What is the thinking or experience any of you on this site have had with the Swank diet? I discovered it a few months after I was diagnosed 12 years ago, and I stayed with it with good results for three years; however,eventually I started eating chocolate again and stopped counting fat grams. I definitely went downhill after that even though I have never gone back to eating large amounts of saturated fat. Dr. Swank has had great results with people who really eat no more than 15 grams a day of saturated fat and add olive oil and omega 3 to diet. I am trying to get myself mentally ready to get back on the diet. I could use some support if anyone else wants to try it. Oh, by the way, Dr. Swank says don't take the ABC drugs.

Avonex, betaseron, and copaxone were called ABC when they were the big three drugs. Now there are more. I only used Avonex two months, and was not sold on it even then. I quit because I started being seriously spastic and take nothing since then but zanaflex for spasticity. I wrote in another discussion that even that is better now. I believe ief you can really follow Swank's diet you don't need the drugs, but it is hard if you love chocolate and cheese. He has a website and a great book that explains it. I wish I had a link. I'll look it up and add it.
