Don't know if this is the right place to post this, is not about knee, but I have a friend with MS and need to know...
Natural Treatments for MS vary, and each approach has great benefits. Using any alternative or complimentary approach should involve guidance from your physician. The following approaches may help:
Yoga
Yoga for multiple sclerosis is a very promising approach that offers the following benefits:
Improve mood
Lessen fatigue
Improved cognitive functioning
While clinical studies support the claim that yoga can improve mood and lessen fatigue, no studies have found improvements in cognitive functioning in clinical trials.
Reflexology
Reflexology for MS can help by:
Improve muscle strength
Lessen spasms
Lessen intensity of paresthesias
Reduce urinary problems
Reduce sensory problems
Reflexology has been found to be helpful in these realms in clinical studies.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is believed to help reduce all of the symptoms of MS effectively, as it is thought to prevent and treat the condition by some. Some clinical trials have found that vitamin D may have a preventative effect on the development of MS.
Does anyone know more?
PS:
An amazing invention I have seen is the so called berkelbike, a revolutionary, award winning tricycle which can be propelled by both your arms and legs. The BerkelBike makes cycling possible despite MS, Polio, Spinal Cord Injury or Stroke.
