Fish oil for MS-Yay or Yeah?

Have you ever been frustrated by the seemingly contradictory information about what types of natural supplements can help MS and what really doesn’t? I intended to write this article about the benefits of fish oil for MS. This has been taken by myself for many years and my neurologist has long recommended it to be beneficial. When I read a little more and did some research, I was surprised to find that fish oil was “useless”, “useless”, and “disappointing as multiple sclerosis” for patients with multiple sclerosis. I found one after another. Treatment. “What do people think after years of opposition? In this article, I’ll talk a little more about both sides of this important issue and my personal conclusions as an MS patient. ..

Most of these conclusions are based on a recent study in Bergen, Norway, led by Dr. Oivind Torkildsen of Haukeland University Hospital. This report was published online April 16, 2012 in the Archives of Neurology. In the last two-year study, 92 patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis were followed up and selected to receive either fish oil or placebopill. Simply put, there was consensus that fish oil had no measurable beneficial effect on the progression of multiple sclerosis, disease activity, or the quality of life of participants. Therefore, according to Torkildsen, supplements. “

So does this mean that as an MS patient, you should flush the fish oil into the bathroom and consider it a waste of money and time? I do not think so! This was one study conducted on 92 patients. This is not the first time that the effects of fish oil on MS have been studied, and not all studies have reached the same conclusion. Many previous studies have shown that fish oil can actually make a difference, especially in combination with a low-fat diet, and can have a significant impact on improving function, reducing disability, and reducing the rate of MS recurrence. I am. Polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish oil, especially DHA, help reduce inflammation associated with Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lupus erythematosus, psoriasis, and even other autoimmune diseases such as depression. It is well known to be useful. Those studies showed reduced disease activity and reduced use of anti-inflammatory drugs. Not surprisingly, there are ample similarities between these illnesses and MS, and some benefits can be gained from the use of fish oil.

For me, the benefits of fish oil over conditions that are very common in multiple sclerosis, such as depression, alone, not to mention all the other proven benefits it has on a person’s overall health. I feel it’s worth taking. MS is a very complex disease and there are many things that are not yet understood. I see fish oil as a whole as part of a puzzle piece that helps improve my quality of life, along with a healthy diet, exercise, stress relief, etc., as a “magic bullet” There is none. Cure my MS, slow it down, or stop the activity of the disease. If people with multiple sclerosis can also see it from this perspective, I think the result of this one study is that it is not necessary to throw away the baby in the bath water, so to speak. I think fish oil can still play an important role and should. In helping to strengthen our body and get a better quality of life in every way we can, while MS has to endure the challenges it presents to us.

Marula Fruits-African sake for wildlife, or a complete myth?

Are you familiar with the Marula tree? Otherwise, it’s a beautiful African tree that produces wonderful and delicious fruits! Apparently a delicious fruit that intoxicates elephants …? The story goes on for years … it has even become a liquor called “Amarula” for lovers (by the way, it’s very tasty like Baileys)! origin The story dates back to the 1970s (1974 to be exact). A man named Jamie Uys produced two documentaries called “Beautiful People” (he also directed “Gods Must Be Crazy”). In particular, the footage of wild animals getting drunk after eating the fruits of Marula was an immediate hit (and won the highest documentary award). Since then, millions of people are still persuaded that elephants are really intoxicated with such “powerful” fruits! The question is, is that true? Genuine information or complete fallacy? Sorry to disappoint you, but unfortunately (unfortunately) (depending on how you see it ...

Facts you need to know before putting a ferret on the cat tower

If you are like some pet owners, you may have a mixed household of pets. For pet owners who own ferrets, you may wonder if the cat tower is a safe place for ferrets to play. Another concern is whether cats and ferrets can share the same tower. Many also want to know if it’s better to buy multiple cat towers. Ferrets love to climb and enjoy finding special places to hide. They will fully enjoy the small tunnels and boxes that come as part of many cat towers. However, although ferrets are considered intelligent animals, they do not seem to fully understand their height, or more precisely, their height is too high. Due to this lack of awareness of height, it may be a good idea to buy a cat tree on the short side. Ferret owners report that the playful ferret fell out of the unit without injury.
