Recovering from Multiple Sclerosis: Real Life Stories of Hope and Inspiration

by George Jelinek, Karen Law

A deeply personal exploration of the journeys of 12 ordinary men and women diagnosed with multiple sclerosis around the world, showing that recovery is possible A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis conjures up images of wheelchairs, paralysis, and a shortened life, but in fact it's possible to regain mobility and make a recovery. This is a collection of 12 life stories of people who have been diagnosed with MS, and have been able to halt the progression of the disease and recover mobility by following a program of drug treatment, diet, sunshine, meditation, and exercise. These stories offer hope and inspiration to others diagnosed with MS, and an insight into the different journeys people take to recovery. Based on extended interviews, they also offer an understanding of the challenges faced by people with different types of MS and at different stages in the progression of the disease.

This was an excellent book. It was so great reading the stories of others who have MS, and how they maintain positive attitudes and lived a lifestyle that has led to healing.

This book gave me hope. And has led me to make many positive changes in my life.

I hope the authors will publish another similar book sharing the stories of additional people.

There are two suggestions I would have to the authors--
1) Include the basics of the "Overcoming MS" lifestyle in the preface or introduction to the book. The interviews refer to the lifestyle again and again. I am reading the Overcoming MS book and have read about the lifestyle elsewhere, but maybe some readers are in the dark about the lifestyle. Some people I would like to share the book with are unlikely to read "Overcoming MS", so I know they would greatly benefit from this addition.
2) I would love to see a story about a stay-at-home mom with young kids. I think a lot of us in the early stages of diagnosis fall into this category and it would be nice to have a story we can more closely relate with.

An excellent, inspiring book! It is a MUST READ for anyone with MS!

I was living with MS for years before being officially diagnosed in 2021. I got annual MRIs, and I did not take any meds due to side effects. I had one flare up in 2021. My legs decided to a break, and I was numb from the waist down. I decided to try MS-4 from Uine Health Centre. The numbness and Muscle spasms went away after a couple of weeks, but it took almost 3 months to walk properly without a cane. In June, it will be four years without incident, and I am extremely happy that I made the decision to not take any meds and went for the MS-4 formula even though my neurologist got upset and one told me to quit my job because I will be disabled. Well, I am not disabled, I still refuse to take those meds, and I am doing just fine. Believe in yourself and go with your instincts. Doctors don't know it all. I’m surprised a lot of people with MS haven’t heard of the MS-4 protocol, I got the treatment from uinehealthcentre. com I am absolutely confident that this protocol offers a viable solution. I hope you find it helpful.

The doctors don’t have answers. I have relapse remitting MS- I don’t take any medications for MS because I found they made me worse. When on the drug I became blind and paralyzed every 4 months like clockwork … I’d get better after a month or two and the cycle continued for years until I stopped taking their medications. And started on herbal tincture from Health Herbs Clinic I have not been paralyzed or blind since. I am a “walking miracle” because I barely suffer symptoms anymore. Natural Medicines, meditations and Ayurvedic therapies from Health Herbs Clinic has helped me completely reverse my MS,  I live a more productive life. Thank you for giving those of us with Multiple sclerosis a new hope. Google healthherbsclinic . com

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 52 years old 4 years ago. The Bafiertam did very little to help me. The medical team did even less. My decline was rapid and devastating. It was muscle weakness at first, then my hands and tremors. Last year, a family friend told us about Natural Herbs Centre and their successful MS Ayurveda TREATMENT, we visited their website natural herbs centre. com and ordered their Multiple Sclerosis Ayurveda protocol, i am happy to report the treatment effectively treated and reversed my Multiple Sclerosis, most of my symptoms stopped, I’m able to walk and my writing is becoming great, sleep well and exercise regularly. I’m  active now, I can personally vouch for  these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you🧡.

After seeing numerous neurologists, I was given the diagnosis of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. I was given medication, which helped, but my condition was rapidly deteriorating. Ultimately, I learned about the useful MS-4 protocol at vinehealthcentre. com. This treatment has helped greatly with reducing my symptoms, it was even more effective than the prescription drugs I was using. My tremors mysteriously disappeared after the first month of medication, and I was able to walk better. Within 4 months on this treatment most of my symptoms has vanished. The MS-4 protocol is a total game changer for me. I’m surprised more people with MS don’t know it. This MS-4 protocol is a breakthrough

After 20 years of MS treated from 2000 to 2006 with Rebif(efficient to that year) and then Avonex(not efficient to calm down my lesions’ number increase) i found this website Natural herbs enter . just 3 months ago, and their current Ayurvedic health tech to help curb/manage it. Decided to give it a try and it has made a tremendous difference for me I had improved walking balance, muscle strength and improved vision, always thankful for nature that helps in managing these terrible diseases.

This book is a collection of accounts of twelve different people, mostly from Australia and New Zealand who have, for all intents and purposes, recovered from MS by following the Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis protocol designed by Australian physician Dr. George Jelinek. It is inspiring reading for all people with MS looking for motivation to tackle the program and experience recovery for themselves.

Like many MS lifestyle change books this one continually harps on the solutions it espouses. From what I read I came away with the following: vitamin D is key, exercise is to be pursued no matter how limited you are, everyone gets their own ride, determination is key, meditation is a great and powerful tool. I am not completely convinced by the full diet change argument, other diets like Wahls protocol use the same arguments and evidence to support different application and programs of action. It was heartening to hear of others' tales of how they changed for the better from places of hard despair and trial.

I picked up this book at the library because someone in the family has just been diagnosed with M.S. Although I didn't quite finish it, as each story is based on the same principles, it outlines a very informative and thought-provoking treatment for the disease. Based on diet, exercise and meditation it has had outstanding results for those who told their story in this book, leading to almost normal lifestyles. Certainly worth trying.
