Abstract
A method for treatment of neurodegenerative disease conditions stemming from multiple sclerosis, aging, autoimmune diseases and fibromyalgia. A compound effective to increase neuronal metabolism of histamine to a histamine Hagonist is administered in an amount sufficient to stimulate production of cyclic AMP at a level which is sufficient to maintain myelin against undergoing self-degeneration. The compound is selected from the group consisting of histamine M-methyltransferase, monoamineoxidase-A, monoamineoxidase-A agonists and histamine Hantagonists. The histamine M-methyltransferase may be administered to increase neuronal metabolism of histamine to tele-methylhistamine, whereas the monoamineoxidase-A or monoamineoxidase-A agonist may be administered so as to increase neuronal metabolism of telemethylhistamine to an Hagonist. Separately or in conjunction with the others, the histamine Hantagonist may be administered so as to inhibit metabolism of the telemethylhistamine to an Hagonist, thereby increasing metabolism of the telemethylhistamine to an Hagonist. The increased histamine Hagonist levels reduce demyelination and the symptoms that are associated with these conditions.
