Mary, Dori, I thought that MS was multiple sclerosis, different from muscular distrophy?? I thought that they have similar effects as well as causes, but still qualitatively different. Especially that many with muscular dystrophy die in their 20's or so, but this is often when MS begins. I haven't heard if diet can set muscular dystrophy into remission, it seems to get progressively worse. But I have heard of people with MS having symptoms reversed by paleo diet. I have a friend who has two older brothers, both with musclular distrophy, and an older sister. My friend was diagnosed with musc. dist. but clearly doesn't have it. He said that musc. dist. is from when the body can't produce some kind of protein (called dystrophan) needed to get the gene working to build muscle. He said there are different kinds of muscular dystrophy, and his brothers is called Duchenne (sp?). His brothers eat a very high protein diet, and they are the oldest anyone with this type of musc. dystrophy in their state (IL) has--38-40 years old. Judith >Is the SAD diet implicated in this??? In the meantime, I've seen several MS patients on this list talk about what this diet's done to help them.
