People diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a much higher risk of developing multiple sclerosis. This evidence is growing and profound and is yet more proof that MS is an infectious disease caused by a parasitic infestation.
At least 70% of people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis complain of digestive and/or bowel issues including:
- Gas pains and abdominal cramps
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Alternating diarrhea and constipation
- Spastic colon
- Irritable bowel syndrome
- Inflammatory bowel disease including ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease
- Incontinence.
Research has shown that at least 20% of people with MS have symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, which is more than double the rate of IBS in the general population. [i]
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are all chronic inflammatory diseases. Inflammation occurs when there is physical injury to the body from an accident or when the immune system is battling disease-causing parasites or the toxins they produce.
IBD includes both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn’s disease (CD). The prevalence of both UC and CD have been on the rise and these diseases affect both males and females.
The link between MS and IBD dates back to the early 1980s, when an increased incidence of MS was discovered in women in the UK who underwent surgery to remove their entire colon due to ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease.
The 2017 study, Multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis [ii], researchers reported that both IBD and MS patients appeared to have a fifty-percent increased risk of MS or IBD comorbidity, respectively, with no differences between patients with CD or UC.
The 2019 study entitled Bowel symptoms predate the diagnosis among many patients with multiple sclerosis: A 14-year cohort study [iii] concluded that almost a third of MS patients with bowel symptoms had bowel symptoms before their first MS attack.
A 2023 study entitled, Multiple sclerosis and ulcerative colitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis [iv], was conducted to investigate the association between ulcerative colitis and MS.
Their findings suggested that people diagnosed with ulcerative colitis had an increased the risk of developing MS by more than 50%, whereas an MS diagnosis did not increase the risk of an ulcerative colitis diagnosis in the future.
The 2024 German study entitled, Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with an increase in the incidence of multiple sclerosis: a retrospective cohort study of 24,934 patients [v] reported that:
When following up with participants in the study 10 years later, the incidence of MS was significantly higher among Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis patients than in controls who did not suffer from IBD.
Both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis patients had a significantly higher risk of being diagnosed with MS after their IBD diagnosis.
The researchers also found that the association between both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and MS was more pronounced among male patients than in female MS patients and concluded that their analysis suggested a remarkable association between IBD and a later MS diagnosis.
Common symptoms caused by parasites in the digestive tract:
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Nausea or vomiting
- Gas or bloating
- Dysentery (loose stools containing blood and mucus)
- Rash or itching around the rectum or vulva
- Stomach pain or tenderness
- Feeling tired
- Weight loss.
Parasites can cause virtually any symptom in the body. They are present in all countries. The most common symptoms of parasites in the G.I. tract are identical to symptoms of ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease and irritable bowel syndrome. The fact that MS patients have a significantly higher incidence of bowel issues and bowel disease should be of great interest to MS researchers. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. As evidence is growing there is no real interest in trying to understand why MS patients have a significantly higher risk of bowel disease and what is causing this. There is no financial incentive to treat the parasites that cause MS.
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.
