HEALTHY EATING FOR MS by DR ANDREW WEIL


  • I believe all the following to work. I have done so, not at Dr Weil suggestion but how my nutritionist lead me 26 years ago. PLEASE consider changing your way of eating as one of the ways you fight MS in your life. Or any illness. Diet can help tremendously.
  • Decrease protein toward 10 percent of daily caloric intake. Replace animal protein as much as possible with plant protein.
  • Eliminate milk and milk products, substituting other calcium sources.
  • Eat organically grown fruits and vegetables as much as possible as well as organic products made from wheat and soy.
  • Eliminate polyunsaturated vegetable oils, margarine, vegetable shortening, all partially hydrogenated oils, all foods (such as deep-fried foods) that might contain trans-fatty acids. Use extra-virgin olive oil as your main fat.
  • Increase intake of omega-3 fatty acids from fish, walnuts, or flax and hemp seeds.
  • Eat more fruits and vegetables.
  • Eat ginger and turmeric regularly.
  • Take acidophilus culture and psyllium if constipation is a problem, or use the ayurvedic herbal bowel regulator, triphala.
  • Take my antioxidant and daily multivitamin formula and a B-50 complex vitamin, and a multi-mineral supplement daily.
  • Take 5 grams of soy lecithin granules daily (store this in the refrigerator).
  • Take 30 milligrams of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) two or three times a day.
  • Do some kind of light aerobic exercise on a regular basis. Choose something you enjoy but do not push your self to the point of exhaustion.
  • Visualization, meditation, and hypnotherapy can redirect your mental energies in positive directions.
  • Experiment with traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine from qualified practitioners.

Andrew Weil, M.D.
