Ah yes! I am new to the forum but I would like to share my experience with alternate therapies.

I have suffered from MS for almost 16 years.  About four years ago I started researching about nutrition and MS.  I had been on every  disease modifying drug  since my diagnosis up until 2014 but had life-threatening consequences with a few, so my relationship with the traditional medicine world has not been great needless to say. Food as medicine started in 2014 for me and my relapses were fewer, which was great! But I relapsed in late 2016  and was in a rapid, steady decline in just a few short months. Secondary progressive was the diagnosis I got in mid 2017. That is when I decided to  fight harder than I ever have before and that meant taking the alternative route again but perfecting it this time. I went back to school and became a certified holistic nutritionist.  I myself follow a very specific diet choice. I utilize many principles of several modern day diets, specifically organic or “clean“. Combining them into one daily regimen has allowed me to reverse my MS symptoms and live a very active lifestyle. I have not had a relapse in almost a year. This is the longest I’ve ever gone without replapsing in any way since being diagnosed with this disease.  ?
