Ann and others, I just watched the 17 minute video. Very very impressive--but of course I could never eat 90% of that diet because I have Porphyria. We have to eat sparingly of sulfur and she wants us to eat lots of it. I do eat sulfur foods, as sulfur is in everything, including eggs (the exception to the Swank diet that I eat every day). But we with porph are to avoid the very high sulfur foods (I don't know why, I should find out, shouldn't I?)

I can't eat fish, although it's on the Swank, because ALL of it now poisons me, probably because of mercury in it. Some pooh-pooh this, but I find that even one tuna san will make me painfully spastic.

I do probably get some of the anti-oxidant support through taking Lutein eyes, a pill to fight macular degeneration, which my parents had (I don't have it). It is probably a great support for other things too, and I recommend it to anyone who values their eyes or who can't eat tons of the low starch veggies which this video recommends.

I do take many supplements and one of them is a multi-vitamin without iron from Megafoods, which has in it some of the things she recommends, such as Iodine and K, which I might not get in my diet--plus several other micronutrients which I don't know the value of. It is a great, easily digested product, entirely from food. Must be ordered.

I think that if this video supports any idea, it is that MS comes from varied sources and is helped, if at all, variously. Thanks for the video, Ann. The doctor is very impressive.
I do feel sympathy for those who try this diet and become worse on it, which I think a minority might do.
