At Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis we are committed to supporting people with multiple sclerosis by analysing and sharing the research evidence that supports recovery
Possibilities
The medical literature has considerable evidence that MS is a modern, lifestyle disease of developed countries and that there are many lifestyle changes that modify its course. These therapies have been extensively researched and offer exciting possibilities for controlling the illness and preventing disability.Aim
This website presents a summary of scientific information about multiple sclerosis, the causes, incidence, genetics, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, prognosis, and the best medical research about each of the available therapies. These treatments include diet with emphasis on dietary fats, sunlight and vitamin D, meditation, exercise, supplements, the mind-body connection and medications. Recommendations are provided for people with MS to use in aiming at overcoming multiple sclerosis and recovering. New research is being published all the time, if it passes rigorous scrutiny you will find it published here.Hope
For those just diagnosed with MS, there is every reason to hope for a long and healthy life. For those with disability, there is the real potential to slow or completely stop the progression of the illness. For some, symptoms will improve. For many people, visiting this website is their first step in a journey to regaining their health, with the potential to genuinely heal and overcome the illness. Good luck on the journey.- Professor George Jelinek MD
