The Pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis

Like all other medical conditions, multiple sclerosis triggers physiological changes in the body. The pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis entails studying all those changes in the normal biochemical, physical and mechanical processes of the body that are attributable to MS.

 

Multiple Sclerosis Pathophysiology from Conventional and Alternative Perspectives

 

Conventional medicine describes multiple sclerosis as an autoimmune condition. This means that the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis emphasizes the immune system’s inability to recognize normal nervous tissue as healthy bodily tissue, and its subsequent efforts to attack this tissue as if it were a foreign presence in the body. Alternative medical approaches suggest different explanations of multiple sclerosis, including the view that its primary cause is not actually autoimmunity. This latter perspective emphasizes autoimmunity as a symptom of a larger, systemic condition. This condition may in turn be triggered by malnutrition, by exposure to certain pathogens, or by other factors, depending …


Multiple Sclerosis (MS) pathophysiology – the beginning

When someone inquires about the Multiple Sclerosis pathophysiology they will usually get a very complex explanation filled with medical jargon not understood by the layman.  But MS pathophysiology can be broken down into simpler explanations that don’t need a Doctorate degree to decipher.  The phrase Multiple Sclerosis pathophysiology means, in simple terms, to describe the functional changes that are associated with the disease of Multiple Sclerosis, or the physiology of the diseased organisms or their parts.

 

So what is the Multiple Sclerosis pathophysiology?

 

To get a handle on Multiple Sclerosis pathophysiology let’s start with a simple explanation of the disease.  It is an auto immune disease in which the body’s immune system starts to destroy itself.  The immune system destroys the fatty tissue myelin that insulates the axon/nerves in the spinal and brain area.  The destruction of this myelin sheath is called demyelination. The disease affects the Central …
