Amen to that. It's amazing what people don't think about when it comes to

what they eat. I had to stop a pregnant woman in my husbands practice from

drinking a diet red bull. At first she wasn't listening until I told her that I

am convinced that aspartame was the cause of my ms. Then my 7-year-old had to

tell her not to fall for the sucralose ingredient as well because it is splenda.

Sad.

Okay question. So then are we thinking that Splenda is a problem for MS? The

reason I ask is my husband is also a diabetic and sugar is definatly out for

him. He started using splenda 4 years ago and almost a year ago the " MS "

started. I put MS is quotes as that is what we have been told is what he has but

I notice that when he doesn't have dairy products he has a better day the next

day. When he eats dairy he has alot of problems the next day. When he has

certain foods he has more problems the next day. I have been monitoring this and

noticing things that come up. I am limiting these things without his knowledge

to see how they effect him. I'm the cook so it's easy for me to do it. I'm

working on making a diet plan that works for him and makes him feel  better

even if it doesn't cure him if it helps him it's worth it. So we are limiting

his dairy to extremly low amounts (we're talking less than one ounce of cheese

in 3 days). He will be taking calcium

supplements to insure that he gets the calcium he needs. We will also be adding

more dark leafy greens to our diet the problem there is he is not use to eating

them so it will be a slow add. I have noticed that alot of MS diet seem to be

leaning toward the Paleo diet but that is not suppose to be healthy for you as

it misses alot of vitamines and I am concerned about the amount of fat involved

in that plan. I also have to make sure that I don't let the glucose get out of

hand and keep the meals balanced enough to keep me healthy as well. The grains

are kept in check and within a reasonable serving size and are whole grain.

Breads are again minimal. We choose things like Brown rice or wild rice over

bread. When we do have a sandwhich its half a sandwich on whole grain bread with

a huge bowl of veggie soup. The oils used are heart healthy oils (olive oil is

the standard oil). We eat raw veggies in the form of salads. We don't eat much

red meat. Maybe once

a month. Lots of fish (Deep Sea fish). Chicken is a biggie here too. Mainly

chicken breast trimmed of all fat.

His glucose stays in control provided we follow these guidelines. When his

glucose is in check his MS seems to be lessened as well. So is splenda a problem

or is it just asparatame?

Thanks

Donna in VA

All artificial sweeteners are problematic. The fool the body and do

cellular damage.

Here is a partial list of articles by Dr. Mercola explaining the dangers of

artificial sweeteners.

I have Diabetes 2. I use pure stevia extract (not that crap you can buy in

the local grocery store) and occasionally local honey as my only

sweeteners.

I hear what you're saying Donna - definitely! Have you looked into the BBD (Best

Bet Diet) at all?It has worked fo so many (me included) and cuts out things like

dairy and all processed foods and leans towards only consuming what is more

'natural' for us and has been proven to react well for people who've been dxd

with 'MS'. It's not a HUGE change really for people who already eat truly

healthily (as it sounds you're already doing) and focuses on ensuring that all

the digestive and modern problems created by today's sugary and processed diets

are sidestepped. Aspartame has been proven to be a terrible thing - you're far

better off using Stevia to sweeten things. It is good for the sugary taste but

without the chemicals which cause the many problems. Splenda isn't such a gd

sweetener to use - it's a bit on the 'processed' side of the street. There are

lots of documents and articles which recommend against it - I'd always stick to

the stuff which is a bit more 'natural'.....and I can only get it from

healthfood shops that I trust in Australia when I'm home there so for me, that's

always a good sign to me! A good site to investigate the diet I suggested is

www.direct-ms.org or even the MSRC site at www.msrc.co.uk. Both can give you the

run-down on it and suggest recipes, changeover steps and other ways to embrace

it in your lives.Your husband is so lucky to have you helping him fight this

fight - Diet truly is one of our greatest weapons against 'MS', I'm sure of

it.

C, I think you're moving along a good line - a more alkalising diet is always a

good thing. I've heard this from many whose opinion I respect and I'm looking

into things this way too.I started with the BBD and am investigating what exists

at a different level of healing for me now too. :)Good luck with it - I think

you'll do great! :)You know, I think everyone should pay more attention to what

fuel they put into their bodies - we expect so much of them forgetting sometimes

that they need TRUE fuel (REAL food) and that today's Supermarkets and food

companies aren't producing and selling products aimed truly at our health (even

though their packaging says they are).

I am glad to read you are finding things to eat and what not to eat. I am

almost a week solid into following the modified Wahls diet and stuff. I also am

trying to work with the five levels of healing. On top of that I am monitoring

my ph levels thru RBTI testing. I have someone who helps me interpret the RBTI

results.

I actually started looking into BBD before I ended up doing multiple hospital

stents. The good thing is they don't believe I have MS. I started having MS

symptoms though. Left foot drop. Left side paralysis. Lots of stroke symptoms.

One sclerosis on my brain. Numbness on my left side. But I also have migrains.

So we are trying to figure me out as well. We tried stevia before and it

agrivated his glucose. The doctors recommended splenda. So we switched to that.

To date he has gone from eating lunch at fast food restruants to eating food

from home and 99% of all foods from home. I am to the point that even our bread

is made from home. We are looking a going gluten free again. We did that for a

while but stopped when the MS started. I was also vegan until that started as

well. We were eating alot of soy products which makes me wonder if that wasn't

something that brought this on. He was never a soy eater until I went vegan.

Kinda makes me feel guitly but we

did that to make some of my health issues go away. Which it did and thankfully

some have not returned. I truely believe that food has alot to do with a

majority of the health issue we have. There are so many chemicals in our food

supply that it's a wonder that any of us are truely having any form of health.

We are planning to have a small garden when we move back to SC just can't do it

in the apartment. No Room. We choose the best possible quality and am excited

that they will be opening a Whole Foods in Virginia Beach sometime soon as they

tend to have more healthy selections.

When they were first trying to figure out what he had they messed everything up

royally. They at one point thought he had brain cancer in which case he wouldn't

have survived. We promised each other that we would fight this together and

would make the best out of what ever time we have left and todate we have done

well to get this under control. I believe we have slowed the process and are

working on minimizing his relapses. He has had many of them in the short time

since his diagnosis. It is in his spine and brain and so far it seems the spine

is more active. We are working on keeping the body moving to keep the

circulation and muscles going. There are good days and bad but we will not give

up.

I believe that he has the ability to have many many more years if we can find

the right combination of medication (whether crab or herbal), diet, excerise and

spiritual therapies. We just have to not give up.

Splenda is as bad or worse...Use " Stevia " , a natural herb or plant sweetener.
