I embarked on my journey of change--from a multiple sclerosis--diagnosed patient with recurring symptoms and little hope, to an optimistic youthful person happy with my life and eager to live fully--almost by accident. I was not seeking enlightenment. I was not on a quest. But I, like ANY number of people had to learn when life tosses you lemons, you had really better decide to make lemonade. First, some background information go to http://www.ginakopera.com

Sincerly,

I don't want to call her now because she just gave birth to twins (it is her 3rd child since she was dx'd a couple years ago with MS). I remember she said she wasn't really taking any special supplements; but she talked a lot about regularizing her PH levels and especially the flushes....and she absolutely changed her diet, salads, fish, natural juices (not bottled or canned), nuts, no sugars, no breads no white refined flours or sugars etcetc. She was very disaplined about that. I can speak with her a little later and try to get her exact diet if you like. I know about 1 yr after she was dx'd (and all these famous L.A. doctors told her she would never be cured, never have children and have to spend $10-15,000/month on meds) she had her first child, and now just had twins (1-1/2 yr later).

Ok, With everyone writing me, I just called long distance and her husband responded saying she couldn't speak then......she just gave birth to twins last week and has another 1-1/2 yr old. But he said he thought what helped her the most was the diet......she really changed her diet completely. He felt that PH levels and the cleanses which she did dilengently helped improve overall health but wasn't certain they contributed so much to the MS itself; he felt it was the diet completely. I know she cut out completely refined flours and sugars, no breads at all actually...when I ate at her house she served asparagas to start, then a salad with cold shrimp, no sauces..(the salad might have had a vinagrete sauce, I don't recall). To drink, no sodas, no coffee, but press squeezed apple juice I remember. For dessert it was fresh fruit. I think she also eats protein, I vaguely recall her telling me that she ate some kind of meat for breakfast, which I couldn't envision, but she did. I think she cut out all dairy, no cheeses, no eggs. She snacked on some nuts but none with salt. Her husband said she would call me back and when she does I'll get more specifics about the exact diet and I promise I will write. However I don't know if she will get back to me immediately either. All I know is she looked absolutely SO terrific, one year after her diagnosis and on this diet, she looked so healthy and she felt wonderful. With the twin birth she had some complications with the birth so she isn't feeling 100% now, but it's only been 2 wks also, so I will speak with her eventually but cannot guarantee exactly when (I am also leaving town for a couple weeks), but in the meantime you should start that diet.

Lyme disease is referred to as "the great mimicker". It's sometimes misdiagnosed as MS, Parkinson's, Fibromyalgia etc. Here's a good site on an alternative treatment for Lyme:

Mercury has been thought to be a cause of MS as well, so if you can it would be good to replace your mercury dental fillings if you have any.

Additionally, nutrition is a good first start, but I would also study up on how parasites in general, are the cause of many diseases (they are more common than people have been led to believe) I would get a Zapper (Dr. Hulda Clark model) to help you feel better. There is a Zapper Support Forum , as well as a Parasitic Cleanse Support Forum on the curezone site.

I hope this will be helpful!

Everyone is different, and I would like to share an experience I heard second hand. (My daughter's teacher told me an incredible success story about her sister, who had been diagnosed with MS.) Her health had deteriorated so badly, she almost couldn't walk anymore.

I don't remember the exact changes she made to her diet (I'm pretty sure stopping diet soda was one of them), but what was memorable to me at the time, were the changes she made to her environment around her. Per advice from a naturopath, she quit dying her hair, painting her nails, and wearing synthetic fibers. She switched to all natural cotton and wool clothes, non-bleached 100% cotton sheets on her bed, and took all the carpet (and wallpaper, I think) out of her house. If I'm not mistaken, she also threw out her teflon cookware.

She also avoided exposure to any lawns that were treated with chemicals - herbicides, pesticides, even fertilizer. (As well as avoiding sitting on the ground at her kids' soccer practice).

Doing all these things were like a miracle for her. Her naturopath told her that she actually had strong alergies to synthetic products which her body was reacting adversely to. She was well on her way back to good health last I talked to my daughter's teacher.

Maybe if you can do these things too, it will be a help to you.

Good luck to you.
