The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book

Summary: Miracle Cure...
Review: This isn't a miracle cure for the masses because most people either won't believe it, won't try it or won't stick with it. The research and documentation are extremely extensive. Not many remedies in any disease can boast a 33 year study with a nearly 90% success rate.
I have been on this diet for 2 1/2 years, starting a month after my diagnosis on advice of my personal physician, who had met Dr. Swank.
People only know I have MS when they question why I won't eat something. I keep my Saturated Fat level under 15 grams a day, closer to 10 most days. Since my original symptoms have gone away I have had no other problems.
My suggestion to you is don't knock it until you've tried it. Dr. Swanks book is a God send - Thanks!

Summary: This diet works!
Review: When initially diagnosed a bit over a year ago I was reccomended this book by an MS chapter in my area. Since my husband is keen on diet and I was not, I bought it and began to follow its protocols just in case it might help. Well, it has really helped. One week I went off the Swank diet thinking 'Hey, I ate whatever I wanted for decades, why keep this up?'. Guess what? My symptoms worsened immediately! So back on the diet I went and have stayed. Of course, to satisfy my nuerologist I also do Avonex and do have a daily regimen of vitamins but the Swank diet is the key component. It keeps me fine, fine, fine.
