I was diagnosed in 1973 and have beat the odds (25 years) so far! The first 10 years involved lots of meds and lots of exacerbations, and numerous hospital stays. My symptoms are the yo-yo type, and pop up unexpectedly and without any fanfare. In 1984 I discovered biochemical tissue salts and began my investigation into using homeopathy treatments, slowly. In 1997 I was told I had Type II diabetes, and since i am very sensitive to all medications I went on the lo-carb diet (Atkins) and brought all my blood counts to normal (blood sugar within 3 days, and the rest within 6 months) including cholesterol, LDL, C-reactive, and A1C. Any time I become sick, my symptoms return. So in 2003 (after 2 stent placements in my LAD after a lifting injury that dissected some plaque from my artery) I began taking Heart Tabs (cayenne/hawthorne berry mix) instead of statin drugs. Two years ago I added extra virgin coconut oil to my diet as a cooking oil. Last December, after another bout of infections) I read about the benefits of coconut oil as a dietary supplement. We added both the oil and coconut flour to our diets. Here, eight months later, I am feeling better than I every have! I use extra virgin coconut oil as a supplement (one tablespoon, 4 times a day) and for all cooking. My husband eats the same as I do, and he has lost 45 pounds since then! I still have my symptoms when I get stressed, and I just go to bed and rest for a few days. All my symptoms are still there, but the just don't interfere as much as they used to. Because of the diabetes issue, we have removed all gluten and wheat from our diets, and I strive to not eat foods that require I have extra insulin production in order to process. This is where the oil comes in handy: it is 66% medium chain fatty acids and does not require insulin to break down. The liver uses it immediately for healing energy. It goes directly there through the portal vien; not through the heart! It is a good food.

My brother and I both have MS and have been following the hunter gatherer diet and have both improved. I have never taken the doctors medication for MS and they do try making you. My brother is though alot worse than me, he is in a wheel chair and all, but has only gotten better in the 3 years he has lived with my husband and me. He says he would go into the hospital at least twice a year because of the MS. He is totally off of baclofen but the pump is still in his stomach. He tremors a little if you push back on his feet but other than that that's all he does. We went with the Roger Macdougall story right on the web . We experiment a lot only with what foods make us feel worse and which ones make us feel better. Sugar doesn't bother me but wheat ,milk seems to be the culprit for me, its all in what your allergic to. Experiment for yourself and feel better.
