• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Does anyone here have MS and follow this diet, or know someone who does?

I have been trying it for a while, and I do think my overall health has improved some. It is difficult to follow it completely, but I do for the most part. Does anyone else have some feedback on this?

On the news just now broadcast,
they have a nutritionists working with ms patients to see how much gut bacteria may affect their immune system and help their overall health.

Over 50 years ago, a nutritionist discovered that by eliminating the allergy in a case of ms, the symptoms of ms disappeared and stayed gone within about 2 or 3 months,
and did not return (i.e. remained symptom free)
as long as the allergen was not introduced again.
This has also been observed to help cancer , migraines, arthritis, and other troubles. (eliminating allergens)

I like food and I have difficulty with self control, so when there are foods available that aren't good for me and I eat them, I do notice a difference.

I eat eggs occasionally but for the most part I follow low fat eating. I also eliminated sugars through pastas, breads, potatoes. Dairy is limited to homemade yogurt and occasionally sour cream.

I think the Swank diet is a good one. In addition I try to eat only organic, I use raw milk for the yogurt and sour cream ( I pasturize it myself). The fats that I use the most are almond oil and I eat raw nuts and seeds also. I take a primrose oil supplement. Also B supplements are helpful for me.
