Diet plays a HUGE role in MS and other disease as well, and of course... general wellbeing and health! have you looked into Dr Roy Swank's diet and the long study he conuducted? I wish he were still alive. he was a fastastic neuro. Also, Dr John McDougall recently conducted a study very similar to Dr Swank's.... results will be published soon.

I am a vegan. I consume only organic foods to avoid pesticides and GMO. My diet consists of fruits, veges, nuts and seeds. I NEVER eat any processed foods. I get blood checked every 6 months for b12, vitamin D etc. The sad truth is that meat eaters are just as likely to be b12 deficient as vegans. I LOVE the way I eat. It tastes great and is super healthy too!

More than anything, my biggest regret is not eating this way years ago. 5 months ago, after I learned what Monsanto is doing to the food in the US and Canada with their unsafe GMOs and dumping more and more pesticides which is now in the air, soil and water I drink!... I completely turned into a health nut. I was so infuriated by what is allowed to happen in this country, I started researching on ways I could turn food into medicine and eat for optimal health. Nothing aggravates me more than when I read such silly comment claiming "diet is just a placebo effect in MS". That is absurd and not so.

Google "foodbabe". This woman who started that site is amazing. She is taking on huge food companies and corporations head on. Chemicals that are BANNED around the world are being put into peoples food here in America. It is DISGUSTING. Take subway for example, they were placing carcinogens "Azodicarbonamide" (chemicals that cause cancer) into their bread. Chemicals in so many foods (even vitamins!) here in America (many chermicals that are banned everywhere else) ... it is just mind blowing. If this doesn't infuriate you... then I don't know what else to say. No wonder why cancer is epidemic and diseases are skyrocketing.
