Matt is Ashton Embry's (founder of Direct-MS) son. Matt was diagnosed with MS 20 years ago. He's not selling anything....just offering some hope and healing.
Kudos to Matt for going public with his MS diagnosis and sharing this important information.
He's a film maker...so these videos are really well done.

Re: Meet Matt Embry--offering real hope
Cheer, great post. I came across Dr. Ashton Embry's Direct-MS web site almost 10 years ago when I was first dx. I even exchanged emails with him with some questions I had. I have been following the Direct-MS plan for 10 years now and feel great. The only thing I do differently is I do take Copaxone, my wife wanted me to take one of the meds, so I did. Dr. Embry advised me at the time if I was going to take a med Copaxone would be the way to go. I do like to still eat some sweets every so often, but in general no problem. I have not touched dairy in ten years. Lately I have been feeling good and exercising more than I ever have. Good luck to anyone who is considering starting the program, Dave

Re: Meet Matt Embry--offering real hope
Hi Dave---
Glad you liked Matt's web page. Also happy to hear you're still doing so well! Dr. Embry's Direct-MS site really helped me, too...and we've become good friends over the years. His program for Matt, which he put together after plowing thru MS research and history, is pretty rigorous. It took Jeff a bit longer than Matt to incorporate this lifestyle, but he's sticking to the program now, since he feels so much better (although he eats legumes, since he has not allergic reaction to them. More like Swank's program in that sense.) It's helped keep him jogging and working full days, now 8 yrs. since diagnosis. And Jeff, like you, is also on Copaxone.
Dr. Embry has incorporated more of the vascular aspects in his program, since Matt was treated for CCSVI.
I know this lifestyle seems impossible when taken all at once...but people can also gradually incorporate these changes. By eating less processed foods, more vegetables. By moving every day, in any way possible. By snacking on nuts or fruit, not chips or cookies. The science proves these changes really do make a difference.
It really does work. Hoping more people click on the videos and get inspired.
