While mainstream medicine continues to look for more drugs to help people afflicted with multiple sclerosis cope with their symptoms, many others are searching for an alternative treatment for MS.
Traditional medicine calls for the use of a variety of drugs to help reduce the quantity and severity of exacerbations that multiple sclerosis patients suffer with.
However while there is still much research to be done many patients are finding that traditional healing methods can bring a fair amount of success in helping to cope with MS.
One of the most important keys to understanding why people are looking for an alternative treatment for MS is that they are looking for relief from the symptoms perhaps more than a cure.
Doctors and scientists both want to assure us that there is no cure for multiple sclerosis, but yet many people who have moved away from medicines to more traditional remedies will tell you that they have had no relapses for years and that their doctors cannot explain why there is no longer any sign of the lesions that are the cause of MS.
The most basic alternative treatment for MS is to change your diet, there have been many studies done that show a diet rich in minerals and essential fatty acids such as Omega 3 and 6 can have a direct effect on multiple sclerosis.
The processed foods we eat today are so stripped of the vitamins and minerals that nature gave them that they have almost no nutritional value whatsoever.
Switching your diet over to one that includes organic fruits and vegetables along with plenty of fish can make a big difference in the overall well being of your body.
Relaxation techniques such as deep meditation coupled with exercises such as yoga and tai chi have also become a trademark alternative MS treatment.
Evidence shows that when the body is under stress it causes more exacerbations for the multiple sclerosis patients.
By teaching the patient to control their mind and relax, many have experienced a significant reduction in both the quantity and severity of relapses.
These methods are not designed to cure multiple sclerosis but may improve the quality of life for the person who has MS.
