Scientists have identified certain gut bacteria that may play a direct role in triggering multiple sclerosis. Researchers studied 81 pairs of identical twins where only one twin had MS. Because the twins share the same genetics, the researchers could zero in on environmental differences – especially gut bacteria. There is clear evidence tying specific gut…

Be grateful in the good times and stay hopeful in the hard ones. Nothing lasts for ever. 2 Corinthians 3:7 Faith is when you praise God in the storm, trust Him in the valley and follow Him in the dark.

How having autoimmune diseases, my normal is the equivalent to someone else’s awful. Which is okay because they shouldn’t have to live with what I do, or understand it. I wouldn’t wish this awfulness on anyone. Don’t worry about me though. When given an obstacle, I will do my best to figure out how to…

Your illness define you. Your illness harden your heart from all the pain. Your illness keep you from smiling. Even if it’s through your tears. Your illness tell you who you are or who you can be. Never give up. You deserve a happy life.

Research indicates a link between gut bacteria and multiple sclerosis, that is prevalent in individuals with MS and may contribute to the disease’s development. Studies suggest that gut microbial composition can influence the immune system’s activity, potentially triggering or worsening MS symptoms. Gut bacteria are implicated in microscopic colitis (MC) through a phenomenon called dysbiosis,…

Is not think, not wonder, not imagine, and not obsess. Just breathe and have faith that everything will work out for the best.

My own body, every single day.

You choose how you live with it.

Knowing which bacteria are linked to MS can lead to new diagnostic tools, potential treatments, and better understanding of MS risk. Potential future strategies include developing therapies that target the bacteria or their toxins, creating diagnostic tests based on a person’s specific bacterial makeup, or using gut micro biome modulation through diet, probiotics, or other…

Let go of everything that you can’t control. Let go of what is already gone. Let go of the stories in your mind. The more you loosen your hold, the more peace flows in. Freedom doesn’t come from having more. It comes from holding less.
