Common side effects can include everything from liver damage to inflammation at the injection site. So the decision for many multiple sclerosis suffers is how to best treat their disease naturally.

Instructions

• 1

  Discuss with your doctor the options for your treatment. In severe cases, it may be absolutely necessary to use Western medicine to treat the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and its side effects. However, your neurologist may be well-equipped to help you investigate alternative medicine.

• 2

  Investigate the use of antioxidants in combating the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Blueberries and other super food like broccoli can help the body form a natural immunity. The stronger the body's overall health, the less likely you will suffer from MS relapses.

• 3

  Exercise. Any action that can strengthen the body can help fight MS. Since multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease, anything that can be done to increase the body's natural immunity is healthy.

• 4

  Avoid other illnesses. Wash your hands often and avoid people who are ill. Viruses can be especially devastating as they will lower the body's natural defenses. Even a minor illness can lead to a multiple sclerosis relapse.

• 5

  Control your body temperature. Increases in the core body temperature can lead to additional relapses. Stay cool and you can avoid future relapses.
