Dangerously Healthy - Autobiographical Self Cure (Paperback)

Malcolm graduated at Hull University in 1958, with a BSc in Zoology with honours in Endrocrinology, despite many confusing MS symptoms. He went on to become a lecturer and comedy script writer, married and had two children.

We live though the turmoil of his diagnosis, and the devastating effects on his professional and personal life. But throughout Malcolm remains determined to beat MS and begins his search for answers.

He starts by taking sunflower oil, vitamins, sticking to a gluten-free low-fat diet, and trying Hyper-baric Oxygen. Gradually starts looking and feeling better. His next step was to try to tackle the muscles which had wasted through inactivity and decides to try bicycling, somewhat to his wife's trepidation!

Gradually Malcolm finds his strength building. He takes up tennis, starts playing cricket again and even climbed Mount Snowdon! The following year he cycled to London to raise funds for A.R.M.S, a new group, Action and Research for MS, from which has spawned the British MS Therapy Centres.

Despite his wife's affair and being left to bring up his two children he manages to remain fit and active. We travel with Malcolm on the all too familiar MS Roller Coaster, while being reminded to stay positive and keep a real sense of humour at all times! Be prepared for some hearty 'Yorkshire' dialect, a good dose of down to earth Yorkshire wit and plenty of scandal. This book made me cry as well as laugh my socks off!

In 1997 Malcolm wrote 'Dangerously Healthy'. The idea was to raise money for MS Research. But the publishers let him down big time. Three years of stressful litigation and financial hard-ship has caused MS to flare up. But he is now on the way back up again, as stubbornly determined as ever.

As a fellow person with MS I could relate to Malcolm's experiences over the years, and his many therapies and methods of managing and stabilising MS himself, especially through Diet. I also found the book to be a great read as a Novel irrespective of whether you have, or know someone with, MS or not. This book has a lot to give everyone!

Three years of stressful litigation and financial hard-ship has caused MS to flare up. But he is now on the way back up again, as stubbornly determined as ever! I found Malcolm's book very helpful as I myself also have Multiple Sclerosis and have found many similar approaches have helped me to take control of it, as has Malcolm throughout his life. I also can relate to just how damaging stress can be with this condition. The book was also simply a very enjoyable Novel to read irrepective of whether or not you have MS!
