The movie Hilary and Jackie tells the tragic story of a little girl (Jacqueline du Pré) who grew up to be one of the world’s greatest cellists, only to have her musical career and then her life cut short by multiple sclerosis. The truly sickening part of the story is that the importance of diet in arresting the development of that debilitating and sometimes fatal disease had been published long before du Pré started having symptoms of the disease. Tragically, the medical profession is still largely ignoring the role of a strict, low-fat diet in arresting multiple sclerosis.

A friend of mine has MS but won’t even look at Swank’s site… maybe doesn’t want to get her hopes up or perhaps believes her doctor more than a friend?
Maybe she should see this: http://www.drmcdougall.com/stars/050812tasic.html
Swank’s diet is good for overall health. Swank himself lived to the age of 99.
If she continues to eat the standard American diet, her MS will probably continue to progress. If she eats the Swank diet, it almost certainly won’t. It’s that simple. Does your friend have a caregiver who can help her make a dietary change?
