I actually have had diet alter some of my MS symptoms since starting LDN. Not

everyone will, sort of like LDN, trial and error. I do think keeping candida at

a low level is uite beneficial because high candida destroys the immune system

and causes most of the same symptoms as MS does. I think candida eating away at

the immune system can lower one's immune system to such a state that all types

of diseases are possible to develop.

I first did the strict low carb diet for a year, no sugar, no dairy, no wheat,

no soy, no gluten. After about 6 months into the diet I did allow for organic

butter and occasionally allowing myself organic cottage cheese. For a couple of

weeks I had hives and acne that made me look like I had chicken pox. That

finally got better. I made sure my meats and eggs were all steroid and

antibiotic free as these fuel candida. My candida lowed considerably and I was

not as sluggish.

I later switched to Professor Celene Bernstein's diet from her book Health

Seekers(do a google search on Celene if you want to know about her philosophy of

eating)...she has a daughter with MS who also takes LDN. Celene's diet program

is the extreme opposite of the low carb candida diet allowing much fresh fruit,

raw and steamed veggies and occasional meat.

On Celene's detox program I noticed my knotted muscles in my torso lessening an

so did my massage therapist. I still have a great deal of knotted muscles there

but it's not as bad...I was paralyzed from my neck to my hips from the MS and

took 3 years of IV steroids for me to get back to where I could function(not

100% of course, I was left with much damage) I think my having 3 bananas per

day on Celene's diet and her way of food combining has helped my body be able to

absorb my nutrients much better(all foods organic). When I started her

maintenance program I was having to take 6 Prescription time-released potassium

capsules daily because my potassium would hit rock bottom and my blood pressure

would drop into the danger zone and I would be on the verge of a stroke. Now I

take absolutely no potassium and my blood pressure is staying up to around

107/73 instead of 90/49. My torso muscles that loosened are still loosened, my

libido has improved considerably and that may be a combo of diet and LDN and

supplements Celene started me on, not sure. I've seen other subtle improvements

on her diet and I started her diet mid April of this year(2006)

Celene also has me take Adrenucleo and Enzimmune both by Enzyme Process(do

google search)...there's one for the and USA and I think South Africa.

Celene's book has gone up in price. Was South Africa Rand95.00 and is now

R129.95 and I think that comes to $18 or $19 USA dollars and with shipping and

handling, registered mail(Book only, no cassette tape) comes to no more than

$36.00 USA dollars. Takes 10 to 12 business days to get from South Africa to

your home. Not trying to push Celene's book on anyone, just telling my story

and giving the info on Celene and her book if anyone is interested. If you do

contact her, mentioning my name Bren/Arkansas sent me in the subject line to her

will get your email noticed more quickly. Remember, Celene is a very busy

nutritional consultant and her time is limited so only serious inquiries please.

She has a heart of gold so be nice to her.

I have not checked for typos in this reply this time so if there are any, excuse

me.
