Dietary Treatment for Multiple Sclerosis
Treatment based on the assumption that dietary factors are the main cause of MS onset and progression. From their website: “The basic elements of a dietary model for MS are the escape of intact food proteins through a leaky gut and subsequent activation of the immune system… The immune system is activated against tissue in the central nervous system due to molecular similarities between the food proteins and self-proteins in the CNS… The keys to combating MS are thus halting the activation of the immune system and healing and strengthening various systems including the gut, the BBB and the immune system.”
