Hi,
I've been on the BBD about 10 years - in fact this website saved my life. My case of multiple sclerosis was very aggressive, probably even rarely so; within about 3 months from feeling sick enough to stay home, I'd lost nearly all use of my legs, and a lot of vision, as well as having other trouble on the same side, and all the miserable stuff I won't try to fit in - anyway I could barely get out of bed or think, and probably would have been paralyzed within a few years (the neurologist was stunned to catch such an aggressive case). Luckily, a friend working in holistic medicine had heard of dietary therapies working, and I wound up here. It took about a year to get really well, even though the positive effects were dramatic, and just kept a constant improvement going on. I took the ELISA tests with a group discount, and even in this group, had unusual results, with severe sensitivies on all the likely suspects and a couple other things, so that became part of my diet too, and was when things seemed to really kick in.
I still just don't have multiple sclerosis, at least as long as I don't want to, and have had no trouble with it since, unless I went off the diet - for various reasons, that did happen a few times, and at the first sign of the disease returning, I straightened back up. None of those signs were anywhere near in the same catagory as the way things started, and lousing up on the diet being caused by unrelated things at odd times, shows I didn't just somehow switch from an extreme progressive case to a very mile, erratic attacks kind - doctors I've had since either just assume I was misdiagnosed, or are already aware of nutritional therapy for it anyway. And there's been no faint sign at all now, for about 5 years, since I learned to watch my "cheating line", no matter what else happens.
Around the same time I was diagnosed with IBS, have also had chronic fatigue, and was born with Celiac; basically all the autoimmune stuff. Besides wanting to express my deeply felt gratitude, to everyone here, and everyone working to help with nutritional and natural therapies, I really do have a point.
I'd found I couldn't get by without supplements (which I also couldn't afford) until a couple years ago, when I seemed to be okay without them. Besides wondering a lot about low energy and if I'd gotten chronic fatigue back, that worked until recently. I thought I was having another of my off the wall "reactions" to something, but it didn't go away, just got worse. I didn't get ms symptoms, but painful joints - long story shorter, I don't have medical coverage (I'm American) so I haven't had tests, and never will, no one can afford that - but I finally wound up figuring out it's rheumatoid arthritis. By now, it's lasted awhile and there's no doubt left; it was easy to tell from the start it was something with my "immune reactions", I know those too well by now, and really I don't care which autoimmune thing happens anyway, they all attack and overlap for everyone in the epidemic. Very thankfully ! I knew what to do, and on my way to getting the long supplement list, talked to someone about a nutritional product where you just drink a shake - reading the ingredients knocked me out, they were so close to the supplement list here.
Since then I'm finding word has gotten around a lot, while I wasn't looking, and there are other of these kinds of products around; I've also noted an amazing change in labelling, for food here, with the same usual suspects listed as allergens in labelling, for the pricy health foods. Apparently there's a lot of parallel discovery going on (a web search confirms that easily too), which I'm inclined to suspect started with the things here, and multiple sclerosis, more than anything.
Now I'm just really worried about what I should take; I'm already starting to see good results, with only a few weeks on the shakes (they're supposed to be a more absorbable, better way to get nutritional supplement). What has me worried is that they're expensive - not that much more, but it's very tough for me anyway, so even a minor difference matters. I've also ordered some of the key things, to make sure of higher doses, and haven't gotten them yet, but that's more cost. Now I'm checking online, and seeing some claims that similar, less expensive products may work better - buying the whole shelf of different things, is of course, much harder. I had a doctor who was great with all this, but haven't found anyone else as good, and can't afford much time on their part if I did. Discussion about these things is easy to find in cancer and general autoimmune forums, and a lot of people seem to get excellent results with the stuff I'm on. Probably it's a case of individuals will vary, if you pay for good nutritional supplements, that are designed on a similar model for immune support, etc.
For now, I'm hoping someone here knows something about this, since the BBD plan is definitely the most reliable cure I know of; and if not, I hope there's a way to ask Ashton Embry about it or something along similar lines. Probably the most important worry for me is really that this stuff is soy based - it's non-gmo, with impressive quality control, and I've found that soy in some forms, like the oil or lecithin, is like yogurt with milk sensivitity, and doesn't affect my reactions. The same is true for a lot of people, but I can't pin the ingredients down closely enough; having a noticeably positive response this fast is impressive, but doesn't necessarily prove there isn't also soy working against me. Obviously, I need to figure this out pretty soon anyway. I'm also going by food cravings, which I had like crazy (a lot more than with pregnancy or anything else I know of) when I got sick from multiple sclerosis, and that came up again recently with this too. I've talked to other people with autoimmune things who've had so much of exactly the same things, but my cravings went away after the first week. So, okay it's great for nutrition, but how can I tell exactly what's best for me to be doing now?
Long, complicated questions, but I'll trust any info from this site more than others, and it's worth it.
