Main > Health > The body > Brain > Multiple sclerosis It's believed that the risk of contracting MS is decreased if, in childhood, one had plenty of vitamin D (e.g. lots of sunlight). However, among its main causes is genetic weakness of the immune system, so if none of your relatives have it, then it's unlikely you will.   kellyjones00 (593)

Main > Health > The body > Brain > Multiple sclerosis Advice for first-degree relatives of people with MS: avoid viral infection, trauma, electrical injury, and chemical exposure. Plus the usual advice: good nutrition, adequate rest, low stress, normal body temperature, and good bladder hygiene. Things that raise body temperature, like exposure to sun, hot baths and showers, extreme physical activity, and fever are supposed to worsen MS symptoms. Other advice: to use tai chi and swimming for muscular and mental control; develop strong bladder control; eat foods rich in anti-oxidants, and low in saturated fat.   kellyjones00 (593)
