Must-See Documentaries

LIVING PROOF
The challenge is on, Matt Embrey and his father research MS like no other and find out that diet, supplements and CCSVI are swept under the rug by big Pharma & the MS Society. If you buy it through our website, Darrell will reimburse you the $3.99 to watch it

INTRODUCING, SELMA BLAIR
Here’s a great clip of a trailer of the director showing the strength it takes Selma to overcome this horrible disease. Selma goes after the last resort of HSCT (where Darrell believes should become the first resort). You must have Discovery + to watch this. Side note: if you can get me in contact with Selma please do, this charity is what we want her to see.

MS Information

Being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis is very hard to overcome but with today’s resources at your fingertips it’s a lot easier than what is used to be.  Here are several sites that have loads of information that will give you all the information than you would want.  We suggest that you find one or two that fits you best and stick with them as your information sites.  They will stay up on the latest news and information that you need.

MS SOCIETY
The largest organization in the world.

MS Centers, Doctors & Etc.

A lot of people aren’t aware that there are MS Centers across the country and it’s important that you do your research to find the one closest to you.  Multiple Sclerosis has come a long way since it was years ago and there are MS doctors that know this disease more than anyone else.  This is not to say that your neurologist isn’t doing his or her job correctly but there’s a difference in a handy man installing a light fixture than an electrician.  You want the best and in this case with your body…find a doctor that knows MS and knows the latest studies, events, clinical trials, etc.

MEDICARE PLANS
A great resource with questions and answers about todays Medicaid and Medicare plans.

MS Diets

Multiple Sclerosis is an auto-immune disease and has many chronic symptoms.  We feel a diet is a great way to forget about your symptoms and feel great about yourself.  As Darrell looks at it, “it’s not a diet…it’s a lifestyle change”.  Darrell takes the best recipes from all the books and put together the best plan for himself.  Everyone is different but he truly believes in cutting out anti-inflammatory foods that trigger your symptoms.

A word from Darrell:  If you ask me about my diet, I’m going to tell you how much pride I take in it, I will make sure you are aware that it’s for real and I know I’m in a better place because of it.  I took out sugar, dairy, gluten, red meats, pork, eggs, alcohol, grains (except brown rice), legumes (except almonds & cashews) but when you look at me like, “why, what do you eat”, I say plenty and love everything I do eat.  Sometimes I feel like I can even do more and sometimes I will have that glass of red wine.  Diet has made my symptoms go away; I truly believe that.

Best Bet
Matt Embrey has become a MS mentor with his social media platform and #nocheatdays approach.  I’m not sure what I’m more enamored with, him or his father the researcher but their recipe book is on point.  I use about 50% of my diet through this book.

ABOVE MS
Great recipes, great online presence and up to date flavors.

WAHLS PROTOCOL
An amazing story about a doctor who turned her MS life around using diet.  I have taken recipes from here and absolutely love the three categories she breaks it into.  Much respect to this woman and her amazing feats.
SWANK DIET
The original maker of any MS diet, the legend of the Swank diet is amazing and what a great way to know 50 years ago there was someone screaming DIET.
