Multipla skleroza, proteina, masti, i progesterona

by Raymond Treset dr.sc.

Mi smo uvijek izloženi antigenih tereta. Važno pitanje ima veze s naše sposobnosti da ograniči upalni odgovor na ta opterećenja.

U MS [multiple skleroze], jasno je da upalni proces sam po sebi je destruktivan, a da estrogen je glavni čimbenik predisposing. Nezasićenih masnih kiselina i dijetalna neravnoteža aminokiselina međusobno blisko surađivati ​​s hyperestrogenism i hipotireoza za proizvodnju autoimune degenerativnih bolesti.

Smanjenje od medijatora upale je bolje nego dogradnje jednog protivupalno sredstvo, kao što su kortizol. Iako imunosupresivni lijekovi, uključujući i "esencijalnih masnih kiselina", ne ublažavaju upalne simptome privremeno, vjerojatno pridonijeti temeljne patologije.

Osobe s MS kronično povećanu produkciju kortizola. To stvara izobličenje proteina asimilacije, nalik prehrambene Nedostatak proteina. Pretjerano serotonina i estrogena uzrokuje relativno nekontrolirano proizvodnju kortizola. Začarani krug upalnih medijatora i amino kiselina može dovesti do disbalansa.

Depresija, lupus, migrene, menopauza, dijabetes, starenje i imaju nekoliko važnih metaboličke zajedničke značajke s MS-om.

Popularni terapije su nelogično, te su vjerojatno da će izazvati progresiju bolesti.

Visoka kvaliteta proteina, štitnjače, pregnenolone i progesteron imaju tendenciju da se ispraviti temeljna patologija. To su antiflogistični, ali oni nisu imunosupresivna ili catabolic.

Visoke nadmorske visine i sunčane klime su povezani s niskom incidencijom od MS-a.

==============================================

Multipla skleroza (MS), kao i drugih autoimunih bolesti, pogađa žene češće od muškaraca (oko 2 do 1), ima svoj početak tijekom reproduktivnih godina (osobito nakon 30. godine života, kada estrogena je vrlo visoka), često pogoršana premenstrually , a ponekad se ublažiti trudnoće (Drew i Chavez, 2000), kada progesteron je vrlo visoka. Žene s visokim udjelom estrogena do progesterona je utvrđeno da ima najviše aktivnih moždanih lezija (Bansil, et al., 1999). Većina medijatora upale koje su uključene u MS-mastocita i dušičnog oksida (NO), serotonin, prolaktina, lipidne peroksidacije, slobodne masne kiseline, prostaglandini i isoprostanes i različitih citokina (IL, TNF)-usko povezana s estrogena akcije, i na životinjama, autoimune bolesti mogu biti dovedeni na koju liječenja estrogena i Ahmed Talal).

Jaka povezanost s MS estrogena je dovelo do nelogično, ali popularan i dobro objavljen liječnički zaključak da je zaštitni estrogena protiv MS, a neki su tvrdili da estrogen ima povoljan terapijski učinak. Ova neobična način razmišljanja ima svoj ekvivalent u ideji da, budući da su žene mnogo češće od muškaraca da se razvije Alzheimerova bolest, estrogen je zaštitno protiv njega, ili da, budući da žene imaju više krhke kosti nego muškarci i njihov progresivni gubitak kosti se događa u vrijeme njihove najveće izloženosti estrogena, estrogen sprečava osteoporozu.

U tom medicinskom okruženju, u neposrednoj blizini povezanosti između estrogena i degenerativnih bolesti su priznali, ali su dati značenje protivno zdravom razumu rekavši da udruga događa jer nema dovoljno estrogena. Štednjak vas pali, jer to nije dovoljno vruće.

Kao što je Dave Barry će reći, Ja sam ne čineći ovaj gore. Nedavno je objavljen i članci su sugerirali da estrogen štiti mozak (čak i protiv moždanog udara!) Jer povećava serotonin i NO [dušikov oksid]. Postoji nešto što se gotovo estetski ugodan kada toliko velike pogreške koncentrirana u jednom članku. Dušikov oksid i serotonin su oba neurotropni (Josip, et al, 1991;. Skaper, et al, 1996;. Parkinson, et al, 1997;. Santiago, et al, 1998;.. Barger, et al, 2000), kao rezultat suzbijanju mitohondrijske disanja. NO igra važnu ulogu u lipidne peroksidacije i demyelination. To je zanimljivo vidjeti serotonina i NO otvoreno povezan s estrogenom, čiji je mitohondrijski toksičnost je pažljivo skriven od javnog pogleda.

Postoji nekoliko teorija o uzroku MS, stare teorije o genima i virusa, i novije teorije o bakterija, nedostataka vitamina, ulja nedostataka, otrove, i reakcije na cijepljenja (posebno za hepatitis B i gripa). Samo teorija da je napušten je 19. stoljeća, psihijatrijska teorija o "histerične paralize", iako se povremeno netko još uvijek ne govorimo o emocionalnim uzrocima multiple skleroze, termin "ženska histerija" je evoluirala u "pretvorbe poremećaja."

Svaki od glavnih teorija ima nekoliko činjenica koje se čini da ga podržavaju, ali zanemaruje na račun za mnogim drugim činjenicama. Svi se slažu da je imunološki sustav je uključen u MS na neki način, ali to je stvarno gdje je problem počinje, jer je ideja da upala je sastavni dio imuniteta. Ako je "upala je potrebno i dobro", onda to postaje problem odrediti točno gdje je granica između odgovarajuće reakcije i degenerativnih procesa. Edem, smanjenje stanično disanje, gubitak normalne funkcije, fibroza u različitim stupnjevima, svaka komponenta upale se može vidjeti u dobrom svjetlu, kao dio "obrambeni imunološki reakcije." Kada ozljede tkiva dovodi do popraviti, to "must" se vidi kao koristan, čak i ako to dovodi do stvaranja ožiljka na mjestu funkcionalnog tkiva, jer je usporedba između zamišljenom najgori mogući ishod i nesavršenog oporavak, a ne u usporedbi upalni proces s mogućnošću da potencijalno štetnih agenta može imati učinili nikakvu štetu na sve.

Najjednostavniji ilustracija kako upala odnosi organizmu resursa je eksperiment u kojem je razina glukoze u krvi različiti, a životinja je izložena kemikalija koje različita od blago iritantan potencijalno smrtonosna. Kada životinja ima vrlo nisku razinu šećera u krvi, najblaže nadražujuće može biti smrtonosna, ali kada je razina glukoze u krvi je zadržao vrlo visok, čak i smrtonosna antigeni su samo blago iritantan. Različite koncentracije natrija u krvi je imao slični, ali slabiji, učinci.

Postoji tendencija da se vidi upala ne samo kao normalnog dijela imuniteta, ali da ga vidim kao razmjerno naravi antigena, osim kada je imunološki sustav je pripremljena za njega prethodnog kontakta, u kojem slučaju organizam će ili ne reagirati na sve (jer je postao imun), ili će reagirati puno žešći nego što je na prvom izlaganja, jer je postala alergična. No, u stvarnosti, samo koncentracija glukoze i natrija u krvi (i štitnjače, te mnoge druge tvari koje se ne smatraju dio imunološkog sustava) može napraviti ogroman razlika u stupnju "imunološke reakcije" .

U izrazito osjetljivom stanju u produkciji hipoglikemija, nekoliko stvari se dogoditi da pridonose neprikladna pretjerane upalne reakcije.

Adrenalin raste u hipoglikemija, a ako ne uspije adrenalina pretvoriti glikogena u glukozu, ona će osigurati alternativni goriva oslobađanja slobodnih masnih kiselina iz masnih stanica.

Ako su oslobođene masne kiseline su nezasićene, oni će uzrokovati da se luči serotonin, serotonin i kako i nezasićene masne kiseline će potisnuti mitohondrijsku disanje, pogoršava se hipoglikemija. Oni će potaknuti oslobađanje citokina, aktivacija raznih imunološke i upalne procese, a oni će izazvati krvne žile da postane curi, stvaranje edema i pokretanje prve faze fibroze. I adrenalin i serotonin će potaknuti oslobađanje kortizola, koji mobilizira aminokiseline iz tkiva kao što su velike skeletnih mišića. Ti mišići sadrže veliku količinu cisteina i triptofana, koji je, među ostalim efektima, potiskuju štitnjače. Povećana triptofan, osobito u prisutnosti slobodnih masnih kiselina, je vjerojatno da će se pretvoriti u dodatnih serotonina, jer oslobađanje masnih kiselina triptofan od albumina, povećavajući svoj ulazak u mozak. Slobodne masne kiseline i povećanog metabolizma serotonina smanjuje učinkovitost (što dovodi do inzulinske rezistencije, na primjer) i promicati upalne stanje.

Masnoće u krvi potok imati jednostavan pristup do mozga, a nezasićene slobodne masne kiseline proizvode edem mozga (Chan, et al., 1983, 1988). Kad edem mozga uzrokovana vaskularnom propuštanja, proteini koji se obično isključene može ući. Stimulirana, uzbuđeni i umoran mozak razmjena glutamin za triptofan, ubrzavajući svoj dimnjak iz krvi.

Kada se tkivo je ozlijeđen ili pod stresom, antitijela se stvaraju kao odgovor na promijenjenim dijelovima tog tkiva. Stoga bismo mogli nazvati modricu ili istegnuće autoimune bolesti, ali ne postoje komercijalni testovi za modricama-trkačku antitijela. Dostupnost testovima specifičnih protutijela čini se da je ključni čimbenik u klasificiranja stanja kao autoimuna, kao u "autoimuni tireoiditis." Nažalost, ovakav način koristeći jezik smjestio se u kulturi koja je puna nerealnih ideja kauzalnosti, i tisuće ljudi grade svoje karijere u potrazi za "mutiranih gena koji su odgovorni za bolesti", a za lijekovima koji će ispraviti nedostatak.

Rano u proučavanje imunologije, fokus je bio na antitijela. Čak i ranije, upala je koncipiran u smislu "humors" i drugih prescientific ideja. Čim multiple skleroze / histerična paralizu bila klasificirana kao autoimuna bolest, primitivne ideje o prirodi imunološkog sustava, u interakciji s primitivnim idejama o prirodi mozga i strukture stanica, stopljen u različitim teorijama o tome što je bolest je.

Umjesto da vidim imunološki oštećenja živaca kao uzrok svih drugih obilježja multiple skleroze, mislim da je važno da pogledate neke od općih značajki stanja, kao konteksta u kojem se interpretiraju događaje u živce.

Poznato je za dugo vremena da je incidencija MS nastoji povećati s udaljenosti od ekvatora. Incidencija je niska u sunčanim suhim klimama, a na velikim visinama. Dva jasne prehrambene utjecaji su pronađeni: jesti svinjetinu i konjetina.

Osobe s MS-om ne regulirati tjelesnu temperaturu vrlo dobro. Njihov nerve conduction je spor, a normalni ljudi, kondukcija je brži na višim temperaturama, ali kod ljudi s multiplom sklerozom vodljivost je sporiji na normalnoj temperaturi od 98,6 stupnjeva F nego na nižim temperaturama. Subnormala temperatura je također povezan s dobi, te s valunga menopauze.

Brain metabolizam glukoze je vrlo niska u multiple skleroze, au svojim opažanjima, opće metabolički stopa je ispod normalnog. Međutim, neki ljudi razlog da hypometabolism je uzrokovana lezija, a ne obratno.

Životinje kojima nedostaju nezasićene masne kiseline imaju veći metabolizma i sposobnost za korištenje glukoze, pretvara ga u CO2 lakše, imaju veću otpornost na toksine (Harris, et al, 1990; čak kobra otrova: a.. Morganroth, et al, 1989), uključujući i endotoksina (Li, et al., 1990), sprječava prekomjerno istjecanje-vaskularni i imunološkog oštećenja (Takahashi, et al., 1992), i traume, a njihov odgovor je neuromuskularni ubrzan, dok brzo vučna mišići su manje jednostavno umoran (Ayre i Hulber, 1996).

U osoba oboljelih od multiple skleroze, krv je viskozna, a trombociti imaju tendenciju da se pramen zajedno lakše. Njihova razina kortizola je veća od normalne, a njihova hipofiza nadbubrežna korteks--stimulirajući hormon je teže potisnuti. To je stanje koje je također vidio u depresiju i starosti. Unatoč kronično povišen kortizol, ljudi s MS obično imaju hipoglikemiju. Oni povremeno se utvrdi da imaju nizak krvni natrij, hiponatremija, ali to je teško odrediti kada krv sadržaj vode je promjenjiva. Njihov prolaktin je vjerojatno da će biti visoka, a to može dovesti do visokog estrogena, serotonin visoke, niske natrij, ili niske štitnjače. Pijenje previše vode može povećati prolaktin, a može oštetiti živce ¡ť mijelina kućišta, previše serotonina, tendira da uzrokuje pretjeranu konzumaciju alkohola. Poremećaji glukoze u krvi, natrijev, i voda sadržaja može poremetiti strukturu mozga mijelina. Visoki estrogena remeti krv osmotically, što ga čini zadržati previše vode u odnosu na otopljenih tvari, a to se odnosi na mnoge estrogena u učinaka, jer jednostavno osmotske varijacije mogu oštetiti mijelina strukture, čini se da taj mehanizam treba istražiti temeljito prije nego što je Pretpostavlja se da su imunološki događaji su primarni.

Mastociti, koje promiču upalne procese po objavljivanju tvari poput histamina i serotonina (i napraviti krvne žile curi), su brojniji u mozgu multiple skleroze nego u normalnim mozgovima. Od trombocita clumping oslobađa serotonin, a također jer višak serotonina je predložen od strane mnogih drugih značajki MS, antagonisti serotonina (ondansetron i ketanserin, na primjer) korišteni su terapijski uspjeh.

Estrogen uzrokuje mastocita objaviti svoje upalnih medijatora, i to uzrokuje trombocita na agregat, ispuštanje njihov serotonina. Budući da estrogen dominacija je usko povezan s prisutnošću aktivnih moždanih lezija, antiestrogen terapija bi činiti se očigledan u MS. Progesteron neutralizira učinke estrogena je na obje mastociti i trombociti.

Aspirin štiti od raznih upalnih procesa, ali je najpoznatiji po inhibicije prostaglandina. Iako acetilsalicilna kiselina se često koristi za ublažavanje bolova u MS, a drugi inhibitor sinteze, prostaglandina indometacinom, je bio korišten u MS terapeutski, čini se primjereno istražiti pomnije aspirina na moguću ulogu u prevenciji ili ublažavanju MS.

Jednostavan nedostatak proteina ima mnogo iznenađujuće efekte. On snižava tjelesnu temperaturu, a potiskuje štitnjače, ali to povećava upalu i sklonost krvi da se zgruša. Budući da mozak i srce i pluća zahtijevaju stalan dotok esencijalnih aminokiselina, ako su za nastavak funkcioniranja, u nedostatku proteina, kortizol mora biti proizvedeno stalno mobilizira aminokiseline iz potrošnog tkiva, koje su uglavnom skeletni mišići. Ti mišići imaju visoku koncentraciju triptofan i cistein, koja potisne štitnjače. L-cistein je excitoxic i triptofan je prethodnica za serotonin. Vjerojatno, njihova prisutnost u, i stres-inducirana oslobođenje od, mišića je jedan od mehanizama koji smanjuju metaboličke aktivnosti tijekom određene vrste stresa.

Kad trudnica životinje su lišene bjelančevina, novorođenče su životinje imaju abnormalno visoke razine serotonina, i enzima odgovornih za taj višak teže održavati višak serotonina čak i kad su narasla i imati odgovarajuće bjelančevine. To je analogno s učinkom viška estrogena rano u životu, što stvara sklonost za razvoj dojke ili prostate u odrasloj dobi. Bilo bi zanimljivo proučiti gestacijski iskustvo, npr. duljina trudnoće i porod mase, naroda koji je kasnije razviti multiplu sklerozu.

Iako ljudi u sjevernim zemljama nisu normalno proteina gladni, oni imaju tendenciju da se veliki dio svog proteina iz mišićnog mesa. U tradicionalnim kulturama, svi dijelovi hrane životinje su jeli-piletina noge, glave i vrata, životinja uši i očiju, itd., i tako amino kiselina ravnoteža povoljno za održavanje visoke metabolizma i prevenciji stresa.

Ustanovljeno je da se multipla skleroza povezani s konzumacijom svinjetine i konjetina, ali ne i govedina, janjetina, ili koza, je vrlo zanimljiv, jer masti od tih životinja kao što je u suštini masti iz biljnih materijala da jedu, što znači da je iznimno visoka u linolne i linolenske kiseline. Burag krava, ovaca, koza i sadrži bakterije koje su polinezasićenih masti pretvoriti u više zasićenih masti. Nezasićene masti inhibirati enzime koji digest proteina, i MS pacijenata su izvijestili da imaju lošu probavu mesa (Gupta i sur., 1977).

U polinezasićene masti u sebi toksičan za mitohondrije, i potiskivanje oksidaciju glukoze, a inhibira funkciju štitnjače, s istim suzbija učinak na sposobnost za oksidaciju glukoze u krvi, ali također se okrenuo, enzymically, u prostaglandini, i non-enzymically, spontanim lipidne peroksidacije, u otrovnim isoprostanes. U isoprostanes, a neki od prostaglandina, su povišena u mozgu i drugim tkivima ljudi s multiplom sklerozom.

Lipidna peroksidacija je vrlo visok u multiple skleroze. Dušikov oksid (čija je sinteza promiče estrogena u većini dijelova mozga) je slobodni radikali koji se aktivira peroksidacije.

Lipidna peroksidacija selektivno uništava, naravno, nestabilno polinezasićenih masti. U ateroskleroze, krvne žile plakete sadrže vrlo malo nezasićenih masti. To je zato što su peroxidized tako brzo, ali je njihov visoki udio zasićenih da nezasićenih masti se koristi za tvrde da su polinezasićene ulja su "srce zaštitna". Slični argumenti često su izrađene u MS, iako neke studije ne podržavaju ideju da postoji nedostatak bilo kojeg od nezasićenih masti. Budući da lipidna peroksidacija je vrlo visoka, to bi bilo razumnije pretpostaviti da je obilje polinezasićenih masti se peroxidized kroz reakcije s katalizatora kao što su željezo (SM Levine, 1997) i dušikov oksid i peroxynitrile.

Vjerujem da je važan aspekt za netolerancije topline tako često kod osoba s multiplom sklerozom mogao biti tendencija relativnog hipertermije objaviti veće količine slobodnih masnih kiselina u krvi stream. Žene, zbog estrogena u učinaka, obično imaju mnogo višu razinu slobodnih masnih kiselina u krvi od muškaraca. Estrogen povećava oslobađanje slobodnih masnih kiselina iz pohranjene masti i nezasićenih masti synergize s obje estrogena i prolaktina, povećanje njihove učinke.

Regulacija temperature očito uključuje neke živčane stanice da osjećaj temperatura vrlo točno, i promijeniti svoju djelatnost u skladu s tim. Voda ima izuzetno visok toplinski kapacitet, što znači da ima relativno veliku količinu topline promijeniti njezinu temperaturu. "Nestajanja topline" se konzumira strukturne promjene u vodi. Proteini imaju istu vrstu strukturalne složenosti, kao vode, a zajedno mogu napraviti učinkovite temperature pretvarače ", termometara." (Ostale tvari imaju tendenciju proći kroz velike strukturalne promjene samo kao oni rastopiti ili ispari. Poznati "tekući kristali" imaju malo različita strukturne faze, ali Citoplazma je kao vrlo suptilan tekućih kristala.) "termostat stanice" su zapravo odgovor na stupanj unutarnje strukture, a ne na temperaturu u sažetak. Dakle, stvari koje se mijenjaju svoj unutarnji ustroj će modificirati svoje temperatura "set-točku."

Povećanje estrogena uzrokuje životinju na niže svoju temperaturu, a vjerojatno se to povećanje "strukturnih" temperaturu strane termostata stanica "topi", njihovu unutarnju strukturu. Progesteron izaziva životinju povećati svoju temperaturu, a očito to čini povećanjem strukturu / smanjenje strukturne temperaturu termostat stanica. Ako stavite led u termostatu, soba se ugrije.

Stanične unutarnja struktura je jednaka njezinoj spremnosti za rad. Umor predstavlja blago "rastopljeni" stanje u ćeliji, u kojoj struktura izgleda kao da su konzumirali zajedno s rezervama kemijske energije. Eksperimenti dokazali da je taj učinak je vrlo jasan, ali su bili zanemareni, jer oni ne uklapaju ljudi stereotipne ideje stanice. Uz vrlo osjetljivom termometar, to je moguće izmjeriti toplinu koja nastaje na živac kada je stimulirana. To ne čudi. No, to je čudo da, kada je živac se oporavlja od stimulacije, ona apsorbira toplinu iz okoline, smanjenje temperature na lokalnoj razini. Da čak i prekršio nekih ljudi koncepciju "entropija", ali to se lako može dokazati da mijenja oblik nekih materijala mijenja svoj toplinski kapacitet, kao kad lastiš se proteže (to se ugrije), odnosno ugovora (to dobiva hladnjak).

U excitants, estrogen i kortizol, usporava provođenje živaca, jer oni uzrokuju njezin unutarnji ustroj kako bi se raspršila. Oni su stvorili "pre-umornoga" stanje u ćeliji.

U pokusima s kunić srca, Szent-Gyorgyi su pokazali da estrogen smanjuje srca spremnost za rad, te da progesteron povećao svoju spremnost za rad, a on je rekao da je to "građevinske konstrukcije." On je istakao da, za određeni lijek ili drugi poticaj, stanice imaju karakterističan odgovor, postaje ili više aktivni ili više inhibiran, ali je pokazao da je, izvan normalnog intenziteta koncentracije ili raspon poticaja, stanične reakcije često se smanjuje.

Ako je ovo situacija u živce u MS, objašnjava se čudno ponašanje, u kojem se zagrijava živac smanjuje svoju funkciju. Posljedica je da je unutarnja struktura (i energija) mora biti vraćena na živce. U eksperimentima koji sam opisanih u prethodnim newsletterima, povećanje natrija, ATP, ugljikov dioksid, i progesteron, i povećanje omjera na magnezija kalcija, su pronađeni za povećanje energije i staničnu strukturu. Hormona štitnjače je u konačnici odgovoran za održavanje stanica energiju i strukturu, i brzinu, ali ako se povećava iznenada ne dopuštajući svi ostali čimbenici za podešavanje, to će podići temperaturu previše odjednom. To ne mora potrajati dugo, ali su svi čimbenici moraju biti prisutni u isto vrijeme.

Serotonin, melatonin, estrogen, and polyunsaturated fats all tend to lower body temperature. Since estrogen and the unsaturated fats are cellular excitants, the actual decrease in body temperature helps to offset their excitatory effects.

Both bright light and high altitude tend to reduce serotonin's effects. The tissue carbon dioxide retained at high altitude reduces the incidence of many diseases, and multiple sclerosis might be affected as heart disease and cancer are. It is known that carbon dioxide is involved in myelin's regulation of its own water content. Hyperventilation, by causing a loss of carbon dioxide, releases both histamine and serotonin, making blood more viscous, while making blood vessels more permeable, and causing them to constrict.

If people with MS have developed it through the interactions of excessive estrogen, serotonin, unsaturated fats, iron, and water, and deficient thyroid, and deficient pregnenolone produced in the myelin-forming cells (oligodendrocytes), there are many things that can be done to stop its progress, and possibly to reverse it.

Since a sudden increase in temperature will release increased amounts of the pro-inflammatory fats, things should be changed gradually. Increased salt is thermogenic, but increased magnesium is protective against hyperthermia, so increased magnesium (epsom salts baths, for example, coffee, fruits, some vegetables and meats) would be helpful. Magnesium is rapidly lost from cells in hypothyroidism. Sugar, when accompanied by fats and minerals, as in milk, is needed to lower cortisol, and to maintain thyroid activity. Balanced proteins, such as cheese, potatoes, eggs, and beef- or lamb-broth (for the gelatin and mineral content in particular) will prevent the tryptophan excess that suppresses the thyroid and is potentially a nerve toxin. Saturated fats, used regularly, reduce the immediate toxic antimetabolic effects of the stored unsaturated fats, but it takes a long time to change the balance of stored fats.

Since aspirin lowers temperature, is antiinflammatory, in some situations antiestrogenic, and is a powerful antioxidant, it is likely that it would alleviate symptoms and prevent progression of MS, as it does in other degenerative diseases. Since platelet aggregation is likely to be involved in the focuses of inflammation, aspirin might help to prevent the formation of new areas of damage.

While the glucocorticoids are useful for their antiinflammatory actions, cortisol is known to promote the killing of brain cells by excitotoxicity. Since estrogen decreases GABA, and both estrogen and serotonin activate the excitatory amino acid transmitters, the addition of synthetic glucocorticoids to the pre-existing cortisol excess is likely to damage parts of the brain in addition to the inflamed areas.

The excess cortisol of depression, old age, and hyperestrogenism often comes down with use of a thyroid supplement, but pregnenolone has a very direct action (in opposition to serotonin) that can quiet the pituitary, reducing ACTH and cortisol. Progesterone has some similar effects, and is protective against excess cortisol, and is a major factor in nerve and brain restoration. Thyroid, progesterone, and pregnenolone are all involved in the formation of new myelin, and in the prevention of the edema that damages it.

Since thyroid and progesterone decrease the formation of estrogen in inflamed tissue, while cortisol stimulates its formation, it would seem wise to use thyroid and progesterone for their immediate antiinflammatory effects, which include the inhibition of NO formation (Drew and Chavez, 2000), and their lack of the excitotoxic, estrogen-stimulating effects of the glucocorticoids. While the glucocorticoids are catabolic and liberate cysteine and tryptophan from muscles, thyroid and progesterone are not catabolic, and protect against the toxic consequences of those amino acids.

After 9 wk, groups of rats on each test diet were fed a stock diet of laboratory chow for a further 6 wk. Muscle function was examined by using a battery of five tests for soleus (slow twitch) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL; fast twitch). Tests included single muscle twitches, sustained tetanic contractions, posttetanic potentiation, sustained high-frequency stimulation, and intermittent low-frequency stimulation. Results for muscles from the High (n-6) and High (n-3) groups were very similar. However, the EFAD diet resulted in significantly lower muscular tensions and reduced response times compared with the High (n-6) and High (n-3) diets. Peak twitch tension in soleus muscles was 16-21% less in the EFAD group than in the High (n-6) and High (n-3) groups, respectively [analysis of variance (ANOVA), P < 0.01). During high-frequency stimulation, EDL muscles from the EFAD rats fatigued 32% more quickly (ANOVA, P < 0.01)]. Also, twitch contraction and half-relaxation times were significantly 5-7% reduced in the EFAD group (ANOVA, P < 0.01). During intermittent low-frequency stimulation, soleus muscles from the EFAD group generated 25-28% less tension than did the other groups (ANOVA, P < 0.01), but in EDL muscles from the EFAD group, endurance was 20% greater than in the High (n-6) group (ANOVA, P < 0.05). After 6 wk on the stock diet, there were no longer any differences between the dietary groups. Manipulation of dietary fatty acids results in significant, but reversible, effects in muscles of rats fed an EFAD diet.

Chaouloff F "radi od 1980-ih su utvrdili da akutna trčanje povećava mozga serotonin (5-hidroksitriptamina: 5-HT) sinteza na dva načina. Lipolysis-elicited release of free fatty acids in the blood compartment displaces the binding of the essential amino acid tryptophan to albumin, thereby increasing the concentration of the so-called “free tryptophan” portion, and because exercise increases the ratio of circulating free tryptophan to the sum of the concentrations of the amino acids that compete with tryptophan for uptake at the blood-brain barrier level, tryptophan enters markedly in the brain compartment.” “Indirect indices of 5-HT functions open the possibility that acute exercise-induced increases in 5-HT biosynthesis are associated with (or lead to) increases in 5-HT release.”

While this may signify a protective role for melanin against environmental factors producing oxidative damage, the mechanism postulated here is that susceptibility to autoimmune demyelination is influenced by hormonal factors, ie the neurohormones melatonin and melanocyte stimulating hormone, which have opposing effects on immune functions and, the same time, are important determinants of the individual's production of melanin.”

Neurosci Letonac 6. studenog 1989, 105 (3) :246-50. Prisutnost Schwannovim stanica u neurodegenerativnih lezijama središnjeg živčanog sustava. Dusart I, Isacson O, Nothias F, Gumpel M, Peschanski M Ultrastructural analysis of neurodegenerative CNS lesions produced by an excitotoxic substance revealed that the majority of cells ensheathing axons were not oligodendrocytes. By their morphology and the presence of both a basal lamina and collagen fibers they were identified as Schwann cells. The presence of Schwann cells, whose growth-promoting role in the peripheral nervous system has been largely documented, may account for the development of regenerating growth cones which have been observed in the excitotoxically lesioned central nervous system. Further support for this hypothesis came from the analysis of fetal neural transplants implanted into the lesioned area. Schwann cells ensheathing axons were indeed numerous in the neuron-depleted area surrounding the transplants, where neurite outgrowth of graft origin occurred.

There was a similar relationship between toxicity and increasing unsaturation for most of the cholesterol esters, but cholesteryl linolenate was apparently anomalous, being non-toxic in spite of possessing three double bonds and being extensively oxidised.” “The toxicity of triglycerides suggests that polyunsaturated fatty acid peroxidation products are also toxic.”

This similarity suggested the re-examination of a concept, first proposed in 1882, that the demyelination in MS is due to venous thrombosis. Unfortunately, although the plaques of MS are often perivenular, thromboses are not always present. Nevertheless, vascular theories can explain the topography of the lesions in MS.” “There is also evidence in man that fat may lodge in the microcirculation of the nervous system and cause distal perivenous oedema with the loss of myelin from axons.”

It is assumed that these changes contribute to the deterioration of microcirculation and aggravate the demyelinating process. Correction of the rheological properties of the blood by plasmapheresis coupled with other methods of pathogenetic therapy turned out effective.

The cells related to the peripheral myelin possessed the ultrastructural characteristics of Schwann cells, with basement membranes and associated collagen fibers. No continuity was seen with the peripheral within the central nervous tissues by selective maturation of multipotential primitive reticular cells, a phenomenon consistent with the view that Schwann cells are mesenchymal in character.

Pechenova TN, Sushkova VV, Solodova EV, Gulyi MF Protein deficiency and tryptophane load against its background lead to the acid-soluble collagen synthesis in the rat skin. The amino acid composition of the collagen differs from the norm. This is accompanied by changes in the free amino acid pool of blood serum and liver, under tryptophane load the free amino acids pool of the liver increasing twice as high. At the same time protein deficiency increases and tryptophane load decreases the level of tRNA amino acylation with tryptophane in the animal liver. Thus, protein deficiency and tryptophane load against its background cause deep changes in the protein biosynthesis.

Coagulation and ensuing fibrinolysis occur at sites of binding of effector cells to cerebrovascular endothelium. Release of biologically active peptides cleaved from fibrin open the BBB, thereby setting the stage for the cascade of inflammatory events culminating in clinical manifestations of EAE.”

The addition of intralipid to normal serum produces an immediate increase in non-esterified fatty acids and a parallel rise in free tryptophan. Moreover, when serum with intralipid is incubated at 37 degrees C, the lipases release new non-esterified fatty acids and the free tryptophan increases proportionally.” “It is concluded that intralipid causes an increase in free tryptophan levels. It is known that in vivo free tryptophan modulates 5-hydroxytryptamine synthesis and thus may be considered a possible causal agent for encephalopathy.”

Although CSF from MS patients contains a significantly higher linoleic acid concentration than controls the close correlation between CSF linoleic acid and CSF albumin is maintained. The high CSF concentration of cholesterol esters rich in linoleic acid, which are abundant in serum but represent only traces in CNS lipids, points towards an impaired BBB function as the cause of CSF linoleic increase. We are able to show that both albumin and linoleic acid are suitable as “serum markers….”

Skaper SD, Facci L, Romanello S, Leon A. “Neurotoxicity required a prolonged period (12 h) of mast cell incubation, and appeared to depend largely on elaboration of the free radical nitric oxide by astrocytes.” “Myelin basic protein and 17 beta-estradiol had a synergistic action on the induction of mast cell-associated neuronal injury.” “Further, palmitoylethanolamide, which has been reported to reduce mast cell activation by a local autacoid mechanism, decreased neuron loss resulting from mast cell stimulation in the mixed cultures but not that caused by direct cytokine induction of astrocytic nitric oxide synthase.” “These results support the notion that brain mast cells could participate in the pathophysiology of chronic neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases of the nervous system, and suggest that down-modulation of mast cell activation in such conditions could be of therapeutic benefit.”

Vinegar R, Truax JF, Selph JL, Johnston PR, Venable AL, McKenzie KK “Antiserotonin agents inhibited the hypoalgesia and part of the edema. These findings and histological observations suggested that dermal mast cells were injured by C. The hyperalgesia and part of the edema were sensitive to arachidonate cyclooxygenase inhibitors (AACOIs). It is speculated that injured mast cells metabolize arachidonic acid and reactive intermediates, not prostaglandins, mediate the NPIR hyperalgesia and part of the edema.” “Arachidonic acid metabolism by neutrophils is speculated to produce the mediators of phagocytic inflammatory (PI) edema and hyperalgesia.”

    Would anyone know about the use of progesterone in a male teen with a seizure disorder? I've always wondered about myelination and occasional bouts with hypoglycemia, among other things.

    A supplement to my earlier post, if you will allow me. -

    After having read the article above, it confirms the inordinately painstaking research performed by Raymond Peat, PhD.

    I am seriously impressed by it and this gives me an insight into the processes involved and the multible possibilities at Nature's disposal to keep us alive and well and also exactly how the lesions are formed.

    Permit me to make a fundamental observation at this point:
    Human beings are able to 'manufacture' vitamin “D” in abundant quantities from the ultra violet part of the light spectrum. The closer one dwells to the Equator and the closer one dwells to the 'top of the atmosphere' the more efficient the production of this essential vitamin to an absolutely healthy body. Ergo, the more abundant the presence of nutrients, vitamins and minerals at the body's disposal, the healthier an individual and the fewer the devastational events in ones life!

    As such, profound, unexpected and sudden events will be dealt with on a normal day to day activity level, without the need for Significant Biological Special programs (SBS) at Mother Natures disposal.
    Our Psyche is “us”. Our brains are the mediators between our bodies and our minds (Psyches). Any and all SBSs can be verified through Brain CT Scans in concentric figures and the locations are determined by the nature of the events.

    Dr. med. Mag. theol. Ryke Geerd Hamer calls these 'lesions' Hamersche Herde = HH, or Hamer Foci.

    I do not know who will get this e-mail, but I hope it will end up with

    Raymond Peat, PhD.

    The list of references is astounding and obviously a lot of work went into writing the above article.

    However, I did not have to read the whole article, because it was evident from the start, that the effort to come to grips with MS was into the wrong direction, as it addressed symptoms and their causes rather than knowing the root cause of this malady.

    Please do not misunderstand my intentions to make you aware of a very fundamental error in today's medical thinking and the treatments of ailments, as they are all starting out from the wrong conclusions (albeit not the wrong diagnoses!).

    MS is caused by a profound sense of 'helplessness' event, which causes necroses of neural tissues in an attempt by Mother Nature to rebuild them better and stronger, so that this 'helplessness' will not reoccur.

    The re-discoverer of these 5 Biological Laws of Nature has spent 30 years of research, after having to admit to himself and the medical community, that everything they were taught and had practiced was in fact wrong. You can learn more about a whole lot of this here:

    http://learninggnm.com .

    I hope very strongly, that eventually I find an open mind of high enough caliber, who will “take the bit” and investigate this entirely new concept of practicing true medicine, not the 'treat the symptom' type, as is being practiced today!

    I would like to know if taking natural progesterone, in accordance with the recommendations of Dr. John Lee in his books What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause and What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause, could be helpful to women with MS.
