From the perspective of Paracelsus Biological Medicine, Multiple Sclerosis
is an illness with great hope for improvement. By treating MS patients
according to a set of individually tailored principles, PBM has had
excellent results: the majority of MS patients at Paracelsus not only
feel subjectively very well, they experience a lower incidence of symptoms,
and become measurably stronger. Although the exact causes of MS are
unknown, we have observed at the Paracelsus Klinik that this illness
can be stopped or even healed completely.
Paracelsus Biological Medicine MS Treatments
The PBM treatment for MS includes several steps and is individually
applied. The steps are listed here and described more fully below:
• Antioxidants, administered by infusion initially and orally
once the situation is stabilized
• Detoxification of heavy metals and organic toxins
• Nutritional consultation and dietary reorganization
• Holistic dental remediation
• Targeted administration of natural substances, vitamins, unsaturated
fatty acids, etc. for the reconstruction of nervous tissue
• Hapten therapy
• Additional measures such as deep infrared sauna (which provides
a strong detoxification of subcutaneous fatty tissue) and local pulsating
magnetic field therapy (which promotes cell regeneration and improves
cell membrane potential)
The Constant Renewal of Regenerative Forces
All living tissues, including human nerve sheaths, renew themselves
constantly. However, the nerve sheath renewal process is very slow,
and depends heavily on the quality of the regenerative fibers available
to form the sheath. The myelin sheaths destroyed in MS consist largely
of high-quality fats. To support the renewal of this tissue, we need
to provide our bodies with high-quality fats, vitamins, and amino acids.
In other words: to rebuild a house, start with high-quality materials.
Individual patients may also be treated with specific regenerating hormones
administered in natural form.
Discharge of Toxic Factors
Due to a variety of cultural and historical factors, most Americans
are constantly exposed to a wide range of chemicals: preservatives,
insecticides, and industrial solvents are all present in our environment
and our food. Some of these substances have fat-dissolving effects;
others, like insecticides, are very damaging to nervous tissue. The
PBM regime targets these substances for expulsion through algae therapy
(algae has a strong ability to bind to toxins). The liver’s function
of processing poisons is also supported through administration of amino
acids, trace elements, and homeopathic remedies.
Damaging influences can also come from within. Organic substances such
as free radicals, toxic bacteria, and parasites are capable of causing
local inflammation and subsequent nerve damage. The American diet is
full of roasted fats, linoleic acids, and hardened fats such as those
found in margarine, roasted peanuts, chips, etc. These fats can oxidize
in the body, become rancid, and wreak havoc. These are simply not healthy
materials for building myelin sheaths. MS patients at Paracelsus are
taught what diet creates good materials: high-quality vegetable fats,
raw vegetables, and sprouts, among other things. Patients also receive
anti-oxidative therapy (selenium, vitamin C, B6, B12, beta carotene,
and vitamin E) to great effect.
Dentistry is an important pillar of PBM, and nowhere is this more evident
than in the treatment of MS. Professor Boyd Haley of the University
of Kentucky proved that destroyed myelin sheaths of MS patients contained
toxins that were also present in their root canals. Decomposing poisons
such as thioathes, aldehydes, and scatoles can leech from teeth that
have received a root canals and inflict severe damage on nerves. Harmful
dental work must be carefully removed, and the toxic substances remaining
must be eliminated. This treatment is extremely important; it has greatly
improved the condition of many MS patients.
Discharge of Infectious Agents/Immune Support
Current research indicates that MS is probably not an infectious or
viral illness. It’s common, however, to find that viral influences
can worsen the disease. A remarkable number of MS patients are seen
with neurotropic and lymphotropic viruses in addition to their MS. Cytomegaly,
herpes simplex, zoster, hepatitis B are also frequently present. PBM
decreases this viral load with nosodes, ascending diluted concentrations
of antibodies that energize the immune system. This treatment is not
dissimilar to the therapeutic use of interferon in conventional medicine.
We find, however, that interferon is often administered at too high
a dose, creating an excess of side effects and questionable results.
If the patient wishes to continue taking interferon, PBM has treatment
protocols that can be implemented in tandem.
New research also postulates that MS may be partially caused by an autoimmune
response to bacteria that have been altered by antibiotic use. These
amoeba-like bacteria do not have cell walls, making it easy for them
to penetrate tissue undetected by the immune system. A new immunological
therapy, Hapten immune therapy, uses partial antigens to mark these
cell wall-free forms, and make them perceptible to the immune system.
