Alternative Therapies Repressed

[Guest guest]

I quit donating money to the MS Society because they refuse to do any research on MS targeted toward diet and nutrition or natural healing. This is copied from message #2644 on the Rife group. Its long, but well worth reading.

Duncan,

I did the same thing - quite supporting the MS Society. But, did you know that the MS Society of Canada is now going to do diet trials?! (Thanks to Ashton Embry and the Best Bet Diet.)

Hi All,

I found a great article posted on the Rife Group messages that I will copy here.

Duncan,

Thanks, I just read the article. It didn't tell me much I didn't already know about the drug industry, doctors, research etc., but it was very informative about the alternative cancer therapies, some of which would be beneficial to those of us with MS too. It was interesting to me that the originator of the Rife machine was involved in electronics by trade. That does gove some credance to the machine, which is another one that I haven't found any explanation of how it works. (And, of course, it's recommended for MS patients.) Coincidently, (or not), my daughter's boss is fighting an abdominal cancer 'mass' for the second time in less than a year, and would like to do it through natural methods. (She has had surgery and will have more in a week or so.) But, after that she will be following a treament protocol from a clinic in Mexico. (She just got back from there and they said their treatment wouldn't be effective at eliminating the mass, but would help her after her surgery to keep it from returning.) I'm wondering if it is the one mentioned in this article. Anyway, she is always interested in any new alternative treatments she can find, so I will forward this to her.

Thanks,

Carol

Carol,

Thats great news! I didn't know that. We have

corresponded with Aston over the years, he is a great

guy. We tried his diet but it didn't seem to help

Janie. I think everyone is different and some

treatments that work great for some people don't help

much for others. I think some of the things that

helped Janie so much haven't helped at all for some

others. I guess it depends on what is in your body

that is causing your problems. If gluten is the

problem, Aston's diet will do the trick. If if is,

then a good mercury detox won't help at all. And vice

versa.

I will be very interested to hear if they publish any

good news. I know in the past there has been some

biased "research" done to prove that diet and

nutrition doesn't help. This research was funded by

drug companies and did prove that diet will not help

improve ones health. So th

Duncan,

I know what you mean.....I have worried bout that with these trials coming....we'll see, and know first hand, won't we?

It took over 4 years before the BBD helped me. I think that's partially because I'm primary progressive and partially because I think I have a mercury problem too, which destroyed my intestinal tract health. (I still have residual symptoms I can't seem to get rid of.......like your wife, but different symptoms from hers. Mine are 'pins and needle' sensations in my legs and feet and slight balance problems, but that's at least a 90% improvement over what I was.) But, I'm not gluten/gliadan intolerant, proven by testing, so I don't think it's the gluten avoidance that has helped me. I think it's more a combination of dairy avoidance and a much healthier eating, plus a great improvement in my intestinal health, which is still not optimal, but I'm still working on it and learning as I go. When you change your diet so much all at once, it's impossible to know what element of the new diet is working for you. But, I suspect that just getting away from all the toxins in processed foods must help all by itself. Plus I determined what I was allergic to and avoid that. Then there is also the saturated fat issue, which I have followed all along, due to having read the Swank diet first. There are just so many elements to the BBD, that I wouldn't label it as based on gluten intolerance.......it really takes into consideration most of the theories propounded on what in diet is bad for MS.

Carol,

I am not familiar with BBD? What is it? Can you give

some details please?

Duncan,

It's the diet that Ashton Embry recommends as the 'Best Bet Diet' for fighting MS. Here's a link to the Best Bet Diet Support Group's web site. They also have an email list, of which I'm a member. The List is joinable, by clicking on "Contact Us" at the web site. There is much good information, both at the web site and on the List, not only about the diet.

Janie also has the pins and needles sensations and

some balance problems. Her weakness and chronic

fatigue may be somewhat due to inability to excercise.

She can't excercise because it causes intense pain in

the feet and legs, rather than the pins and needles.

We too are unsure just which things really helped and

which one didn't because were doing so many things at

once. We changed her diet totally and all at once.

We did the various cleanses, added vitamins and

minerals and anti-oxidants, used oxygen such as in

drinking so many drops of h2o2 in water, parasite

cleanse, zapper treatments, mercury removal, etc.

Since we did so many things, we can't tell which ones

really worked and which ones may have been a waste of

money. So many supplements are very expensive. I

hate to think how much money we have spent on

supplements, not knowing which or if any are helping.

But when someone is so sick for so long, and you get

on a program like this and suddenly their health does

a reversal and they start getting well, you don't want

to stop doing anything that may be helping. As long

as we stick with the clean diet and detox program,

Janie's health continues to improve. As to the money,

there is nothing better to spend it on that improving

ones health. I would rather have her feeling well

than have a new car, etc.

Fortunately, we have been able to afford to pay for

all this (her dental cleanup cost alone cost around

$10,000) out of our pocket. The health insurance will

pay for neurologists and chemo, but not a dime for

anything that helps. I feel sorry for all those with

severe illnesses such as MS that financially just

can't afford to do all things that we have done.

I am very thankful for the internet, without it we

never would have found out about all the altenative

therapies and all the details that go along with them.

This includes people like you sharing information

with each other that the doctors are withholding,

either from ignorance or whatever reasons.

I should add, he has done a lot of work/research on Laetrile (B17) and

produced much more evidence of its efficacy in the fight against cancer. He

travels round the world lecturing - if he's ever in your area I recommend

him!

RE;Ashton Embry Diet, I wonder if it works better for younger people, I am

57, and have been on the Eat Right Diet -also published as Eat right 4your

Type, The main substance to Eliminate IF YOU ARE TYPE B OR AB, is CHICKEN,

thewhich seems to be the mainstay of the A-E diet

IT IS ALO NECESSARY TO DRASTICALLY REDUCE COW'S MILK, AMD AVOID TOMATOES,

AND IF POSSIBLE wheat, as this tends to make you 'dopey.

ALTHOUGH I WAS TOLD that I would not be suitable for B-I THERAPY AS

That hasn't been the case for me. I am also 57, and nothing improved my MS until the Best Best Diet, by Ashton Embry. What is B-l therapy?
