Vitamin D deficiency, calcium and phosphorus deficiency, according to Dr. Goldberg, are the true causes of multiple sclerosis.
Residents of the Earth's tropical zone who receive sufficient sunlight do not suffer from multiple sclerosis. As you know, ultraviolet rays synthesize vitamin D (calciferol) on human skin. In the process of evolution, man is forced to move north, leaving places rich in sunlight and adapting to new lands. It was the lack of sunlight that contributed to the development of neurotic diseases, including multiple sclerosis.
It is necessary to supply the body with calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin D
To improve health and prevent many diseases, you need to know that, in addition to vitamin D, the body needs microelements such as calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, which are also directly related to the prevention and treatment of multiple sclerosis. When breastfeeding, all these microelements are found in breast milk and are passed on to the baby.
In adolescence (from 12 to 15 years), parents need to make sure that these microelements are included in the child’s diet.
During this period of life, the spinal cord reaches full maturity and is fully formed. At this time, it is especially necessary to supply the body with calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and vitamin D, otherwise the preconditions for multiple sclerosis may arise. PROFESSIONALS TRUST US
In addition, the bones in the body also age over the years. For some they are strong and strong, while for others they are riddled and fragile. And it doesn't always depend on age. Osteoporosis is one of the most common bone diseases, especially in older women. It occurs 4 times more often in women than in men. Osteoporosis often causes curvature of the spine, pain, weight loss, and fractures even with minor bruises. And the cause of this insidious disease is the loss of calcium - an imperceptible process, not fleeting, but very dangerous in its consequences.
HOW TO AVOID ILLNESS?
An experiment conducted by Dr. Albanese with 12 women (age 79-89 years) suffering from osteoporosis showed that the foods they consumed in their diet contained 450 mg of calcium daily, although the norm is at least 650 mg. The doctor increased the norm to 750 mg of calcium and 375 mg of vitamin D, which improves the absorption of calcium by the body. The control group did not receive additional medications. After 3 years, it turned out that there were no side effects, and the level of calcium in the blood and urine did not exceed the norm.
Vitamin D
What vitamins should you take if you are sick?
Research has found that there is a direct link between low levels of fat-soluble vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) in the body and the development of multiple sclerosis.
Vitamin D3 stimulates the immune system and rids the brain of protein
contributing to the progression of the pathology. The substance prevents large-scale damage to nervous tissue and reduces the number of relapses of multiple sclerosis, therefore it must be supplied to the body in sufficient quantities.
How to get a?
Natural products, preparations
The leader in cholecalciferol content is fish oil. Cod liver in the form of canned food, Atlantic fatty herring, sprats, chum salmon and mackerel are rich in vitamin D. You can obtain the substance by consuming egg yolk, natural butter, sour cream, cream, cow's milk and beef liver.
Medications that can be prescribed include:
- "Oxidevit"
in the form of capsules or drops. - “Calcium-D3 Nycomed”
– chewable tablets with vitamin D and calcium. - “Alpha D3-Teva”
is a solution of calciferol in oil, produced in the form of capsules. - “Calcemin”
is a tableted dietary supplement that contains the optimal amount of calcium, cholecalciferol, zinc, manganese, and copper. - “Van-Alpha”
- contains a synthetic analogue of vitamin D, alfacalcidol.
Calciferols are actively produced in the body under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, so regular exposure to the sun will saturate the body with vitamin D.
Unexpected effect
"Osteomed"
An unexpected effect was a decrease in blood cholesterol levels. This means that these women are not at risk of heart attack and sclerosis. According to the scientist, for older people the minimum calcium intake is 1000 mg per day, in addition to what a person receives from diet. But over the years, calcium is less absorbed by the body, so the presence of vitamin D is necessary.
All these facts were taken into account in the manufacture of the Osteomed and Osteomed Forte preparations, which contain calcium citrate (an organic salt that is absorbed by the body better than other calcium salts) and drone brood homogenate, a natural product rich in vitamin D.
Mechanism of action
As mentioned above, multiple sclerosis and vitamin D deficiency have a clear cause-and-effect relationship. There are several mechanisms of action of cholecalciferol in MS:
- Increased number of regulatory T cells and decreased concentration of pro-inflammatory support cells such as Th1 and Th17.
- Influences the concentration of neurotrophins, which are used as neurotransmitters in the nervous system and promote differentiation as well as survival of neurons.
- Increased expression of MOG, a protein involved in the formation of myelin sheaths.

Multiple sclerosis
Symptoms
Symptoms of the disease depend on the area of damage to the patient’s nervous system. In the early stages, patients may experience episodes of dizziness, emotional instability (mood swings and depression), visual disturbances (blurred or double vision), tingling and/or numbness, especially in the hands and feet, poor balance and/or coordination, muscle stiffness, and possible nausea, vomiting, slurred speech, tremors, causeless weakness and/or feeling tired, difficulty breathing, in men - impotence. As the disease progresses, difficulty walking and the development of an unsteady gait may occur.
When the disease reaches a certain stage, movements may become more spastic, paralysis and difficulty breathing may appear. Sometimes there are disturbances in bowel and bladder functions. Severe weakness is one of the symptoms that significantly disturbs the patient's condition.
The course of the disease is characterized by periods of exacerbations, followed by periods of significant reduction or even disappearance of symptoms. The rate of progression of multiple sclerosis varies. A more benign course is possible, in which mild periods of exacerbations last no more than 10 days; in an unfavorable course, rapid and complete loss of ability to work occurs.
The most common is the slow progression of the disease with periods of remission, while periods of exacerbation are often characterized by progressive symptoms and worsening severity.
The cause of multiple sclerosis remains unknown. It is now widely believed that it is an autoimmune disease in which white blood cells perceive the myelin sheath of nerves as a foreign substance. Stress and malnutrition, accompanied by poor absorption of nutrients, often precede this disease.
Some experts believe there is an as-yet-unidentified virus that is important in the development of multiple sclerosis. Hereditary predisposition also plays a role.
Some researchers believe that food allergies, especially to dairy and gluten, are a risk factor for developing multiple sclerosis.
Chronic poisoning from pesticides, industrial chemicals, and heavy metals also plays a role in the development of multiple sclerosis. Environmental toxins can disrupt the body's metabolic pathways, causing damage to the myelin sheath that protects the nerves.
It is known that toxins produced by bacteria and fungi can cause symptoms similar to those of multiple sclerosis.
Many experts believe that mercury poisoning in many cases precedes the development of multiple sclerosis. Mercury has been shown to bind to the DNA of cell membranes, causing disruption of cell structure and function. Mercury, which is found in dental amalgam, is known to cause symptoms indistinguishable from those of multiple sclerosis in some people. Moreover, mercury levels in people with multiple sclerosis have been found to be 7 times higher than in healthy people. Multiple sclerosis usually affects people between 25 and 40 years of age. Women are more likely to be affected by this disease than men. Multiple sclerosis is rarely found in children and people over 60 years of age. The magnetic resonance method can be used for diagnosis. However, there is no single diagnostic test for this disease, and the diagnosis can be made based on an analysis of all the patient's symptoms.
It is still unknown how to treat multiple sclerosis. The following biologically active food supplements, vitamins, and minerals should apparently be taken as part of complex therapy for this disease.
Biologically active food additives and their components
- Coenzyme Q10
is necessary for improving blood circulation and tissue oxygenation. - Omega-3
is essential for controlling symptoms of the disease, and deficiency is common in patients with multiple sclerosis. - Sulfur
- protects the body from exposure to toxic substances, or
Garlic
- is a source of sulfur. - Vitamin B complex
- improves the functions of the immune system and maintains the normal state of the nervous system, an increased amount of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) - promotes the production of red blood cells, improves the function of the nervous system and immunity, with a deficiency in predisposed patients, the development of multiple sclerosis is possible, vitamin B12 - helps increase cell lifespan, prevents damage to nerve cells by protecting myelin sheaths; choline and inosotol - have a stimulating effect on the central nervous system and protect the myelin sheaths of nerves from damage. - Probiotics
help neutralize hazardous substances, increase the absorption of nutrients, and improve digestion. - Calcium
- deficiency may increase susceptibility to developing multiple sclerosis; magnesium - necessary for the absorption of calcium and to improve coordination of movements. - Grape seed extract
is a strong antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties. - Potassium
- essential for normal muscle function. - Selenium
is a strong antioxidant and has an immunostimulating effect. - Vitamin A and natural beta-carotene
are important antioxidants that prevent the damaging effects of free radicals. - Vitamin C
- increases the production of interferon in the body, which has antiviral properties; has antioxidant properties and stimulates the immune system. - Vitamin D
- improves calcium absorption. - Vitamin E
is important for blood circulation, destroys free radicals and has a protective effect on the nervous system. - Alfalfa
- helps prevent nausea and vomiting. - Lecithin
- protects cells, essential for normal brain function. - Manganese
is an important mineral and is often deficient in multiple sclerosis. - Multimineral complex
- essential for all enzyme systems in the body and for maintaining vitamin production. - Phosphorus
is necessary for energy transformation processes in cells.
Medicinal plants
- Alfalfa is a rich source of vitamin K.
- Horsetail, dandelion, echinacea, goldenseal, St. John's wort, Po d'Arco, red clover, sarsaparilla and yarrow have a detoxifying effect.
- Lobelia, skullcap, valerian root relax the nervous system. Taken before bed, these herbs help prevent insomnia.
Recommendations
Eat vegetables, fruits, grains, herbs grown naturally, without chemicals or additives, and cold-pressed vegetable oils. For this disease, a vegetarian diet is preferable. Eat plenty of raw sprouts and alfalfa, plus foods containing lactic acid. Green drinks that contain a lot of chlorophyll are beneficial. Eat dark leafy grasses, they are a rich source of vitamin K. Drink at least 8 glasses of quality water daily to prevent toxic buildup in your muscles.
Do not consume alcohol, chocolate, barley, dairy products, fried foods, foods stored for a long time (seasonal preparations), refined foods, rye, spices, sugar, salt, pepper, tobacco, canned or frozen foods.
Take fiber supplements. Fiber is an important food that helps prevent constipation. Never consume saturated fats or commercially prepared butter; oils that have already been cooked or oils that have been stored at room temperature.
Avoid stress and anxiety. Exacerbations of multiple sclerosis are often associated with trauma or periods of emotional stress.
Avoid exposing your body to high temperatures, including hot baths, showers, sunbathing, hot climates, and do not overheat while working or exercising. Avoid physical or emotional exhaustion and viral infections. All of the above can play the role of a trigger for the development of exacerbation or worsening of symptoms of the disease.
Get a massage, do gymnastics regularly, and strive to maintain mental activity. This provides valuable support for muscle function and promotes symptom remission. However, physical exercise, which increases body temperature, can negatively affect the course of the disease. The most favorable is swimming. Stretching exercises help prevent muscle contractures.
When an exacerbation begins, complete bed rest for at least 2 days is recommended; for mild symptoms, this may stop further deterioration.
What doses of cholecalciferol are needed to achieve remission?
The importance of cholecalciferol in the prevention of MS is currently undeniable. An adequate supply of cholecalciferol is an important measure to prevent MS, especially during pregnancy, childhood and adolescence. Therefore, pregnant women need to constantly drink dietary supplements containing cholecalciferol.
Current evidence suggests that it is necessary to take sufficiently high doses of cholecalciferol in MS to achieve complete remission. Recent studies have shown that dosages starting at 15,000 IU per day can help achieve complete remission. However, findings from the Coimbra Protocol suggest that much higher doses should be used.
