Transverse Myelitis, NIH admits possible vaccine complication

[healthinfo6]

Someone who has this and now wheelchair bound was inquiring about alternative treatment.
Transverse myelitis is a neurological disorder caused by inflammation across both sides of one level, or segment, of the spinal cord. The term myelitis refers to inflammation of the spinal cord; transverse simply describes the position of the inflammation, that is, across the width of the spinal cord. Attacks of inflammation can damage or destroy myelin, the fatty insulating substance that covers nerve cell fibers. This damage causes nervous system scars that interrupt communications between the nerves in the spinal cord and the rest of the body.
Symptoms of transverse myelitis include a loss of spinal cord function over several hours to several weeks. What usually begins as a sudden onset of lower back pain, muscle weakness, or abnormal sensations in the toes and feet can rapidly progress to more severe symptoms, including paralysis, urinary retention, and loss of bowel control. Although some patients recover from transverse myelitis with minor or no residual problems, others suffer permanent impairments that affect their ability to perform ordinary tasks of daily living. Most patients will have only one episode of transverse myelitis; a small percentage may have a recurrence.
Anyone know of homeopathic help on these type of conditions? Any remedies that have affinity for myelin sheath?
Shockingly, NIH mentions rabies and chicken pox vaccines as possible causation for this.
Guess they plan on funding reductions by implicating the all powerful vaccine. I thought a gov't agency would support a vaccine can do no wrong philosophy.
Researchers are uncertain of the exact causes of transverse myelitis. The inflammation that causes such extensive damage to nerve fibers of the spinal cord may result from viral infections or abnormal immune reactions. Transverse myelitis also may occur as a complication of syphilis, measles, Lyme disease, and some vaccinations, including those for chickenpox and rabies. Cases in which a cause cannot be identified are called idiopathic.
Transverse myelitis often develops following viral infections. Infectious agents suspected of causing transverse myelitis include varicella zoster (the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles), herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, influenza, echovirus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis A, and rubella. Bacterial skin infections, middle-ear infections (otitis media), and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (bacterial pneumonia) have also been associated with the condition.

This isn't shocking at all - they must report adverse reactions and this is one where they can link the inflammation of the s.c. to the vaccination.

It is well known amongst these govt agencies that vaccines cause horrific reactions and death. So when you
get this mild statement where the vaccine cause is buried among so many other causes, it should be read as
a red flag on vaccines big time. The data must have been buzzing like a neon light that they could not turn off
for them to even report it at all.
Nonetheless it is good to keep this information on hand and add it to the growing list of similar reports or info leaks!
