NEWS LETTER

THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW THERAPIES FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS is joining forces with SPA COSMETICS Ltd to promote the finest body and skin care products from the DEAD SEA.

The ASSOCIATION donates 50 % of its revenues from the sale of SPA COSMETICS Ltd to the support of MEDICAL RESEARCH in Multiple Sclerosis.

Situated 400 meters below sea level, the DEAD SEA is a haven of revitalisation .The hot springs which flow there carry the most vital and complete oligo elements . The components of the mud have a unique capacity to remain in "suspension", being thus able to absorb great quantities of water to enhance the suppleness and elasticity of the skin. The high level of magnesium and sulfur inhibit the proliferation of fibers and stimulate the immune system (Israel Journal of Sciences ).

A public health organization, the ASSOCIATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW THERAPIES FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS was created for the purpose of seeking possible cures for the multifaceted affectations allied to the genetic susceptibility of infectious agents. Several epidemiological studies have suggested the presence of a virus as a cofactor in MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, such as the coronavirus, the herpes virus or even the paramyxovirus.

Recently, several research groups have brought to light the presence of viral elements associated with a molecule which is toxic to certain cells in the central nervous system.

The January 2000 information specifies that the advances of research are presently directed toward the development of a cellular model, efforts which will eventually lead to identification of the causes of the production of certain levels of toxins affecting hereditary viruses. Such production could be stimulated by another virus, for example the herpes virus (type 6) which attacks the lymphatic system.

Important research in the development of diagnostic kits for MS is leading to discoveries in the use of purified and specialised antibodies. Such antibodies would permit researchers to confirm the existence of hereditary viruses. It appears evident that without an increase in our understanding of such viruses, medical research in MS cannot go forward.

SPA COSMETICS Ltd is a company highly respected by those who have benefited from treatments using its products, which contain the greatest concentrations of mineral slats from the DEAD SEA.
