The Infections that Cause Multiple Sclerosis

For decades, multiple sclerosis (MS) has been classified as an autoimmune disease with no known cause or cure. Patients are often told that their immune system is mysteriously attacking their own nerve cells, leading to progressive neurological decline and disability.

But what if the true cause of MS has been overlooked? What if MS is not an autoimmune disease at all, but rather an infectious disease caused by parasites and other microbes?

Groundbreaking research, along with real-world patient recovery stories, strongly suggests that parasitic infections are the primary culprits behind MS and many other chronic diseases.

Despite decades of scientific evidence supporting this, the medical system has largely ignored the infectious theory of MS because treating infections is far less profitable than long-term symptom management with expensive maintenance drugs.

It’s time for change. This article will summarize key scientific findings, explain why this research has been suppressed and provide a clear strategy for recovering from MS by treating its root cause: infections.

 

The Forgotten Science: MS as an Infectious Disease

Historically, researchers identified multiple pathogens linked to MS, including:

Borrelia (Spirochete Bacteria – Lyme Disease)

• Borrelia is a corkscrew-shaped bacteria that causes Lyme disease and belongs to the same bacterial family as syphilis.
• Neurosyphilis, caused by a similar type of bacteria, results in severe neurological symptoms, including headaches, seizures, muscle weakness, tremors, cognitive dysfunction, vision loss and paralysis—symptoms strikingly similar to MS.
• Between 1911 and the 1950s, many scientists believed MS was caused by a spirochete bacterium due to its similarity to other spirochetal diseases.
• Research published in prestigious journals like The Lancet documented findings of spirochetes in MS patients’ spinal fluid and brain tissue:
  • 1911: Spirochetes found in MS patients.
  • 1917: Spirochetes proposed as the cause of MS.
  • 1922: Spirochetes identified in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of MS patients.
  • 1952: Acute plaques in MS were linked to spirochetal infections.
  • 1957: A bacteriologist successfully cultured a spirochete from MS patients’ spinal fluid and suggested early treatment could improve the disease.

MS and Lyme Disease: What the MS Society Says

The National MS Society has acknowledged the striking similarities between MS and Lyme disease. Their own website previously included the following:

• Lyme disease can cause neurological symptoms nearly identical to MS, including weakness, blurred vision due to optic neuritis, sensations like itching, burning, stabbing pains and cognitive dysfunction.
• Both MS and Lyme disease can present with a relapsing-remitting course, meaning patients experience flare-ups followed by periods of improvement.
• MRI scans and spinal fluid tests often show similar results in both MS and Lyme disease patients, making it difficult to differentiate between the two conditions.

Despite these similarities, the MS Society continues to insist that MS and Lyme disease are distinct conditions. Their justification? They claim that antibiotics help Lyme disease patients early on but not MS patients. However, this contradicts studies they have funded, which demonstrate that antibiotics administered early in MS can significantly halt disease progression.

This discrepancy raises serious concerns. Why are these findings being ignored? Why is there resistance to investigating the role of infections in MS? If antibiotics can help some MS patients, could it be that they are fighting an underlying bacterial infection like Borrelia?

Filarial Worms, Tapeworm Larvae and Juvenile Tapeworms in the Central Nervous System of MS 

• Pathologist Dr. Alan MacDonald found filarial worms and tapeworm larvae in the spinal fluid of 100% of MS patients studied.
• He also discovered developing juvenile tapeworms in 2 out of 10 MS subjects tested.
• Veterinarians have known for over a century that roundworms in the central nervous system cause MS-like symptoms in farm animals.

• The presence of these parasites in MS patients’ spinal fluid strongly supports the idea that MS is an infectious disease.
• Additionally, filarial worms are often co-infected with Borrelia, meaning they carry Lyme disease bacteria within them, making treatment even more complex.

Malaria/Babesia-Type Protists in MS

• Malaria causes a demyelinating disease in the central nervous system, similar to MS.
• Over 75 scientific papers dating back to the 1880s documented malaria-like organisms in MS patients.
• In 1899, Mannaberg proposed that MS was caused by a malaria-type infection.
• During the 1920s-1930s, MS patients treated with antimalarial drugs saw significant symptom improvement.
• Dr. Fry of Fry Laboratories discovered a new type of protozoan in MS patients, further supporting the infectious disease theory.
• A 2021 study found that Hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, helped patients with Primary Progressive MS (PPMS).

Fungal Overgrowth and Biofilms

• Candida and Aspergillus fungi are commonly found in MS patients and produce over 70 different toxins.
• Fungal biofilms protect microbes from the immune system and medications, making them difficult to eradicate.
• The overuse of antibiotics kills beneficial microbes, allowing disease-causing fungi and parasites to thrive.

These infections produce neurotoxins, enzymes, ethanol, organic acids and other toxins that inflame nerve tissue and mimic MS symptoms. The scientific evidence is overwhelming—MS is not a random immune system malfunction but a response to chronic infections.

 

Why Is This Research Ignored?

The primary reason this research has not been pursued is simple: profitability. The pharmaceutical industry benefits immensely from long-term, high-cost treatments that manage symptoms rather than curing disease. MS drugs, which suppress the immune system, generate billions of dollars annually, but they do not address the root cause of the disease. If MS were recognized as an infectious disease, treatment would involve affordable antiparasitic and antimicrobial therapies, reducing the need for lifelong drug dependency.

Despite the lack of industry support, a growing number of independent researchers and practitioners are rediscovering the infectious connection to MS. Patients who pursue targeted antimicrobial treatments report profound symptom improvement and, in many cases, full recovery.

 

The Path to True Recovery: The Live Disease Free Plan

If MS is an infectious disease, then the solution is clear: treat the infections, and recovery is possible. The Live Disease Free strategy has helped thousands of people regain their health by reducing their parasitic load, supporting their immune system and building a healthy lifestyle. The approach consists of four key steps:

1. Reduce the Food Supply for Parasites

• Follow the Live Disease Free  low-carb, anti-inflammatory diet to starve harmful microbes and support beneficial gut flora.
• Eliminate sugar, refined carbs, and processed foods that fuel parasite growth.

2. Support the Body’s Detox Pathways and Immune Function

• Ensure proper digestion, liver function and bowel movements to remove toxins.
• Optimize sleep, reduce stress and clean up environmental toxins like mold and heavy metals.

3. Targeted Antimicrobial Treatments

• Use a combination of antiparasitic, antifungal and antibacterial therapies tailored to the specific infections present.
• Work in treatment cycles to eliminate different parasite stages (eggs, larvae, adults).
• Use energy testing (applied kinesiology, AMA, VEGA, EAV, or muscle testing) to identify the most effective treatments.

4. Maintain Long-Term Health & Prevent Reinfection

• Periodic parasite cleansing to prevent reinfestation.
• Support a strong microbiome with probiotics and fermented foods.
• Stay vigilant about exposure to new infections (e.g., contaminated water, soil, undercooked meat).
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Take Action: Be Part of the Change

The medical system will not change unless we demand it. Here’s how you can take action:

• Educate yourself and others: Share this blog with MS patients, practitioners and loved ones.
• Challenge the status quo: Bring this research to functional medicine doctors, chiropractors and open-minded practitioners.
• Begin your recovery journey: Watch the Live Disease Free Masterclass and start implementing the recovery plan.

It’s time to break free from the outdated autoimmune theory and embrace the truth: MS is an infectious disease, and there is a proven path to recovery.

 

There are real solutions to recover from parasites today!

To restore health, we must focus on treating the cause of inflammation, which are parasites. First, identify the enemy (parasites), then support the body and treat the parasites while following a holistic approach. When parasitic infections are treated effectively, we can overcome inflammation or disease.
