Lilly, I have been on the Swank diet for over 25 years. I was a patient of Dr. Swank. I had already been dx'd with MS, but went to him because he was only 150 miles from me and I thought he must be wonderful to have discovered the diet. He tested my blood for MS, the way he usually did, and said I had it (he did not discount other tests). He WAS wonderful. He had further ideas about what caused MS (something lacking in the blood) but he couldn't get together enough funds to continue that research...he took my blood to include in the research, a lot of which was done in England.
I still follow the diet but I do eat more eggs than he suggested. I should cut back perhaps.
I am getting more symptoms now (occasional imbalance) but I'm old and have two other diseases. Like Erika, I am a person with multiple diseases. Big change from my pre-age-50 condition of having NO diagnosis for thirty years of symptoms. My Porphyria makes it impossible for me to take most MS drugs or any Polycythemia Vera drugs, so I have had radiation for the PV twice, and may again (to cut back platelets and red cells). I don't want the radiation, even though it has no side effects, because it IS radiation, but I may have to do it. One finally runs out of options other than going to Heaven (a very nice option).
