MS and CFS/ME LECTURES



http://www.direct-ms.org/presentation-prevention/hiband/index.html

The above lecture link was emailed to me by our graduate Shelly Davies (it is nice to know that our graduates still feel a part of the college and contribute to it).

For some of you this lecture may be only a revision and for some of you this may be an interesting new topic. MS is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system that can vary from being relatively benign to disabling and devastating. I have seen people’s lives in ruins because of this condition. However, if diagnosed early, and intervention is taken, you, as nutritional therapists, in conjunction with orthodox medicine, can make a huge difference. You may not cure it, but you may slow down the progression of the diseases and improve your clients’ quality of life. Nutrition is a powerful tool - that ‘s why we teach you how to use it.

Level 2 student, Lucy Etherton, has emailed us the following:-

Hi folks

There has recently been a series on ME / CFS on radio 4 (post NICE issuing guidelines on it) - have attached links below - the last link to the radio 4 listen back or transcripts on the radio series. Quite interesting.
