"HealthWise" Helps Shed Light on Multiple Sclerosis Through their

Educational Program

Through educational Public Television segments, “HealthWise” educates audiences on the key
issues associated with Multiple Sclerosis.

Fort Lauderdale, FL, October 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The world we know is full of medical dangers...
some of which can be prevented, some of which can be cured, and some of which are still being fought by
doctors, scientists, and the patients afflicted by their condition. While there are many degenerative and
debilitating diseases people suffer from, one of the most complex and widespread conditions that is still
being battled is Multiple Sclerosis.

To combat Multiple Sclerosis, one must first understand it. The disease is a chronic condition and is often
disabling, which stems from the body's own defense system attacking the fatty tissue that protects the
nerve fibers in the central nervous system. When this happens the brain and the spinal cord do not
communicate correctly, often causing both physical and cognitive symptoms, such as loss of limb use,
numbness, and sometimes blinding or paralysis. While most patients afflicted are diagnosed with what is
called “relapse-remitting” MS, which involves attacks and periods of symptoms followed by a recover
period, a smaller amount of the people living with the disease have differing progressive symptoms,
which is harder to treat and significantly reduces the expected lifespan.

Many scientists and pharmaceutical companies have been actively combating the disease by offering new
and advanced treatments and medications, while some organizations have provided both physical and
emotional support and rehabilitation to make sure that anyone who is living with MS can be happy,
productive, and live a normal life. It's important for the public to support the fight and learn more about
the disease, and that is why “HealthWise” will be working to produce informative and uplifting segments
with various organizations about the effects of this disease, and most importantly the stories of the people
who rise above it.

“HealthWise” is an independent program and has no affiliation with PBS. Their programs are
