Welcome Marjorie
Welcome to our group. Everyone here is very helpful, and we share our
experiences and knowledge.
In 1998, I temporarily lost the sight in my left eye, and after an MRI and
other exams, it was determined I had optic neuritis, which as you probably know,
is an indicator of MS. With 3 days of prednisone via IV, I recovered about
90% of the sight in that eye, but that was when they told me about the optic
neuritis/MS connection. At that time, they also told me my MRI showed scarring
patterns on my brain that would be consistent with MS.
On Jan.1, 1999, I started the Blood Type Diet (I am O+). I gained many
benefits including losing 25 pounds in one year, and many
health/energy/emotional
benefits. Since that time, my MS has been benign/inactive. I was asked about a
year ago to participate in a study with Kaiser/Biogen, and I take an
experimental dose of a new form of interferon once per week. So far, as I say,
I have
been extraordinarily fortunate, in that I have had no more events (knock on
wood!!). Can I credit the Blood Type Diet? I don’t know.
MS is an auto-immune disease of the nervous system, and much of Dr. D’Adamo’s
theories and studies link diet directly to the immune system. Dr. D. advises
that if you have a chronic health issue, or if your immune system is
compromised in any way, that you should strive to be 100% compliant with his
eating
plan, and you should eat only those foods he designates “highly beneficial”. I
don’t know if I am just “lucky”, or if the Blood Type Diet is the ultimate
perfect balance of healing and nutrients for the human body. I just know I am
hanging in there so far.
I am sorry to hear you are having such weakness and fatigue. I hope that the
Blood Type Diet will offer you some results in more energy and less attacks.
Take care and best wishes to you. Please stay on this list and keep us
informed of your progress.
