Four Steps to Overcoming Multiple
Sclerosis is an easy-to-follow guide, which includes
complete details of everything I have learned in my own journey to overcome the
tendency of
MS to progress. I do not believe disability progression has to be the ultimate
outcome
of an MS diagnosis.
I believe in taking charge of my own
health. While I am not intrinsically opposed to allopathic medicine,
I believe
there is
much truth in the following recent quote from a U.S. comedian as he
ended his
show with a hilarious
yet oh-so-true rant about so-called Big Pharma, astutely observing:
"If you
believe you need all the pills and drugs the pharmaceutical industry says
you do, then you're already on drugs!"
- Bill Maher
I truly do believe that my and your body were designed to
be self-healing. And that by using the four easy-to-follow lifestyle
changes this new book recommends, we can provide the healing environment our
body needs in order to prevent MS from progressing. Is it a "cure" for MS?
Certainly not! There is no such thing, but it does give us tools to aid
our body's self-healing. Diagnosed 13 years ago, after three years of
searching for a diagnosis, using these four steps I have remained very
stable with relatively no evidence of active MS in my body for over 10 years now.
YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
Four Steps to Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis includes a complete easy-to-follow 3-stage guide to the so-called Best Bet for MS Diet (BBD), including categorized recipes, very extensive how-to tips, substitutions, etc. It even includes shopping lists and how to stock your cupboards. This 3-stage guide to the BBD makes it incredibly easy for anyone to follow. I believe keeping the program simple leads to success.
Four Steps to Overcoming Multiple
Sclerosis also includes complete guides to :
Recommended Exercise
Programs,
Necessary Supplements
A complete Meditation Guide
Important Breathing Exercises
Here are several excerpts:
FROM THE INTRODUCTION:
It requires only these things to be successful:
I cannot overemphasize the power of the easy KIS (Keep It Simple) formula featured in Four Steps to Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis.
If I can do
it, I assure you that...
YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
Most people begin this program more concerned about the so-called Best Bet Diet for MS food plan. However they quickly learn that it is the synergism of each of the four steps - exercise, meditation, supplements, and the food plan, etc., -- that is the unifying force in a healthy, self-healing lifestyle.
FROM THE FOOD AND RECIPE SECTION:
T
he first 7-8 years I lived with this food plan, now called the Best Bet Diet (BBD), I never deviated, even a little. I have learned, by trial and error, over the last 10 years, to divide the plan into Stages 1, 2 and 3.Stage 1 is a simple, uncomplicated way to ease into the complete food plan.
Stage 2 is the core of the BBD.
Stage 3 is a way to determine if you may over time relax the strict Stage 2 and add some of the previously prohibited foods back into your diet.
Four Steps to Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis includes substitutions, how to organize your kitchen, shopping lists, how to eat out and travel while living with the BBD, as well as a very extensive recipe collection. Everything you need to succeed with the BBD.
Here's a favorite recipe from this collection:
ALMOND-CRUSTED SALMON
Even if you think you don't care for salmon, you will love this. Coated in almond meal it acquires a somewhat toasted flavor, much like browned butter. Serve it with broccoli and you will have found a new favorite.
 |
1/4 c. almond meal (grind in
blender or food processor
|
|
1/4 c. seasoned gluten-free
bread crumbs
|
|
1/8 t. ground cumin
|
|
4 6-oz. salmon fillets, about
1-in. thick
|
|
2 t. lemon juice
|
|
salt and ground pepper to taste
|
|
cooking spray
|
|
lemon wedges for garnish
|
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Combine first 4 ingredients in shallow dish and set aside. Brush tops and sides of fish with lemon juice, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dredge top and sides, one fillet at a time, in almond mixture. Place skin side down on broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle any remaining crumb mixture evenly over fish; press gentle to adhere. Bake at 500 degrees for 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges.
F
rom the Meditation Section:Meditation is not some airy-fairy esoteric religious practice. First and foremost meditation is total relaxation, and is recognized as such by the medical profession. However, meditation may open the way to knowing yourself at a much higher level than any other way.
Meditation can greatly enhance your body's self-healing ability. The very easiest and simplest approach to beginning meditation for anyone is:
Step 1: Begin with several very deep, slow breaths. Inhale deeply and exhale as slowly as possible. The breath is the key to relaxation, as well as going within. Concentrate on breathing into the lower abdomen. As you inhale just imagine you are inflating a balloon in your lower belly, then as you exhale allow the balloon to deflate.
Step 2: With eyes closed relax your entire body by focusing your attention first on your face and head, then slowly progress to neck, shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, upper back, lower back, hips, thighs, legs and finally feet.
Step 3: Then silently repeat a phrase or word (called a mantra) that is meaningful to you. The word "love" is a good way to begin. When your attention wanders, just bring it back to your mantra.
Make your initial goal about 15 minutes, with the ultimate goal 30 minutes each day.
MEDITATION IS AN IMPORTANT
SELF-HEALING
TOOL. I HOPE EACH ONE OF YOU FIND THAT HEALING
PLACE INSIDE YOURSELF. IT IS WORTH
ALL THE EFFORT TO GET THERE.
EXCERPT FROM EXERCISE SECTION:
What do I mean by exercise? Perhaps a better question is what do I
NOT mean by exercise. I do not mean the typical so-called aerobic exercise which became so prevalent in the 1970s and 1980s.It is
NOT about jumping about, etc. It IS about gentle stretching movements, combined with deep breathing.For years I have maintained that it is impossible to prevent the natural tendency of MS to progress without a commitment to regular, gentle exercise.
After personally trying many programs, for a number of years I have recommended Yoga that is modified for limited the person with limited mobility, and the gentle healing "movements" of Tai Chi/Qi Gong in the TAI CHI / QI GONG FOR SENIORS program.
Developed over hundreds of years ago in the ancient healing arts of china, Qi Gong is a series of simple and easy movements to heal your body and keep it well, and YOGA FOR MS is an easy to do yet powerful routine to keep your body strong. Yoga is especially effective at strengthening the core of your body and for maintaining strength in the legs.
IF YOUR GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN THE ABILITY TO WALK,
THEN YOU NEED BOTH Qi GONG AND
MODIFIED YOGA ROUTINES
I truly believe that I walk and maintain a normal life today because of the daily practice of Tai Chi/Qi Gong for the past 12 years, and Modified Yoga for about the last 10 years.
Don't miss the simple breathing exercise for insomnia. It really works.
