I was diagnosed just over a year ago with ms, but thanks to the fantastic interferons, and all the medical research being done into ms I didn't think I would need to do anything other that follow my drs advice to get well, and stay comparatively well. I was wrong. A year on, after numerous relapses, I realised I have to do something for myself, alongside the neurologist. So I bought this book.
Brilliant. The dietary approach is easy to follow, and the data is compelling - even to some of my very sceptical friends. It guides you towards other places (eg websites) which support the theories and findings, and gives very practical advice. It supports all that the drs offer, but wants you to take the disease on yourself. At worst this book is empowering, giving hope and a sense of actively doing something. At best, it could change the whole prognosis for an MS patient, and ultimately change the course of life, very much for the better.
It's great to feel positive again..... February 27, 2008

Having been diagnosed with relapse remission type Multiple Sclerosis in 2001, my neurologist recently recommended that I start a course of Beta Interferon drug therapy. After researching and becoming increasingly concerned about this option, I found George Jelinek's work. This wonderful book truly does offer you the tools required to "take control" of your illness and become far more than just a passive recipient of aggressive steroids and interferon drugs dished out by the medical profession. I have now cut all saturated fat from my diet and increased my consumption of healthy oils, take regular exercise (when I am able), do yoga, have learnt to meditate and feel positive about my future for the first time since I was diagnosed.

This book is well written, accessible and based on scientific research! It is a balanced account by a medical professional with the genuine ability to understand what it's really like.
Diagnosed at age 15, my MS was initially sensory in nature (relapsing/remitting). I was a 'passive sufferer' and with time it became more disabling until I only experienced 2 months of good health in a year (still relapsing/remit). Time to take action! I read the bulk of this book in a day and it changed the way I ate (and thought) from then on. The first year was a major struggle but now I wouldn't go back (2.5 years later)! It's a pretty tough slog, but I have found it truly worth it! I'm now 29 and at the healthiest I've been in YEARS! It's not possible to promise that all those with MS will experience the same benefits but, to be honest, this lifestyle/diet is truly healthy for anyone (even my active rugby-playing husband is happy to eat what I eat!).
Brillant book on MS! A must read for anyone with MS or MS in the family January 11, 2008

I have read George Jelinek's book (or should I say Bible) on MS and it gives valid hope to anyone who has been diagnosed with the disease. I also went on George's course and met him - he is a fabulous, sincere man who has a lot of medical expertise. He has outlined a program of the best way to deal with MS based on his extensive research and it is a program he is following himself. Many of the people following his program are achieving really good results! If you read one book on MS - make sure it is this one.

Although not diagnosed yet, believe that I have MS.
Whilst I wait on further neurologist appointment, am taking action NOW.
This book is excellent - have started the diet immediately and have become so positive.
No more dairy for me - why take something thats attacking my nervous system. And the fish oil supplements are helping too.
Cant thank the author enough.
Suggest you start at Chapter 15 first for Diet and Lifestyle changest and come back to the science bits after...
