New scientific technologies in the laboratory have advanced our understanding of basic mechanisms of neurological disease over the past decade, changing the paradigm of how neurologists care for patients with debilitating and chronic diseases. In this presentation on multiple sclerosis, Dr. Joanne Guo explains how MS is an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Recorded on 02/24/2022.

Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve wanted to go into neurology forever but I was unknowingly suffering from a genetic disorder called ehlers-danlos syndrome and from that I found out that I have a tethered spinal cord, suspected chiari malformation, dx postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and orthostatic intolerance and gastroparesis. I think it has to be related to the vagus nerve or something deep like that. I miss being able to seek my passion, i feel like I lost it when I started getting sick… but learning more about this stuff makes me reignite a fire to seek out more. I just want to thank you. You give me hope that there are people looking into disorders that affect us, thank you for sharing your knowledge and teaching in a way that’s accessible to everyone. 💖💖💖💖💖

Would it be correct to say the spinal column is almost the same as a motorway/highway and the neurons and brain signals are like the cars travelling along. When the M.S virus occurs it takes on board as one of the vehicles that has broken down causing traffic along the motorway.. I am diagnosed with M.S and use this as a way of informing people when asked "What is M.S...For me its the easiest way to describe it... ❤2ALL StaySafe people ✌👍🤜🏽

Hello dr Maggie, Still i didn't saw the lecture but i have one case with my sister has MS that infected in her spinal cord which is made the difficulty in her movements and walking. My sister complains of back pain and shivering in the legs, and she is always accompanied by a muscle strain in the thighs. In addition, she has the stiffness of the foot area when walking with walker assistance. Are there vitamins and minerals pills that treat this area? Is there a specific food? What are the exercises in physiotherapist clinic that strengthen these areas? Is there a natural remedy for her to regain strength and movement? What are the necessary blood tests for it to treat its basic problems? Because I heard that there are mineral and vitamin analyzes for the spinal cord or for the nerves in general, very different from the normal blood test. Thank you.

Does anyone know if Spine MRI shows "vertabral body sclerosis" is that actually, MS? I do have symptoms & what I think qualifies as several events.

The clinicians appear to have a blind spot when it comes to a fundamental contributing factor to dysfunction and disease, the individual's diet. Could MS be due to dietary factors throughout the patient's lifetime? Some focus on this aspect might be as fruitful as the intent focus on diagnosis, medication and treatments. Auto immune diseases potentially involve a reaction to proteins introduced into the body. The main pathway for such proteins entering the body are through food. Any focus on disease should take into consideration the etiology of the biochemistry the body has been subjected to. The torrent of animal food products found in the Western diet, aka the Standard American Diet, likely drives the chemical confusion that tricks the body into attacking its own cells. The bacteria load that comes with any food products that had to undergo slaughter before processing as food are what prompts WBC's to manifest to round up and exclude the bacteria, both live and the carcasses. Where they go after mission accomplished is the primary expression of inflammation, the precursor of so many metabolic syndrome diseases. Causation unknown is not acceptable when dietary input isn't considered and examined.

I have a rotated scoliosis which was operated on 40 yrs ago. A problem to this day but I refused operations 2 supposedly sort out further. I saw no one who'd had further operations ever get better. I've lived with it till now I am 78 yrs old. Odd screws r now dislodged and creates problems. I exercise daily but am unable 2 pick myself up if I fall. Big problem in shower

please seek out a physical or occupational therapist that can help you identify shower equipment and safety strategies/equipment throughout your home. We see homebound Medicare clients with referral, and outpatients in facilities. Preventing a fall while increasing independence is far more important than knowing how to get up for almost everyone!
