Welcome to this site. If this is your first visit, please take a few minutes to look around. There is a lot more here besides alternative and herbal treatments.

Alternative and/or herbal treatments/remedies is a large subject and could, in all likelihood, have a whole web site devoted to it, so trying to present it in one or two pages may be a bit of a challenge.

A commercial herbal product called Padma 28© was given to people with MS. After taking two pills three times per day, 44% of these people experienced increased muscle strength and general improvement. Padma 28 is based on a traditional Tibetan formula.

Inflammation of nerve tissue is partly responsible for the breakdown of myelin in people with MS. When intravenous injections of a constituent of Ginkgo biloba, known as ginkgolide B, were given to people with multiple sclerosis for five days, 80% of them reportedly improved. This specialised treatment is experimental, and it is not known whether oral use of ginkgo extracts would have the same effect.

Green Tea is has potential in the treatment and prevention of neuro-degenerative diseases, such as MS. A major constituent of green tea is epigallocatechnin-3-gallate (or ECGG). This has been found to powerfully inhibit auto-reactive T cells (imuune cells that attack one’s own tissue). Green tea, is derived from dried leaves of the Camellia Sinesis plant, came over from China between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago. Now green tea is popular both for it’s taste and many health benefits.
