The MS Recovery Diet
More than half a million people live with multiple sclerosis, yet conventional medicine still has little to offer patients. There is no known cure-and even recent breakthroughs in drug therapy do not work to control many of the symptoms or promise any degree of recovery. But there is an alternative to drugs that can stop and reverse the ravaging symptoms of MS-the MS Recovery Diet. As this book explains, there are five common food triggers that can set off the symptoms of MS-dairy, grains containing glutens, legumes, eggs, and yeast. Yet because MS is such a complex disease, other foods play a role, as culprits or aides. The MS Recovery Diet explains the background, science, and development of this treatment in one source for the first time, and shows readers how to pinpoint their specific problem foods and sensitivities. It also offers more than one hundred simple recipes, as well as strategies to improve digestion, balance the immune system, and repair the body’s myelin-crucial st… More >>

This book provides a multitude of invaluable information for those who suffer from M.S. The diet and recipes are excellent and easily explained. The history and personal stories sre inspiring. It’s wonderful to have these tools to control M.S. for those of us who suffer from it!! This book is a God-send! Thank you Judy and Ann!
The authors have something helpful to share, and its a gift to MS readers. They have MS themselves, and describe their personal journeys of disease disability, then discovery and recovery, using dietary modifications. They inform us that the medical establishment currently falls short. There’s no money in dietary research. At least for some, there is new hope of recovery. I recommend this book anyone with MS who has the ability, will power really, to make some dietary changes. Then, if improvement results, educate the neurologists about this book.
I was diagnosed finally about 5 years ago. Since then I have read everythinng, including two or three cookbooks and several full length books on MS.
I found Ann Sawyer’s book to be accurate, up to the minute, and supremely hopeful. And the diet is specific enough to try at once. I am deeply grateful to the authors and all those who shared their experience and hope. I will be healthier in mind, body and spirit for the companionship in this book.
Phenomenal book. Gives direction and a lot of hope dealing with a disease where there is not a lot of hope given (especially by physicians). Enjoyed the personal stories, the recipes, opinions of the authors. Would highly recommend this book to those interested in getting well.
I have followed this recovery diet for two years and continue to live symptom-free. This life style change includes identifying food sensitivities, avoiding the known MS trigger foods (diary, grains with gluten, legumes, eggs, yeast) and eliminates most processed foods which contain free processed glutamate acid or MSG. I have learned that most of the trigger foods also contain hidden forms of MSG, which is a known brain toxin. I believe other diseases and health issues, such as Alzheimer, Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia, arthritis, seizures, ADD, obesity, diabetes, heart disease can be helped by changing one’s diet to include more omega 3’s from salmon, flax seed, fresh fruits and vegetables.
There is hope. A heartfelt thanks to both of these ladies for their courage to challenge conventional medicine.
