Nature Therapy: Part One: Evidence for the Healing Power of Contact with Nature
Human enjoyment of natural environmental settings is common to all cultures. It is a complex, evolutionary, psychophysiological response with notable potential to positively impact both physical and mental health of individuals and populations. Four decades of research have produced a large body of empirical and experimental studies demonstrating the benefits of contact with Nature. A sufficient evidence base now allows for meaningful systematic reviews and meta-analyses to begin to guide health recommendations. This is the first of three articles to review the state of the science on the potential health benefits of contact with Nature, covering Visual Nature, Forest Therapy, Gardening, Residential Greenspace, and Blue Space.
Natural Therapies to Support Myelin Health
Several natural approaches that may promote remyelination and adaptive levels of NGF in people living with MS.
Hormone Therapy and Multiple Sclerosis
Communication between brain neurohormone and endocrine hormone production is central to neuroendocrine integration.
A Brief Review of Natural Therapies to Support Immunomodulation
Immunomodulation is the process of regulating the immune system to ensure it responds adaptively. Normally, the immune system self-regulates through mechanisms of physiological homeostasis. However, in several health conditions, including cancer and auto-immune disorders, the self-regulatory mechanism is unable to function optimally.
Updates in Stem Cell Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis
It’s been known for a while that polyphenols are important antioxidants. Now, an increasing number of studies suggest that dietary polyphenols have potent anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties as well.
Updates in Neurology: The Neuroprotective Role of Dietary Polyphenols

Parkinson’s Disease: Possible Mechanisms for Nutritional Approaches
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is among the most common chronic neurodegenerative conditions, affecting 1% of those over 60 years of age, and involves motor and non-motor impairments. The purpose of this review is to highlight various nutrition and supplement interventions that may positively affect disease onset and progression, and that warrant further research.

What Is the Best Diet for Patients with Multiple Sclerosis?
The etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is still poorly understood, but it’s likely that a complex interplay of both genetic and environmental factors contributes to its development. Interestingly, no definitive evidence has been found for a genetic association with the clinical course of MS, suggesting that environmental factors might play…
