) diagnosed with M.S. reports that marijuana smoking lessens the pain. Marijuana does not repair the myelin sheath, but it does relax the liver, which in turn, improves blood circulation to the extremities, lessening pain, inflammation, numbness, etc. He has no additional symptoms: slurred speech, blurred vision, loss of balance, etc. suggesting a possible misdiagnosis.

Poor diet, malnutrition, chemical poisoning, pesticides, mercury, etc generally cause M.S. The middle diet, meal plan (1/3 protein and fat, 1/3 grain, 1/3 vegetables and fruits, spices, tea and o soup) adjusted according is recommended.
