This past summer, a friend got rid of her narcolepy-like symptoms by
going gluten free (right before she took on a job as a flight
attendant at age 55). So I tried it. (I read about it 20 years ago
in Judy Graham's MS books....Duh!...) I'm a Southern girl and rice
has always been my main staple so it was easy giving up pasta and
bread. I have easily dropped 20 pounds with no cravings (That's
where I think LDN helped). If I should eat something bad, I feel it
in my hands first. My symptom I am trying to eliminate is inability
to stay focused...like read a book! I definitely feel more
empowered. Also I started with some of the things I learned at
www.earthclinic.com like oil pulling, black strap molasses, coconut
oil,etc. The Gluten stuff makes sense and it is too bad that they
(medical establishment) didn't pay attention to this in the past.
With my gut problems as a kid ('50's), they just said I was
a "nervous child", so now I have a MS dx, osteoporosis overnight,
never had kids,jawbone infection. So folks, pay attention to this.It
is inherited. One MS friend said that her neuro, upon dx, said "I'm
sending you over for allergy testing". She said, "I'm not allergic
to anything. He said, "You are, you just don't know you are".
Thanks, Kiki, for bringing this to the forefront. Good luck. With
LDN, it should be a "Piece of cake", right??? MAG

you know if anything eventful occurs. This article really was
interesting for a few different neuro diseases. I hope you find it
as informative as I did.
