WHAT CAUSES MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS?
Multiple sclerosis is most prevalent in the so-called highly civilized (read: chemicalized!) countries. It is rarely encountered in Italy and the South American countries. Italians and South Americans living in the United States and eating the American diet show, however, the same incidence of the disease as other Americans. Researchers feel, therefore, that there must be a relationship between diet and the incidence of multiple sclerosis. Some surveys in Europe show that the disease seems to increase in areas with a higher consumption of animal fat and milk. Diets low in fat were tried on patients at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, with encouraging results.
In England it was observed that there was an unusually high incidence of the disease in lead-mining areas, which prompted many investigations. It was also shown that the lead content of the teeth of patients with multiple sclerosis was “significantly” higher than that of the control groups.
Many other researchers have linked lead poisoning to multiple sclerosis. The Finnish researcher, Martti Salmi, believes that the incidence of multiple sclerosis is closely related to the occurrence of lead in the soil and the environment. It seems that there is a higher incidence of the disease in the northern hemisphere, with the number of cases increasing as one goes farther north. It has been shown that glacial ice distributed lead-bearing materials to the soils in the northern countries. Also, lead in the air from leaded gasoline is suspected as the cause of the disease.
