Interesting article.

SAN FRANCISCO-In a series of studies designed to define the role of dietary
macronutrients in the initiation of arterial inflammation that predisposes a
person to atherosclerosis, University at Buffalo researchers have found that
a high intake of glucose, or eating a high-fat, high-calorie fast-food meal
causes an increase in the blood's inflammatory components.
However, they also have shown that the antioxidant vitamins E and C can
nullify this inflammatory response.

If you have multiple sclerosis, will drinking wine make the disease worse? How about smoking? Or eating fish? How do daily choices affect your condition?

Researchers from Belgium and the Netherlands wanted to take an in-depth look at some of the most common daily life choices, and learn how they affected the progression of disease in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

The results were maybe not what you'd expect: Alcohol, coffee, and fish consumption ...

 Post subject: Thanksgiving , could use some proven recipes Fiona?
PostPosted: Thu Nov 24, 2011 12:11 am 
Hello

I know you really support this diet, and so does my mom but she hasn't had what she needs to do it right now. However she swears by it and made me buy The Yeast Connection. Since I'll be trying this, was thinking you might have some really good tried and true delicious "eats" for Thanksgiving if you have the time. Could use just some simple basics, too complicated or too time consuming. Thanks ...

 Post subject: sugar and increase in symptoms
PostPosted: Sun Nov 06, 2011 12:00 pm 
I always keep reading that refined sugar is bad for MS patients but failed to understand why. Why only "refined" sugar. Recently I noticed that whenever I was taking refined sugar in my diet there was an increase in burning sensation in my legs. Again it was hard for me to believe that sugar could have such an effect. Thought it to be linked to diabetes, but blood tests were always normal. Can someone give ...

Fish oil supplements 'beat psychotic mental illness'
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8490937.stm

Taking a daily fish oil capsule can stave off mental illness in those at highest risk, trial findings suggest.

A three-month course of the supplement appeared to be as effective as drugs, cutting the rate of psychotic illness like schizophrenia by a quarter.

The researchers believe it is the omega-3 in fish oil - already hailed for promoting healthy hearts - ...

As most of us probably do, I have spent recent hours cruising the Internet. With my interest in insulin (specifically, the excess insulin resulting from insulin resistance), you will not be surprised that I found the following article, Sugar – the Great "Food" Deceiver, and think it has much information relative to MS:

PostPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 11:13 am 
I work out and love dairy foods. I also have protein powders that contain dietary protein in it. Are these bad?

Also I take creatine which I hear is good for MS patients. Any info on that?

Not directly an MS story, but it may help strengthen the argument for diet's affect on MS:

 Post subject: Does a Gluten/Diary free diet cause worsening of mobility?
PostPosted: Thu Sep 01, 2011 10:24 am 
About 3 weeks ago i started a Gluten/Diar/Legumes/Red meat FREE diet,

as i read candida yeast overgrowth is not good for MS / CCSVI
and after a 'spit test' i clearly have candida

I also started taking a herbal anti-candida supplement called Candex around the same time. 2 days ago i stopped this but kmy legs are still weak/stiff so this must not have been causing the weakness.

i consume food which is free from ...
