Aluminum’s Potential Role in Multiple Sclerosis
When Ahmed Obeidat, MD, PhD, noticed a growing cluster of multiple sclerosis (MS) cases near his clinic in Wisconsin, he wanted to know why. As he investigated the mysterious occurrences, a theory emerged — aluminum may be a culprit in the development of MS. Dr. Obeidat, of the Medical CollegeRead
High-Oleic Fatty Acid Foods May Help Multiple Sclerosis Patients
The abnormal immune system response that causes multiple sclerosis (MS) by attacking and damaging the central nervous system can be triggered by the lack of oleic fatty acids in fat tissue, according to a new Yale study, published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation. The finding suggests that dietary changeRead
Interview with Terry Wahls, MD on a New Study on Therapeutic Lifestyle for MS
Terry Wahls, MD has some exciting news. She has a new update of her book, The Wahls Protocol.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Chronic Disease: Treatment With Natural Supplements
It is well known among researchers that mitochondrial genetic or primary mitochondrial disorders contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction as well as secondary or acquired degenerative disorders. This review will concentrate on nongenetic or acquired mechanisms that could explain mitochondrial dysfunction and their replacement treatment with natural supplements and combinations of natural supplements, including vitamins, minerals, enzyme cofactors, antioxidants, metabolites, transporters, membrane-type phospholipids, and other natural supplements. Combinations of supplements can reduce significantly the fatigue and other symptoms associated with chronic disease and can naturally restore mitochondrial function, even in long-term patients with intractable fatigue.
