There are many resources in the medical community and on the internet for evaluating symptoms as possible indicators of MS, such as Web MD and the National Institutes of Health Medline Plus resource. On these sites you will find a wide range of symptoms listed, including dizziness, fatigue, depression, loss of balance, tremors, weakness, and vertigo. Because these symptoms can be a result of a wide variety of conditions, it takes some time and multiple tests to arrive at a diagnosis. Additionally, MS develops over time, and in the early stage it can be difficult to detect. If you do have dizziness and loss of balance, don’t put off seeing your doctor in the hope that they will go away. The progression of the disease can sometimes be prolonged with medical help.
If you do receive a diagnosis, then what? Most likely your health practitioner’s approach will involve a variety of medications to help your body cope with the disease and hopefully slow it’s progression. Side effects of the medications prescribed can include flu-like symptoms, which can be difficult to endure from day to day.
Today, many people seek alternatives that can augment their drug regimen or even help to reduce the dependence on drugs. Nutritional support for MS can be extremely beneficial. As a nutraceutical consultant, I receive many testimonials from people who have tried alternatives and achieved some relief from their symptoms. Some of the supplements that have had the greatest benefit for the most people include super antioxidants such as OPC-3, B vitamins, such as Advanced B Complex, and Ultimate Aloe juice.
A high-quality super-antioxidant, such as OPC-3, can help to reduce toxic overload in the liver from the drugs. And by neutralizing free radicals it can also help to reduce the burden on the immune system, enabling it to fight the disease more effectively.
Note that nutritional support is just that. While supplementation offers a methodology for supporting the body and the immune system, it does not provide a cure.
