have been on the diet for over a year, though I've modified it and now follow the version offered by Dr. George Jelinek. since the radical dietary changes, I have not had another relapse, despite having 3-4 a year before that.

Try my best to eat lots of veggies and protein.

Water is key when keeping this musician's body "in tune." (sorry, couldn't resist the pun there)

Working better than any drug as worked.
A good sensible common sense eating plan that alot of people should follow regardless of m.s or not.....

This has worked wonders for me. The year before I tried it, had ON 2 times, and Drs wanted me to start an injectable... have had no relapses in quite some time now (like 2 years). Do still have periods of fatigue

I started this 2/07 because my wonderful husband said he would do it with me if I wanted to try it. It was hard at first but it is a very healthy way to eat, I will never go back to eating butter, margerine or any solid fats. I do miss cheese but we are eating more fish and lots of vegetables. It is a very heart healthy diet.
This is a great diet!

Not this specific diet, but a million others. I have cut out all processed foods and caffeine concsistently...but am always looking at other monsters...gluten, sugar, corn, tomatos, dairy, meat...
