Common Vitamin Stops MS

There’s no medical method to cure MS or even stop it from progressing.

But a common supermarket vitamin could do the trick, according to a study published in JAMA.

So drastic improvements, actually, that it cut some of the symptoms in half.

The very first signs of MS are often diagnosed as clinically isolated syndrome (CIS).

Not everyone with CIS goes on to develop full-blown MS, but many do.

A team of scientists from 36 hospitals across France ran a two-year clinical trial involving 303 patients, all recently diagnosed with CIS.

Everyone in the study had low vitamin D levels and no prior MS treatment.

They were randomly assigned to one of two groups.

One group received a high dose of vitamin D: 100,000 IU of cholecalciferol every two weeks.

The other group received a placebo or fake treatment.

Then, the team followed all participants for 24 months, regularly checking their condition through brain scans and monitoring any MS symptoms.

They were specifically looking for signs of disease activity—like new lesions on brain scans or MS relapses.

Throughout the study, neither the participants nor the doctors knew who was getting vitamin D and who was getting the placebo.

This “double-blind” approach helps ensure the results aren’t influenced by expectations.

The results were encouraging for the vitamin D group:

1. Disease activity was seen in 60.3% of those taking vitamin D, compared to 74.1% in the placebo group.

2. On average, people in the vitamin D group went 208 days longer without disease activity.

3. Those getting vitamin D had fewer new lesions on their brain scans: 46.2% developed new lesions compared to 59.2% in the placebo group.

4. Fewer people in the vitamin D group had active, inflammatory lesions: 18.6% versus 34%. In essence, vitamin D cut this symptom in half.

5. The treatment seemed especially effective for those who started with very low vitamin D levels, people with normal body weight, and those without spinal lesions at the beginning.

6. No serious side effects related to vitamin D were reported.

Since the vitamin D dose used in this study was really high, you are unlikely to obtain it from sunlight, fatty fish, mushrooms, or fortified food.

It’s also better to take such a high dose under a doctor’s supervision, as too much can cause problems like kidney stones and high calcium levels.

And if you’ve already been diagnosed with MS, it’s unlikely that vitamin D alone will stop it.

There are, however, simple diet and lifestyle changes that can stop MS from progressing—and eliminate all symptoms.
