This is a great article, and I highly recommend reading it. I have had MS for 23 years and have been able to manage my disease through diet & lifestyle. I also have a PhD in nutrition and research the impact of diet on MS.
What is very interesting is the most effective diets for MS have a few things in common. The first is the limitation on processed foods. The second is the emphasis on diets promoting a lean body... usually through calorie restriction. The third is an increase in vegetable consumption.
Ruth, with your background, do you see any negative impact of maintaining the 3 day fasting, 4 day eating cycle permanently? I always tend to go 'more is better', not always true.
Thanks for your view,
Mark
Three months after I did the fast I have begun to notice small changes. I have been able to shuffle along without crutches or a cane for a short distance, up to 70 feet so far, I haven't been able to do this since April of 2014. Not sure if this is related to the fast, but I am pretty excited about any improvement for however long it may last.
The improvements that I have been observing have mostly gone away. I had managed to "walk" up to 160 feet but now I am back to not being able to go 5 feet. Hope I can get some of that ability back. It was great while it lasted.
