Multiple Sclerosis (By Appointment Only) [Paperback]

Jan De Vries (Author)

Book Description

Series: By Appointment Only | Publication Date: June 1992

Multiple Sclerosis is recognised as a growing problem. In some Scandinavian countries, Holland, Britain and North America, the number of sufferers is rising by the day. In the UK alone, it is estimated that between 50,000 and 60,000 people suffer from this debilitating disease; in the USA figures of 350,000 are quoted. What are the causes of the problem? And what can be done about it? Could it be possible to prevent MS? When we look at the countries where there is no occurrence of MS whatsoever; the immediate answer is YES. Jan de Vries has studied and treated Multiple Sclerosis for over 45 years. He has learned that every MS patient is different and that their problems must be treated individually. He emphasises the importance of diet and environment sufferers must build up their immune system. Even the smallest interference with that delicate mechanism, the human body, can trigger off problems out of all proportion to the cause. For example, silver mercury amalgam fillings in teeth can affect your health. This book draws attention to a variety of factors and explains how they can be dealt with to improve the quality of life for all MS sufferers. It is a relevant and important alternative approach to the problem.

This review is from: Multiple Sclerosis (By Appointment Only) (Paperback)

Just got finished reading the 1989 reprint of the original, first published in 1985. I'm very encouraged by the organized approach the author uses to explain that M.S. is not a "disease" so much as it is a reaction to the recent changes humans have made in the way we eat and live.

The text also mentions hypoglycemia, arthritis, diabetes, and other disorders, and those who suffer from these might also benefit from this book, IMHO.

I've got several friends with M.S.; I'm planning to send or refer this book to them.
