Editorial Reviews

Review

"Judy Graham's book should be essential reading for all with MS and for the families and friends of those suffering. It is up-beat without being facile and it surveys the field simply and intelligently. The clear way in which Ms. Graham tackles the contentious issue of diet is extremely welcome."
(Yoga Journal )

5.0 out of 5 stars Informational, but more than that - empowering., September 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Multiple Sclerosis: A Self-Help Guide to Its Management (Paperback)

This should be required reading for all people with MS. It shows you things that have been proven to help, that let you start to take back some control over your disease.

Some of the information is a bit "heady". The scientific data is sometimes hard to read. But the best part about a book is that you can read it as many times as you need to make sense. She explains these scientific tidbits very well.

Excellent reading.

Judy Graham's book literally changed my life and how I "manage" my MS. She gives specific suggestions and a whole menu of choices of ways to control your condition. As I read it, I kept thinking, "I can actually do this..." And I have and it works for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, September 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Multiple Sclerosis: A Self-Help Guide to Its Management (Paperback)

I have had MS for eight years. I found this book extremely informative. The author discusses information that I have not found anywhere else. Her approach to disease management through vitamin and mineral suppliments as well as the importance of identifying food allergies has given me renewed hope. I highly recommend this book!
