Except for cases of frank meningitis, for the most part hydrocephalus, craniosynostosis, Chiari malformations, craniocervical junction malformations, Klippel-Feil, Dandy-Walker syndromes, tethered cords, spondylosis, scoliosis, stenosis etc, acromegaly, Morquio's, Pagets disease., and a multitude of other acquired and inherited structural problems that effect blood and CSF flow in the brain aren't caused by bacterial and viral infections. Neither is traumatic brain injury. They are due to structural issues.
There is no single cause or solution to fixing faulty cranial hydrodynamics. There are many causes and many solutions depending on the cause. Structural problems require structural correction. Dietary problems require dietary correction. Physiological, immunological, inflammatory and pathological problems require neutraceutical or pharmacogical intervention. Toxins and infections should likewise be treated accordingly with antidotes, antivirals and antibacterial agents.

Ask your pharmacist about supplements. You could also try the juice but it will be less concentrated and probably adulterated.

I am very open minded. I like to think "outside the box." I was introduced to the black box theory many years ago in one of my brother's undergraduate engineering books. I have applied the principle ever since to most things I do. I was also a fan of Tom Peter's "In Search of Excellence." Peter's has graduate degrees in civil engineering and business. He is likewise and advocate for open ended thinking. I am not constrained by boxes. It's my lack of knowledge and talent that holds me back. If I was a carpenter my wife would be living under constant construction.NZer1 wrote:...The point I am trying to make is that there are common links, Vit D and its regulation could possibly be one and not everyone has the diseases you list and not everyone with trauma has the outcomes that lead to disease, so what I hope for is open mindedness to see a bigger picture. There are links and they can't be discounted, yet!...
Thanks for you answer, it could be that my probem is meralgia paraesthetica[/i} but I'm not sure, because it appeared in parallel to other symptoms of MS. And it is not in the tigh, only in the belt area, and once centimeter up and down. There is no pain, no reaction to hot water, only sometimes a bit on tingling in the area and in the buttocks. I can feel the warm as well as in the other side of the hip, but I do not feel mild coldness and something very cold (from the freezer) I can feel it after some seconds of touching it.uprightdoc wrote:Hello Am65,am65 wrote:...

Your English is good and your explanation makes sense.
The numbness in your left leg may be due to a condition called meralgia paraesthetica. Meralgia paraesthetica is fairly common. It is caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerves as it passes through a connective tissue tunnel between the pelvis and thigh. Lying on your left side compresses the tunnel. Lying on your right side stretches and deforms the tunnel.
Tunnel syndromes are treated by relieving the inflammation with antiinflammatory agents and physiotherapy such as ultrasound or electrical muscles stimulation etc., and eliminating or correcting the cause of the compression. I often use counter-strain positions to correct pelvic misalignments and decompress neurovascular tunnels.
