EBV is currently the leading cause of MS
Did you know in the last few years the medical world has scientifically deducted per research that there IS one leading CAUSE of multiple sclerosis?! Did you know it was Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) Did you know you can get tested and start to rid that from your body NOW? Today’s guest is Allaire Schneider. Allaire has a Medical Lab Science (M.L.S.) degree and is also board certified (ASCP). She has written medical journal papers, herself, AND her husband has managed MS for 20 years now while SHE manages Crohn’s disease. Allaire believes many people might have EBV as part of their root cause of MS, per the article. More virus means more damaging antibodies made and worsening of MS symptoms. The EBV virus is hard to get rid of like cold sore viruses. They can stay dormant until the immune system is weak & then come out again later. IF you test positive to EBV these antibodies will do damage to your CNS so you would want to address this with your doctor. Interesting note: Even though this was released to the public, EBV testing is NOT part of initial differential MS diagnosis nor is it done annually with MS patients. This is something you will need to do ON YOUR OWN. For full details, listen to this episode!

Optimal body DNA program
Have you ever gotten your DNA read? Yeah you can use 23andme or some other company but when you get back a bunch of genetic markers that you have NO idea what they mean, it is a WASTE of money. Well, today we are talking with Deric Lyons about the program he created that can literally highlight your own personal predispositions to conditions like heart disease, cancer, diabetes, specific autoimmune markers.. and more. We will then hear from David Lyons about how your DNA can determine the best type of workouts for your OWN body type. I am in David Lyons, Optimal body fitness program, as well! I had mine read with this database and I have a TON of markers that make me higher chance of developing MS. Interesting! I will be getting Dylan's (he’s 16) done, as well. PS. Genetic markers influence metabolism and how certain foods cause weight gain and inflammation. Ex. Mine show I have a few of the 'fat genes' and am genetically predisposed to have to FIGHT body fat in my lifetime. It also shows my body has NO issue with dairy or gluten.. interesting huh!?!?

Measuring activity w/MS blood test
Did you know there is no true TEST to say 'you have multiple sclerosis.' They schedule an MRI. If they see a 'spot' or 'lesions'. If it is found in 2 different areas, you are typically diagnosed. SOME neurologists will order a spinal tap to see if they find HIGH LEVELS of PROTEIN in that spinal fluid, more speficially the specific group of proteins called oligoclonal bands, they will say YEP. You 'HAVE' mS. ** There is no BLOOD test until now. This company, Octave, can structure these results to discern whether there is PROGRESSION, STABILITY or REGRESSION. This new technology will standardize the diagnosis of MS. 📌www.octavebio.com 📌https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/news-posts/2023/09/06/octaves-ms-blood-test-accurately-captures-disease-activity-study/ ** Come join us to hear our thoughts!
