Trigeminal Neuralgia Support Group

I am a patient advocate with the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association. For 10
years I have researched a new diet therapy that stops TN pain by limiting
saturated fat. Not all fats, just the excessive saturated fat in the American
diet. I made a presentation on the history and effectiveness of this diet at
TNA's 2004 National Conference at the Disney World Resort. To try this
diet send me your address and you will receive an eight-page report with
diet instructions, the diet's history, testimonials, and the amount of saturated
fat in 140 foods. For questions or help call Frank Sherwood at 248-642-7235 or email frank@sokolitz.com.

If you have typical TN and are currently in pain, or would be in pain if you
stopped medication, I would hope you would consider enrolling in a study I am conducting to establish the efficacy of this diet for patients with typical TN.

A patient's success story: Mrs. Churukian is a Michigan patient
with a thirty-year history of TN and has taken Dilantin, Neurontin, Tegretol,
and Baclofen. She had two glycerol injections and three radiofrequency
rhizotomies. All were temporarily successful. But ultimately the
neurosurgeon at the University of Michigan said nothing more could be
done to stop her pain. For health reasons MVD was not an option. She was
experiencing daily attacks of excruciating pain even while sleeping. The
diet stopped her pain in less than a week and at 86 she has been pain free
for 10 years. She does not need medication. There was also improvement
in blood pressure, cholesterol, weight loss and other health issues.
