MS in the NEWS

More findings support the relationship between MS and vitamin D.

Picture
We’ve previously written on numerous occasions about the benefits of vitamin D and its significance in maintaining a healthy immune system. In cases of a multiple sclerosis (MS) relapse we almost always see low levels of D well below the recommended 60-80 ng/ml (nanograms per milliliter). 
In the 2020 published study, “the impact of vitamin D3 intake on inflammatory markers in multiple sclerosis patients and their first-degree relatives,” scientists found that vitamin D administration significantly increases the levels of the anti-inflammatory molecules and decreases the levels of pro-inflammatory molecules, indicating a shift in the immune system toward an anti-inflammatory state.1 As we’ve often noted and about which you’ve likely read a great deal as of late, these molecules or cytokines are the small secreted proteins important in cell signaling (read more about these and neural signaling in our recent scientific article). 
 
Viruses and vitamin D.
 
In addition to an association with neurodegenerative diseases, low vitamin D levels also have been linked to other illnesses including COVID 19. A study published mid-summer of last year looked at whether deficiencies in this nutrient implied greater severity of disease in some patients. In their abstract, authors noted that “a principal defense against uncontrolled inflammation, and against viral infection in general, is provided by T regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs). Treg levels have been reported to be low in many COVID-19 patients and can be increased by vitamin D supplementation. Low vitamin D levels have been associated with an increase in inflammatory cytokines and a significantly increased risk of pneumonia and viral upper respiratory tract infections.” The conclusion, which we’ve also discussed in an earlier blog, seems to indicate that easily available and affordable vitamin D3 supplements may be especially helpful now to include as part of a healthy lifestyle.  
 
It’s important to remember that vitamin D is not readily found in many foods and in combination with our indoor lifestyles, most of us may be very deficient - whether we have MS or not, this nutrient is vital to our health. We invite you to review some of our other articles that discuss in more detail the numerous benefits of vitamin D and, as always, talk to a doctor or nutritionist about supplementing your diet appropriately.
 
In health,
Dr. Suzanne Gazda

Being the winner of a multi-million dollar lottery certainly will be a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous PowerBall lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Doctor Odunga made me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top
