Multiple Sclerosis Treatment and Unproven "Cures"
MS is a disease with no known cause and for which there is no universally effective treatment. However, MS has a natural tendency to improve spontaneously. These factors open the door for a number of unproven claims of cures. At one time or another, many ineffective and even potentially dangerous therapies have been promoted as effective
multiple sclerosis treatments or cures.
A partial list of these "MS cures" includes:
- Injections of snake venom
- Electrical stimulation of the dorsal column of the spinal cord
- Removal of the thymus gland
- Breathing pressurized (hyperbaric) oxygen in a special chamber
- Injections of beef heart and hog pancreas extracts
- Intravenous or oral calcium orotate (calcium EAP)
- Hysterectomy
- Removal of dental fillings containing silver or mercury amalgams
- Surgical implantation of pig brain into the patient's abdomen.
None of these are effective forms of multiple sclerosis treatment.
