Diet Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis

Bonnie - Last week, Jane Brody of the New York Times wrote about the link between consumed foods and how it affects those with multiple sclerosis. She refers to a new book called the "MS Recovery Diet." In vulnerable people, some of the digested proteins stimulate an immune response that causes antibodies to mistakenly attack the myelin. The goal of this diet is to know which foods cause this reaction and to take it away from consumption. A reduction in the degeneration of myelin sheaths would result. Other foods that one with MS should look out for are grains with gluten, yeast, eggs, and other specific food sensitivities an individual may have.

Uh, Jane, this was discovered over 30 years ago! It is greatly unfortunate that MS doctors have not included this information in their medical libraries. However, it has been part of my protocol for MS patients for 23 years.
