Wahl's Diet... Russ... I am a success story responding

[Guest guest]

Russ,

I read your posts and thought I might have something to offer.

I am truly sorry for the state your wife is in right now with her MS. I

understand that you are doubtful of diet having any lasting effects on MS. I can

tell that you care for your wife and are troubled by people who (in your

opinion) may or may not have MS claiming that they had found a miracle cure, and

oh-by-the-way buy-my-book.... then vanish. I get that. And I feel the same way

sometimes. But I am writing to tell you that my diet has evolved over the years

and is very restrictive, vegan-ish(very little animal protein), no dairy, with

tons of fruits and veggies. When diagnosed 10 years ago, I had a very poor

prognosis with aggressive disease. Long story short, I am perfect now. But I

must stay within certain

limits or my MS begins to rear itself. So not a cure, but a lasting remission

as long as I keep doing what I know works for me. And I do know for certain that

I have MS. Lyme, B12 deficiency, and other tests were done when I was diagnosed.

And and far as Wahls goes, I used to live in Iowa City and though I don't know

what tests were done when she was diagnosed,  we shared the same neurologist and

I cannot imagine him not doing those tests. My husband (also a doctor) worked

with her for a few years and he seemed to think that she was a good person, just

afflicted with a rotten disease. She just wanted to get better I think, like all

of us do. And when people saw what she had accomplished they probably encouraged

her to write a book, like people have told me to. I share my story whenever I

can, I just have no desire or time to write it down.

So the reason I am writing... to offer a success story to anyone who might have

just been diagnosed

with aggressive disease who wants to give diet and a few supplements a good

try.
