Angeldifferent, I am curious about your experience with Swank and I am even more curious about the experiences of your friend that has been following the diet for 20 years.
I didn't even know about Swank until I was diagnosed 3 years ago. I use these stories from Swank followers for the encouragement.
There is so much advertisement for the MS drugs (and I don't have any problem with them ) that a casual observer thinks that the MS disease is under control and is 'cured'. Which is surely not true but to the uninformed and casual observer, the ads make it seem so.
I just have been laser focused on diet and healthy lifestyle choices leading to successes. Even small successes and health improvements are better than the alternative.
I am so grateful to you all, here, for the responses to my post.

Guest repliedOriginally posted by Angeldifferent View PostI've been following the Swank-- only been on it 3 weeks, but already feel "lighter". The no red meat thing I think was a huge set-back for me, so to be off red meat feels wonderful! A family friend has been on the Swank diet for nearly 20 years and she is doing great! No shots needed, etc...so I'm following her lil path : )

rainykatie,
I have a Vitamix juicer and I have not used it as much as I should. I believe in juices for strength and health. So thanks for refreshing my memory.

Jerry --
If you go back to amazon.com and find Jelenik's book, click on the "Look Inside" part. Then, in the "Search", type recipes. It will take you to page 323, which recommends Jelenik's website, which provides recipes.
On page 325, he also recommends several books (including Swank) which have recipes.
Maybe that will give you a place to start, without purchasing the book. I wasn't clear if Jelenik's book provides recipes or not. I read through some (but not all) of the customer reviews and did not see any mention of recipes.
Sometimes, if your local library does not carry a copy, they can borrow one for you on inter-library loan (ILL), and you could look it over before you see if you want to purchase it.

not sure about jeleniks book yet.
i find that having a green smothie greatly increases my energy. do you have a blender?
mix any fruits you like with either kale, spinach, collards, or turnip greens. i add flax seed too.
lately i have been on a coconut oil kick. i have less than one serving per day (very high in fat) but it is supposed to be really good for you. i mix it with pb2 (powdered peanuts) or put it on oatmeal or on top of chopped apples.
i also drink tons of water!

Thanks rainykatie,
Now the question is, does the Jelinek book contain recipes and menus? I see it advertised on Amazon, but the ad doesn't show me recipes or menus. I am ready to find a better way toward my goal of better walking and clearer thinking. The brain fog and the fatigue and the lack of coordination is beyond my patience. And I am a patient man. Pass on any diet positives you find. I will appreciate it.

Which diet are U doing?
Hi all,
I am following either McDougall or Swank. I have Swank's book and many of the McDougall recipes. I want more info on Jelinek's diet and the others, especially the diet plans that have changed their 'promoters' lives, positively.
What have you got?Tags: None
