Review
"As a physician and the spouse of someone with multiple sclerosis, I feel that this book contains much wisdom and guidance for achieving one's greatest potential for healing when confronted by the reality of this disease." -- Bernie Siegel, MD, author of 'Faith, Hope & Healing & 365 Prescriptions for Living' "This is the most exciting book I have read in some time. Everyone affected by MS, either directly or indirectly, needs to read it." -- Ian Gawler, OAM, author of "You Can Conquer Cancer & Peace of Mind" "I think many people with MS would be grateful to their treating doctor if they were pointed in the direction of reading this book to help them deal better with this debilitating lifelong disease." - Garry Pearce FAFRM, Medical Director, MS Australia in the Royal Australasian College of Physicians Magazine August 2010
Product Description
This book offers real hope for people with multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a serious, progressively disabling neurological condition for which current medical treatment is not particularly effective and has many side-effects. Professor George Jelinek, an experienced medical clinician and researcher, provides a genuine alternative. Through an exhaustive, evidence-based analysis of medical research, Professor Jelinek reached the surprising conclusion that MS is a disease largely determined by lifestyle factors. He has demonstrated that people with MS who modify their diet, exercise habits, and other aspects of lifestyle can stabilise the illness, and potentially recover. Professor Jelinek's experience with his mother's death from MS, and his own diagnosis in 1999, lend an urgency and compassion to this meticulous work. Professor Jelinek's recommendations will change the lives of thousands of people with MS, and support their loved ones.

Format:Paperback
I have MS and have read lots of books on the subject. This is the best book ever. It treats readers as grown-ups able to take matters into their own hands rather than relying on Doctors and drugs. It is evidenced based with lots of references to follow up. George Jelinek has MS himself as well as being a Dr of emergency medicine so has access to all the medical research plus the added benefit of knowing what it feels like to have MS. I love this book. If ever something crops up, I turn to the book for advice. The diet takes a bit of getting used to but I feel better than I have for years, when combining this with Aloe vera gel drink.

I am new to the scary world of MS. Not interested in reading about which is the best wheelchair or incontinence pad on the market. I want positive, inspirational, realistic and attainable..... This book delivers.

Format:Paperback
My mum bought this book for me just before I was diagnosed with ms, and I am so glad she did. I am sure that without it I would be feeling far, far worse than I do. The book explains all of the evidence for a wide variety of approaches to managing ms, in a really clear and thorough way so that you can make your own mind up about what's worth trying. I have only been doing some of the recommendations for a couple of months as I've only recently been diagnosed, and I am feeling well. It's hard to say if the diet/vitamin d etc has got anything to do with this, but I am sure that the psychological side, of feeling that I have some control over it, is what is helping me the most. I honestly believe the information in this book has the potential to help me get far better than any drugs can, and am so grateful to the professor for writing it.
