Vitamin Deficiency as a Cause for MS




Vitamin deficiency is a culprit in many of the bodies imbalances. Vitamins are so important that even the lack of a small amount over a period of time can cause many different ailments.


I've already talked about vitamin D deficiency and the link to MS when I talked about environment. There is another vitamin linked to multiple sclerosis and that is vitamin B 12.





Vitamin B 12 Deficiency


Neurological signs of B12 deficiency, which can occur without anemia, include sensory disturbances due to damage to peripheral nerves caused by demyelination and irreversible nerve cell death.


Symptoms include numbness, tingling of the extremities, disturbed coordination and, if not treated in time, an ataxic gait, a syndrome known as sub-acute combined degeneration of spinal cord.

Wikipedia – Vitamin B12 Deficiency


Sounds a lot like MS, doesn't it? Maybe researchers and scientists need to do more studies of vitamins and their benefits. If there are supplements that mimic certain disorders when the body doesn't have enough of them, possibly treatments can be found that are less evasive than prescription medications.
