• Answer:

  Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease, a non-contagious chronic autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system which can present with a variety of neurological symptoms occurring in attacks or slowly progressing over time. A definite diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis requires evidence for dissemination of lesions within the central nervous system both in space and in time. This means that not only must there exist evidence of at least two distinct lesions, verifiable by clinical symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis or by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), there must also be evidence of an occurrence of new symptoms or lesions of Multiple Sclerosis within a time interval of at least 30 days. A lumbar puncture, which is a procedure done to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid, is useful for providing evidence of chronic inflammation of the central nervous system, often indicated by oligoclonal banding. Nerve conduction studies of optic, sensory and motor nerves can provide further evidence for Multiple Sclerosis, as the process of demyelination results in reduced nerve conduction velocities. The diagnostic process of Multiple Sclerosis is completed by several laboratory tests to exclude other diseases that can mimic Multiple Sclerosis, such as sarcoidosis, vasculitis, and Lyme disease. Multiple Sclerosis affected individuals may experience a wide variety of symptoms, such as vision loss, double vision, nystagmus, difficulty with speech, various kinds of tremor, clumsiness of the hands, unsteady gait, weakness, spasticity, numbness, and bladder, bowel, as well as sexual dysfunction. Various cognitive impairments are also common in Multiple Sclerosis, such as difficulty performing multiple tasks at once, difficulty following detailed instructions, loss of short term memory, depression, and fatigue. Transfer Factor Tri-Factor (not Transfer Factor Plus Tri-Factor) is the immune educating natural supplement which supress your over active immune system. Autoimmune diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis are caused by your own immune system starting to react and attack your own body. Here are some of the testimonials for your information; I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy at 16, which turned out to be my first encounter with MS which got worse as time went on. Two years ago I had a whiplash. A bone scan found a new lesion in my spinal cord between the base of the skull and my neck and lesions in my brain and lower brain stem, which explained a lot of the strange illnesses over the years. I could not do much except walk from the bed to the couch and with great difficulty cook a meal. I was so weak and shaky having no balance, dizzy and feeling sick all the time. I lost weight from being 81/2 stone to just below 7 stone. I could not use a can opener, pick up the cat or stand in the shower. Getting dressed was a real effort. I was given a brochure about transfer factors but could not see how it could help me until 6 months later in sheer desperation I read the brochure again. I started taking one capsule a day gradually working up to three a day. I felt awful if not a little worse, but having made the commitment to myself to do the three months trial I persevered. Two weeks later I started to feel a little better and I was wondering if it was working. Just as I finished the bottle of capsules I found I could stand in the shower which I could not do before. The second month of the trial I found I no longer needed help with my shopping and was able to do it alone. One day while shopping at the supermarket I had to leave everything and go home. I was shaky, dizzy, and felt really sick, just as I had been as in the old days. When I got home I realised I had forgotten to take my transfer factors. After eight months of taking them, I am excited because I can now do the things that I used to do before my illness. Over the months the tingling in my hands and feet has abated and the burning down the right side of my body has decreased considerably. My balance has been restored as I can not only take a shower but also stand on one leg and shave my legs. It is so good to be able to do the housework without wanting to “throw up”. I can also go for a walk of at least 30 minutes something I have not been able to do for a very long time. Three months ago I kept an appointment made seven months previously with a neurologist. He had read my doctor’s notes prior to seeing me. I will never forget the look of astonishment on his face. Here I was an able bodied person who had walked to the surgery. He said he had nothing further to offer me from the medical world. I was too well and I am still getting better. As an advert for a well-known shampoo says, “It won’t happen overnight, but it will happen”. I know it has worked for me and I’m grateful. Aileen Chapman I’ve been taking liquid transfer factors with Acai berries for approx. 7 weeks now, and have noticed a difference in my fatigue levels. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in June 2005; one of my major and ongoing symptoms is fatigue. Before discovering the advantages of liquid transfer factors with acai berries, I was becoming very tired during the early afternoon – to the point where I had to often have a lay down. This was very frustrating, and made everyday life rather boring etc. I was often in bed and asleep by 8pm, which was also very frustrating for my spouse and family. Since taking the liquid transfer factors with acai berries daily, I still get tired during the late afternoon, but not to the point of needing to lay down, and I’m finding that I can stay up until approx. 9pm during the evenings – and still be a functional partner and mum. This has not only helped my personal and family relationships, but has also given me back much of my selfesteem as a worthy member of the household. I’m not trying to say this is a miracle ‘cure’, but it has helped me with one of the most frustrating symptoms of my MS. Thanks to the liquid Transfer Factors with Acai berries, I now eel I can participate in many more everyday activities and be a valued member of the household and community again. I feel like I’ve gained back at least part of my life that this disabling medical condition has robbed me of.
