The goal is to remove all foods that may be triggering the body to attack its own tissues. Researchers believe that one of the possible causes of autoimmune ailments, such as MS, is certain foods that are new to humanity (grain products, dairy products, lentils and beans, and yeasted foods) which have only appeared in the past 40,000 years. Meats, nuts, vegetables and fruits have been eaten for over 2 million years.

Therefore, returning to a diet that is made of meat, nuts, and produce may remove one of the main offending causes behind autoimmune problems. It can take 3-6 months to assess whether this dietary elimination of mimetic proteins in allergenic foods is effective.

Check for candida albicans and chronic viral infections and apply the corresponding Nutritional Support Protocols. Mercury is also considered to be possible contributing cause of MS. Check heavy metal levels and detoxify if indicated. Test blood vitamin D levels (25(OH)D3). Check CMP for possible excess AA, deficient EPA and possible higher than optimal AA/EPA ratio (which is known to exacerbate auto-immune activity). Check MS panel with Immunosciences (antiboldies to myein sheaths and brain structures). Based on hormone levels and hormonal balance consider: DHEA, which shifts immune balance toward tolerance (TH1/TH2). Progesterone can help regenerate myelin sheaths. Pregnenolone has a neuronal regenerative effect Diet: Dairy, grain, yeast and legume free, high in EFAs.

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:
Try to expose most of the body in the sun between 11-2pm for at least 20 min on each side. This may result in the production of 10,000IU Vit D per day. Sun exposure had additional benefits for the immune system aside from stimulating Vit D production.
