FERN (Polypodium leuctomos) Kalawalla
Kalawalla (Polypodium leucotomos) is a fern which is native to the rain forests of Central and South America. Kalawalla extract has been used for centuries in traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of inflammatory disorders and skin diseases.

While neither Kalawalla nor Rapuani are intended specifically as MS treatments they do have reported benefits.

Kalawalla is sold as a supplement beneficial for sufferers of Vitiligo, a depigmentation condition where there is a genetic effect that makes melanocytes susceptible to injury. Others believe an immune system imbalance may cause the immune system to identify pigments as a foreign substance and therefore destroy it.

The polypodium leucotomos extract is understood to regulate the immune system and restore it to a healthy, strong, balanced position.

A number of MS sufferers have reported improvements after taking this supplement.

Evening Primrose Oil (Gamma-linolenic acid / GLA)
The Evening Primrose plant (Oenothera biennis) contains oil-rich seeds from which Evening Primrose oil is derived. Evening Primrose oil contains 74% linolenic acid (LA) and 8-10% gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). GLA is an Omega-6 essential fatty acid that the body converts to a hormone-like substance called prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). PGE1 keeps blood moving smoothly. When healthy blood flows through the body, inflammation, high blood pressure, and some PMS symptoms are reduced.

In most healthy individuals, the conversion process (omega-6 to GLA to PGE1) happens automatically. However, about 20% of the population cannot convert omega-6 into GLA effectively, and therefore must supplement through diet. The highest quality Evening Primrose oil is extracted without hexane or other chemical solvents. Instead, it is “cold processed”, using the expeller-press method of extraction, which simply squeezes the oil out of the seed without heat.
