VITAMINS FIGHT MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

(OMNS) New research confirms that niacinamide, also known as vitamin

B-3, is a key to the successful treatment of multiple sclerosis and

other nerve diseases. [1] Niacinamide, say researchers at Harvard

Medical School, " profoundly prevents the degeneration of demyelinated

axons and improves the behavioral deficits. "

 

This is very good news, but it is not at all new news. Over 60 years

ago, Canadian physician H.T. Mount began treating multiple sclerosis

patients with intravenous B-1 (thiamine) plus intramuscular liver

extract, which provides other B-vitamins. He followed the progress of

these patients for up to 27 years. The results were excellent and

were described in a paper published in the Canadian Medical

Association Journal in 1973. [2]

 

Mount was not alone. Forty years ago, Frederick Robert Klenner, M.D.,

of North Carolina, was using vitamins B-3 and B-1, along with the

rest of the B-complex vitamins, vitamins C and E, and other nutrients

including magnesium, calcium and zinc to arrest and reverse multiple

sclerosis. [3,4] Klenner's complete treatment program was originally

published as " Treating Multiple Sclerosis Nutritionally, " Cancer

Control Journal 2:3, p 16-20. His detailed megavitamin protocol is

now posted for all interested persons to read at

http://www.tldp.com/issue/11_00/klenner.htm

 

Drs. Mount and Klenner were persuaded by their clinical observations

that multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and many other

neurological disorders were primarily due to nerve cells being

starved of nutrients. Each physician tested this theory by giving his

patients large, orthomolecular quantities of nutrients. Mount's and

Klenner's successful cures over decades of medical practice proved

their theory was correct. B-complex vitamins, including thiamine as

well as niacinamide, are absolutely vital for nerve cell health.

Where pathology already exists, unusually large quantities of

vitamins are needed to repair damaged nerve cells.

 

Nutritional therapy is inexpensive, effective and, most important,

safe. There is not even one death per year from vitamins. [5]

 

Vitamin supplementation is not the problem. It is under-nutrition

that is the problem. Vitamins are the solution.

 

Restoring health must be done nutritionally, not pharmacologically.

All cells in all persons are made exclusively from what we drink and

eat. Not one cell is made out of drugs.

What is Orthomolecular Medicine?

 

Linus Pauling defined orthomolecular medicine as " the treatment of

disease by the provision of the optimum molecular environment,

especially the optimum concentrations of substances normally present

in the human body. " Orthomolecular medicine uses safe, effective

nutritional therapy to fight illness. For more information:
