A large and ever-growing body of research shows that significant blood vessel abnormalities in multiple sclerosis patients play an important role in causing MS. The autoimmune theory of MS has been widely accepted but never proven. In fact, according to MS experts an auto-antigen has never been identified. Auto-antigens are markers on cells in the
In this video, Pam Bartha discusses how chronic malarial infections are diagnosed and treated. There are at least five types of plasmodium single celled parasites that can cause malaria in humans. They infect red blood cells (RBCs) and cause a highly inflammatory disease in the body. Some types cause life-threatening illness while others cause less
This post discusses compelling research and case studies that reveal how malaria drugs significantly help MS patients. Last week’s post reviewed evidence about the many similarities between MS and malaria. In 1917, Castellani wrote that he observed four cases of malaria that closely resembled disseminated sclerosis which is the same type of condition as
This post discusses how MS has been linked to malaria for over 100 years and why malaria may be one of the main infections that causes multiple sclerosis. This is part 4 of our MS and malaria series. A large and ever-growing body of research confirms that MS is an infectious disease caused by
There are insightful connections between the distribution of MS and malaria in many countries. It is also fascinating how MS patients have experienced symptom improvements when prescribed malaria drugs. This post discusses this forgotten research and how it may help in the treatment of MS. In Part 1 of this series, I reviewed a 2021
Most of us diagnosed with MS wouldn’t consider that we could have a chronic silent malarial infection because we haven’t travelled to a tropical country that has malaria. Nevertheless, over 100 years of compelling scientific evidence links malarial infections to MS. This research shows that for some and possibly many MS patients, a malarial infection
Is multiple sclerosis caused by a malaria-like parasite? A recent study found that the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) significantly slowed down the progression of disability in people with primary progressive MS (PPMS). This post will discuss: What protists are and how they infect us Highlights of this study Provide compelling evidence linking MS and
