To all the naysayers regarding nutrition and illness...how do you address Lorenzo's Oil? This "diet" regimen completely "cures" a fatal childhood disease. Absolutely nothing but nutrition! And this disease destroys the nerves. When one has high cholesteral, the first recommended change is "diet". There are so many, many examples of nutrition and illnesses, I could just go on and on! As I said, I DO believe in traditional medicine--truly I do! Had my daughter had to quit her MS meds, I would have been upset! But I also believe in homeopathic treatments only because they have worked for me on many occasions.
One final note...I do find it curious that those who do not believe in natural/nutrition options would even come to this forum??? I think people who get MS need to do everything they can to educate themselves about every aspect of this disease--even including medical research. I think you have to be an active participant and take as much responsibility as possible for your treatment, i.e., be as informed as possible! My daughter grew up with the "get sick, go to the doctor, get a prescription" routine. For those with MS, I think that can be counter-productive when no 2 doctors are going to tell you the same thing! I think you need to be as educated as possible about every possible differential diagnosis option there is. They still don't even know what this disease is--they only "think" it is an autoimnume "disease"!
But--I do not have MS. I just have a daughter with the disease. My heart breaks for all of you--sincerely! I pray for all of you and wish nothing but good things! Bless you all--you are the bravest people I know! With respect, Chris
