When our son received the devastating diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in 1995, it felt like we had been thrown into the middle of a stormy sea. Having been a research scientist for 30 years, my husband Ashton plunged into the scientific literature for MS to determine the most likely factors which cause MS and to use this information to develop an effective therapy for our son.
In our research, we discovered abundant scientific evidence that indicates that various nutritional factors potentially play major roles in the onset and progression of MS. Strangely, this information was not being made available to persons with MS by doctors, nor by established MS charities.
Notably, many people are having great success in halting or greatly slowing MS with nutritional strategies; many testimonials are available. We are pleased to report that our son remains in excellent health. He has now started his own website, www.mshope.com, that explains the strategies he has used in order to stay healthy for the past 24 years.
My husband and I, with a group of others dealing with MS, decided to make this information freely available and established a federally registered charity which we called DIRECT-MS, short for DIet REsearch into the Cause and Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis.
Our charity is dedicated to providing reliable, science-based information on the role that nutritional factors play in MS to allow those affected by MS to make an informed decision on whether or not to use nutritional strategies for managing the disease and preventing it from occurring in loved ones.
We hope you enjoy and benefit from the information and these recipes.
