Latent Heat has been identified as a possible etiology for MS. The rough piece I

recently submitted indicates the requisite sign/symptom complex to make a

distinction of latent heat. The most interesting portion for me is the analysis

of the wave form and the rough vibration or slippery quality

present in the arrival (Yang within Yin). If the diagnosis contains Latent Heat,

then the treatment for latent heat will tend to be more effective than that for

Yin Fire. The exception to this is the fact that Sheng Ma upbears Qi and thrusts

latent pathogens from the interior to the exterior.

Here is a clip from some materials I wrote in the early nineties on MS:

 

Etiology

The etiology of MS is idiopathic. In all likelihood, the cause is

multifactorial. Theories about the cause include: autoimmunity, heredity,

alteration of fatty acid metabolism, environmental factors, slow viruses,

myelinic enzymes, and more.

 

Temperate Zones

MS tends to be more prevalent in the colder latitudes, and is rarely seen in

equatorial regions. The exceptions are regions with high dairy intake.

 

Postviral Sequela

Dr. Harold Manner reports 100% of his MS patients having a serious bout with

measles or a recent inoculation with the vaccination. In animals, many viruses

are capable of demyelination. Studies are tending to show viral factors as

adventitious rather than causal. Viral agents isolated from materials

cultured from MS patients include: canine distemper, coranavirus, subacute

myelo-opticoneuropathy, mumps, chickenpox, herpes simplex, as well as viral

fractions.

 

Electromagnetic Field Disturbance

Dr. Hans Nieper claims an extremely high incidence of electromagnetic field

disturbance and geopathic stresses among the some 1300 MS patients he has seen.

Eureka California is a sight of high earthquake activity, close by, one must

stand at an angle and not perpendicular to the earth to keep from

falling. In that region there is an MS frequency 4 times the normal .1%. Given

this information, it would be wise for MS patients to avoid microwave, heating

blankets, heating pads and the like.

 

Heavy Metals

Other suspected culprits include heavy metals such as mercury, nickel, fluorine,

platinum, aluminum, and chlorine. These metals interfere with the electrical

potential across the phospholipid surfaces of cell membranes and myelin

sheathing. There is a higher incidence of MS downwind from factories

working with nickel, chromium and other heavy metals.

 

Li Chi Shen recommends the consumption of duck for metal poisoning. Animal fat

is commonly recommended in China for metal toxicity, high fat intake is less of

an option here in the U.S for obvious reasons. Modern Study and Application of

Materia Medica lists several antidotes for heavy metals

according to Subhuti Dharmananda.

 

Arsenic: Angelica, Smilax, Onychium, and Siler.

Mercury: Smilax, Onychium, Lysimachia, Halloysite.

Lead: Lysimachia, Isatis, Osmunda, Tokoro, Codonopsis, Millettia, Chrysanthemum,

Licorice, Equisetum.

Miso soup as well as the seaweeds Sargassum and Laminaria have also been shown

to bind out heavy metals.

 

Blood-Brain Barrier

Another theory has to do with the blood-brain barrier and platelet aggregation

or blood stasis. Modern researchers in China have been using Salvia miltiorrhiza

(Dan Shen) with Astragalus membranaceous (Huang Qi) to potentize the effect of

the Salvia.

 

Autoimmune Factors

During acute episodes, suppressor T-cell levels have been shown to fall just

prior to an attack, and rise when the attack ends. Linoleic acid (Flax oil)

supplementation has been shown to significantly reduce immune auto-aggression.

 

Epidemiology

Most cases begin between 20 and 40 years old, and rarely after 50. Females are

affected slightly more than males. Siblings are at a 10-15% greater risk than

the general populous whose risk is 0.1%. Daughters of mothers show a 5%

increased risk. The disease is rarely seen in Native Americans, Eskimos

and Bantus.
