No, I haven't, and I'm sorry if you have. There is NO diet that will reverse MS symptoms. People come along trying to sell you on one diet or another. It's best to ignore 99.9% of any diet advice you get about MS. Just my opinion...
Yes, I drink, buy alkaline water and I have special treatment in all my house water to take out all chemicals with filter mebranas and reverse osmose and reduce heavy water with salt. In addition I make fresh squeeze lemon water which makes the water alkaline, once a day. Our body produce acidy and it is necessary alkaline water to adjust our ph to reduce inflammation. Buy a book "Alkalize or Die".
About raw food, I am little lazy to eat vegetables then I blend spinach, dark leaf green, and other with almond milk. Its preserve all vital ingredients very necessary for our body. Cooking and microwave destroy many nutrients. But steam is perfect to soften for better digestion. We do not "process" fiber in our digestive system.
Sorry to disagree, Miriade , but everything that I have been told and have read says that there is no prescribed MS diet and that nothing reverses or cures MS. If this works for you, then great. But I make sure to have fiber in my diet or I develop digestion issues. And it doesn't seem to give me a problem.
And are your MS symptoms gone?
Hi Karen-x. Taking care of the quality of water I am drinking, avoinding all heavy chemical and toxics helps my immune system recover for sure. Unfortunately I was taking Tecfidera which cause to me lowering my white blood cells extremely low and I got infecction related,fungus sistemic. I recovered. My MS next step only will be cure when I start taking the more specific humanized monoclonal antibody target specifc anti CD-20 on B cell. Our immune system has memory, cure MS has to be direct. I am planning to use Ocrelizumab next. My obvios conclusion is since I am in so high tech medication which cost a fortune, why I going to continue intoxicating my body system with bad water, full of bad crap? Even a shower or cooking water have bad toxics. My disease is autoimmume and I do not want to add more toxics inside the body. This is why I decided to install the system for the entire house. The tap water taste so good, so light, and still have the electrolites necessary for daily function.
Sorry Miriade but your squeezing lemon juice into your water makes it acidic not alkaline. Basic chemistry. This alkaline water thing is garbage. It's another pseudoscientific con. Where does water go when you swallow it? Your stomach contains industrial strength hydrochloric acid and without it you would not be able to digest food. Also fibre is "processed" by our gut flora and fauna and our digestive system is designed to cope with fibre this way. A lack of it causes problems. People need to learn to think critically about the friutloopery peddled by these unscrupulous people who profit from desperate peoples ignorance and the advice offered by the medical profession.
Lemon juice is acidic, how can it make alkaline water? Maybe I missed something. Sorry.
It was a old discussion in this blog before. The lemon is acid,but when go to stomach and below react with the ions become alkaline. This is why is frequently recommend drinking one glass of water with half squizze lemon, and you can add one tea spoon of apple cider. I just went to a meeting with MS Society 2weeks ago, and the Speaker person recommended exactly the same.
I sooooo agree with #agate. There are no magic recipes. If it was that easy, no one would continue to suffer with MS.
if this were true I'm sure you wouldn't be asking where to find it, MS has NO cure. Sorry, but you cannot believe everything you hear.
I will tell you, I eat mostly raw veggies and I have noticed a positive change in my energy levels.
I am not saying it's a cure, but there has got to be something to help with gait, exhaustion and maybe more. I know there's no cure. I was just curious if anyone had read about it.
Shelly, it's good to be curious. Everyone body is different and maybe someone diet will improve their disability. I know I cut back on my alcohol intake (I now drink mainly most things made out of grapes; i.e. Wine or brandy), sugar, wheat, salt, and diary etc. it's hard but I can tell the difference and to tell you the truth, that's all that matter.
Let me put my 2cents in this conversation.
While there isn't any diet out there to reverse MS, we do know that MS is an inflammatory chronic disease. Eating a diet with low inflammation properties can only help with certain symptoms. If you have a relapse they give you steroids to reduce the inflammation in your body so why not eat a diet with low inflammatory properties. Eating a better diet may not cure MS but it sure helps.
Everything that I've read always come back to inflammation, weather it's vitamin D deficiency or stress, it all comes back to one thing. I keep seeing these books on how to cure MS. There isn't a cure just yet. We getting close, but I don't thank the pharmaceutical companies going to let this happen. It's too much money involved. Take the drug Ampyra for instance. The drug itself been out for years, just under a different make-up and name. As soon as they process the drug under another name, they charge thousands to get that same drug they use to charge under hundreds of dollars. Alkaline water and raw foods isn't going cause your body harm or cure MS, but at least you are eating better and this might prevent other diseases like high blood pressure. This is just my opinion.
I agree with you. My dr put me on Ampyra and I had seizures from it. As I said, I try to eat as healthy as I can but I am not under any illusions that there is any specific diet that will cure or reverse MS.
Hello Royjr I am in agreement with you two years ago I did the juicing thing with vegetables lemons apples beets and it took my sugar from 10.0 a step away from being on insulin, did this for five months, and the energy was though the roof it took my A1c back down to almost normal 6.4 so since i have been diagnosed to have RRMS Im going to buckle back down and make this my change of life style habit. It may not cure it but I feel that it will slow things downs I won,t knock it cause I tried it and stopped it that year when i got my MRI with and without contrast it showed that I had acquired more lesions on my brain so I'm fixing to head back that way. yes I have other health issue that won't let me take certain medications but I was on 15 at one time now i'm taking under ten besides juicing is good it rid our bodies of all toxins that has built up in our bodies. Fight on soldier we are all in this together yes it effect each one of us different but we all have the same outcome. Smile it will get better.
Interested as well.
i have heard that our bodies run on specific frequencies and that people with ms have low frequencies and with raw juicing and akaline waters it can raise this
cbd can also help emensely with ms
i dont think it reverses the effects of ms but it does help not to progress
cut out all redmeat and dairy

Listen to your body! I don't have caffeine, alcohol, meat, or dairy. All has helped avoid pseudo exacerbation.
Eating raw or fresh vegetables is just better for your health overall. It can help with energy levels, but if you have some digestive issues like I do it cause other issues. I've never heard about akaline water.
I just finished reading one of my many medical MS websites which reiterated that there is NO diet to either manage or reverse MS. Healthy eating with high fiber, Omega 3, Vitamin D and Biotin is suggested, but who knows?
Hi Shelly36. I guess related to raw food is a mis conception, a mistake, because our body does not absorb food if not cooked. We do not have some enzymes like animals to break raw food. I thing if someone whats to preserve nutrients should at least stem vegetables. And eat raw animal source food is danger.My conclusion: I am against raw food and I do not agree either with any diet. Only choose good organic food.
Fiber is important from blueberry, oat amarath, etc. Fruits are okay for me , cereal and nut. But I do not digest celulose.
shortyPPMS I should probably have put this as a reply to you shelly.

What works well for me may not work for anybody else but I've been a lacto-ovo-vegetarian for the last 30 years. Because I have adult-onset diabetes in addition to MS I need to be careful about diet. I weigh and measure food and count calories daily, keeping an eye on protein, fat, potassium and fiber intake. I don't eat desserts and eat 3 meals a day plus a nighttime snack with no between-meal snacking. No alcohol but I understand that in moderation it probably doesn't do any harm.
Not what you're looking for?
