MS LINKS
Well if you're interested in MS , there's
a lot of reading to do..
I've barely started....
General MS pages
My favorite page,since I'm interested in research, is the boston
MS Cure Project
it's updated almost every day, and really keeps me current on what's
going on. I especially like their
research
page
But talking to Art at the Boston Cure project , he thinks
the best page on the web is
mult-sclerosis.org
I'd agree that their links page is the best out there!
Another key resource is the
MS forum page at Harvard...
But there's tons of general info.
There's the
Multiple Sclerosis International
Federation
and the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation
and we can't forget the
Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada
a patient run page with a good url is
MSworld.org

"The Canadian geologist Dr. Ashton F. Embry (his
son has MS) collected these studies [2] and tried to come to conclusions
of how to treat MS (http://www.serafin.ch/embrye.htm). His aim was to
identify the cause of MS and thus to improve or even cure the disease.
His results should perhaps be more consequently followed up."

The possible connection between auto immune diseases and the
gastrointestinal tract are not ignored by all. Dr. John Mansfield,
an English doctor, assumes that many chronic diseases with unclear
causes have their beginnings in the digestive tract. In his opinion,
the mislead immune system - mainly of the digestive tract - develops
its work of destruction in many other parts of the body [5]. A situation
that could certainly apply to MS too.
Dr. John Mansfield is specialized on food intolerances
among other things. He tries to find the basic cause of a chronic
disease, which may well stand in connection with the food intolerances.
Diseases such as migraine, arthritis and asthma can thus be sensibly
treated. MS is not yet on his list. On the other hand it is known that
MS often proceeds in combination with food intolerances. However, MS has
the disadvantage that the causality between the ingestion of the intolerable
food and the following symptoms are not so easily recognizable as those
of migraine or asthma.
To summarize, one can say that it is a rather complex situation
which often involves food intolerances and other intestinal problems.
