The cause for the outbreak of the disease is still open today, despite intensive research, it is not yet resolved. However, the treatment options are constantly evolving, so the quality of life of MS patients in recent years have greatly improved.
Now there is hope for a new and better treatment option. A recent study by the Institute for Neuroimmunology of the Berlin Charite indicates strong evidence. The research group led by Professor Frauke Zipp were looking for substances that can positively influence the disease course. In the course of this research, Dr. Orhan Aktas and his colleague Dr. Timour Prozorovski studied the effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate ( EGCG ) in multiple sclerosis. This material is highly included in green tea.Green tea is best served with japanese tea sets. There are many positive effects of teas in our body. First, it slows down the wrong-reacting immune system and it strengthens and protects the nerve cells against the attacks. After initial tests, they have confirmed the efficacy of animal experiments. The researchers checked their results on human immune and nerve cells that had been grown in cultures.
In contrast to most current therapies used to treat multiple sclerosis, EGCG has few side effects. Side effects, especially for patients with frequent relapses are very stressful and so the scientists hope to verify the good results in medical studies. In addition, the active ingredient can be administered orally and does not need spraying.
The first symptoms of the disease had showed a good effect according to studies in rats. The therapeutic approach could be achieved especially in patients in the initial phase. Further studies are now for the effect of green tea on the multiple sclerosis with relapses.
These studies are successful, a gentle new therapy for patients with multiple sclerosis are available.
