Guest guest Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 The Swank diet for MS has been around a very long time (1977) and is probably missing a lot of the newer research, but clearly, diet plays a huge role in MS. (Swank, Roy Laver & Dugan, Barbara Brewer “The Multiple Sclerosis Diet Book†1959 1977 Double Day ISBN:0-385-23279-9) Some basics - get adequate Omega-3's. Check Vit D. Limited saturated fats. Basically a nearly vegetarian diet is recommended. One LEAP Therapist that has MS has used LEAP on approx 8 MS clients, and every one of them has halted their MS in it's tracks with no flares and no further advance of symptoms. So, it appears that maybe there are individual triggers causing symptoms. I've seen the McDougal Diet work wonders with MS clients as well - from wheelchair to full remission of symptoms and walking again.
