Any diet LOW in saturated fat is VERY good at avoiding potentially harmful increases in GAMMA INTERFERON that would occur after consuming high saturated fat foods. Some high bacteria foods also may cause this increase in GAMMA INTERFERON. Some dairy products could do this. So a diet LOW in saturated fat and dairy products would be a VERY GOOD way to NOT AGGRAVATE the MS condition.

THIS IS NOT A TREATMENT!!!! JUST A GOOD WAY NOT TO AGGRAVATE THE MS CONDITION.

Taking foods and supplements that lower MMP-9s would be more like a treatment. You would also need to lower TNF-a, IL-12 and some other "things" to have an effective program. I doubt that food alone would have any great effect. It takes 10 cups of Green Tea day to get a therapeutic effect. I have two large mugs of a mixture of Green and White tea each day. Plus two Green Tea Extracts caps which equates to about 10-12 cups of Green Tea per day.

Lowering excess Glutamate is also something that diet can control. Some food additives can raise Glutamate levels and should be avoided. Some supplements will also lower glutamate levels.

The second stage of MS is neurodegeneration and excess glutamate does considerable neuron damage.
