People with Multiple Sclerosis (or relatives) please help...?

My husband has MS and we are trying to look into alternative solutions for this disease. So far the regular medical doctors are interested in 'maintaining' his current condition, but I wanted to know if anyone has learned to control it or manage it on their own. Has anyone had success with meditation, yoga, acupuncture or anything else. Thanks!

He suffers with paralysis and lesions (he is paraplegic now, with no recovery from the first attack) but has only relapsed twice in three years with recovery.

Hi DeeDee

Quick Action Plan for Miltiple Sclerosis


1. A healthy diet is essential for dealing successfully with MS. Emphasize a diet that is low in saturated fats and abundant in essential fatty acids. Eat plenty of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, oily fish, free-range poultry, and olive, flaxseed, safflower, and sunflower oils. Organic nuts and seeds, millet, mung beans, and mung bean sprouts are also recommended.

2. Avoid alcohol, chocolate, dairy products, eggs, fast and commercially prepared foods, fermented foods, hydrogenated oils and solid fats, margarine, red meats, salt, shellfish, sugar, and yeast, as well as hydrolyzed vegetable proteins and food additives and preservatives.

3. For additional benefit, supplement with four to ten teaspoons of unsaturated oils each day.

4. Recommended nutritional supplements for MS include B complex vitamins, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, beta carotene and other carotenoids, bioflavonoids, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, calcium AEP, magnesium, selenium, and zinc.

5. Other useful supplements include alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, DMSO, MSM, and the amino acids carnitine, choline, cysteine, glutathione, and methionine.

6. Test for and eliminate all foods and environmental factors that can cause allergies and sensitivities.

7. To reduce the burden of toxins in your body, consider a program of detoxification therapy, ideally under the supervision of your physician.

8. If you have mercury-containing dental amalgam fillings, have them removed and replaced with new fillings made from materials with which you are biocompatible.

9. Avoid exposure to unhealthy electromagnetic fields (EMFs) caused by electricity flowing through the coils of electrical wires and common home and office appliances and equipment, as well as cell phones and many types of motors. To protect yourself from unhealthy EMFs, consider wearing a Teslar watch and receiving weak pulsed magnet therapy.

10. Be sure to minimize your stress levels using mind/body medicine techniques such as biofeedback, guided imagery and visualization, hypnosis, meditation, and relaxation exercises such as deep breathing.

11. A restful nap each day can also help reduce your MS symptoms.

12. Regularly engage in an exercise program of gentle aerobics or walking to keep your muscles toned and supple.

13. To increase oxygenation of tissues and to stimulate the repair of myelin, consider hyperbaric

14. Learn about detoxifying the blood with colon, candidias, and liver cleanses. The key is to move the excess waste and toxins out of the body. Get nutrition and lots of water (I drink a gallon a day) in your system to heal the issue.

Best of health to you both

I have suffered with MS for 20 years and I don't know of any really good remedies for it. I do take acupuncture once a week as well as massage therapy once a week. Vitamin D is also good, I take that every day as well. If his symptoms are bad then maybe take mega doses of Vitamin D. Get lots of exercise if he is able. My symptoms get worse at the onset of a cold or flu but on a day to day basis my MS is tolerable. I guess I have learned to live with a lot of the symptoms but I thank God that I am not yet in a wheel chair. I hope he does well and is able to control it.

Hate to say it..but MONTEL SHOW has a lot of info and access...he has MS also...go to his page and you can read what's current and also E-mail him...he will get back to you....

I don't use any of the crab drugs but I use LDN (low dose naltrexone) which is a generic drug that has given me my life back. I also swim three days a week and eat a balanced diet. If you would like to research LDN just go to ldn.org. Hope this helps.
