Planetary Formulas Myelin Sheath Support (45 Tabs)
Planetary Formulas Myelin Sheath Support is the best support for the Nervous System. Myelin Sheath Support is a comprehensive botanical preparation, designed to support the fat-like insulating sheath (myelin) that surrounds certain nerve tissues. This formula was developed by herbalist Alan Tillotson, a clinician with 20 years of clinical experience.
The Myelin Sheath of a neuron consists of fat-containing cells that insulate the axon from electrical activity. This insulation acts to increase the rate of transmission of signals. A gap exists between each myelin sheath cell along the axon. Since fat inhibits the propagation of electricity, the signals jump from one gap to the next.
Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disorder that is characterized by demyelination of axons in patches throughout the central nervous system. This destruction or loss of the myelin sheath typically results in diverse symptoms. The symptoms are determined by the functions normally contributed by the affected neurons. Disruption of muscle control, speech, and visual disturbances are common.
The myelin sheath (a tubular case or envelope) gives the whitish appearance to the white matter of the brain. Myelin cells are included in the category of glial cells. Glial cells function to support the processes of neurons in a variety of ways. The glial cells forming myelin sheaths are called oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. The gaps (approximately 1micrometer wide) formed between myelin sheath cells long the axons are called Nodes of Ranvier. Since fat serves as a good insulator, the myelin sheaths speed the rate of transmission of an electrical impulse along the axon. The electrical impulse jumps from one node to the next at a rate as fast as 120 meters/second. This rapid rate of conduction is called saltatory conduction. Myelinated axons are rare in the autonomic nervous system and absent in the nervous system of invertebrates.
Demyelination destruction or loss of the myelin sheath typically results in diverse symptoms. The symptoms are determined by the functions normally contributed by the affected neurons.
Damage to the myelin sheath disrupts signals between the brain and other parts of the body producing a range of symptoms. Symptoms are often heterogenous - dependent on pathophysiology of demyelination - differing from patient to patient, and have different presentations upon clinical observation and in laboratory studies.
Symptoms of damaged myelin sheath:
- Blurriness in the central visual field that affects only one eye; may be accompanied by pain upon eye movement
- Double vision
- Odd sensation in legs, arms, chest, or face, such as tingling or numbness (neuropathy
- Weakness of arms or legs
- Cognitive disruption including speech impairment, memory loss
- Heat sensitivity (symptoms worsen, reappear upon exposure to heat such as a hot shower)
- Loss of dexterity
- Difficulty coordinating movement or balance disorder
- Difficulty controlling bowel movements or urination
- Fatigue
