Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Lolita, I've seen a lot of information about mercury toxicity/chelation and the MS connection, but not the diet. We are chelating our son 3 yrs old who has been on the GFCF diet for about a 1.5 yrs. I have a cousin who has MS and in my research for my son, I always look at anything that pertains to MS and pass that along to her. Good luck with your daughter!!!!

I don't think there's any research on it's effectiveness but my experience has been that many people with autoimmune disorders think they see some help from avoiding gluten...and perhaps casein. If it helps...even a bit Some links... http://www.direct-ms.org/roger.html http://www.paleodiet.com/ms/MSCordain.txt http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2001/03/010322074643.htm (this is quite inetesting) http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2000-04/UoMM-Rfiz-2804100.php There's more at Don Wiss' http://www.paleodiet.com/ms/ -------------------------------------------- Jay Bigam Marketing and Information Technology Manager Kinnikinnick Foods Inc. www.kinnikinnick.com Toll Free: 1- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 My understanding is that there maybe a connection between MS and autism. MS ( I understand) is an autoimmune disease and there has been lots of talk about the immune connections with autism. I have an aunt with MS but of course she is not on the diet but I will suggest that to her. I did also want to pass on I had station surfed the radio several months back BD ( before the diet)and heard about women who had breast cancer that were given dire prognosis but continued chemo anyway but with casein free diet. There was a significant number of them that went on to survived although they were classified as terminal. It makes you think more and more about you what you eat!
