Supplements can reduce MS symptoms

An increase in pro-inflammatory "Th17 cells, and a reduction in cells that work to stop an immune response, like immune regulatory T-cells (Tregs)" contribute to damaging myelin, the protective coat of axon nervevfibers, leading to loss of sensory and motor function, says the study. These results were based on researchers comparing blood and stool samples from a group of 268 MS patients. Researchers found lower levels of bacteria Butyricimonas, and higher levels of disease-associated bacteria, like Flavonifractor, Escherichia, and Shigella in these MS patients.
The study found that diet and PA supplements can play an important role in mitigating the effects of MS and it's symptoms. The PA supplements showed long term reduction in MS symptoms among the tested patients (see https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/news-posts/2020/03/11/diet-has-an-impact-on-the-multiple-sclerosis-disease-course ). Says Aiden Haghikia, member of the Department of Neurology of Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) at St. Josef-Hospita in Germany, “Further research into this largely unknown organ and the knowledge gained from it will enable us to develop innovative dietary measures to complement the known therapeutics in the future” (see https://news.rub.de/english/press-releases/2020-03-11-neurology-diet-has-impact-multiple-sclerosis-disease-course ).
