Sixteen years ago my wife was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She
had a rather typical progression despite all of what medicine had to
offer. She has been on intermittent Solu-Medrol IV, Methotrexate,
Avonex, Betaseron, Copaxone, pulse Solu-Medrol, and all the muscle
relaxers. It seems that nothing really worked and, in fact, many of
the therapies caused her to deteriorate.

Recently, we viewed a ABC News 20/20 special indicating that diet and
nutritionals made for a dramatic improvement in a woman's child with
autism. I was struck with the possibility that since nutrition and
food sensitivities played such a major role in autism, there may well
be a relationship between diet and allergens in multiple sclerosis.

Off to Google I went. I found that there is now a tremendous amount of
information indicating that MS may be well be a diet centric problem.
Thank GOD I have had the experience of working in medicine for 20
years. This experience allowed me to me able to understand what all
the literature was saying.

Following an appropriate amount of research we decided to give the
recommended diet a chance. Research indicated that my wife and several
of her family members must have food allergies to wheat gluten and
casein (found in milk). Of the eight, or so, conditions that commonly
result from sensitivities to these foods, my wife, here sisters and
mother have six (6) of them. Coincidence? I think not.

The dietary alteration was begun on Sunday. On the second day on the
diet, I realized that my wife was able to speak and converse with a
degree of mental clarity that she had not had for many years. On the
fourth day on the diet, I asked her to try to walk. Holding my fingers
she rose and walked all the way from one end of the house to the
other. It was amazing. She had not been able to walk like this for years.

A curious note: In supporting my wife, my kids and I, all began the
same diet. My daughters eczema was completely resolved on the fourth
day of the diet. Hurray!!! And yes, eczema is on the list on problems
that casein sensitive people commonly experience.

I was excited to hear of the ALCAT test. It is our plan to test the
whole family for confirmation of what we now believe to be causing my
wife's MS and to facilitate reintroduction of SAFE foods into our diet.
