They shared the insights behind why people seek natural remedies, the most common natural medicines, and how, although there is no natural treatment for MS, there are certain natural remedies that can help with treating symptoms of MS.
A cure for MS?
If you had asked me that question last year, I would have said no.
Dr Bassem goes on to discuss why people should treat traditional remedies with caution and shares some exciting updates in relation to a cure, in which a medical breakthrough has discovered a plausible cause for the disease. To finish, both guests offer important words of advice for MS patients.
MS Talks 2.0 – What’s it all about?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Signs and symptoms vary widely between patients, and while there’s no cure for MS, MS Talks 2.0 will attempt to give you a greater understanding of the disease by answering common questions and debunking myths.
The show goes live in both video and podcast format. It is a support for patients with MS, with episodes that offer advice on how patients can break the news to their families, how to find acceptance, treatment and alternative therapies, along with tips about how support networks can help patients throughout their journey.
