Can you imagine the stark terror you would feel if you were told you have Multiple Sclerosis? Author Betty Iams was told that, and From MS to Wellness is her story. "This book is about my journey from the diagnosis to wellness, a wellness that has as much to do with my spirit as my body", says Ms. Iams in her most intriguing and uplifting book.
Betty writes,"I was certainly not willing to accept ending up in a wheelchair, so I began my search for alternative methods of healing. The first thing I did was build a wonderful support network of marvelous friends and professionals." That, we learn, is the foundation to allowing one's body to heal itself.
From MS to Wellness describes the author's discoveries of many different healing modalities, discoveries that Betty embraced with success. And so the reader learns about Kinesiology, homeopathy, Ayurveda, Reiki, massage therapy and QiGong Tai Chi, among others. And learns that "80 percent of all disease processes will respond to feeding the body (nutrition) resting the body (reduction of stress), and moving the body (exercise).
More than anything else, though, Ms. Iams believes "You must believe that you can!" And so, From MS to Wellness is not just an autobiography, not just a book about alternative methods of healing, and not just a very well written and wonderful story. From MS to Wellness is also a very spiritual and metaphysical book of courage and insight.
While 2-1/2 million people suffer from Multiple Sclerosis, From MS to Wellness, in this reviewer's opinion, is not just for people with MS, but for all of us with any affliction, large or small. Betty says, "I do not believe there is a disease that cannot be healed." These are the words of a lightworker who has given us a must-read of intense interest and timeless value! -- Richard Fuller, Senior Editor, Metaphysical Reviews, March 20, 1998
Product Description
From MS to Wellness author Betty Iams masterfully shares with you her emotional roller coaster after learning she had Primary Chronic Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. She went from "stark terror" that she would become helpless like her mother, who has spent the last 30 years in a wheelchair with MS, to accepting the challenge to overcome this disease.
This tenacious, very resourceful lady brought to this challenge a metaphysical background. She believes that physical healing is as much about healing the mind and spirit as the body. Though Betty's experience is with MS, and From MS to Wellness chronicles her personal journey to Wellness, she skillfully presents a complete self-help guide to healing and transformation.
With a twinkle in her eye, and a smile in her voice, Betty calls her MS her "uninvited guest." As you follow along with her from the diagnosis through denial, anger, acceptance, and finally to developing her "game plan" for her personal journey to wellness, you realize that we all have uninvited guests as we travel along life's path. In sharing her own journey, Betty gives us a guide for handling our own inevitable uninvited guests.

From MS to Wellness is not a book about multiple sclerosis. It is about how one can create wellness. It is about healing. It teaches us that healing is about change, about changing anything in your life that you wish to change. It is about creating what you truly want in your life, whether that be creating a healthy body, a healthy relationship, the career you would like to have, or anything else you truly want in your life.
From MS to Wellness is about taking charge of your body . . . and your life.
