What is MS or multiple sclerosis?
MS is an autoimmune disorder in which the nerve cells of the brain and spinal cord are broken down by macrophages. The breakdown begins with the destruction of the myelin surrounding the nerves. The fatty myelin acts as an insulator, much like the plastic around an electrical cable. Without myelin, the 'cable' becomes exposed and can then break. The result of this is that communication from the brain to other areas becomes more difficult. Controlling muscles therefore also becomes harder. There is still a great deal of uncertainty surrounding MS, and we do not yet know exactly why the immune system attacks the nerve cells.
Mercury poisoning can be a cause
It is not often found in the literature that mercury can be a cause of MS. Mercury can end up in certain compounds within the fatty myelin and trigger inflammation there. This can result in an immune system response, leading to the symptoms of MS. Review the explanation below; do you see any parallels between MS and mercury poisoning?
