i found this website a while back, has anyone done decent on the jelinek diet? i bought his book cheap on amazon awhile back, but haven't read much of it.

i don't really believe it would technically be a cure, but maybe work about as well as a dmd, any thoughts or experience?

I think that he has some good ideas. It is along the same lines as Judy Graham (from the UK) who has a book entitled,
Multiple Sclerosis: A Self-Help Guide to Its Management [Paperback].

In fact, Professor Jelinek reviews her book at:

I have been following Graham's advice for almost 15 years, and I am still walking, in no pain and can see. So I believe that she was a great influence on me. People in my support group wouldn't believe me and they are not doing as good. So this is extremely important. So Professor Jelinek probably has a lot of great ideas as well. Thanks for the link and the information. I think that diet is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. AS WELL AS SUPPLEMENTS. JUDY GRAHAM GAVE ME GREAT IDEAS ON WHAT SUPPLEMENTS TO TAKE.

Thanks for the link. Let us know what the diet is all about. I don't see the full details of the diet on the website.

Both of those books sound interesting. . . will have to look them up. . .a weird aside. . . isn't there someone here on the site with the same last name (jelinek)?

I thought the same thing Anne!! and I think diet and supplements play an important role. The question is what diets, which supplements?

I believe George jelinek Diet has made a difference in my MS, 10 years ago I could not walk, now I have no ms activity and jog several miles nearly every evening.

He bases much of his book on the Swanks diet, which is keeping to a low Saturated fat diet.

When I was first diagnosed I read both George jelinek's and Judy Graham's books, they changed my life and gave me hope from the very beginning.

I personally recommend both books.

I am the one with the name Jelinek. It is based on a street address I had years ago. I thought I would move, so I started using the log in name as jelinek121. This is just a coincidence. I didn't know about the book until last weekend.

My handheld has been acting up. One more attempt. Graham is about supplements vit D, evening Primrose oil, omega 3, and calcium and others i can't remember. those are most import.
Food: healthy, organic low fat diet w/ exercise, meditation. i'll have to find book.
