Roundworms Discovered in the Spinal Fluid of MS Subjects

This post discusses the discovery of small roundworms in the spinal fluid of every multiple sclerosis subject tested, how these worms are passed from animals to humans and the symptoms they cause. It also shares a few current successes of Wellness Champions who are getting ready to treat or are treating parasites in their recovery from MS and other diseases.

It has been shown that a wide variety of nematode species can invade the central nervous system and be found in spinal fluid or in brain and spinal cord tissue.

The 1952 article entitled Nematodes, Nervous Disease and Neurotropic Virus Infection[i] revealed compelling evidence that specific worms that infect the central nervous systems (CNS) of domestic animals can also infect the CNS of humans. In it, the researchers state that studying animal diseases caused by parasites is often the starting point in identifying similar diseases in humans.

It has been shown that the larva of these small worms can cause epilepsy.

Setaria nematodes cause a neurological disease in animals that occurs as a seasonal outbreak in the summer and fall, which coincides with the season where biting insect are more prevalent.

These nematodes produce lesions in the central nervous system, which are actually the softening or loss of brain tissue. The researchers from this study stated that damage from these worms is “unmistakably diagnostic and is consistent with our concepts that the process is simply a mechanical dramatic effect of the wandering worm.”[ii] The damage caused by the worm causes the formation of lesions.

Mosquitoes carry these worms. The immature larval form of this worm (microfilaria) is taken up by the mosquito and is passed on to sheep, goats, horses and humans, where it migrates directly to the central nervous system.

Experts say that it is very difficult to identify these worms, but truth be told, they are not looking for them.

These worms are notorious wanderers. They infect the CNS of animals, produce a lesion and then move on and are found in the spinal fluid and not in the CNS tissue that they damage.

It may also be impossible to recognize parasites in the CNS of animals with a chronic history of paralysis because the parasites wander, integrate or calcify, or only parts of the parasite can be found.[iii]

Because the CNS of a sheep or goat is a big organ, it is difficult to find a small worm in the CNS if a lesion is not detected.

Cerebrospinal nematodiasis can be missed during both accurate clinical and pathological examination. Current testing is also not accurate.

The researchers reported a study in which the eyes of 46 American children and adolescents who suffered from endophthalmitis (inflammation on the inner linings of the eye) were examined. Every section of tissue showed some features of a lesion, but worms were not present in the original sections. When many sections were taken (2300 in one eye), worm larva was found in 24 of the eyes. Because the changes were so similar in all 46 children, a diagnosis of nematode endophthalmitis was made in all 46 cases.

There are at least 8 known filarial nematodes that cause disease in humans. These are divided into three groups according to the area of the body they occupy.

They are transmitted by mosquitoes, black flies and ticks and can infect the eyes (river blindness), lymphatics (elephantiasis), under the skin (rashes and pigmentation), intestines, blood vessels and the central nervous system.

Depending on the type of worm and where it lives in the body, it can cause rashes, arthritis, hyper or hypo pigmentation, abdominal pain, fatigue, and in animals, they can cause all the neurological symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases when located in the CNS.

In the CNS of domestic animals, these worms cause symptoms of extreme fatigue, tingling, numbness, balance issues, spasticity, weakness and paralysis.

Pathologist Dr. Alan MacDonald’s work is a very important discovery into the true cause of multiple sclerosis and other chronic diseases – especially neurological diseases. He discovered small nematode worms in the central nervous system of every multiple sclerosis subject tested.

He stated, “We have not found a case of MS that does not have worms in the cerebrospinal fluid!”

Dr. MacDonald believes that multiple sclerosis is caused by a parasitic infestation of the CNS and called this a neural larval migrans.

Nematodes had never been identified in the spinal fluid of animals or humans until 2016 by Dr. Alan MacDonald. Previously, researchers only looked for nematodes in the brain, but it is hard to find them there because once they have caused damage, they move on. Dr. MacDonald said it was easy to find them in the spinal fluid.

The worm migrates and creates a storm of injury in its wake, like the tale of a comet.

Microfilariae have approximately the same diameter as red blood cells.

Unfortunately today, microscopic examination (or making smears) as Dr. MacDonald did is not routine in any lab in any hospital or medical school in the world. His team first completed this work and they were rewarded for their curiosity.

It is believed that there are likely more than one type of worm that resides in the spine.

Myelin and nerve tissue are destroyed by these worms, and that’s exactly what happens in multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis has a migratory pattern in the brain. It flares up in one area and then calms down and then flares up in another area, and then calms down.

The worms migrate through the brain of MS patients and cause injury to the brain. This occurs in animals where the nematodes cause brain injury, myelin loss and paralysis.

Parasitic worms in the spinal fluid of domestic farm animals were discovered and have been studied for over 100 years, between 1880 – 1950s.

Researcher Innes stated in the 1950’s that the disease caused by these nematodes in the CNS of domestic animals served as a model for multiple sclerosis because these animals suffered from the same symptoms as MS patients – weakness, lack of coordination, paralysis, permanent neurological injuries and death.

These researchers also stress that it is very important to treat parasites in the brain cautiously to avoid a potential lethal Herxheimer reaction.

Once again, significant research demonstrates that MS is an infectious disease. It’s been known for over 100 years that these parasitic worms infect the central nervous system of animals and can also do so in humans. In animals, these worms cause lesions in the CNS and symptoms identical to multiple sclerosis. More recently, Dr. MacDonald identified many of these worms in every MS subject he tested.

Why is no one interested in furthering Dr. MacDonald’s research to either confirm  or disprove his findings? If it is relatively easy to find these worms in a spinal fluid, why is no one studying this?

Wellness Champion Successes

“I’m feeling so much better now. I am exercising. The headaches are so much better. Yesterday, when I was doing stretches, I noticed an improvement in my strength on the left side of my body.”

Student #2

“The Live Disease Free diet is very helpful as the neuropathy, headaches and fatigue have improved drastically!”

Student #3

“Following the Live Disease Free diet, I have had good symptom improvement as I am now able to eat soft foods again, but I’m still struggling with throat tightness and small spasms. It’s just painful at times and can cause some anxiety. But so much better than it was!!

My heart rate is definitely more level. Still pops up once in a while, but much better.

Overall, I’m much better though.

I actually physically feel some peace at times and considering I truly felt like I had tasted hell! It’s very wonderful to experience some peace at times. I’ve had for about 7 days, 6.5- 8 hours of sleep.”

Student #4

“I am in the middle of a treatment cycle and I’m noticing that I have been having faster recoveries after I get fatigued, especially after working.

I have more energy, faster recoveries and I’m also doing a lot less wall walking as well!”

Student #5

“My balance has definitely improved and I feel great, with lots of energy.

I’m following the Live Disease Free diet with perfection and have just been using a binder and enemas. I understand this time around how important the prep work is and that’s why I have not rushed into anything.”

Student #6

“I’m so excited! I realized last night that I’m not having leg spasms in the night anymore. My sleep is better, and also I haven’t had heart palpitations in quite a while now.

I’m sharing the program and what I’m learning with friends and family. This seems like the answer to just about every health problem that I hear others talk about.

Thank you for putting the Live Disease Free program together, and in such a thorough and easy step by step format.”

Student #7

“Improvements are strength in my hands and when standing up. I have a little less fatigue and less heat sensitivity. Or at least I seem to bounce back faster.”

Student #8

“My family agrees with me that I am walking a little better.  Each day is different but I am feeling more strength in my weak (left) leg. I had enough confidence to go up two steps to speak from the lectern at our church today!”
