Paralysis
Paralysis is defined as complete loss of strength in an affected limb or muscle group. The chain of nerve cells that runs from the brain through the spinal cord out to the muscle is called the motor pathway. Normal muscle function requires intact connections all along this motor pathway. Damage at any point reduces the brain's ability to control the muscle's movements. This reduced efficiency causes weakness, also called paresis. Complete loss of communication prevents any willed movement at all. This lack of control is called paralysis. The line between weakness and paralysis is not absolute. A condition causing weakness may progress to paralysis. On the other hand, strength may be restored to a paralyzed limb. Nerve regeneration or regrowth is one way in which strength returns to a paralyzed muscle. Paralysis almost always causes a change in muscle tone. Paralyzed muscle may be flaccid, flabby and without appreciable tone, or it may be spastic, tight and with abnormally high tone that increases when the muscle is moved. Paralysis affects an individual muscle, but it usually affects an entire body region. The distribution of weakness is an important clue to the location of nerve damage that is causing paralysis.
The types of paralysis are classified by region
Monoplegia, affecting only one limb; Dipolegia, affecting the same body region on both sides of the body (both arms, for example, or both sides of the face); Hemiplegia, affecting one side of the body and Paraplegia, affecting both legs and the trunk and Quadriplegia, affecting all four limbs and the trunk are the four types.
Causes
The nerve damage that causes paralysis may be in the brain or spinal cord (the central nervous system) or it may be in the nerves outside spinal cord (the peripheral nervous system).
The most common causes of damage to the brain are :
- Stroke
- Tumor
- Trauma (caused by a fall or a blow)
- Multiple sclerosis (a disease that destroys the protective sheath covering nerve cells) - Cerebral palsy (a condition caused by a defect or injury to the brain that occurs at or shortly after birth).
Metabolic disorder (a disorder that interferes with the body's ability to maintain itself)
Damage to the spinal cord is the most often caused by trauma, such as a fall or a car crash. The portion of nerve when damaged, causes paralysis to the concerned organ, it supports.
Motor neuron Diseases
Motor neuron diseases are a group of progressive disorders involving nerve cells responsible for carrying impulses that instruct muscles in upper and lower body to move. Motor neuron diseases are varied and destructive in their effect. They commonly have distinctive differences in their origin and causation, but a similar result in their outcome for the patient and severe muscle weakness. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), spinal muscular atrophy, poliomyelitis and primary lateral sclerosis are all examples of motor neuron diseases.
Causes and symptoms
Causes of many Motor neuron diseases are unknown and others have varying causes according to the specific Motor neuron disease. Most cases of ALS occur sporadically for an unknown reason; however up to 10% of ALS cases are inherited. Most spinal muscular atrophies are inherited. A virus causes poliomyelitis. Additionally, environmental factors and toxins are under study as causes or triggers for Motor neuron diseases.
Muscle weakness is the symptom common to all motor neuron diseases. Muscles of the legs are most often affected, leading to clumsiness, unstable gait, or lower limb paralysis. Muscle cramps and fasciculation (twitching) occur with most Motor neuron diseases. Facial muscles may also be affected, leading to difficulty with speech (dysarthria). Later in the course of some Motor neuron diseases, the muscles involved with swallowing and breathing may be impaired (dysphasia).
Role of Noni in Paralysis
Noni may help sometimes in regeneration of those partly damaged neuron by its immune modulating property. In paralysis or MND there is no medicinal treatment once the neurons get damaged. Powerful nutrients with rich nutritional supplements may help to regenerate those neurons.
Noni is a purely natural powerful product, packed with all nutrients. It helps in both preventive and therapeutic aspects of Paralysis. The key factors for chronic neurodegenerative diseases and the role of NONI to manager them are follows :
Toxins from the environment :
Toxins from environments and increased pollutions that all cause more oxidative stress in our body and hence increases the free radical load inside. In each moment, in the natural process of oxidation (turning oxygen into needed energy); our bodies produce toxins called "free radicals." Some molecules cause damage to cells and DNA, but are generally "mopped up" by substances called antioxidants before they can hurt us. Injury by free radicals is a major potential cause of deterioration in neuronal function in several neurodegenerative diseases. The central nervous system is the most vulnerable to oxidative stress simply because it utilizes very high amounts of oxygen, while exhibiting reduced free radical scavenging capabilities under stress. Laboratory data strongly suggest that multiple antioxidant micronutrient supplementations might be effective for both preventive and regenerative process of damaged neurons.
Metabolic disturbances
Lack of many useful and necessary micronutrients in our daily diet is the number one cause of many chronic degenerative and neurodegenerative diseases. Our daily diet is deprived of many essential micronutrients. Their deficiency results neurodegenerative diseases likes Paralysis, MND etc. A powerful antioxidant which contains all those essential micronutrients can be helpful for both preventive and therapeutic aspects of those neurodegenerative diseases.
The natural integrity of Noni is only part of the reason for its effectiveness. There are two additional reasons contributing to Noni's effectiveness for a broad range of conditions :
1.Unique Combinations of Substances
Noni has an impressive combination of ingredients.
NONI stimulates the immune system, regulates proper cell function, increases the ability of cells to absorb and utilize nutrients and regenerates damaged cells.
Probably the most unique ingredient is an alkaloid called xeronine. Xeronine has several important functions including regulating many proteins in the body, activating inactive enzymes and improving cellular function.
2. Synergy of its Substances
The many known and even some of the unknown substances, come together in a way that support needs of many of our internal systems, concurrently. As the word synergy implies, these substances work far better in combination than they do separately. Many of the ingredients in Noni are found in varying amounts. There seems to be no known food or herb with either the rich list of substances or the high amounts of key substances all put together in one super food.
