Multiple sclerosis. Acne. Depression. What do these things have in common? Shame? No, nothing quite that sexy. The fact that diet can significantly improve all of them. For much of my life I believed that diet had nothing to do with either acne or multiple sclerosis, a notion that healthcare professionals reinforced. I’ve now come to hold a different view—diet has a lot to do with it. But it’s not limited to the duo mentioned. Changing my diet did wonders for my depression, dry skin, eczema, athlete’s foot, nail fungus, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, allergies…and the list goes on. Diagnosed with MS in 2006, after which followed several bouts of vertigo, numbness, stiffness, and loss of strength and coordination over the following years, I am now virtually symptom free, without the use of conventional drugs in any form. And though diet plays a big role, it is by no means the only thing to consider. Nor is this an endeavor to find a miracle cure, but something much more realistic and practical: instead of treating the symptoms, treat the underlying causes.
