Can the Sun Enable you to Stop MS?

We've invested the past few decades preaching about how important it is to stay out of the sun. We thoroughly understand the risks connected with it and do every little thing we can think of to keep it away from us. We slather on layers and layers of the largest SPF sunscreens that we can purchase. We put on large floppy hats. We put on long pants and sleeves even throughout the hottest months of the year. We try and stick to the shady areas-some individuals have even taken to carrying parasols around with them to keep the sun from ever making contact with their skin. Now we are beginning to realize that sunlight can really help us. Can you truly be helped by the sun?

There is a new study that demonstrates people who let themselves get some exposure to direct sunshine aren't as prone to come down with MS as people who take steps to minimize sunlight contact on skin. At the onset, the study was more about Vitamin D and it's effects on Multiple Sclerosis. It didn't take long for them to realize that it is the Vitamin D our bodies produce after exposure to sunshine that is at the center of the issue.

It has been known for years that the sunshine and Vitamin D can be used to hinder the abnormal immune system workings that are thought to contribute to MS. This specific study, though, is targeted on how sunshine affects the people who are starting to experience the very earliest of MS symptoms. The objective of the study is to discover how the sun's rays and Vitamin D might have an affect on the symptoms doctors call "precursor" to actual symptoms of the disease.

Unfortunately, there are not all that many ways to truly quantify the study's theory. The purpose of the study is to find out whether sunlight can actually prevent the disease. Sadly, the only real way to quantify if this is accurate is to monitor a person over his or her entire life. This is just about the only solution to actually evaluate the levels of Vitamin D that are already present in a person's blood before the precursors to MS start to become apparent. The way it appears these days, and has stood (widely recognized) for years is that people who live in warm and sunny climates and who get more exposure to direct sunshine are less likely to develop MS than those who live in dark or cold climates and get very little exposure to the sun.

There is also the very important problem that spending too much time in the sunlight greatly increases a person's chances of developing skin cancer. So, if you try to prevent one disease, you could be helping to induce the other one. Of course, when it gets caught early on, skin cancer is very treatable and can even be cured. This isn't true for MS.

So should you get more sunshine to avoid MS from setting in? Ask a family doctor whether or not this is an excellent idea. Your physician can evaluate your current health status, your history and even your genetics to determine if you are even at risk for the disease in the first place. From there your doctor may help you figure out the best ways to keep the disease at bay.
