Overcoming Secondary Progressive MS Through the Use of Intensive Nutrition for Mitochondria and Restoration of Muscle Strength Through Exercise Coupled with Electrical Stimulation of Muscles.

The Story

After four years dependent on first a scooter and then a tilt recline wheelchair  due to secondary progressive multiple sclerosis I have been able to return to the walking world and even ride my bicycle five miles to work each day.   I devised the interventions which were so successful and am beginning research on whether these interventions are helpful for others.

The Mission

Teaching my colleagues and the public about the critical link between mitochondrial health and our health. I  teach a short course titled Food as Medicine- which focuses on how the food we eat is responsible for uch of the health we have or do not have. I teach both to medical professionals and to the public. It has become my passion to teach both our future doctors, my fellow MS patients, and the public about the critical link between our nutrition and the health of our brains and our bodies. The solution to the health care crisis in America and around the world is with understanding the links between micronutrients eaten and the health we have or do not have. Unless we eat the nutrients our mitochondria and cells need, our societies will continue to get ever more sickly regardless of how much money we spend on health care.
