A new book out today might be the extra help that those suffering from Multiple Sclerosis are looking for. The MS Recovery Diet published by Penguin Books claims to be able to halt and even reverse the effects of MS through diet.
"By not activating the immune system, the cascade of events-the immune cells crossing the blood-brain barrier, then attacking the myelin causing disruption of nerve conduction, resulting in symptoms-is stopped. This allows healing and repair. MS can be reversed, a respite not offered by conventional means," says Ann Sawyer, psychotherapist and co-author of The MS Recovery Diet (Avery/PenguinGroup USA).
Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic, degenerative illness of the central nervous system, can have symptoms ranging from minor to full disability. The diet focuses on stopping the immune cells from activating by not eating certain foods. The five normal triggers are wheat and grains containing gluten, dairy, eggs, legumes and yeast.
