Alternative Medicine/Multiple Sclerosis

Question
The nerves in my legs do not conduct, hence I cannot walk.

Any remedies for this?

Answer
Hello Nancy,
Thanks for your question.  There are many natural therapies that may help with multiple sclerosis, but there's no single solution that will work for every person.  An effective treatment plan can be formulated after establishing care with an in-person assessment, then an individualized plan.  Most likely, this would include a combination of diet & lifestyle changes, herbal medicines or supplements, homeopathics, manual therapies, hydrotherapy, and counseling.  I would suggest you seek out this type of care from a naturopathic (www.naturopathic.org) or holistic (www.holistic.org) doctor if you'd like to see how natural therapies may help you and your health.  Good luck in this search.
