Ann Boroch’s new book, Healing Multiple Sclerosis: Diet, Detox and Nutritional Makeover for Total Recovery, is not for everyone. The author’s New Age slant will appeal to those looking for a cure without traditional research backing, but it’s a turn-off for anyone searching for a more widely accepted MS treatment for managing their disease.
Candida Albicans a Culprit
The author’s engaging personality shines through the pages, while her personal journey with the disease gives her the credentials to advance her theory about a cure. She suggests an MS treatment protocol centered mostly around her belief that candida albicans, a yeast condition, is a likely culprit in the malady.
Recipes and suggested foods are included in the book, and Boroch provides a five-week “nutritional makeover” complete with daily supplement suggestions and a list of recommended products. There is also a section of case histories on those who have supposedly triumphed over MS, along with a promise to “dramatically restore patients to health.”
Mental and spiritual rehabilitation are covered with obvious talent by the author. She discusses how to handle environmental factors and stress, as well as dealing with nutritional regeneration. Are you going to want to plunk down approximately $12 for the information? Absolutely, if you are open to the concepts she puts forth and anxious to try her restrictive MS diet in the hope of some relief from your MS symptoms.
But if your concept of healing extends only to more traditional medicine, then apply those greenbacks to a good paperback and a carton of Ben and Jerry’s. Either way, stress-busting alternatives can definitely be bought.
