Hello,

This is not a comment, just a note to say thank you for a nice blog (I did not find an email contact).

My wife was diagnosed with MS last year at 37. This was, no surprise here, a shock and this coupled with an international relocation, two small kids (of which one was starting school in a new country) = a big mess.

I read a lot about MS and its therapies (somehow unfortunately we both hold a PhD in science 5bio and physics) so we had the reflex to search and search and search) and this is how I got to your site.

Thanks for sharing news about this [censored][censored][censored] illness — we live in France so the news you publish are very relevant.

I saw that you did not mention the vitamin D buzz (last AAN meeting, http://www.webmd.com/multiple-sclerosis/news/20090428/high-doses-vitamin-d-cut-ms-relapses ) — we plan to give that a try this summer.

Thanks again!

Cheers,
Wojtek

Hi Caroline,
Love your website, it’s very informative. I was diagnoised in 1997 and have been on the Roy L. Swank diet ever since and it has served me fairly well. I did try Avonex for about 1 1/2 years,(My neurologist convinced me I needed the $3,000 a month shots!) but just don’t like the idea of compromising my immune system further so I stopped. Now I’m just following a diet suggested by Ann Boroch in her book, Healing MS, and supplementing that by using the tips out of another book, The Sugar Addict’s Total Recovery, and I’m feeling great and have had no recent exaserbations. My Candida overgrowth has cleared up as well as some of my physical problems, though not all. I still have balance issues and numbness in extremities. But those are probably still residual symptoms from frostbite and carpal tunnel syndrome.
I too spend hours on the internet researching all MS related articles. There are so many! I too try to stay with only medical sites, not ones with agendas to try and sell me supplements or drugs.
Keep up the good work and I’ll return often to read what you find.
Good luck on our journey of discovery!!
