Rating:  - This works for MS and weight loss
My father was diagnosed with MS around 90 maybe a little later. All I know is shortly after we found this book. My father was very active but grew up eating whole dairy foods and fating foods. We were healthy eaters and did not buy pre prepared food. We had decent sleep and yet he still had all the symptoms. The doctor gave him a year to five years to live and was told he could try this and it "might" work. The odd thing is that we all went on the diet lost weight, and he has been symptom ... Read More
Rating: - Worth while
This book is very well written. It includes case studies and various experimental/anecdotal observations that seem to ring true. I believe controlling inflamation in MS needs to be a full time focus. Dr.Swanks program is stringent but has had a lot of success.
Rating: - My experience with this book and with MS
OK, I will be straight with you: it is hard to really give much credit to any of these books peddling a free, natural, and healthy cure since the cause of MS is not really known, no one is really sure how it works, and there are no rules about how exactly the effects will manifest in someone since it is unique to everyone depending on where in your brain the lesions show up.
Whew, now I have the hard rules out of the way. These ideas may be hard to hear, but that is the way it is, ... Read More
Rating:  - Good, but outdated
Diet advises have come a long way since then. Yes, low fat is good, but there is more to that.
Besides that I found the book to be a little too technical and somewhat depressing. Words like " debilitating" and "degenerating" are abound and I just refuse to think of my body in those terms.
It went a lot in depth on what was believed to be the specifications on dis-ease, but again, research has come far since then
Rating: - Of Immense Help - Symptoms Gone For Decades
I was diagnosed with MS in the decade of the 80's. I had several bouts of optic neuritis, and then an MRI confirmed the diagnosis of MS. I immediately got started in investigating ways to help myself and I came across the Swank diet. I changed a lot of my eating habits, concentrated on following the diet, and made this a way of life. I also investigated food allergies (I have a wheat allergy and avoid this as well, also avoid most dairy products) and incorported this into my diet and have followed ... Read More
