Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common, though complex, disabling neurological disease in young adults, starting as early as age 20. Worldwide, there are over 2.8 million people with MS, and in the United States, nearly 1 million. According to National Multiple Sclerosis Society multiple sclerosis is a disease that impacts the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves, which make up the central nervous system and controls our muscle functions. While the exact cause of MS is still not clear we do know that “something” triggers the immune system to attack the central nervous system. Researchers may now have found this “trigger”! Gut dysbiosis is common in MS, but until now no specific causative species was identified as a possible “trigger”. Now several studies have been published strongly suggesting Clostridium perfringens strains (Type B) in the gut are biologically plausible pathogens in MS that trigger inflammatory demyelination of the nerves! The strains of this opportunistic pathogen are known to secrete over 20 identified toxins. We will discuss this amazing breakthrough and offer a safe and REAL answer to this horrible disease.
