I just started with Ann Boroch. I have had MS for 10 years. I was on an Ayurvedic diet and had an Ayurvedic doctor from who I was receiving herbs and advice. I switched to Ann after reading her book and due to the fact that she specifically treats MS. She changed my food even more.This summer I recently located a great recipe for polenta and enjoyed it tremendously. Then Ann said I cannot have corn therefore no polenta. Too much sugar content in the corn. I just thought you might like to know. Cindy in Memphis I was reading Jill’s email just now 11 months later. I just started with Ann Boroch.

I will be putting in more garden beds in the spring, and would like to know what veggies I should put in. I haven't read anything of what your diet is, and living on a fixed income, the health stores and all but a few supplements are beyond me. Still, I do the best I can; raw sugar for my coffee, RealSalt, mined in Redmond, Utah--it has trace minerals the body needs and IS sea salt, albeit from millions of years ago, just untouched by human pollutants, and now deep underground. I am at a crossroads; I have been receiving treatment from the VA (I'm a disabled vet)and have been put through hell with their medications, complete to developing squamos-cell carcinoma as a known side effect. Now they've 'out-sourced me to the group doing the Tysabri research, yet they want me to try the new pills coming out. Hmmm, possible brain infection or possible blindness. At this point I'm ready to once again stop all treatment, because I have nobody but me, and cannot risk any more devastating side effects. I'll be adding your site to my favorites list as soon as I figure out how--I'm an old soldier and techno-idiot, but I'll manage; I almost always do. I hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for the work you do. In peace and prosperity, Elizabeth I just discovered your site today, and it seems you might be someone who could answer a question.

I'll try the cream of brown rice soon. I am taking some good supplements (fish oil, vit. C, CoQ10, JuicePlus, and obviously some antifungals, etc.), and I REALLY wish I could see Ann, but I'm in NC, all the way on the east coast. It would be so difficult for me to get out there. I wish she still did her phone appointments, but I've been told that she doesn't anymore. I have gleaned LOADS of inspiration from her book Healing MS, though. I keep it by my bed always for easy reference! I'll just keep plugging away and try to maintain patience!! Thank you! sally Thank you so much, Karen, for the info!

are you taking supplements? this is key. it’s expensive but so worth it. are you working with ann boroch? if not, i highly, highly recommend a session with her. she will put you on a supplement regimen that will absolutely make an impact. her site is http://www.annboroch.com.

have you tried LDN?

are you nourishing yourself in the other areas of your life?

hope this is helpful.

I'vd been on the diet for almost 4 months now. I've been eating oatmeal, but I don't think I should be. boo. Does anyone have a suggestion to sub for that? It was my only creamy food! I had a small positive result 3 weeks after I started, and I've been going downhill ever since. In the last few days, I've had to go back to using my walker, which is obviously not fun. I just hate having these down times, since I don't know when or if they'll go away. (I know you all understand that feeling...) I need a cheerleading section with me at all times, telling me to keep going, not give up!! ;) Good luck everyone! Chin up! I can't wait to see another positive result from my work, no matter how small. I hope it's soon.... sally *sigh* MS is so hard to deal with. I’vd been on the diet for almost 4 months now.
