I was diagnosed with MS in 2001. At first it wasn’t so bad but over the last five years + it has become more aggressive.

I went on a copaxone and had mitox treatment plan (and lost much of my hair) for 12 months but symptoms continued to get worse. I’ve been offered more ‘radical’ (to my mind) treatments of which the side effects worry me to be honest (campath or tysabri).

I also added 3.5mg LDN to my regime for the last 6 months but haven’t really notice any difference.

I’m thinking about going off all medication and trying a diet based treatment such as SWANK or Best Bet Diet. My body needs a rest and I’d like to give it a chance to heal itself if that were possible. I suppose the difficulty would be purchasing specialist food on a limited income.

Has anyone done anything similar and cured or at least arrested the progression of their MS through dietary means / supplementing their diet with vitamins / minerals etc?

*My symptoms are legs don’t work, cognitive issues and extreme fatigue
**Anon because I’m sure people will see me as mad, rejecting tried & trusted medications :), no offence, that may be what I have to return to eventually.

Thank you for any advice
