New multiple sclerosis research may help predict the progression of MS based on the increased presence of a substance in the stool of MS patients. Doctors analyze stool to detect parasites and colorectal cancer. It is understood that the gut microbiome is abnormal in those with MS and other diseases and that this disruption can
After decades of research and millions of dollars to fund it, not much is changed in terms of how we diagnose and treat multiple sclerosis. We still don’t know what causes MS and there is no cure. It is generally speculated that in MS patients, the immune system attacks nerve tissue for some unknown reason.
In this week’s post, Pam Bartha discusses the findings of new study that suggests that injecting a specific type of stem cell into the brains of patients living with progressive multiple sclerosis is safe, well tolerated, and may protect the brain from further damage for at least one year. Is implanting stem cells into the

Anxiety and/or depression impact one’s quality of life in a profound way and are both very common in multiple sclerosis. Although there is still no standard treatment for depression and anxiety in MS patients, various medications are prescribed to try to manage these conditions. Interestingly, many studies have linked various parasites with depression and anxiety.
Not much has changed over the past 40 years with respect to the diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis. We are no closer to knowing the cause of MS and there is still no cure. This post reviews the history of MS diagnosis, explains the current criteria used to diagnose multiple sclerosis and why it
Are parasitic worms actually helpful for MS? Researchers have explored infecting MS patients with hookworms as a way of possibly regulating the immune system. Could worm therapy be a promising new treatment, or just another attempt to create new patentable immunosuppressive drugs for MS? This post will discuss worm therapy research and reveal how hookworms
Intestinal flukes are more common than we realize. They are large, flat parasitic worms that live in the small intestine and can cause digestive issues, anemia, toxemia, edema, allergic reactions, neurological symptoms and other symptoms of inflammation. This post discusses the symptoms of intestinal flukes, what they look like, how we become infected with
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
The ketogenic diet has gained a lot of attention in the multiple sclerosis community. To learn more about the Keto diet and MS watch my video, “Multiple Sclerosis and the Keto Diet. Will it help?” In this post, I discuss amazing results from researchers who studied a low-carb high-fat diet for multiple sclerosis patients.
