Hi Lisa

Thanks. I guess the most important thing for people with MS to be aware of is that there is a huge evidence base about the lifestyle changes you can make that have been shown to make a difference to the progression of MS. In clinical trials, a very low saturated fat diet, supplementation with polyunsaturated fats, and high dose vitamin D supplementation have each been shown individually to have a similar or greater effect on reducing the rate of relapses in MS than the currently used disease-modifying drugs (DMDs). In the case of diet and vitamin D, this effect is quite dramatic. Even the manufacturers of the DMDs do not claim their drugs are particularly effective, just that they make a modest difference to relapse rate.

Combining these lifestyle factors with other changes that we know make a big difference to degenerative diseases, like exercise and meditation, results in a package that has the capacity to keep people with MS well for many, many years, free of the usual side effects of the DMDs. Indeed, the side effects of this package are less heart disease, cancer, blood pressure problems, depression and so on. Why wouldn't people want to give this a go?

In my case, I have been living like this for 11 years since diagnosis and have no significant MS symptoms any more, and have had no relapses. It really is something of a miracle. But more importantly, I have been teaching these methods for most of that time, and there are now many, many hundreds of people living the same way, with similar results. 

The book has the evidence laid out in great detail, along with all 700 references, but if you like, over coming months, I can put snippets of the evidence here on the website for members. There really is hope that people with MS can now live long, healthy and happy lives.

Be well
