I bugged doctors, finally my ear nose throat guy, finding nothing else wrong, sent me for the MRI, and when those results came in, he sent me to a neuro with a clue !

Swank Diet is a low-fat diet, which some believe is highly beneficial for those with MS. I've ate a low-fat (under 15 g daily of Saturated and Trans Fats), no red meat Swank-version diet that I just came up with myself, and I've been following that for over 2 years now.

There's a lot of literature out there about the actual Swank Diet, local library or Internets have Swank Diet info.
