Product Description
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. PBut 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. iThe MS Recovery Diet/i 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 steps toward healing the body. PBoth of the authors, Ann D. Sawyer and Judith E. Bachrach, who had been diagnosed and disabled by multiple sclerosis, have experienced incredible recovery on the diet. Within the first three months on this program, Sawyer was able to stop the disease progression and begin to walk short distances with an even gait. Bachrach, whose health has been declining because of MS for thirty-eight years, regained feeling in her toes in one week and after one year on the diet, has stopped taking all medication. This book shares the treatment plan that has dramatically changed their lives, and the lives of others who have discovered it. With inspiring personal stories throughout, it offers real help-and hope-for sufferers of MS.

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.br /br /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.

Great book September 9, 2008

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.

MS Recovery Diet September 5, 2008

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 wish they were more specific June 15, 2008

I really enjoyed this book and I am grateful that this book is available at all, when you are faced with an incurable disease the most important thing is finding some hope and gaining some control back over your life.br /br /This book is great for that.br /br /I was really hoping for more specific guidelines though, for example.br /br /How to prepare for an ELISA test (if this is possible)br /Where to get an ELISA test done.br /Start off with X,Y,Z suppliments.br /Eliminate one food group at a time.br /Common alternatives to common (problem) foods are ...br /Staying strong and avoiding temptations (there are a few excellent ideas on this in the book but I felt that they could have been restated towards the end of the book)br /br /I understand that this information IS in the book but I just felt that after reading it I needed more guidance.br /br /Changing your diet is hard enough - when you have such a deeply compelling reason for changing it I feel that one cannot have too much guidance in acheiving it.

I feel extremely lucky to have found this book. When I was diagnosed with MS in October 2007, I instinctively became very careful with my diet because of past health problems due to food (Celiac's,food allergies sensitivies). br /br /But there were things I didn't know in regards to food MS. This book explains why diet is important how different foods effect MS. I also enjoyed reading all the personal case histories of real MS patients who have tried this diet.br /br /I plan on staying on this diet the rest of my life. (I want to do everything possible for me to achieve the best possible outcome, so I also take one of the MS drugs (Avonex) in addition to this diet.) br /br /Also, this book explained more to me about the disease of MS than all the neurologist's I have seen put together. I am deeply grateful to Ann Sawyer Judith Bachrach for writing this book...Thank You!
