Hi
I have always found diet and exercise really helpful in controlling my MS symptoms. Now I am writing a book about |MS for the Sheldon Press and would like to hear from anyone who has tried any of the MS diets. What did you think of the diet and did it help you?
My son, a medical doctor, was diagnosed with the most aggressive form of MS in Spring 2008 at age 32. He considers himself recovered, five years' later, having followed the remedies adopted by Professor George Jelinek, a doctor In Australia. Jelinek was diagnosed with MS in 1999 but has had no relapses since, following the remedies of diet and lifestyle developed by Professor Roy Laver Swank who worked at the Montreal Neurological Institute and later at the Health and Sciences University, Portland, Oregon, between 1948 - 87. Professor Swank's work and the record of his patients is easily available on the web: in all Swank examined about thirty five hundred MS patients and maintained contact with approximately two thousand of them for ten to thirty six years. His book on diet describes methods by which patients with multiple sclerosis can take the best possible care of themselves. Jelinek's experience of MS and the remedies he has developed out of Swank's work is, likewise, easily available on the web. If readers would like to know more, I can add other examples of the effects diet and lifestyle changes can bring about, but I wanted to write, as a newcomer to this forum of MS People, that my son is back at work full time; an MRI scan shows he has no lesions and he is able to play sport as he did before becoming ill. I am so grateful for this I can hardly express it.
Hi all. I'm not sure if I'm right to put this in this section and if im not I'm sorry. I feel like I still have thrush even though I took a tablet for it a few weeks ago. I'm considering an anti candida diet but it looks like everything I eat to get my calories up is a no no. Has anyone tried this and has success? How can I keep my calories up?
Thanks for reading.
Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me posting a question as I don't tend to come on here very often so feel a bit cheeky....anyway someone told me about a diet/lifestyle called the Blood Type Diet by Dr Peter D'Adamo and wondered if anyone had heard of it/had any experience of it? It sounds a bit bonkers to me but yet there seem to be quiet a few people with MS who have said it has done wonders for them.
I will try to post the link but my links never tend to work for some reason :S

Would love to hear anyone else's thoughts on it!
Thanks

Okay the way this diet works is that you have 4 food packs a day in the form of shakes, soups and food packs, mixed with water, 2-3 lts of water and 1/2 pint of skimmed milk allowance a day.I asked my ms nurse if it was safe for me to do so as I had done it before
I started this on Monday. So far going great the first few days are a nightmare carb withdrawals, but the scales are going down already. If I can lose 5lb by monday i will have lost 1 stone, on my first week. Obviously I wont lose that every week, but the idea is to lose a stone a month. I dont even need to exercise to lose the weight, but will be starting swimming as soon as i have lost 3 to 4, to feel confident in a costume.
