Not butting in at all, I need all the info I can get, now I am 0 blood type,

I find this interesting that it makes any difference, but when you think

about it makes sense, I am just rather lost regarding the whole damned

condition.

another thing, how on earth can my doctor make a statement that he feels

this condition will NOT debilitate me?? I have other issues besides this,

heart, rheumatic fever twice and left me with a problem there and cronic

depression, he feels that will be more debilitating to me than MS,,,grr, all

so unclear to me.

This list is all I have that seems to have any direction or answers.

So if anyone wants to jump in please do. I am confused about alot of things.

Any imput you all give is invaluable, you are good folks.Too much weirdness

going on in this body right now, was also concidering a good fast but hell i

take so many meds.

Margie,

I have found that to be true also. It is seldom that I miss any of the foods

I've given up. I think sugery things are the most apt to bother me, like

cherry pie!

Dear ELAINE,

I WONDER IF YOU HAVE LOOKEDat thr 'Swank Diet?'-nay be suitable for you

, I AM TYPE B, the info can be obtained by entering 'Swank Diet in Multiple

Sclerosis' to your 'Search ENGINE

Swank Diet not suitable for moi because it contains Chicken,

but it is supposed to help arrest the symptoms. after

12 months on the ER4YT diet-I FEEL A LOT Better'

On the subject of fasting,A BOOK CALLED' Not all in the Mind'by Dr

R.MACKARNESS Pan Books, now probably only available through a book-finding

service, says that fasting is not a do-it-yourself treatment, as itcan throw

up distressing symptoms.

He does suggest one way to test foods withouta total fast.

Eliminate one of the suspect foods for 4 days.

IF the symptoms reappear after the food is intrroduced, then it

must be one that you should avoid.

BE WARNED THAT A SEVERE REACTION MAY OCCUR!!

[i find that if my symptoms disapppear the food is best avoided anyway!
