This comprehensive guide to alternative and self-help care is directed to those who have MS, and to their families, friends, and helpers. Judy Graham's personal experiences with MS prompted her to explore various natural methods of treatment, leading to dramatic and lasting improvement in her own health. In her book, she has combined this first-hand knowledge with extensive, ongoing research. Offers advice on exercise, posture, yoga, hyperbaric oxygen treatment, incontinence, relationships, sexuality, pregnancy, childbirth, mental attitude, and dealing with fatigue. Includes resource information and full details on evening primrose oil, a dietary supplement shown to be effective for many people with MS.
(5 stars based on her terrific last book and the more recent date of this one!) Wish I knew more about this book. Has a lot changed since the previous edition? Enlighten me, please. :)
Because Doctors Won't or Can't Tell You Everything
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This highly readable, well-organized book covers the essential alternative approaches for those dealing with relapsing-remitting MS. It focuses on the best accepted research studies and wellness management (as opposed to symptom management). For example, there is a lot on diet, with great explanations of why it works, but nothing on bee venom therapy (which only temporarily can address symptoms). It's so well written, you can get the essence of the whole thing in a less than an hour, and then drill into the parts as appropriate.
Outstanding!

I have had MS for eight years. I found this book extremely informative. The author discusses information that I have not found anywhere else. Her approach to disease management through vitamin and mineral suppliments as well as the importance of identifying food allergies has given me renewed hope. I highly recommend this book!

Judy Graham's book literally changed my life and how I "manage" my MS. She gives specific suggestions and a whole menu of choices of ways to control your condition. As I read it, I kept thinking, "I can actually do this..." And I have and it works for me.
Easy to read, very helpful - rang the bells for me!!

This book offers a comprehensive, holisitic explanation of what is happening to us as we develop the symptons of this disease. It gave me a lot of hope and five years after reading it I have had no additional problems. Anyone with MS is not doing themselves justice if they do not read this book!!
