C/ Arlene - Warning, Warning

I sure hate to be the one to tell you this but if you give up your right leg

in order to bound you won't be doing too many steps two at a time. Give up

your hair, or your walker or your horse but keep the leg. Sometimes I'd be

glad to get rid of mine but if they work to the point of " boundiung " I want

to keep them. I'd like to see this arm do a little " bounding " , too.

Arlene,

The fact that you are celiac could as the neuro suggested be at the root

of your problems.

Have you ever read about MacDougall (British playwright) and his

battle with MS? It was one of the first things I read about after

diagnosis in the days before the internet and pointed me in the

direction of using an appropriate diet. Basically his MS got to the

point where he was in a wheelchair, almost blind and preparing to die.

He somehow figured out that he was allergic to gluten and various other

foods so eliminated them from his diet. It was very slow - took him

four years to reach the point where he managed to get his fingers to do

a shirt button up!! It also had to be absolutely 100% strict - he soon

learnt that even an accidental breaking of the diet, even in a very

small way, led to big setbacks.

It paid off in the end - at one point in the book I have about him

written by naturopath Jan De Vries, Jan tells how he visited at

home after his 'recovery' and bounded down the steps of his home

two at a time!! I'd give my right leg to be able to do that again!! :-)

I checked and looks like the book is still available on Amazon - see
