WHAT IS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS According to the American Academy of Neurology, "Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological disorder of young adults". The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America estimates that "as many as 500,000 Americans have MS,.. with women affected twice as often as men" MS is a degerative disease of the central nervous system. In the course of the disease, myelin (a white fatty substance that acts as an electrical insulator for the nerves) is progressively destroyed and the formation of hard scar tissue on the protective myelin sheath which surrounds nerves stops the nerve cells from working. The risk of MS varies for different geographic areas, and increases as one lives further north or south of the equator. MS traditionally falls into one of four categories: benign, (approximately 20%), relapsing/remitting, (approximately 20%-30%), relapsing/progressive, (approximately 40%), and chronic progressive (approximately10%-20%). The first three types tend to begin suddenly, while chronic progressive usually has a slow onset of symptoms which advance to a permanent loss of certain functions and abilities. Many MS sufferers initially have relapsing remitting disease with its abrupt onset of neurological problems that later spontaneously improve. Other patients with chronic progressive disease have a gradual onset of problems with a slow, but steady worsening. Every sufferer differs with respect to type, duration and severity of their symptoms. During an attack, (exacerbation), abnormalities may persist for days or weeks. Symptoms of the disease are numerous and include such things as; vision loss, numbness or tingling, weakness, unsteady gait, double vision, dizziness, vertigo, bladder difficulties, spasticity, cognative problems and fatigue. Any MS symptom has the potential to worsen when a sufferer is experiencing additional conditions such as, stress, anxiety, depression, heat, lack of sleep, or poor nutrition. The majority of MS patients may continue to live a productive and happy lifestyle. Of those diagnosed, 75% will not need a wheelchair. Therapies, both with and without the use of medication, exist for many of the symptoms experienced by individuals with MS. Knowledge of these therapies and preventative measures is vital to every patient who experiences MS symptoms. (Multiple Sclerosis Association of America)

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a tragic disease. It strikes relatively young persons and has no known cure. More than 100,000 individuals in Germany and worldwide many more than one million individuals suffer from MS. The disease is seen much more frequently in cold, damp climactic regions than in warmer countries. Independent of these climactic zones, however, specific population groups are afflicted more frequently with this disease. MS occurs about twice as frequently among women as in men. It usually begins between the ages of 15 and 40. In fact, MS is the third most common cause of severe disability in patients in the United States between the ages of 15 and 50, reports Reuven Sandyk, M.D., M.Sc., in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.

Multiple Sclerosis, An Explanation by Randall T. Schapiro, MD Director, Fairview MS Center Fairview-University Medical Center The brain works like a big computer. It is an electrical system. It sends its messages down wires. They are not called wires in the nervous system. They are called nerves but they function as wires, electrically. It is a good, efficient, and effective system. The reason it is so effective is that it is highly insulated. Similar to rubber insulating a wire; a fatty substance, myelin, insulates the nerves. The myelin allows rapid, efficient electrical conduction. For some reason, in some people, this myelin degenerates. When it degenerates it leaves a hardened area. If one could take out the nervous system and look at it, the demyeliminated areas look scarred, sclerotic. Thus the process has been named sclerosis. Because it occurs in spotty areas, it is dubbed multiple sclerosis. People have more myelin than is necessary. In much the same manner that one can lose a kidney and get along some myelin can be lost without creating a problem. Depending on how much myelin is lost and where it is lost, one gets symptoms. If myelin is lost in the brain or connections carrying sensitive, numbness results. If is lost in the brain or connections carrying coordination, klutsyness results. If the myelin is lost in the connections of strength, weakness results. The number of combinations possible are endless. Consequently, no two people with MS are alike

Medline record 93293421 Title: Successful treatment of multiple sclerosis with magnetic fields....Author(s): Sandyk R NeuroCommunication Research Laboratories, Danbury, CT 06811.Source: Int J Neurosci 1992 Oct;66(3-4):237-50 Abstract: The present communication concerns a 50 year-old woman with a 15 year history of chronic-progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) in whom extracranial application of picoTesla magnetic fields (MF) produced a dramatic and sustained improvement in disability. In contrast, administration of melatonin (3 mg, P.O.) produced in this patient a rapid exacerbation of disability which was reversed subsequently by treatment with MF. It is hypothesized that the therapeutic effects of picoTesla MF involve the mediation of the pineal gland which is known to act as a magnetosensor. The report demonstrates, for the first time, the remarkable efficacy of weak MF in the symptomatic treatment of chronic-progressive MS and underscores the pivotal role of the pineal gland in the pathophysiology of MS. If confirmed by a larger cohort of patients, extracranial application of picoTesla MF may prove as an extremely efficacious, nonpharmacological modality for the treatment of MS
