9 Steps to Building Your Rock Star Medical Team & Healing Your Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is no joke. It’s not the common cold that’ll just go away on its own or a sore throat that you can take some antibiotics for and be done with it. Nope. MS is a game changer, and as such, it requires a game plan. MS is still a mystery to conventional medicine. They don’t know what causes it and they don’t know how to cure it. The best they can offer is to carefully track the progress of the disease with MRIs and physical exams, and to manage the symptoms and...

The Devil You Know

I’ll be concluding the 5-part series on beliefs soon, but I wanted to take today to address a question I received via email. The question comes from (I’ll call her) Penelope, the wife of a patient of Ann Boroch (Ann healed herself of MS many years ago and now works as a naturopath, helping people with MS and other chronic illnesses heal using diet and supplements.) The question was: It’s unnerving to go the homeopathic route because we’re not sure what’s going on.  My husband’s been working with Ann for the past 4 months. ...

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to my intimate partners,...

The Root of the Problem

A woman I went to high school with just became a doctor. I know this because she’s my Facebook friend and for months I’ve been reading her status updates about her crazy residency hours, though I haven’t spoken to her in years. A few days ago, her status read something like this: “I’ve been coughing since August. It totally interferes with my quality of life and interrupts my visits with patients. It’s keeping me up at night. I’m basically addicted to Ricola and Cepacol. According to my doc my vocal cords and throat look...

The “Think Big” Uprising

Which drug should I choose to manage my MS? (That’s a question from someone who’s thinking small.) When are they going to come up with a cure? (Another question from someone thinking small.) I read versions of these questions every day from people with MS all over the country and the world. And to them I say: If being healthy is what you want, you’re thinking too small. It’s time to Think Bigger. What does it mean to think big about MS? It means that what we deem possible for our health must go...
