Api-phytotherapy in leuco-neuraxitis


HISTOPATHOLOGY DATA
PHYSIOPATHOLOGY
AETIO-PATHOGENY


The histopatological characteristic in leuco-neuraxitis is the demyelinization plate.
The demyelinization plate starts frequently from a vein; this fact suggests that the circulatory flow plays a major role in this disease.


In the central nervous system (composed by the brain and the spinal marrow) the myeline sheaths are formed by rolling around the axes of the prolongations of cells named oligodendrocites. Hence, the myeline sheath represents an integral part of the cell not only a simple matter deposited around the axes.
In the mature demyelinization plates there are found integral neuronal axes and gliosis, i.e. scar tissue. In the developing demyelinization plates there can be found a disintegration of the myeline sheaths, reduced oligodendrocites and discrete lesions of the axes, as well as the rest of the myeline sheaths incorporated into the phagocytes.


The fact that the lesions of the axes are no longer found in the demyeliniyation plates shows that they are able to recover regaining their normal shape. So, there is a reconstruction tendency in the demyelinization plate.
Moreover, the neurons are those which during the intrauterine life secrete a factor named GGF (glial growth factor). The glial growth factor (GGF) is a regulator of the growth and differentiation of gliocites during the embryonic development of the nervous system of the intrauterine foetus.


However, it was found that during the recovery of various cerebral lesions the GGF is present in the cerebral tissue. This proves that the oligodendrocites are able to regenerate by an adult person.
The neuron being the one secreting the GGF and being also able to regenerate into the demyelinization plate, we can believe that the oligodendrocites are also able to regenerate, as well as the myeline sheaths.
According to the authors Feigin and Popoff the fagocyites of mesenchymal origin existing in the developing demyelinization plate would intervene in the recovery of the myeline sheaths, as they present histo-chemical reactions similar to the myeline sheaths within the peripheral nerves.


These information lead to the conclusion that the oligodendrocites are able to recover. They being the ones that generate the myeline sheath, this means that the myeline sheath can regenerate too.
The fact that the demyelinization plate can regenerate was recently confirmed through NMR for patients in the USA who were following the treatment with Lipitor (a cholesterol-lowering drug) and were also suffering from leuco-neuraxitis. A favorable development of leuco-neuraxitis was found and also the disappearance/missing of lesions by the NMR test. At present, there are studies in progress on the possibility of using the drug directly in leuco-neuraxitis.


Other data that can rise important problems regarding the factors determining the appearing of leuco-neuraxitis are those referring to the anti-hepatitis vaccination. Recent studies carried out at the Harvard University show that there is a direct connection between the anti-hepatitis vaccination and the break out of multiple sclerosis. In France, many years ago there were around 15,000 people victims of the anti-hepatitis vaccination that sued the vaccine producer. Half of them were suffering from multiple sclerosis that broke up after they had got vaccinated against hepatitis.


In our country, the anti-hepatitis vaccination is compulsory and is made for little children by administration of three doses of vaccine: the first one after birth and the next at the age of two and six months.
Regarding the immune system there are also a couple of important matters:
- the over-loading of the immune system due to the introducing of an increased number of vaccines;
- the immunity disorders of the entire population due to the modern food for the processing of which synthetic food additives are excessively used (colouring agents, flavours, preservatives, emulsifiers, sweetening agents, stabilizers, etc.)


Moreover, these agents determine a general state of toxicity in the body which may cause the apparition of various diseases; as a rule, a person gets ill on the particular area on which its body is more sensitive.
Another important finding is the association between the increased level of mercury in the body and the break out of leuco-neuraxitis. It has been determined that the mercury comes from the dental fillings made up of mercury amalgam.


As we concluded that the leuco-neuraxitis lesions are reversible, in order to reach this aim we have to fulfill certain conditions.
1. A good blood circulation is necessary at the CNS’s level in order to ensure both the transport of nutrients to the nervous tissue and the take over of metabolites and toxins from this level.
2. Ensuring the main nutrients necessary observing the proper quality and quantity, i.e. firstly the amino-acids, vitamins, ensimes, co-ensimes, oligoelements
3. Ensuring the active principles playing a general and local regenerating and stimulating role
4. Regulating the functioning of the central nervous system; especially nervous relaxation and stress control as it is ascertained that stress has became one of the main factors causing the break out of leuco-neuraxitis
5. Removing the factors that have a negative influence upon the nervous systems, for example the electro-magnetism in excess coming from the electronic devices, irradiation coming from the mobile telephone, computer monitor, TV set;
6. Regulating the immune system (monitors and TV sets are also disturbing the immune system)
7. Removing the toxins from the entire body
8. Ensuring the well functioning of the entire body as the illness affects the whole individual not only its brain
All these conditions can be fulfilled by returning to a normal life and nutrition style to which we may also add the therapeutical remedies that meet the demands and are able to work upon the body entailing the stopping and regression of the development of the disease.
Api-phytotherapy comprises a wide range of remedies acting on multiple directions applicable to leuco-neuraxitis.
