MELAS natural cures

MELAS Definition

 Characterized in 1984, MELAS is the abbreviation for Mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes, which belongs to the family of mitochondrial cytopathies which include MERRF, and Leber's Hereditary Optic Atrophy.

MELAS Diagnosis

 Diagnosis is based on numerous indicators one of which is finding out the cause of lactic acidosis as MELAS sufferers tend to build-up lactic acid which causes the vomiting, fatigue, muscle weakness and abdominal pain. Another diagnostic indicator are the stroke-like episodes which is the distinctive feature of the disorder.

MELAS Treatment

 There is no known cure for MELAS which unfortunately is progressive and fatal; treatment is afforded to patients depending on what part of the body is currently affected.

MELAS Symptoms and Signs

 These diseases are basically caused by defects in the mitochondrial genome of the cell which is inherited only from the female parent although the disease can appear in both sexes.
MELAS Causes
 For the majority of cases, signs and symptoms appear in childhood after what appears to be normal development. Symptoms include a weakening and pain in the muscles, recurring headaches, vomiting, loss of appetite and seizures. The stroke-like events begin to appear right before the age of 40 and often involve hemiparesis (muscle weakness only on one side of the body), seizures, migraine-like headaches, vision defects. The "strokes" can eventually damage the brain leading to movement problems and even dementia.
