Good question Sparky,

I look at it this way:

We know that MS flare-up and progression are related to stress. So if sources of stress are minimized and/or managed, then at least theoretically, one should have fewer and perhaps less severity of flares.

Managing diet for optimum nutrition along with balancing exercise with rest, are things that we can do to assist the body to manage internal stresses.

Limiting exposure to environmental irritants like heat, infectious sources, smoke and pollutants (possibly including EMF radiation), may decrease the body's overall cumulative stress load.

With management of both internal and external stresses optimized, the potential for disease relapse and progression might be minimized.

With love, Erika
