I have two books that I wish I received immediately after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Reason being that both of these authors, who are doctors, experienced MS themselves. Not only did they experience it but it progressed much faster for them than it has for me AND they used their access and skill to research ways to deal with it, or “overcome” it if you will, naturally.
Their books and research, have confirmed close to the same things that my amateur research and experience of being diagnosed with MS for the past ten years have brought me to which is pretty close to a Paleo Diet. I am currently reading this book to learn more about that as well:
I am happily eating grass-fed meat, organic produce and increasing the amount of greens and fish in my diet as well.
If you aren’t familiar with My Path to Paleo it started with a relapse followed by allergy tests…I learned that I was allergic to things that I thought were healthy like eggs, whole grains, dairy etc. I also learned I was terribly deficient in a wide variety of nutrients. I would recommend to anyone who is considering taking a similar path to start there…learn what your body is allergic to an responds to as well as what your body is in need of. We are all unique individuals and need to ensure we are treated as such. Many of my symptoms disappeared after taking this approach including L’Hermittes, tingling, and more.
As you know I am the founder of MomsWithMS.com which is a private online community for mother’s diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, also the public MomsWithMS.org…here are some of the book recommendations compiled from them (purchases benefit the websites):
I have also taken some other approaches that are not diet related to help me that I will discuss in a follow up post. I consider my path to dealing with MS to be focusing on my wellness and optimizing that rather that “fighting” dis-ease.
Love to you along your journey….I’ll answer questions as well as I can in the comments below.
